Not too long ago, I realized that most bass instruction
was boring & very theory oriented....but, all I wanted
to do was play funky slap bass now.
This is where the FunkyChops method comes in. This slap bass
instruction was designed to be fun, informative... and most
of all, simple. With FunkyChops, you'll develop your
ear-playing skills while learning slap bass riffs.
Learning is done through
exposure, repetition & practice
Special tips designed to
help you learn new techniques
I created FunkyChops
so people could learn slap bass riffs without theory. It's kind
of like having a friend who plays slap bass. He or she plays
a riff, and you say ''Cool! Can you play that again slower?''
Sure... the FunkyChops video plays the riff slower and you
learn it by imitating. FunkyChops forces you to develop
your ''ear-training'' abilities.
Benefit of Learning-by-Ear
Arguably, good ear-trained hearing ability is the most valuable
asset as a musician. You have to ''hear well'' to be creative
in what notes you do or don't play. I fully believe
that hearing ability is directly related to your playing potential.
Beginning bass players, this is my tip for you: develop your
''ear-playing'' abilities. Bass pros, I'm sure you'll agree
through the wisdom of your experience that this is true.
