Ok but can we appreciate how curved Larry Graham’s slapping thumb is
Is having a curved slapping thumb a good thing?
Appreciated
@@aaronf2467 does it have any advantages for slapping or benefits?
Hitchhiker's thumb.
@@caseyhamm4292Realy ? Man I have Hitchhikers thumbs I’m so lucky !
✨BEHS✨
cool 😎
Love the way CZcams says: "translate to English" 😂
@@cjstato what does it translate to?
@@pancakeguy1it doesn't change it at all, disappointingly so. BEHS.😂
...as we know it todeh..
The story behind the invention of slap was actually when the drummer didn't show up at a performance, causing Larry to use a new percussive technique in the place of him.
I heard that he invented slap when he use to play music with his mom. She was on piano and he was on bass. They had no drummer so he decided to play percussion with his bass.
@@OGEdgerthat's what i heard too
Thats the real story
I Heard an Interview with Larry explaining This.
@@OGEdgeryes!
Worth noting that Larry Graham is Drake’s uncle
Ohhhhhh cool to know!
Wow, music history!
Which proves talent doesn't always run in the family
@@symbiosisaiouch
@@symbiosisailmao
Drake is the kinda guy who's uncle would smack the goofy out a bass for the first time.
This has nothing to do with drake the fuck
That’s so tight bruh

I can't explain it but this guy seems like in a video game he'd be a secondary character. Like an ally that follows you around the map
I tgink it may be the voice
😆 I get it
Bard skill trainer
Well yea he’s a bassist
I'm too high for this comment 😅
>slap bass technique for electric bass was first recorded in 1969
É P I C O
Nice
Slap the bass if you liked it
slap like now
The year the US gov't filmed a fake moon landing and convinced millions of people that we are ahead of the nazis
nice
1) Larry calls it Thumpin' and Pluckin'
2) The first "slap" ("Thumpin") song was Sly and the Family Stone's 1st hit, "Dance To The Music"
3) The first "Slap and Pop" (Thumpin' and Pluckin') tune "thank you falletinme be mice elf agin"
Yes we watched the video
slap bass makes grooves instantly funky
Heck yeah, gimme that sweet FUNK
It's wild that Larry Grahm is Drake's uncle.
No, Drake is Larry Graham's nephew
Larry is also an excellent vocalist. He's the definition of music.
Btw Larry Graham is Drake's uncle
Dang you beat me to it
wtffffff crazyyyy
yeah his dad was also a drummer for pretty famous musicians
@@kashoutlenoxIt makes his absolute lack of talent all the more bizarre
Ok.. but can DRAK thump the bass get tar!
Ok but the upright is FIRE 🔥
still used in some bands to excellent effect
Larry's a Legend.
BEHS
great video!
All the slap greats, Mark King, Bootsy, Flea, Marcus Miller... They all point to Larry Graham as the inventor of slapping and popping electric bass 🙏🙏
Les Claypool
1969 was just the perfect year for this
It is pretty nice
📌My cousin; and one of my grandfather's first cousins. RIP Grandpa "Boochie" Graham.🌹✌🏽
First time I heard this song was in Skate (2 or 3) and remembered how funky it sounded. The bassline was legendary
It's was skate 2 and yeah that where I heard it
@bluspringtrap9396 masterpiece!
Wow, you guys are young.
I got my first bass !
nice
He called it "thumpin' and pluckin'"
and thus jerry seinfeld is born
Conceived
Of course slap bass was invented in '69
👋🍑👋 lol
Larry isn't just special because he popularized slapping, but he was really fantastic at it. The "Hair" riff is just insanity.
Thank you for reminding me to listen to some roots funk music. Feels so damn good!
Thank you fo lettin’ me be myself again.
Actually, it was Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
"Thank you for letting me be myself, again." Yessss!

Larry Graham was the bassist in Sly and the Family Stone. And I lived for Graham Central Station in the seventies.
Love that double bass slap sound no cap
That did look like it might have been a double bass but that style is more commonly played on the tololoche which is slightly smaller than the English double bass. The real kick is it the tololoche uses fat nylon Spanish strings that make the tone a little softer and the slap a little harder. Definitely CZcams tololoche. If you liked the bad here you will love tololoche.
Imagine being the first guy to do a technique that would become a definitive style? Amazing really.
love it... on the one, bro
I've loved this song for years, but didn't know it was the first song that introduced slapping. Such a cool thing to learn
You have very clean technique with your fingers, thumb, a pick, and while your slapping! Much respect from my end!
Pick tone>
Larry Graham we thank you for being yo self, as we "dance to the music" of Sly and the family Stone.
'Thump Bass' People !!!
And another pioneer of music which many have no idea of whom they are copying. From Sly and the Family Stone to Graham Central Station.Larry Graham forever
My grandma taught Larry how to slap a da Bass in 1968 🤩
You wish.
("Sgt.J."). Ha, Ha! Bootsie is athat you? I, Recognize Those Sun Glasses. So, You in Drag Pretending to be Your Grandma..? Lol.🍻✌️🕊️
Black people have invented everything good in music since the beginning. Love it!
Untrue and racist.
@@Helgrimr nobody started a race war but you since I didn't say anything depicting about any other race, but here you come to the rescue for white/western culture when nobody said anything bad about it. I just stated my opinion, and Im not even black, Im a latino with european heritage too.
pedal steel guitar is one of the best inventions, criminally underrated.
