    I respect your work... But there is one correction in the slapping technique... When your slapping,you have to slap near the 24th fret... It gives you that sound of the slap,like 30% harmonic and 70% tone,that gives the slap that kind of sound... Or near the one of the pickups,that gives you the greasier sound,but to me it's kinda ugly...:P It isn't all in hitting the wires.. Just don't want hundreds of people learning it the wrong way... Respect

    It is nice to hear you play what you play and your good at it, but you don't teach anything! It's all about playing for you.
