Bass Lessons - Beginners Lesson 2 bass tab

Hammer on

--------

Hammers are used in many songs. They are 2 tabs together so its one sound but

sounds like 2 . They are written like 0H1.

Now heres how you do it. Place one of your fingers on the fourth fret and at

the split second after you pluck the E string stick you other finger on the

fifth fret this makes 2 sounds in one pluck. Keep trying

Good look into more of my lessons :D

Here are some slapping tips

Slaps

------

A slap is a sound made from hitting the strings it is a very hard techniquie

which is mostly used into Jazz so we should start learning now. The sound

is very ahrd to get you may not get ti because either your guitar doesn't have

the right sound controls or amp.

But you can try so start off with something easy . I like to hit any where past

the magnets towards the frets. fold your fingers and use your thumb to slap

the strings. start from fret 1 on the E strings and work your way up through

all strings. Yuo probably wont get a good sound from DG unless you ahve good

technique or guitar volumes.

Gently slap these over and over you'll get the hang of it. You can try Strinsg

D And G but i would practice D and A First.

A song thats good to practise slaps is MY NAME IS MUD by Primus it goes like

this. Use light slapping. Try to do ti fast. This will also help your hammers.
