This queston is an “ALL PLAY” anybody can answer. Does it matter if I playback through headphones “decent” Senheiser’s or practice amp (crappy) as far as developing my ear for my playing?

its called lesson cause he plays it slow afterwards, so you can train your ear and try to pick up the riff. Also the thumb over the fretboard isn’t bad form at all, its a technique that louis johnson started. where you also use your thumb to hold down a note, or slide on the e string.

Excellant playing and lesson. Dang Marlowe, you should remove that pickguard so we can see that nice relic sunburst.
Also his left hand …
Also his left hand is just basic hammer-ons and pull-offs with a little bit of vibrato mixed in. It truely is basic stuff but if you can do this….you can do almost anything. And you probably could play along with most of his other videos…
true……but ya …
true……but ya just gotta learn it on your own. Watch what he’s doing and follow along. Pause it rewind it and do it over and over and over until u start to sound like him. If you can play the above song, then you can do TONS of slap stuff. The above lesson is not for total beginers.
