Slap Bass Patterns: Thumb Hammer Pluck Exercise with 3 Variations
In this slap bass lesson, we start working on the thumb-hammer-pluck pattern, one of the most useful slap rudiments I know. Victor Wooten is one of the main innovators of using this particular pattern. I wrote this exercise so we can work on it together at a few different levels of complexity. Have fun!
Little note on the sound - If the bass sounds out of sync with the drums at times, I apologize and am still finding the perfect setup to get my voice, the bass, and the drums all mixed right. It sounded good in the room while I was playing, but it seems they got recorded at slightly different times or something, so I'll improve that next time!
