Double bass fun(ky) fun

Low voice audio level , sorry.
From beginner to beginners double bass lesson;-)
A funky bass line using the E Blues scale
E (1)
G (b3)
A (4)
A#/Bb (b5)
B (5)
D (b7)
Also added chromatic note D# between D and E.

Cant help myself even if should practice with the bow
Forgive the rhythmic irregularities - got carried away, but didnt want to do another "perfect" take - after all its IS a journey im on, so mistakes should be included.
I also mention ghosted notes on beat 2 and 4, but in the bassline im actually ghosting beat 3 - Hmmm, "great" explanation Thomas!!

Jeg er ked af at sige det... men vi dansker lyder virkelig dumme når vi snakker engelsk xD

@CynicalExsik Jeg kan berolige dig med at det kun os selv der synes det;-) Lad det ikke begrænse dig, jeg er selv fuldstændig ligeglad

how tall is a double bass????????????

[MarloweDK]

@remo07bassclot Depends of how high you set the end pin

[Speekerful]

Holy

The first 5 seconds of this were epic let alone the rest

I regret watching this video...its only added to my ambition to buying a double bass, shame about my unemployment :(

however I do disagree about about having to learn classical, this was what I was taught for sax but I bounced against that regime and did just fine in 6 years

[MarloweDK]

@Speekerful Well you need to learn to use a bow to be able to play in tune and classical music has the most material for that:-)

hi! great vids! i was wondering if thats a carved upright or a laminated? congrats!

[mrdndktr]

@MarloweDK That applies to every other non-English-speaking country I think :P I also think it is very ugly when I hear a Dutchman speaking English. But your English doesn't sound dumb into my ears at all.

And besides that, I would like to say "tak", for al the inspiration and huge technique improvements you have given me since the past year I am watching your videos!

@remo07bassclot

A 3/4 Double bass is generally about 185 Cm (6'2") Without the peg. Almost all Double basses are 3/4 basses. When playing the lower tuning peg should be at the bottom of your ear hightwise.
