Double bass diaries #7
Add to favorites 
Episode #7 of a beginners journey into the world of playing the upright / double bass.
In this video I talk about left hand technique, and about practicing scales and arpeggios.
Forgive me for using the term “fretboard”, it should of course be “fingerboard” , old habits die hard:-)

Thomas,
In big band jazz, it has been my experience that you will find yourself in one through four flats quite often. I guess it’s written there for the benefit of the horn players. Most of the guitar based music seems to be in sharps. Nothing scientific, only an observation.

: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?
: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right? 
: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.
: Hi guys!
