Get ready for the Pull-Slap (Part 5 - Slap & Pull)
Tue, 06/28/2011 - 08:10
It's now time to use these techniques right next to each other (we're not talking about the Pull-Slap yet... we're getting there!).
Take a look at the lesson Tongue Block Study 3... open the PDF for the lesson... look at Example 1.1. Slap the 4+, then pull, then slap the 4+, then pull, etc. In this exercise slaps are on the downbeat and pulls are on the upbeat.
I want you to think, in detail, what your tongue is doing for this exercise. Be aware of when it's off, and when it's on. When it's on, how many holes are being covered for each technique (the slap and pull)? Where is the tongue in transition from technique to technique? Give this a try... more tomorrow.
