Funk Bass Techniques (Including The SHAKE)

Funk bass is all about precise playing and expressive techniques. In this lesson, I'll teach you a cool groove and how to embellish it using:

  1. Funk fingerstyle
  2. Fast hand shifting
  3. Hammer-ons
  4. Pull-offs.
  5. The 'shake'
  6. Slides
  7. Ghost Notes

The groove from this funk bass tutorial is from my Funk Bass course.
