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
What's the metronome app you used?
I love how effortlessly you are hitting the bass , I look like a jockey whipping a horse nearing the finishing line .
I have good music content check me out

@@sebastianfors4491 lol! I never did win no checkered flag, but I never did come in last ;)
Good lesson. I appreciate your bare bones approach and not showboating like a lot of other cats. 👍🏽
I’m a beginner bassist, coming from playing guitar my whole life, and i gotta say this lesson was so freaking helpful and fun! Most videos out there aren’t as good as this and this helped me out so much! Thank you!
Dude.... you’re exactly where I am. Having played guitar so long I feel like I understand the “musical” aspect of this stuff but I have no technique for bass. I can play with a pick but I sound like a guitar player playing bass. Great video
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!
Why am I just finding out about this guy now? One of the more helpful bass lessons I've come across.
Great beginner gig, with no showboating...good job!
2:40 minutes in and I’m singing the Ducktales theme song.
Thank goodness, I'm not the only one.
Thank you. Now I can't unhear it :)
Mr. Bennett. I really appreciate all of these lessons. I wish I could meet you to shake your hand and say thank you personally. These lessons have really helped me develop my skills.
Clearest simplest one yet . No bs. No clutter talking and filler. Ty
Wow man...you made this sound cool! Its like funk...playing like that always impresses anyone.
Getting a new bass after years of being without one. So glad I found your channel, you've helped me reawaken an old passion of mine. Thank you so much!
Finally a video for us Beginners...
Great video...
Greetings from Switzerland !!
Thank you Sir. That's great
Great video bruh! Love your teaching style!💯
Excellent lesson! ...I'm a guitarist and just got my first bass.
Excellent. Thanks, man.
So, so happy I found your channel. I love that you get to the point and don't take forever to give a lesson. Great teaching style and so helpful
Have played off and on for years, primarily by ear. Now that Im retired, I have time to actually learn what I'm doing. Lol
Thanks again
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 🖖
You make it so simple to learn this, I appreciate ur knowledge
Thank you good lesson
Awesome lesson !!! Thanks Daric !!! 🎸🇫🇷🌎☯️

Been looking for a teacher like you. Very comprehensive and practical. Gonna be sticking around. Thank you
I’ve been playing the bass for a few years now. But I’m quite surprised at how difficult the techniques really are!! But these exercises seem like a pretty good way to get started. Simple and straight forward. I’ll definitely give them a try. THANKS FOR SHARING! 👍😎👍
Very instructional video. I will have to come back when I have more time. Thank you.
Greetings from Spain. I think this lesson is very useful. It gets to the point and there is not ego involved. The slap is my weak point and this video has proved to be fantastic in order to strengthen my playing . Thanks.
I appreciate this so much

Really great lesson! I like that you really stayed with the technique..I'm trying to learn slap, watched a bunch of videos and it seems like you're the first one to really stick with the technique consistently. Super job and thank you!
This helped me out a lot thanks really never knew how to slap bass
Awesome lesson. Thank you so much.. you make this seem very attainable
Thank you Daric, I’ve got the techniques, now I’m needing to apply them to drum loops. Or a metronome. This seems to be the best video for where I’m at. Love your teaching style. And of course your playing is stellar .

Really Helpful ❤
Wow!! Good!! From Guatemala!!!
Great man
Amazing video man! 🫶🏻
Great video. Thanks for the tips. my main issues arise from popping going from the bottom to the top, and also going from plucking to popping. I'll have to try the exercises
Cheers mate thnx for the lessons GOD BLESS
Spot on! Thanks man
Merci beaucoup.
This vid is invaluable thank you so much, beautiful tone on your bass also
Thanks for sharing
The exercices will be very helpful. I never find how to learn slowly to slap. Thank you!
Dude, this has really helped me. You are a good teacher. Please keep making videos. Subscribed 😊🙏
Alot of help
I like ur lessons sir.. You make things easier and I have improved faster watching you.. Bless you
Thank you so much man, you are an actual life-saver. Even though I'd been playing for just on two years and I could barely slap. I finally got it down and thumb pluck technique sky-rocketed after using these exercises.
THANK YOU!
You are a Beast!
Thanks for the lesson!
I have good music content check me out
thankssss from Brazil
Awesome
This is good stuff.
I subscribed 50 seconds into this video. Thank you so much my brother.
Thank you
This is awesome! Thanks!👌🏼😎🎶
Thanks thanks thanks!!
Wow man ur vids have helped me a lot !! Keep up the great work!👍
I really like this. I feel like a lot of tutorials/ lessons skip these basics.
Can’t forget about the basics!
Bro buzzing with the tutorial I play guitar but been playing bass a few years n this is helpful 😎
Subscribed! Your teaching is very clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much for taking the time to make videos like this. This really helps developing slapping muscle memory that much easier!
Welcome aboard!
Good lesson, and I found Soundbrenner. Killer app. Being able to to subdivide and add rests is really going to help with my sight reading.
Wow! The simplest and best slap/thump lesson I've come across. Thanks for posting. P.S. Nice hat!
I'm a former classical guitarist & just recently picked up a bass. I like your approach, exercises are well balanced for me. Cheers
I like your bass lesson
this has been the best slap course I've seen on CZcams for beginners. is there another lesson?
I like that you aren’t showing off, Billy Sheehan had a vid out that his slow was still way to fast for the average players, maybe he didn’t mean to do that but it was off putting, yours is right to the heart of the matter..thank you!
I need to practice the 5th exercise. Also, a good book to play bass slap is Stuart Clayton’s Ultimate Slapbook, very fun!!!
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
