Wow, I really appreciate the anchor exercise that you showed at the end. I just started thumb position and I'm glad that my teacher thinks the same way you do...get 'em started on it right away. We're using the George Vance books and I love that he uses harmonics right away. Like you said, takes the fear and mystery out. Love all of your doctoral videos too. Very inspirational for a new bass student like me. (and for everyone of course)

I'm just moving over to the double bass from electric, and this is really helping me get the hang of this awesome instrument. I completely agree with sean3415, you sure know what you're doing.
Thank you, bassius!

You have a very clear and direct way of teaching, and it's apparent that you love what you do. I've recently begun playing upright again, and your instruction has helped me very much. I will continue to check in on your page for updates.

oh and 1 more thing...i've been playing bass 18 years...make note of that *wink wink*

Not to be smarmy, but if it's 2nd or 1st...who cares? Are you in tune? Are you healthy? then you're probably ok with whatever is natural for you.
peace

i removed another comment my! accident i swear! PinHead432 said "Thumb is always opposite the second finger not the first. Please if your starting out dont listen to this guy " orly? well sir, in what position? for MOST people it's in between the 1st and 2nd finger. Make a fist...where's your thumb I'd bet it's on your first finger What else is funny? on PinHead432's channel there's a picture of George Vance's book Look at the books cover where's the guys thumb? behind the 1st finger LOL

great vid, but the bubble that appears which talks about your recent modifications to positions is completely obscuring your left hand... could you repost this without the bubble? i would really appreciate that.
