Slaps Bass For Beginners
Bass Lessons

Hey I wrote this tab to help people who are learning slaps bass. 
I did really right this
I wrote it again because my other good account and all my tabs 
got deleted somehow. 
I changed a few things and added a few more exercises in. I did 
NOT copy this
from a book its just set up like one. Play the first bar twice then 
the second
twice. Feel free to play around with the timing

Slaps bass is using your right thumb (if left handed then left) to 
'slap' the strings. To slap use your right thumb to hit the string. 
Try and do this close 
to the fretboard. Twist your wrist and release the thumb after 
contact with the string.
This is one of the methods used to play slap bass. Do not hit
the string with force, it will only make background noises and wont
have a clear sound. Make sure that your slapping is accurate 
and firm.
Slapping is represented with an 'S' or a 'T'
