And here's the tab and backing track! The intro is pretty accessible to beginner/intermediates, then once the slap comes in it gets more advanced. Let me know if you have any questions at all!

Thanks and have a great weekend, see you in the next video!

Dear Charles, do you have a good lesson for practising the triplets dead notes in f.e. bar 19 and 21. In your sheet they are laboured with slap + pop + pop, but i thinks it's more like slap and then strum like an acoustic guitar, right? It's not a real pop with one finger? I really dont get those triplets fluent into my groove, they totaly get me out of timing even with slow tempo. Best wishes

Hi Marvin - as of now I don’t have a lesson specifically for that but I’ll try to include it in upcoming lessons! In all my tabs, “S” actually means strum, while “T” is thumb (i.e. slap). So that triplet you’re talking about is strum, pop, pop. Strum down, then pop with index finger, pop with middle finger. You can kind of do both pops with one movement of your wrist to make things easier
