- Bogdan Radovic12th October 2009could all the techniques shown apply to gutiar slapping? i saw some instructors use it but i cant make it work for me
Very good question!
Answer is YES! Slapping on guitar is essentially the same technique transferred from bass. Thumping is the same (remember to bounce off!), popping is the same and you can also do the left hand slap on guitar which sounds pretty much the same as on bass. Also other more advanced slap techniques like double thump etc apply on guitar too. Only difference is that it may be a little harder to adapt technique to guitar because of smaller strings and spaces between them but you can get used to it. I would recommend you to go through this lesson and to try to apply same slap bass licks on guitar. Let me know if you need any help!
Thanks everyone for your feedback!

Gabriel Leopardi12th October 2009Great tutorial Bogdan! I've always wanted to play slap bass like Flea.
mhskeide12th October 2009Yeah, great Bogdan!
Even though I "know some" slapping technique, I think I`m going to start all over with this lesson and learn it properly
Sensible Jones12th October 2009Very well put together lesson Bogdan!! Great stuff!
NoSkill12th October 2009Very well done, Bogdan. In most of my searching and watching of slap and pop technique on the bass, instructors tend to say, "Do this." They don't really give an explanation, or example of how. This is a very well constructed and demonstrated lesson on this technique. Thanks for taking the time to produce it!
kaznie_NL12th October 2009Waah... Awesome! I really like the way of teaching!
