Expanding the Slap Bass Vocabulary with Ray Riendeau – Groove #8…

Greetings all!

This months’ groove is based on G7. This might be a different for most of you as it does not even have any traditional thumb and pop techniques but instead uses left hand hammer ons and raking right hand techniques (see previous lessons) exclusively.This may take a bit to get used to but with a little practice it will become part of your vocabulary.

Slap on!

L = Left Hand

X = Percussive Note (notated on string being attacked)

RD = Rake Down (fanning your finger(s) in a downward motion across the

string(s)

RU = Rake Up (fanning your finger(s) in a Upward motion across string(s)
