Chris West, Professor of Double Bass at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, explains his simple rule to help you decide whether to play an open string or not.
Your tutorials are fantastic. I am in an erea with no double bass teacher's so I have begun teaching myself how to play. I have begun taking music theory lessons with a teacher and I am trying to stay true and ethical (sitting correctly, holding bass and bow correctly etc. ) You are one of the main CZcams Double Bass Teacher's that I go to when I have issues ( which tend to be daily,hourly or every second minute it would seem.) Thank you.
Hi Alexander, thanks for your nice comment and good luck with your bass playing. I only wish I had time to make more of these videos, but luckily there are people out there like Jason Heath who produce great videos regularly. Perhaps you could find a teacher who gives online lessons by Zoom? One of the few positives from the pandemic was that it taught us that you can achieve plenty in an online lesson.
Blimey. That was so simple and it makes sense.
