That was helpful just to get started on how to learn cause at my school we are doing bass duets and quartets and they go so insanely high like the high high d on the g string thanks alot

This was a seriously helpful lessons!! I find many upright bass lessons on youtube are useless, but not this.

Very good, and I also like the book recommendations - I'll check them out. Oh and btw, you should have noted that when you are in THUMB POSITION, SHOULDER TAKES THE JOB OF THE THUMB, meaning the shoulder is used to help fingers press down the string, just like a thumb would in half/etc positions.

You cleared a lot of things up :D thanks

Have you ever tried using the fingernail when play in thumb position? It really opens up your hand a lot. Check out Edgar Meyer to see what I'm talking about.

I sort of do when I'm near the end of the fingerboard. There's a little mark on the inside of my thumbnail.
But it might not be the same thing. Can you explain what you mean further or post a link to a video of Edgar where I can see it?
