A while back in a music shop near me, i was looking at a couple o guitars, and the frettless which im purchasing heheh , and it turns out the manager is a bass player, and so he we start talking then he pulled on of the rack thing, and just started going mental. Any one who likes RHCP or Primus and know what slap styles and combinations are would of loved to of seen this. nothing short of legendary, he started to slap the funk outa that thing. And its like seeing some one achieve such a high level of playing just motivated me so much to get into slap and pop and even tap, which i hadnt really seen much until he started showing me some of it.Main reason of this post, is, have you ever seen something or some one do something so well (maybe what u do) that it has just made u knock it up that extra notch? Cos i thought that brought me one step closer to god :|.also if ur wondering what the hell slap bass and all this is, i managed to get u some links merry crimbo pplSlap http://www.videoprogressions.com/qtCable.php?filename=a1/a1_3_hi.movTaphttp://www.videoprogressions.com/qtCable.php?filename=d1/d1_3_hi.mov

Motivation that questions your existance
-
so by being motivated to play a type of guitar, you feel closer to God?
-
who said anything about God ?

I know what you mean, MrJust. Some people can turn us off, but there are others who both challenge us and encourage us to do better. And it says something very good about you that you felt that way, instead of deciding you'd never be that good, so why try?

yep i know what you mean...like when i listen to zakk wylde or kirk hammett, they just motivate the hell out of me to wanna get better at guitar. And dude, those video's were pimp.

haha nah im not really religious, just using it as a comparison to how it made me feel. But yeh listening to stuff by awesome players just makes me all hyped, yeh and like ineligible said, it works in an oposite effect to, i mean i guess if you think your really good at something and then some one hands ur poop to u on a plate some ppl might take that as a real blow to confidence. I just hope one day i can make some one feel the way i felt, its just awesome to open a new world to ppl.I mean the tap video, i spent 3 hours tryin to copy that guy (i can do the lil tap thing but not keep time with the left hand). Its always good knowing that you can improve too i guess
