#89 - Intermediate Slap Bass Lesson 3 - Double-Thumbing (Patreon)

My fellow bass players,

We've covered a lot of different slap bass techniques in both the beginner and intermediate slap courses, but without a doubt, one of the best ways to take your slap game to the next level is with double-thumbing.

Most of today's master slap bassists incorporate at least some double-thumb, because it allows you to play twice as fast with pretty much the same amount of effort!

This is definitely a more advanced technique and it will feel awkward and maybe even a bit painful at first - it did for me when I first tried it.

I've designed some exercises that should ease you into it a bit. The first two are fairly simple, the third is more challenging and the 4th is more like "extra credit" - don't worry if it's too advanced for you right now.

Check out companion videos 89.1 - 89.4 for the full exercise videos, tabs and backing tracks!

As always, let me know if you have any questions and I'll make sure to answer ASAP!

Thanks for coming here and practising with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next lesson!