Thank you for saying this. Many of us have been announcing this, but some people try to shut us up or say it's a lie.
I have been echoing your sentiments, especially whenever I see discrimination against Black artists.
You're a real one. Stay blessed.
when will people stop categorizing others as black, white, latino or whatever? god thats so dumb...
Well I'm early great video as always 🎉
hi early I'm dad
that pick sounds good!
"Slap bass sounded like this"
Actually kinda went hard tbh
E P I C
I still don’t understand one thing guys: Is the slap bass technique literally just hitting the strings with your thumb?
Yes basically having a slap fight with your string
Kinda, for your thumb you move your wrist to where your thumb hits through the string and you pluck with your fingers
And now I have some opening to a Paul Simon ditty in my head for some reason!! 😂😂😂
My inner Primus comes out anytime I hear slap bass
the BEHS mahrines
I love that song, I didn’t know it was the first slap bass, not only the first but one of the best, definitely the funkiest!
The “Beh-Ace”
yeah that is an African style used in Gambar ( instrument like a modern bass)
gambar is an African instrument? which is an African style?
Yup, he was well equipped.......if only I was alive back then my panties would have been on the stage! 😂..... That's right ladies it ain't the shoe size but the thumb 👍🏼 ...Yeah I went THERE.... Lighten up! 🎸❤🎸😁
Sounds like every American comedy show from the 80's and 90's
Thieves
Larry Graham, such a talented musician. His bass chops and feel are stunning and he also has a great singing voice.
SLAPP BEHS 🤙🏾
There is an 80's video of Larry doing a tutorial, called something like "Right Hand Slap Bass Technique". Man, I can watch the first 30 seconds of that over and over! Cool stuff...true pioneer!
This is really interesting thanks!
Now the upright slap bass is a staple in Mexican music
Definitely.
Graham was one of the greats. I saw him with his band Graham Central Station in '75 at the Crater Festival in Honolulu. He also pioneered the use of the voice box while he was with Sly and the Family Stone.
Nice Dude!
Larry’s thumb goes through the string, he doesn’t “slap” - he “thumps”- his own words
Another fun fact Larry Graham is a Jehovah’s Witness and is the person who converted Prince to become one
wait, prince became a Jehovah witness??? didnt know that :0
Doesn't surpise me, apparently even religion couldn't save Prince from his drug addiction, still hella talented and gifted dudes 🤣
@@ithan0404yes, Prince and Larry even went door to door handing out booklets. No joke.
🔥
I have one of those red japanese epiphones with humbuckers!
Sweet
Larry is a legend! I saw him open for Prince and he was mind-blowingly good.
Hot diggity, that sounds so good. 🤌
That riff is totally badass. I wonder if the bassline for "Superstition" could be improvised to something inspired by this.
I Love Your Work here Pal, Keep up the Great work, You did me and Everybody Proud, keep it up fr.❤️😎
Cool asf
New Count Day #210 of BEHgging for Necrobutcher's BEHS tone
funky bro
That line from Thank U is just as fresh as ever.
Graham's wasn't the first. However as a style, he popularized the technique so he truly deserves the title of the pioneer of slap bass.
So who was it then
Thowin' that thumb!!! Lol awesome
Damn! You play soooooo clean😊
Danny: Slap bass Captions: slap bear 😂
He was the King of the slap
Very cool history!!
I really thought behs was its own thing💀
BASS❌
BEHS✅
You make it sound as though upright basses are extinct.
Sounds so funky! I’ve always played with a pick and can’t even play with fingers but I’m by no means good
Thanks for this impulse, it lead me into new musical spheres! ❤
The forbidden rule, using a pic you did it now the bass fans are coming for you
AHHHHH
I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR LETTIN ME
BE MYSELF
AGAIN
Jake the overwhelming time pressure
God the slap on the double bass sounds so good
a lot of corridos artists use slapping on an upright bass instead of having a drummer. very unique sound
I love playing BEHS
Slapa bass.
I want to thank you for letting me be myself
Man, I love funk
I play with my thumb I feel recognized for once
He is so nice men ..... thanks to him (a lot!)
you're right, it's in history of plucking/picking on music piece of playing.
Toquese un corrido con tololoche, viejón
love the magazine cover of that song too
Thankyoufolettinmebemyselfagain!😊........RIPLG!
The upright slap bass was used in Johnny Cash's early songs he recorded at Sun Records. The original Folsom Prison Blues is my favorite of his and the slap bass as the beat was one of the main reasons why.
YES and it sounded awesome. Slap upright is making a comeback in regional Mexican music (deceptive genre name as most of it is recorded in the US). But they use what's called a tololoche. It's like an English double bass but smaller, probably for Spanish orchestras. It has nylon strings and has a little softer fuller tone when plucked and a SERIOUS slap
Nice🎼🎼🎵🎶🔥
For some reason when he played that Larry Graham, I was getting ready to start looking for the song it sound good
Larry was the EVH of bass
His accent makes it even worth watching
No way. I loved this song in skate 2 for a reason huh. I just knew that bass line was legendary from the start. Never knew how much so.
Sit you're mistaken, thats clearly a picture of one of the Wayans brothers getting ready for a new role.
