@@DiscoverDoubleBass I really luv how Katie goes right into beginning broom and sweep, mopping left snd right hand school composition. She's serious, no one liners, jokes. She takes you directly to furniture polishing, floor waxing, where her fingers are going right away. Very important concepts for any level no mater where one would vacuuming the carpet or painting a room, she's not messing around, I'd have paid her for a video real talk. If she'd have kept going she'd have gotten into applying wall stick rollers. She gets many stripes for this one, discover bass gets them for featuring her.

Always nice to review the fundamentals, the very first thing that I did when I got my bass (well, apart than learning to hold the bass) was focus on these concepts until it became natural and automatic to my playing.

May I ask why do you do that there's an E open string and you choose to play E on the D string? If you choose E open string instead will that be correct still?
@DiscoverDoubleBass Жыл бұрын
I'm not quite sure what part of the lesson you're referring to, but the E on the D string is an octave higher than the open E string, so it depends on the context of what you're playing as to which you would choose.
