This slap bass workout has upbeat disco feel. The bass part was inspired by the sound of early Jamiroquai albums and the bass playing of Stuart Zender. As a result, you’ll be playing lots of disco octave grooves, sliding octave figures, and switching between slap and fingerstyle playing. This one is a great workout for beginner players who are looking to challenge themselves and build on their existing skills.
🎸 What You'll Learn:
• Root-Octave Grooves: The main groove in this piece is an eighth note-based disco octave bassline.
• Sliding Figures: The main disco octave bassline is developed with several sliding figures, all of which use chord tones to reinforce the harmony
• Switching Techniques: In the breakdown section you’ll be switching between slap licks and fingerstyle lines.
🎸 Gear Used:
• Bass: GB Guitars Spitfire Bass
• Strings: Rotosound stainless steel (.040, .060, .080, .100)
• Recording: Tech21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI
