Slap Bass: The Ultimate Guide Review

If all instruction material was as solid as this, I would have 50-100 books/DVDs in all (for bass, guitar, mandolin), not a 1000 or more.

There is enough easily usable information here to build your technique from scratch to as serviceable as any normal contemporary bass player's slap technique needs to be in typical playing situations. Only if you play in a solo or a bass-dominant musical context, would you need anything more.

Of course, once you fall in love with the possibilities of playing slap & pop (and tap etc.), you WILL need more. At that point you should get Stuart Clayton's ULTIMATE SLAP BASS, which actually is as complete a guide on any style on any instrument ever written (I otter know, coz I've invested more money in instruction material than any other human). Still, Clayton's book might be overwhelming because of its thoroughness; Ed's DVD has the essentials and intermediate stuff, but there's a load of them in here and the booklet is generous by DVD standards.

The only 3rd slap instruction you will perhaps need is the Hal Leonard book FUNK BASS by Chris Kringel as that gives you some real famous songs to learn. Of course, you can later progress to Victor Wooten's and Primus's transcriptions. In any case, for less than 20 buckaroos, this DVD provides the maximum wham for the whampum!

Not considered: Double thumbing, chord playing, and strumming. Of course, no tapping either; although in performance at a high level, tapping is often interspersed into slap technique.
