me and my bass guitar video?

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

there's nothing to it. if you can tap you can play this song. the only hard part is learning how to mute efficiently and being able to have indepence with both hands, as if it were a piano piece.

it's pretty much all tapping. the intro is the easiest part. if you can't play that after playing bass for one day i seriously fear for you. what tab are you using?

Try learning it without playing all the dead notes. And just play the tapping parts.


h6 means hammer 6, as if it were a tap. so just hammer the six to get that.

no. you don't slap anything. at all. no slapping. your right hand is entirely removed. i suggest learning how to tap fluidly before attempting the verse.

it's the same thing. the only difference is that you are tapping the chords with your right hand in the second part.

Make sure you have the basics down of slap - and be able to do octave/fifth etc slaps. Then learn some flea stuff, or simple stuff. Then first for vic, I'd recommend some parts of sinister minister (octave/walkup slap part).

Don't you hit the muted notes with your thumb and index finger? :?
