Yeah, for me, technique was the big thing keeping me from getting a good slap tone.

I have been watching tons of videos on this topic on last a few months because I have been seen some players on YT not hitting vertically on the strings. But skimming in an angle and landing on the next string below… Might be also good for silencing that other string that you land on…

Marcelo here explains why and how very well.

Josh in the 13th module was suggesting to slap the higher two strings simply harder…

What is the general take on this?
