Why I Made This Course

Most slap bass tutorials skip the details that actually matter: the tiny adjustments that make the difference between struggling for months and progressing in days.

I created this course to save you from the frustration I went through.

For example: I spent 3 months practicing Classical Thump for 3 hours a day, making almost no progress. Then I adjusted my thumb position slightly and made more progress in one practice session than the previous three months combined.

That moment changed everything. I realized inefficient technique wastes years of your time—and the right guidance can unlock it instantly.

The Slap Bass Blueprint gives you the shortcuts it took me a decade to discover, so you can build killer slap technique without the wasted effort.

Inside The Blueprint

Lesson 1 - Slaps

The first technique you need to master is the slap. This lesson shows you exactly how to use your thumb to get the most efficient and effective slap technique.

Lesson 2 - Slaps And Pops

Adding pops allows you to create much funkier bass lines. We’ll be focusing on slap and pop octaves, which are the foundation of many iconic slap bass lines.

Lesson 3 - Introducing Ghost Notes And Double Stops

Ghost notes are essential to mastering the rhythmic power of slap bass. We’ll also add double stops and intervals beyond the octave to widen your vocabulary.

Lesson 4 - The Slappening

Learn a funky bass solo to impress your friends and crystallize the techniques you learned in lessons 1-3.

Lesson 5 - Muting, Setup And Tone

I show you how to adjust your EQ, compression, amp settings, string action and more, and then reveal the five best ways to master muting.

Lesson 6 - Left-Hand Techniques

The simplest way to increase slap speed is actually to add left-hand articulations. Learn how to use left-hand slaps, different-string hammer-ons and more to reach lightning slap speeds.

Lesson 7 - Intro To Double-Thumb

Double-thumb doesn’t have to be hard. Through detailed demonstration and musical examples, you’ll be playing some funky double-thumb in no time.

Lesson 8 - Slaptastic

Learn a funky bass solo that will make you a master of the techniques learned in lessons 5-8!

Lesson 9 - Double-Thumbing Tricks

Master advanced and flashy double-thumb techniques like fast pentatonic runs, open-hammer-up and hammer-down-up. 

Lesson 10 - Double-Pops

The final piece of the puzzle. Double pops will unlock your ability to pop twice as fast, completing your slap bass toolkit.

Lesson 11 - License To Slap

This is it, the final challenge. If you can master this bass solo, you’ve officially completed the course and earned your License To Slap.
