Though this is often debated amongst lofty bass aficionados and historians, the invention of the slap bass technique is typically credited to bassists Larry Graham and Louis Johnson. Both bassists developed their unique style in the funk genre, which is centered around catchy percussive grooves. Graham famously developed this revolutionary technique by imitating the sound of a drumset before his band found a drummer. Over 40 years later, the slap bass technique has become a mandatory skill for serious bassists, and it’s found in everything from rock and metal to jazz and art music.

Slap bass is exactly what you think it is. By slapping the strings, bassists can get a distinct percussive sound they couldn’t have gotten by picking or plucking the strings. Also called “popping,” there are two ways to play the slapped bass technique: one is by slapping the string down with the bony ridge of your finger, and the other is to pluck the string so hard that it slaps against the body of the guitar to produce a smacking sound. This technique works for bass guitars as well as double bass instruments. The hard pulling of strings slap bass technique is frequently heard in the rockabilly and psychobilly genres.
