    I really want to buy your Signature Bass from Sweetwater. I have some questions. I am conflicted can you help me out. Should I pay for their "Sweetwater Pre-Ship Pleking"? What are you thoughts. Also, do you have a good matching Hardcase suggestion? And if I change the strings what would you recommend I mainly mess around alone. Many styles. I lean heavily toward the Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Jaco, Berthoud. Camp.

    I've been wanting to have a shot at learning this one for years, but never managed to work out what techniques were going on and where. This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for!! As a long time bassist who's already spent far too long trying to get down my double thumb, double pluck, left-hand slap etc., I've never quite got this style of tapping + strumming down. This is just what I needed to try and take my slap to another level, with a really good breakdown of all the magic Victor's doing on the track. Now (with a little more practice), there's a chance I *Can* Hold No Groove!!

Happy to see this come out! That middle section with tapping out the bassline with the left hand while ALSO fretting for the strummed melody is ridiculous!

    “It’s not so bad, just do this slap, double pop, double strum 16th note triplets - and…go!” 🤯🤯🤯 Kidding aside, this is an awesome tutorial - ive been chipping away at this song for years and can see why I’m so stuck, and likely would not improve since I’ve had the technique mostly wrong. Would love to see future videos on creative uses of harmonics and how to really nail things like in this song where you simultaneously play a bass note along with multiple harmonics and get them all to ring out so nicely!

    a way to fill the gap without 24 frets in the intro phrase that I am partial to is just a fifth fret harmonic. its the same note just a bit softer but it does the trick. also gives some practice jumping to a harmonic

    Having a 21 frets 4 strings bass, my solution to the 1st phrase's tapped G string's 24th fret is just to play the natural harmonic on the G string's 5th fret. Nevertheless, I do agree that it sound much more fun to just add a small fun lick instead though.
