How to Play Upright Bass : Chromatic Scales for the Upright Bass

how do tell what note you are hitting with frets?

@refici222 thats what im wondering! im a guitar player and i dont understand how you can do things without frets!!!

[braddudeguy]

@Qdude88 You hear the difference? Once you develop an ear for it, you can tell what note it is without the frets.

No disrepect but if you're going to call your self an expert then

you gotta be able to take a hit:

your hands [yes both of them] look horrible and you have no sense of dynamics. There is no life to the scale you are trying to teach: it just sounds like a bunch of rushed,dead notes.

I mean you seem like a nice guy and all and I'm sure you mean no harm but you really have no right caling yourself a teacher.

That is such a cool sounding instrument.

But damn, that thing is huge.
