Hi David,

 

My question involves the slap attack on pairs of eighth notes, specifically in the LOA7 test example 5.2

As I listen,  think I am hearing you slap only the first note in each pair.  Is that correct?

 

Thanks,

-Steve

Hello Steve. This example is

Hello Steve. This example is from Accompaniment Study 7 - Bass Lines (http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/accompaniment_study_7) and I play it in the "Examples 5.2 through 5.8 - Bass Lines with Flat-7ths" At 3:15 you'll hear me using slaps on all of the notes except the lower root note.
