Easy solo bass with open strings

LISTEN UP! The string/fretnoise that is bothering some of you sensible individuals are due to a unplugged electro acoustic bass in a boomy room and amplified by the slight compression of the recording. Its not really an issue when its plugged in.
Having fun with ringing open strings, for some beautiful solo pieces.
In the example I use the A aolian scale (A B C D E F G), the A major scale (A B C# D E F# G) , The A mixolydian (A B C# D E F# G) and the D major scale (D E F# G A B C#)

@mindbodylightsound10 Lol if he took his fingers off completely it would be soo choppy haha your comment made me laugh

[brendon1470]

@mindbodylightsound10 I believe this sound is normal when playing acoustic bass and  when gliding and moving around the strings.. i had the same thing with my acoustic

[mindbodylightsound10]

Marlowe, I acknowledge you're a talented bassist and educator but the excessive noise you make with your left hand by not lifting your fingers off the strings completely when you shift encourages young bassists to think that's an "alright" way to play the bass when it's really just sloppy technique.
