In the previous part we went over the very basics of slap, so in this lesson we will go deeper into the style.
In this lesson we will get faster and learn how to slap and pop up and down the fretboard.
Remember take your time, and don't rush. For the music theory nerds this interval is Db, Ab, Gb, Db
If you can't play it fast, slow it down. We will begin playing on eighth notes, and get faster as
we go. This warm-up works on rhythm and range of motion in you fretting hand, use a metronome to keep time.
This warm up was written for Allegro (120 bpm), but can be play faster or slower as desired

Repeat that until it becomes muscle memory, because next we play sixteenth notes.
