My Top 10 Slap Bass Riffs - #1 'Nobody Weird Like Me' by Flea

In this video I demonstrate how to play the slap bass line that opens 'Nobody Weird Like Me', by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You’ll find this track on the 1989 album Mother’s Milk.
This awesome slap part from Flea was one of my favourite lines when I was learning to play, and it's a great example of a slap part that's easier to play than it might seem! I used a Music Man Sterling SUB bass for this lesson.

    Stuart Clayton I own the same but in walnut satin and it’s brilliant, I use it instead of my actual Musicman (Mainly because the real one is a vintage ha) but they are defiantly bang for the buck basses

    They sure are@@lc5483 . I used a vintage 76 StingRay on another track and it sounded utterly incredible. But the SUB is pretty close at a fraction of the price. Great that young players have access to such great-sounding basses. Here's an old video with the vintage StingRay (wasn't mine sadly...): kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnyuy9F_iLKypNY.html

    Great vid and looking forward to the rest! It struck me listening to it again that I'll never understand why for multitudes of folks when Flea does this it's cool but when Mark King does it's slated. When the drums kick in here it reminds me of parts of Mark's solo on Rockplast version of Love Games in 84. This is no criticism of Flea, RHCP fans this video or anyone- just something I've never figured out!

    Thanks, hope you enjoy the rest of the series! There's plenty of players that don't 'get' Mark's playing, but he's certainly got his share of fans. Both are great players, big influences for me.
