   An Octave Slap Pattern for Bass

   May 18, 2026 ·Technique· Intermediate ·5 min read

   The root-and-octave slap pattern is one of the most versatile building blocks in slap bass, showing up in funk, rock, pop, and fusion lines. This lesson sets up the right-hand thumb and pop, walks four octave pairs across the fingerboard, and covers the pressure release between notes that keeps both hands clean.

   Slap Bass Technique Fundamentals

   May 4, 2026 ·Technique· Intermediate ·7 min read

   Slap is a technique rather than a style, and you can play funk with a pick or with your fingers just as well. Everything works around the double-thumb angle, and once you let that be king, your regular thumb, pops, and hand position all fall in line. In this lesson I set up the right hand for efficient slap playing.

   Right-Hand Form for 6-String Bass

   Apr 27, 2026 ·Technique· Intermediate ·7 min read

   The 6-string bass adds a low B and a high C, which means two more strings ringing out while you're trying to play cleanly. Most of the noise problems on this instrument come down to right-hand form and thumb-muting habits. This lesson sets up the hand so the strings you aren't playing stay quiet.
