Slap Bass Songs?

[HeadbangHaily]

I'm a relatively newish bassist, and truthfully, I'm god awful at slap. Can anybody recommend some good slap bass songs for me to learn? Can't be TOO compex, but i still like a bit of a challenge.

You should get yourself a girlfriend, and practice bitchslap errday.

listen to some old red hot chilli peppers

I want to learn slap style. So far all I can do is pluck a string so it makes that funk sound. I can't get slapping down.

You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon.

Especially listen to 3:44 in the song, one of the shortest but best bass solos ever.

Just listen some of Flea's shit from Red Hot Chili Peppers, you'll be alright.

[Lost-Chances]

Check some Primus shit. It'll likely kick your arse though if you're new.

Listen to Primus. Les Claypool is the really slap-bass monster

try learning how do things on the bass more better such as speed plucking and the occasional pick. i too am a bassist but i didnt learn slap yet, im working on perfecting covers by plucking which is way to hard for the song im trying to do. just search on google easy slap bass songs or sumthin,

btw, are u good on ur bass?

[HibiscusKazeneko]

This.
It's one of the few examples I have that isn't synthesized.

SLAP BASS? i was one of the freaking leaders of the slap bass movement..

[miniskawhirl]

congrats on picking the best instrument...i LOVE my bass....i wud start with red hot chili peppers, theyre easy...then hatebreed, a bit more diffucult, the korn, even harder, then primus.....thats expert level!

[HungarianSupermarket]

The seinfeld theme song was the first thing I learnt when I got my bass.

DO ITTTT

[slayer1029]

Anything with Les Claypool. But likely, it will rape you. That dude is insane on the bass.

[HighWay]

I would firstly recommend listening to Bluegrass / Blues songs. Most of them have a slap-style bass. But if you're not into that stuff, just listen to some Red Hot Chili Peppers or anything that Les Claypool is in. (i.e. Primus)

Couldn't help myself.

I don't watch porn... But thank you.

The insane amounts of RHCP recommendations leads me to download some songs. I'll begin working on this soon. Thanks guys.
