title: octave slap/pop exercise

tabbed by: juleon

this is a great funky exercise that my bass teacher guy taught me which can

greatly increase your slapping and popping abilityif done correctly.

The following may seem fairly simple, but remeber that this is used to make

your slap and pop sound become more strong.

Also after popping a string try using your hand to dampen the note (this makes

the note sound more clear)

seems fairly simple, remeber only move on once you have made this sound as

clear and perfect as possible and dampen the popped string.
