In this video I demonstrate how to play Mark King’s slap bass groove from the Level 42 classic ‘Love Games’. You’ll find this track on the band's self-titled debut album.

This is a great line to play and is the perfect place to start if you’re interested in studying Mark King’s style of playing. I used a Jaydee bass for the classic Mark King tone here.
