For each of the twenty five licks the app includes four high quality videos of MarloweDK playing the lick at normal tempo, slow tempo, then reeeeal slow left and right hand close-ups. That’s one hundred videos in total to help you learn to play each lick perfectly! Performance notes for each lick are also included along with MarloweDK’s tips on how and what to play.
The app also features an animated tab and fretboard viewer that keeps time with the videos, and a tab player that lets you play each lick at the tempo that you want to learn at. There is also a metronome click (and a drum beat on the iPad) to help you keep your playing in time.
The app also includes an introductory video tutorial where MarloweDK gives his insights into some of the fundamentals of bass playing and his own slap bass style.
