    Just saw a video from Victor Wooten describing 2 hand tapping bass, was blown away and want to give it a go... Anyone know any good resources for picking up this technique?

    For those of you that don't know its like playing bass chords above the 12th fret only dropping the root note down an octave...

    Tappa tappa tappa!

    Check out Stu Hamm, he put out a solo album in the early 90's on which he has a country style tune which is pretty easy, he also did a cover of Moonlight Sonata which, again, is pretty easy using that technique. If it's something you want to work on they're a good place to start.

    Primus too, would be worth your consideration.

    Taking time to set your action right at both nut and bridge helps
