Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

The way you not only changed the note but the sound. Is awesome. Im a metalhead. Never was into funk R&B or music that had amazing bass lines.

I've been trying to get slapping down. However, the best I can do is Fieldly from Korn and sound like the album. However, he doesn't play conventionally.

If slap is your goal, I'd suggest trying to think of the bass as a percussion instrument. With that, in time, you'll get more accurate with the fingering.

In most cases, I'd suggest slowing it down with a metronome and then building speed gradually. This time, I'd say get the tempo and worry about the exact fingering a bit later.

Honestly. Thats what finally got me to Korn slapping. Earley Korn is really rythmic for the bass. Only you just hear the stringes banging around beacuse fieldly plays a 5-string tuned 1 step lower. In A. He does thumb up, which works for me. My problem is not the rhythm part, but making the slapping consistent. Then moving away from the E string. I can slap there but the rest of the strings no.

I just need to work moar. (at bass/guitar.)

Honestly the last 2 weeks or so I've been too busy to even play. I broke my rule of at least 5 min a day. My fingers could tell tho.

But for reals digged your bass, and tone. What bass btw?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it's a Fender P bass. That's what it sounds like to me. It also sounds like a four string. So, there's that...

I'm catching some Zzz's. I'll be back around tomorrow afternoon.
