Bass Lessons
Slapping Master of Puppets

When I learned to play Metallica's Master of Puppets on guitar,
I was psyched because
I thought It was so cool. Then when I started playing bass instead
of guitar, I
wanted to be able to carry that over, but it didn't sound as cool
just playing regular,
so I wondered what it would sound like slapping. With alot of
practice I "master'd",[PUN],
the two main intro riffs while slapping. It sounds so cool when
you finally get it.

G[-9~-7-6-5~-]
D[-9~-7-6-5~-]
A[-7~-5-4-3~-]

Thats it, I know a little bit more but its not as fun as these two
riffs. It seems
really hard at first but keep practicing it. It sounds so sweet.

The notes are right but its easier to pop if you put the 7 and the 6 into aa 2 and a 1 on a higher string.
