I seem to have some problem with it. I've been playing for one or two years, but No matter how hard I try, I can't get any Sound out of my slaps. They just make a crappy buzzing noise, like the one you get when you press down directly on a fret and pluck, There's no actual Note, just a buzz. I've even gotten lessons, and I can't seem to pull it off, What would you suggest for teaching a slow insturmental learner like myself?
