slapping into bent notes
Thu, 10/30/2014 - 03:40
Hi.
In one of your bending lessons, you covered the technique of slapping into a bent note. But I recall that, in your answer to one of my questions, you said there are certain bent notes (like 3" if my memory serves me well) that you don't generally use a slap on. Since I don't want to spent lots of time working on things that are not ususally done, could you please tell me which bent notes you use slaps on?
Thanks!
Hey unbar. Keep in mind that context can change everything, but generally speaking, the 3' is the most common. From there, the 6', 4' and from there 3" probably are the next most common. If you're playing a shuffle, slaps are much more common than other grooves by the way.
