Damian Erskine & Using 5ths on the bass

Damian Erskine gives some tips about using 5ths on the bass to get around the neck. (My deepest apologies for calling the A an 11th in CMajor... it's the 13th !! Trying to think and play at the same time never works for me! ;)

Very helpful! Never looked at fifths this way! You just opened a new door for me!

And by the way, nevermind those internet pricks saying bad stuff about you. They're just jealous and/or have a small weenie! :)

Keep rockin' dude!

wow!!! todd johnson zon!!! a quick review will be the most welcome!!

any pros&cons? playability, craftmanship...??????

[damianerskine]

@anahowana I love my Zons! I don't play a Zon 6 anymore tho because I find that C-strings sound too thin on graphite necks. Other than that, I loved em'!

This is a really really cool video; thanks for posting this. The stuff at the end about how our ears respond to the symmetry, and the idea of "bringing it back" for our "western ears" is great.

Well, except for the 'weenie' implication. It's just frustrated ego doing the thinking and talking.

Sensei! You've done it again! Once again, "Thanks, Damian!" BTW, I Totally Agree with "Katraal:" Very helpful and mind opening. It's time for Erskine Bass Camp!
