With its sleek offset body; thin, fast neck and rich, growling tone, it was a raring, roaring racecar of a bass that quickly established itself as a must-have instrument. The new American Standard Jazz Bass is an even finer instrument; a modern interpretation of a classic built for modern players. Features include a high-mass vintage bridge, thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, improved Fender tuners that are 30 percent lighter while keeping the classic look, richer and deeper neck tint for a more elegant appearance, great-looking gloss rosewood fingerboard, satin neck back for smooth playability and Fender-exclusive SKB® molded case.</div><br /><h2 style="font-size: medium;

"Open Hammer Pluck" (OHP) is just a name and like all names they can be changed.<br /><br /><strong>Tab Symbo</strong><br />T = Thumb or Slap<br />P = Pop using the index finger<br />HO , H = Hammer-on<br /><br /><strong>1.Basic Pattern</strong><br /><br /><img alt="victor wooten's slap technic tab for OHP" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7131/3322/1600/Image1.gif" /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Throughout all of the different ways that we will explore this technique over the next few lessons,<br />it is good if we can keep the concept the same.<br />"Simple". This will allow us to keep our "thinking" simple as the technique gets more complex.<br />To get us started, here is my song of the basic OHP using to combine moving chord progressive in Em .<br />My song and sound that you hear guideline to create your song with OHP technique.<br />I using lick in Em scale as thus tab below.<br /><br /><img alt="victor wooten's slap technic tab for OHP" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7131/3322/1600/Image2.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.guitarcool.com/bass/nicorus/classic_in_em.wma" width="200" height="160" border="1" showcontrols="1" showstatusbar="1" showaudiocontrols="1" playcount="0" autostart="0" showdisplay="0" enablecontextmenu="0" mute="0"><br /></embed><br /><br />It consist of three notes or three "attacks" (since some of the notes can be played as muted notes).<br />Start with this and get comfortable with it.<br />it at different speeds and with different levels of dynamics but make sure that each note stays clean and distinct.<br />Make sure that you can hear each individual attack. That will allow us to move it around much easier later.<br /><br />All Tab below are show notes of my song in progressive chords "Em,D7,C7,B7" etc.<br /><br /><strong>Tab Symbo</strong><br />T = Thumb or Slap<br />P = Pop using the index finger<br />HO , H = Hammer-on<br /><br /><img alt="victor wooten's slap technic tab for OHP" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7131/3322/1600/Image3.gif" /><br /><br /><img alt="OHP progressive chord" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7131/3322/1600/Image4.gif" /><br /><br /><img alt="OHP progressive chord" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7131/3322/1600/Image5.gif" /></span>Bass Centralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05763218353740023206noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30906254.post-1152979107614209152006-07-15T07:52:00.000-07:002006-07-17T04:41:49.690-07:00Improvement trick for Victor's slap technique .my problem in victor's slap bass technique is have some time interrupt from my thumb position over string to be slow when i had pluck string .<br /><br /><img src="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/song/bass_plate5.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/song/bass_plate3.jpg" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/song/victorslap.wmv"><strong><span style="color:#cc6600;">Click-->Clip VDO Show my slap bass improvement</span></strong></a><span class="fullpost"><br />As high between string and bass's body is very much thus picture below .<br /><img src="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/bass_plate2.jpg" /><br /><br />I try to make a plate that i had knew this trick from thai bass player of the ETC band that i saw what plate bind on his bass body ,it is beautiful and merge with his bass.But my plate in the picture below is very abomination Ha...Ha....<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">My a problem improvement</span> </strong><br /><strong></strong><br />I use a plastic plate to support for increase height for bass's surface.<br /><br />Plate thickness is about 0.5 cm.<br /><img src="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/bass_plate7.jpg" /><br /><br />attach it by a 2 side glue tape(Sorry,i don't know a noun in english).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/bass_plate8.jpg" /><br /><br />Ha...Ha..

