Slap Bass Riff

Now this is a riff in the key of A. We’re not going to use any drum tracks or it’s up to you which tempo that you want to play at. We’re just going to dive straight in that, play the riff then I’m little bit break it down step by step and teach you exactly how to play it.

Now before we go any further with the actual breakdown of this lesson, I would like to apologize that we cannot put the tablature for this lesson on to YouTube itself. If you do want the tablature to work along with, then I suggest that you go to itsabass.com. Now to view this lesson with the tablature, you will have to become a member and a full lifetime member costs five English pounds. Now with that, you will get this lesson with the tablature but you will also currently get over 50 lessons on there. Each lesson is a breakdown, teaching you how to play the slap bass riff. We will look into the thumb and pluck techniques. We will look into the fret board techniques and combining the left and right hand together. We will then go into muting techniques, dead note techniques, riff and lick lessons and much, much more. And because there are tons of information, I'm just going to give you a quick list now of everything that you will get when you become a member of itsabass.com.

And with that said, let’s move on to the actual breakdown of the riff.
