Carl Shepard going a little bit further with the slap technique, we are going to be doing the same octave formation, but this time I am going to add a double slap and then a single pop. So the double slap gives you the same effect as using alternate fingering except you are using the thumb the whole time and when you slap you want your thumb to go all the way through instead of bounce off, some guys like to bounce off when you through, it gives you a little bit more of a faster thumb.
