Folsom Prison Blues rockabilly tutorial double bass

[@michaellawlor1267]

Forgive me for saying so, Russell but the second note after F is actually C. Great introduction to rockabilly bass, though

[@Maverick4023]

I've just bought my first double bass a few days ago and this was a great help. Thank you!

[@TheKopyKatz]

Good luck with it Enjoy!

[@jamesdyes9827]

Good golly, its my old mate Russell. Legend!!!

[@roystonowl1]

Should be saying F to C, (not G). But nice easy one to start with.

[@larryandersen681]

Looking for this comment. Lol!

[@athanorcovers5790]

Also that it us Bb and not A# to be completely correct. Basically it doesn't matter but harmony wise it's wrong because a 12 bar blues is I, IV, V. And a A# would be the #3 and not the 4th which would be the Bb.

[@andrewbrowne5557]

@@athanorcovers5790 1 b in the key of F…and it’s Bb…A# is found in the key of B…but hey, who cares? Let’s slap some bass!

[@locarnese5598]

Yes, and the "triplets" are not triplets, but "quarter - eighth-eight." Good technique and great video, but what a mess with basic theory!

Muy bueno,....gracias desde Argentina.

[@brillhartmusic8842]

Nicely done

[@statusquorules]

[@johnunderwood3132]

Love it. Just brilliant

[@parlenterockabilly2716]

Very nice cool 🤘🤘

[@NikkiBoneyard]

This helps a lot, thank you for this!

[@MariUSukulele]

Hi there. Please allow me to point out a few things that throw me curveballs here: the A# is really a Bb, as we are in the key of F. Then the first alternating bass is f-c, not f-g. Kindest regards!

[@AnthonyHorvath]

Awesome.

[@AlexBenda-b8s]

Enjoyed watching your video bug instead of A sharp, I would say B Flat because your in the key of F which the 4th is B Flat.

[@stephaniedykes4157]

How do you know where to put the fingers on your left hand without frets?

[@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat]

It comes with practice, muscle memory and ear training. I'm a double bassist. Originally I marked the 'frets' on my bass so I could see when I was learning. Then I got rid of the marks and surprisingly I was able to find the notes.

[@Fastcadillac-h9l]

Hi how are things? What strings do you have on the double bass? Sounds very good

[@davidcudlip6587]

Howdy, What strings are you running on that doghouse?

[@thegreenmanalishiyamadori371]

Video is great for Beginners,but excuse me Russel the 5th of F is C ,not G and the Subdominant move goes to Bb not A# There are no #'s in F Major😂😂😂

[@TheKopyKatz]

It seems Russ did make an error judging by all the comments here 😅

[@davidcuite1521]

B flat my friend, NOT, A sharp.

[@simonway8936]

Don’t say A sharp in the key of F. It’s B flat, and you should know that!

[@lancecohen9950]

It's not F - G - your playing F - C - F is on the D string and the C is on the A string. at least, that's what your playing...

[@AYTAZED]

This video is totally the wrong technique. Play it like this and you're way off, it sounds terrible. Look how marshall grant played. And yes, I do know the double bass inside and out. BTW, you need stringing up for saying Luther Perkins guitar playing is boring.

[@jazz-oc5ts]

F is the key so when playing a country slap style of root and 5ths its F to C not G then Bb to F and then C to G the guitar however would play F Bb C7 , good stuff

[@cliffordpeeteetuce7143]

Awesome
