Here's a little tutorial of sorts on rockabilly slap bass techniques. I'm not the greatest player by any means, my only hope is to pass on some knowledge and maybe help some folks who are new to the instrument. Enjoy.

You said a couple of times that “you’re not an authority”. Don’t underestimate yourself! You showed command of the instrument and easy-to-follow instructions of the basic techniques. Well done and thanks for taking the time to make the Vid!!

Man, I learned more from watching this than I have in the past 12 months of researching and reading. VERY WELL DONE! A sincere thank you.

Wow, I just realised you slap down with the whole hand, but are doing the pluck with just one finger. Thats really interesting technique

Just wanted to add my thanks as well for this introductory lesson. I have only been playing upright for about 4 months and have been learning from this video and a handful of others on YouTube (e.g. Beg to the Roots). Very well done.

To add to your triplets... drag triplet hit the string with your open palm slide to your hand slap then pluck. Trample beat.. do a standard triplet slap but make a circle motion so your two slaps are on different areas of the finger board. Look into romba beats, and nova beats. Then get ready for quad slaps

Iv played so much Iv had to either tape my fingers or use a golfers glove. Those metal strings will pull the hide off ur fingers with prolonged playing.
