  • @Qdude88 You hear the difference? Once you develop an ear for it, you can tell what note it is without the frets.

  • @refici222 thats what im wondering! im a guitar player and i dont understand how you can do things without frets!!! 

  • how do tell what note you are hitting with frets?

  • hi, thanks for these vids. i'm seriously thinking of taking up double bass. i play bass guitar at the moment. is it much of a transition?

  • just saying :P

  • ha i'm an expert i play the bass

  • No disrepect but if you're going to call your self an expert then

    you gotta be able to take a hit:

    your hands [yes both of them] look horrible and you have no sense of dynamics. There is no life to the scale you are trying to teach: it just sounds like a bunch of rushed,dead notes.

    I mean you seem like a nice guy and all and I'm sure you mean no harm but you really have no right caling yourself a teacher.

  • That is such a cool sounding instrument.

    But damn, that thing is huge.
