Most people play the bass, I like to SLAP the bass!
Slap That Bass! by Slick Joe Fick Out Now
► Check out this two-minute video to hear Joe’s tour through the history of slap bass!
THE STORY OF THIS VIDEO:
Nashville-based Slick Joe Fick is obsessed with slap bass and has an encyclopedic knowledge of its history and techniques. At the end of our session filming lessons with Joe, I thought I would put him to the test by asking him to do something without any warning. The idea was to showcase Joe’s favourite slap bass techniques and players in just two minutes. Joe was completely unprepared, but absolutely nailed it! Playing bass can be hard enough, but to give a 2-minute history whilst talking and playing happening at the same time, is really something special.
Of course, there are numerous notable slap bass artists that we missed in the video, but we hope you enjoy learning about a few of Joe’s favourite bassists and hearing his incredible playing!
