Double Pluck Technique

Woo, bass lessons! Really good stuff.

Finally a Bass lesson on UGTV!
Done well too.

Nice lil funky riff there, but I wish the player would explain what hes doing, the technique, frets fingering etc.

nice

Nice to see a Bass lesson here, but I agree. Even though it's slowed down it would be nice with some explanations as it's carried along. Still, good stuff.

awesome..

what kind of bass is that im guessing fender?

^^
i think it's a p bass ( fender )
nice leason, really helpfull

i'd love to master this technique, but the video didn't really help...i dont know what it is, but when i hammer with my thumb, i don't get a clear tone EVER...I'm definitely doing something wrong, I just don't know what...

thats awesome

Finally a bass vid!! I wish there was a little more explanation... like maybe a quick tab; but hey, I'm not complaining.

i agree, it's usually a lot easier to have something explained to you than to just see it a few times or even to see it slow. it's still good to see bass lessons on here, i hope that more will be added.

im playing that bass right now weird

fat riff though

dudes i couldnt get that

cool, i'm waiting for more bass lessons here (:

imagine i was playin that riff... lol i only havin guitar... but someh0w it's an0ther great but 'speechless' lesson... lol...

its prolly ur bass =]
i have a crappy bass too and i never get the sound right, but wen i tried it on a gibson or a fender its like WHOAAAA!!!

yea thats the coolest bass lessons ive ever seen

cool stuff! more bass lessons please.,

i would of never thought of that it is so cool

Hehe it is a good lesson though,.

Good lesson. Clear video.

yay a bass lesson!funky riff too.

Very well explained I thought. You don't really need language in music. good video. I was able to pick up the riff by the end of the video which means i approve!

That was a pretty poor instructional video overall. If the attempt was to teach a new technique it failed. Seeing something is okay. Seeing something and then having it explained to you, and then seeing it again, is fantastic.

Where's the lesson?

it would be easier if there was some written explaination, or spoken but i figured it out..

this is great but can we have some more bass lessons?

man you're so cool,i love it!!!

nice lesson, i was referring to the tabs and i was wondering what does the T and S stand for is it thumb and slap?

Are you serious? This is a technique? I thought I made something new

a bit easy too easy ;p

i mean...just easy


but certainly cool

what is he... smacking the strings with the thumb?

great lessons for anyone learning how to play the bass guitar.

this leson is cheap it doesnt explain anything
all i learned was dont curl your fingers

that not a very good slap bass but it looks sooooo cool

helpful...

just a note, this isnt rwaly called double fingering or whatever, its called "slapping" look up some funk stuff from about the 60's i think, and ull gett a few, nice lesson though, :P

I have the same bass as him I think haha, Fender P-Bass....idk...i just cant produce enough sound from that method...maybe the action isn't close enough.

Double Plucking is an advanced addition on to slap and pop. Normal slap and pop technique only uses one finger to do the 'pop.'

Cool riff, but the video is kinda useless without an explanation.

What he's trying to teach us is Victor Wooten's double thump technique, which is different from regular slap.

Also, Victor Wooten does the double thump by using his thumb essentially as a pick, going up and down to pluck the string. This video ignores that aspect.

snap!
fender precision bass, right?
i got a fender squier precision an it looks just like that!

wish he would talk about what he was doing

I literally play this every time I jam with my friends

Awesome lesson! Great exercise for both hands

Remarkable lesson. I've been taking a bat at this technique and I think I finally got it down.

did he put up a link with tabs on that?
