Start slow, and make sure you're getting it on target.<br/><br/>Then slowly speed up until you hit another string. When you do, go back and start slow again, and build the speed up again.<br/><br/>Keep on doing this, until you can do it for longer periods of time.<br/><br/>Good luck with it man!

It really is just a case of practising hitting it as much as possible. Start slow, and make sure you’re getting it on target.

Then slowly speed up until you hit another string. When you do, go back and start slow again, and build the speed up again.

Keep on doing this, until you can do it for longer periods of time.

Good luck with it man!

Def has helped me with my playing.<br/><br/>Just a question though, I have trouble slapping the A string accurately. Outside of practice, are there any tips you could give on hand position and whatnot that'd help my accuracy? Thanks man, your videos are awesome. Thanks for the video!

I was experimentng at the time with drone stuff. Normally, i'll have the B at the top as usual, though.
