Stomp Slap Bass Lesson - Part 1

In this lesson I break down the 1st half of Louis Johnson's slap bass solo section from the Brother's Johnson dance hit, Stomp. I give you one note at a time in a really simple and easy to follow style.
Scott.

[jefffreeman]

I love watching this over and over and working through it. So well done, Scott. AND the "It sounds like this" is really great.

[kevmac]

OMG if I live 20 more years I might get there! You're a monster like Louis was. Man Bros' Johnson could play.

[paullowe]

Thank you for making sense of this Scott in a simple slow manor. Simple = Can now play. Brilliant sir

[ramon]

Nice lesson for the intermediate bass players out there. Many bass players that can play well, but not many are good at teaching other players (including myself).
