Did anything I tell you make a difference ?

Slap, Yeah, But I'm having trouble acctauly making a sound when i wack the string. This is what i do, I put the joint of my thumb on the string, just below the first fret and wack it, and let my thumb bounce, But it doesn't make any sound, well it does, not like a normal slap, like a of sound. With pop i use my index and middle finger and lift up the string, and it makes a twack sound, So i've been experimenting with some scales and adding some pops here and there.

i use to suffer from insomnia when i was younger, now i sleep a good 8 hrs every day...i hope it passes for all of u like it did for me!

Trying to sleep kills me, I just can't stand it. I close my eyes and lay in bed for hours and no results, I just let my body get to the point where it has to sleep.

lucky me, I can use the computer all week, unlike you, monday, wednesday, friday, saturday and sunday.

Thats normal. Your thumb doesn't know what to do. Just keep at it and you will develop a great sound. Its not easy and a lot of people sound bad when they slap but this technique produces the best sound (Imo)

(Imo)

Whats that mean?

 

[Rakie]

in my opinion.
