In this lesson, we dive into the legendary 'Lopsy Lu' by Stanley Clarke, one of the most iconic and influential bass compositions of all time. Stanley Clarke’s unique combination of slap and strumming technique and melodic phrasing helped shape an entire generation of bassists. Lopsy Lu and Clarke’s style left a massive mark on players like Mark King, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, and Marcus Miller – each of whom took inspiration and ran with it in their own directions. In this lesson you'll learn the main bass line and I also break down the essential slap and strumming techniques needed to get through the piece.