One very important invention was the electric guitar, and the man who invented it was Leo Fender (of Fender Guitars fame). Out of his electric guitar he also created the first Bass guitar, called the Precision Bass. Because of the invention of the guitar, Slap Bass was also introduced, as the style was nearly impossible to perform on a traditional upright bass. <br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Since the days of Stanley Clarke and Bootsy, slap bass has evolved much in the past 30-40 years. Innovators like Les Claypool, known for his bizarre style and outlandish music in the band Primus, as well as Victor Wooten and Bill Dickens, who both, in their own ways, have introduced new techniques within the traditional thumb style. <br /><br />Other, more well known performers, such as Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), P-Nut (311), and Dirk Lance (Formerly of Incubus), have inspired tens of thousands of new musicians to experiment with this percussive style of bass playing. While somewhat frowned upon by the previous generations traditionalists, slap bass has become quite an important part of todays modern styles. <br /><br /><br />I would like to suggress with you for search information in web site.<br />Basised who i would like to present are<br /><a href="http://www.videoprogressions.com/alexisbio.php">Alexis Sklarevski</a> 's Slep bass program is the best to leran slep technic.<br /><a href="http://www.victorwooten.com/">victor wooten</a><br /><a href="http://www.marcusmiller.com/index.html">Macus Miller </a><br /><a href="http://www.stuarthamm.net">Stuart Hamm</a><br />that you can copy or get technic from his.<br />You can download lesson in slap bass thus link below<br /><br /><a href="http://www.berkleeshares.com/download/760338/berklee_basic_slapping_bass.pdf">http://www.berkleeshares.com/download/760338/berklee_basic_slapping_bass.pdf</a> </span>Bass Centralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05763218353740023206noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30906254.post-1152681188041533412006-07-11T21:38:00.000-07:002006-07-15T11:09:51.896-07:00Stu Hamm's Machine-Gun Techniques.I would like to present the Stuart Hamm Slap's Technic in Machine Gun Style.<br /><br /><strong>Tab Symbo</strong><br />T = Thumb or Slap<br />P = Pop<br />X = Ghost Note<br /><br /><a href="http://www.geocities.com/nicorus_bass/tipplenote.wma"><strong><span style="color:#990000;">Listen to exercise sound click here</span></strong></a><br /><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Exercise 1.</span></em><br /><br /><p>Use tripple note playing , X symbo is use hand to mute string.</p><p></p><p><img src="http://www.freewebtown.com/nicorus/Image11.gif" /></p><p><span class="fullpost"></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:0;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;">Exercise 2.</span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">step 1.

First, we can start with the basics (or bass-ics, if you're a fan of crappy puns--such as yours truly):<br /><br />One way to start a bass line is to play the root of the chords in a progression. For example over a progression such as<br /><br />Bm7 E7 C#m7 F#7<br /><br />Your bass line could simply be:<br /><br />G------------------------------------<br />D----------2-2-2-2-------------------<br />A-2-2-2-2-----------4-4-4-4----------<br />E----------------------------2-2-2-2-<br /><br />Another method is to alternate between the root and the fifth, which would give you a bass line like this:<br /><br />G------------------------------------<br />D----------2---2---------------------<br />A-2---2------2---2--4---4------4---4-<br />E---2---2-------------4---4--2---2---<br /><br />Notice that to get to the fifth, you can just play the note on the adjacent higher string two frets up, or on the adjacent lower string on the same fret.<br /><br />Also, in the major scale on the seventh degree and in the minor scale on the second degree, going down a fifth will bring you to a note that's not in the scale, so watch out for that.<br /><br />Another way to play a bass line is to arpeggiate the chord you're playing over, which would give you a bass line like this:<br /><br />G-------2------4-7--------4----------<br />D-----4----2-6----------6----4-----2-<br />A-2-5---------------4-7--------1-4---<br />E------------------------------------<br /><br />Note: to do this, you need to know a bit of music theory, namely being able to spell the notes in a seventh chord of any tonality based off any root.<br /><br />Now, that's still pretty vanilla, so you could add some non-harmonic (notes not in the chord you're playing over) tones:<br /><br />G------------1-4--------1-0----------<br />D-----4-3--2-----0----2------4-------<br />A-2-5---------------4------------0-1-<br />E------------------------------4-----<br /><br />Notice that I left out the seventh degree in some of the chords in order to add a passing tone. It's fine to leave out the seventh, because the guitar will definitely have it covered. Also notice that I changed the last chord. That was to make a chromatic lead up to the root, which is pretty hip.<br /><br />This is just the beginning of what you can do with bass lines. There are many types of non-harmonic tones that you can choose to employ, such as:<br /><br /><br /><ol><li>Passing tones - a note that is approached by a step and leaves by a step in the same direction. They can either be on the beat or between beats.</li><li><br />Neighboring tones - a note that leaves and returns to the same chord tone by a step.</li><li><br />Suspensions - a note that is held over from the last chord that resolves down a step in the next chord. The two types are 9/8 suspensions and 4/3 suspensions. In a 9/8 suspension, the note that is held over functions as the ninth (same as second) in the chord, and resolves down a step to the root of a chord. In a 4/3 suspension, the note that is held over functions as the fourth in the chord, and resolves down a step to the third of a chord.<br /></li><li>Anticipations - a note in the next chord that arrives before the next chord itself does.<br /></li><li>Pedal tones - a single note that is played over an entire progression.<br /></li><li>Appoggiaturas - a note that is approached by leap and resolves to a chord tone by step.<br />Escape tones - a note that is approached by step and resolved to a chord tone by leap. Basically, the opposite of an appoggiatura.</li></ol></span>Bass Centralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05763218353740023206noreply@blogger.com0
