7 Slap Bass Guitar Exercises
Resources
To dive deeper into funk bass techniques (there is some slap in the following resources but also finger style):
- Funk Bass Course [COURSE]
- 100 Funk Grooves for Electric Bass [BOOK]
The book was written before the course. The course takes 40 of the 100 grooves and goes in depth into style, tone, technique, and theory.
There's tons of good stuff on rhythm, bass line construction, a bit of slap bass, and how to get your timing and technique together.
