Slaps Bass For Beginners Bass Lessons Hey I wrote this tab to help people who are learning slaps bass. I did really right this I wrote it again because my other good account and all my tabs got deleted somehow. I changed a few things and added a few more exercises in. I did NOT copy this from a book its just set up like one. Play the first bar twice then the second twice. Feel free to play around with the timing Slaps bass is using your right thumb (if left handed then left) to 'slap' the strings. To slap use your right thumb to hit the string. Try and do this close to the fretboard. Twist your wrist and release the thumb after contact with the string. This is one of the methods used to play slap bass. Do not hit the string with force, it will only make background noises and wont have a clear sound. Make sure that your slapping is accurate and firm. Slapping is represented with an 'S' or a 'T' Exercise 1 ------------------------------|------------------------------ ------------------------------|------------------------------ ------------------------------|-0-------0-------0-------0---- 0-------0-------0-------0-----|------------------------------ S S S S S S S S 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Exercise 2 ------------------------------|------------------------------ ------------------------------|------------------------------ ------------------------------|-0-------0-------0---0---0---0 0-------0-------0---0---0---0-|------------------------------ S S S S S S S S S S S S 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Ghost notes or dampened notes are notes that have no distinguishable pitch and are shown with an 'x' This is rythm techique or is used to stop a note from ringing.
