Sean Fairchild Launches “Modern Bass Applications” Lesson Series

Sean Fairchild

Although some extended techniques have been around for quite some time, the use of more intricate approaches has become more prevalent in modern music. That’s why bassist and educator Sean Fairchild has launched a new series of in-depth video lessons called “Modern Bass Applications.”

Fairchild, aka Combinator, has released the first of the series with “Beginner to Advanced Double Thumbing and Quad Slap Technique” featuring 45 minutes of instruction in an intimate, private lesson style format. The bassist begins with explaining the basic mechanics of the rest stroke-style slapping and extrapolates into more advanced thumb and multi-finger combinations to give you ultimate right hand control.

Get a taste of the material with this trailer for the lesson:

“Modern Bass Applications: Double Thumbing and Quad Slap Technique” is available now through Fairchild’s website for $44.99. And if you want to see how he incorporates it himself, check out the video for “Things That Should Be”:
