This week we’re going to look at a little more Les Claypool and a tune that completely baffled me as a young bass player. I’m obviously talking about that insane bass riff from Is It Luck?
‘Is It Luck?’ Bass Riff – Primus (Les Claypool)
T = Slap (Thumb) P = Pop H = Hammer On
This was a huge help for me. I have the sailing the seas of cheese book but the way you broke it down into parts really helped to get the pattern down. Now I find the hardest part is to keep in time with the drums.
Nice lesson Mark. Are you familiar with Shakatak? Their song I lose Myself would be a great slap tutorial.
Bro I just looked up this band and I was like wtf is this? so I clicked a random song and holy shit this is one of the grooviest things I’ve ever heard
