:shock: What is going on on the bass side?! That's AMAZING! Are you utilizing any "open" bass strings? I can't quite decipher the code.
The video stopped at 1:19, so I couldn't see the rest
Seriously, Kevin, this is very inspiring.
Thank you very much!
What's happening in the bass side is a technique I created that I call "Slap Tap". I use my right hand thumb to slap and pop the bass strings while the remaining right hand fingers play chords on the melody strings.
I don't use open strings which gives me the flexibility to "slap tap" thru any chord progression. The technique is a little difficult at first but like anything, the more you practice the easier it gets.
Being a bass player I wanted my bass lines to be punchy and powerful and this is one way that I've been able to achieve that on Stick.
Thank you for asking and thank you for watching my videos.
