um..the best and most effective place to "slap" is just afore the last fret.
practice watching telly going up and down the strings,then jumping between them in different sequences.
Also you will have to learn to "pop" and use more than just the 2 fingers you use to give people 2's up to so thats your thumb and 3 other fingers to slap n pop!
After a while you can then go on to learn to "double slap" where you slap with yer other hand way up the neck-its fair hard tho!
Remember you dont have to slap every note,its more effective if you dont!
one of my favourite songs to "slap" along to is "girls on film" by Duran Duran-it may sound cheesy cause its DD but just listen to it,a brilliant bass line with a cool bass solo.
also early chili stuff like "jungle man,stone cold bush",etc...
oh and "livin in america" James Brown
