I explain how "guide" fingers can help you develop more accurate and reliable intonation, particularly in the upper register. I also demonstrate some ways to practice large shifts.

  • Great video, I really like the idea of playing the same leap down the string an octave first to get the feel / sound in your head. I'll be sure to try this out.

  • @TheDoubbleBass Thanks! The singing helps too. In general, engaging more of your senses is only going to make this kind of thing easier.

  • Wonderful to hear you talk about thinking about one position to another regardless of finger. This is helping me tremendously and my teacher promotes this method as well. Hope the cello/bass (Meyer) project is going well. I always come back to your Capriccio for inspiration.

  • Amazing!!!! Excellent teacher!!!!
