Slap Grooves
This example is a bass run combining the slap technique with the shuffle rhythm.
The next example is the same riff found throughout the previous one, but this time with the slap technique. You may wish to go back and try all of the last example using this style.
This example combines double stops with other techniques discussed earlier.
A slap groove is featured in this example. A one bar riff is used with T, P, hammer-ons and ghost notes. It is applied on a 16 bar variation of the 12 Bar Blues Rock progression. Practice the riff separately for each chord before playing through the whole progression.
