      What about the red strap towards the end of the bass? What is it called and the purpose? You sound AMAZING!!!!

      I just started to learn slap and pop its really fun. Not there yet but Def cool to add to your arsenal. Are you using your index finger to pop or your ring finger? Or whatever you feel comfortable with. Thank you

      Same here, I got my 1st six string on my 10th b-day in 1977 LMFAO, I was always a blues, jazz, metal player, classical for 1 year at The Southwest School of Music when I was 20, now at 54 I am finally working on the bass and I loooove the 70's Soul & Funk. Daric is the best teacher that I have found on the web...Hands down!

    This video is a couple years old so I may've commented already hahaha
    Anyway, I'm 43 and I've been playing since I was a teenager and I gotta say: your videos really help sharpen up and solidify tons of rusty things and theyve shown how to break down seemingly impossible basslines into workable chunks.
    Good stuff man. Thank you, I sincerely appreciate your efforts. 🤘
    P.S.
    I have been clinically diagnosed with OCD and one of the ways it manifests is with meter and timing.
    So, from a medically neurotic person: your timing is *SUPER* clean hahaha 🖖

  • @travelingman9763
    @travelingman9763 Před 4 lety

    I' m a guitarist/trombonist but subscribed because i used to play electric bass in Jazz ensembles in Army bands and bands on the side at times. I patterned myself after Chuck Rainey and Verdine White (who rarely popped during those times) at that time. Surely I could have made lots more money sticking with bass but my Dad playing BB , Albert King records did it! I dig your teaching style
