Slapping is a technique normally associated with bass guitar but it can be used on any guitar. Close your fingers to focus the weight of your hand and move your thumb with your whole wrist. Using a cross wise motion as well as downwards will give you more volume as the string can vibrate further without hitting the fingerboard.

The thumb and fingers work together in similar patterns to the kick and snare of a drum kit. Ghost-notes can also be produced during slapping if the strings are held lightly with the left hand.
