Cool Slap Bass Riff with Capo (+tutorial)

Hope you guys enjoy these little mini music videos! They're fun to make.

This is a cool slap riff using open strings that I came up with a few years ago, and just dusted off to show you guys. Using a capo on bass seems pretty uncommon, but it's really fun and might help refresh your view of the instrument if you feel like you're in a musical rut.

So have fun and let me know if you dug it!

And yeah, that's a banana on my arm.
