wow dude you rock ima def use this lesson in my lines thats great rock on dude

dude your instrument is so off-key. didn’t you hear that?

@konomrd13 i checked the tuning before i recorded. The camera’s mic just picked up the fretless sound in a weird way. the notes are in tune…

@ernlive yea, maybe but… i don’t know… you play well anyway

Imma upload a video of me tapping as a video response. I found out that I was doing appregios this entire time without knowing exactly. Though, I could be wrong. I’m new to the bass so when I upload it, don’t judge me.

wow that does sound easy!

I’ve been playing like 15 years and this is the coolest technique; I feel like it was right under my fingers and I never saw it.

@JERSEYTARPIT I felt the same way when i figured it out. Thank billy sheehan! he showed me the chordal formations, but instead of doing them sequentially he just kinda mashes them like a piano

@McTacoKingHutJr I saw a Sheehan video where he said he figured tapping out from Billy Gibbons, and I thought the same thing “that’s cool, but he’s just kinda going nuts.” I already figured out how to incorporate your technique into most common chord types and technical metal riffs are suddenly starting to come together. Necrophagist arpeggios finally at my fingertips! Thanks again dude for this straight forward yet amazing technique.

@JERSEYTARPIT very cool man. check out my follow up to this video for a good way to arpeggiate some of the weirder chords that don’t line up as well

Great lesson Jason! It’s definitely helping to me build the callouses on my right hand as well. Your tapping technique sounds amazing. Do you ever sit down to a metronome and practice this stuff?

@mystique1721

definitely helping me to build the callouses*

what exactly do you mean by “moving the 3rd note around?” Could you give an example? In terms of theory.

what I mean is that one string higher in pitch and one fret back from any note is the Major third. if you flat that note by one fret it becomes a Minor third. if you flat it by one fret again its a suspended third, or basically a second, so you you’re no longer accentuating whether or not the chord is major or minor

Thank you, awesome technique!

this guy has 4 hands!

cool. this was in a Wooten vid from years ago. good speed though

omg that was extremely helpful in 2 minutes, better than any 10 minutes lesson

hey, what kind of string would you recommend for tapping? smooth ones?

@MysteryBassMan96 Roundwounds are best. they are less tension, making them easier to press down on, so you don’t have to strain as hard to get clear notes

@asgarddrambo no, 4 fingers, one per string

Great video! And single cuts basses are the best designs ever! Too bad they are so expensive

ugh my pickups suck! :/ damn i hate stock bc rich pick ups.

Great lesson! I feel like a total boss right now.

Your action seems like it must be pretty extreme. Nice vid
