 Slapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The slapping technique is used to achieve a percussive "popping" bass sound, which is one of the signature sounds of funk music.
Bassist Larry Graham is generally acknowledged as being the one who invented slapping and popping on the bass guitar while playing as a teenager with his mom who would play the piano.
In music, the term slapping is often used to refer to two different though related playing techniques on the double bass and on the (electric) bass guitar.

 Slapping and Popping 2
OK folks, practice the pop and mute and the octave slap and pop and we'll go further next time.
Once you feel comfortable with this pop - mute process, let's pop with a slap.
This sound will be quite percussive and if you're like me, the first time you get a good pop with the amp turned up, it will make you jump!

 CGR: Slap Bass & Other Techniques
The "Pop" is achieved by quickly pulling your G or D (usually) string with your fingertip, creating a percussive pop.
This is the sound you want as generally the slap rings and the pop is very staccato.
For example if you slapped an A on your E string (5th fret) you would pop the A on your D string (7th fret).

The next part will deal with the "pop", which as the term implies gives that "popping" sound that you hear in alot of jazz and funk.
Slap is almost a necessity in funk, and can open up lots of doors in soloing.
This is only a slight variation of standard finger picking technique, where you will accually be pulling the string away from the body of the guitar and releasing it to slap back against the lower frets of the fretboard.

The band has slight influences of 311 but with a heavier funk overcoat that doesn't limit itself to a reliance on slap and pop riffs, offshoots of ska and rapcore blossom within the music which has an almost ethnic quality as mindful harmonies erect themselves with care and precision.
Talented, yet innocent, the articulate bass playing generally seems to be the foundation of the songs and comes clean with confident experimentation adding an unexpected buoyancy to negate the somewhat serious lyrical content.
Light distortion and clean tones cut through the thick music with ska, funk and reggae influenced riffs keeping the pace up and eventually releasing tension with a gracefully distorted chord.

Posted - 12/16/2004 : 11:31:02 AM I heard Jaco play a slap solo in "The Chicken" once...It was just the main shape of the song, the main bassline, with some of that wacky improv he does.
You can't deny the funk grooves on those songs - and there ain't any slapping to be heard there.
For the record, I like slapping too, it was my gateway into the funk scene.
