In this video I demonstrate how to play the slap bass line that opens 'Nobody Weird Like Me', by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You’ll find this track on the 1989 album Mother’s Milk.

This awesome slap part from Flea was one of my favourite lines when I was learning to play, and it's a great example of a slap part that's easier to play than it might seem! I used a Music Man Sterling SUB bass for this lesson.
