Carlos Carrillo29th March 2008nice lesson Muris!!!!
- Muris Varajic6th February 2008
Way to go,keep it up
seagull6th February 2008Well, seems a new pair of strings and some compressor did the trick, I'm slapping the fence now.
- Muris Varajic6th January 2008
Action on my guitar is "normal" I would say,nothing extreme indeed.
And yeah,I slap string on last few frets,
making it to touch fretboard. - seagull6th January 2008
Thanks, I will try that! And btw, fabulous lesson!
But does your guitar have a high action? I.e: are the strings "far" away from the fretboard?
And do you slap on the string only or on the string on the end of the fretboard? - Muris Varajic6th January 2008
Nope,it was Alex but still Mac,yeah
And few words about my tone here.
I used middle pickup for this one
it's Stan Hinesley LaGrange
and I added some compressor too,well needed.
Perhaps your pickup isn't that high output
so try to add more gain/volume,if you're using amp? 
Eat-Sleep-andJam6th January 2008To Cool ! Didnt try it yet but it looks interesting
The Microsoft Sam thing said your name was Maury didnt he
- seagull6th January 2008
Am I the only one having troubles getting enough sound of of the slaps?
I have an american Strat and am using the neck PU, but the notes ring dead and not with very high output. Any suggestions? - Muris Varajic6th January 2008
If that's what you wish than I might give it a shot
Capn' Jef6th January 2008Great integration on the bass fundamentals. I don't use it much on guitar, but it's definitely interesting.
Any plans for trying out more complex thumbing on guitar?- Muris Varajic5th January 2008

Hello GMC! This is my first lesson in New 2008. So I wanted to give you something new, different AND maybe funny a bit. :)
It's Guitar Slap Lesson. This technique is common for Bass guitar but many guitar players use it on guitar so I tried it as well.
There are 2 main "moves" in here, SLAP which is use of thumb and POPPING with index finger.
It's bit tricky to do all Pops nicely cause distance between strings on el. guitar is not that wide as on bass guitar but anyhow, try it, it's fun indeed.:)
Groove is some sort of Shuffle Funk, tempo is 105bmp and it's in E Minor key but I used E Dorian, to be exact.
Let me know if you need any help and SLAP your axe!:)
