_ _ So bad?
Well, I can't do that.
I was fighting it for years and I [Ab] could never figure out how to slap.
I couldn't.
[N]
And I essentially almost gave up until I let my body talk.
And what my body said was, relax, let [Bb] gravity and physics work for you.
Let go.
Right?
So instead of doing this, I will [E] relax and I do this.
So I slap with my middle finger and my thumb.
I do not [Bb] slap with my index finger at all.
The reason for that [B] is it's straight.
If you do this [Db] and spin your hand, notice there's an axis [Ab] on your index finger.
So that takes the least amount of tension.
[E] _ And all that other stuff is a [Ab] combination of left hand and right hand together.
Cool all that.
Cool. _
I'm not going to lie to the world.
Based on what you just said, cool is cool.
_ _ That's cool.
[E] Thanks, man.
It just looks a little unorthodox, right?
But it was my way of just _ [F] my body relaxing and then [Abm] it became easy.
If that makes [E] sense.
It became easy. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ That's all left hand and right hand working together.
So it's like it's weird.
It's like if you look at it sometimes, it's like you're doing nothing.
If you look at my right hand, it's like it's doing nothing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Because it's right and left working together.
Which takes a lot of stress and tension off of your hand.

The key is [Db] relaxation.
