I should mention, these are not video samples in the post above but audio only – but you can clearly hear the effect. Here’s one video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uMvkMabeFI) MAJOR tuning issues, I hate to even send you this link LOL!! I have so few videos playing solo since 99% of my gigs are jazz gigs with my hubby playing jazz acoustic bass.
Hey Kreig, thank you so much for emailing me. I’ve used the slap bass technique since my first gig in Atlantic City in 1980. As a solo harpist at that time, I felt the need to have something not only percussive but rhythmic since that’s the way I hear music. What I do is play an octave or 10th in the left hand on 1 and 3 and slap the bass strings on 2 & 4 with the palm. Hope that helps. Here’s a few videos from my solo CDs where I slap on everything.
