Simple Concepts - Beginner's Double Bass Lesson with Katie Thiroux

[@petersmith5029]

Eight minutes and twenty-five seconds is my exact attention span. Thanks.

[@bankavegur]

Thanks

[@katskikuczynski1549]

Thank you! I've been buzzing in my left hand - I'm self taught from grade 3 and this vid has helped me so so much!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Glad it helped, that's great to hear.

@@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.

Been playing electric for three decades and just got an upright. I will be tuning in for more.

[@harryblue9502]

As a beginner... Katie's super- approachable lessons are a joy to follow.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

She's the best! :-)

[@memofrf]

Oh my day's that was brilliant. So much information. Thank you.

[@davidhamilton7780]

So much of what you are teaching applies to my e-bass as well. Thanks for the great tips!

[@CiliophoraEuplotes]

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.

[@izziOnBass]

It's very had to find a left hand note positioning videos. Thank you for posting this. Also have become a great fan of Katie! Cheers!

My girlfriend's son (13) has a chance to play a bass at school. He plays the cello now, so I am hoping he gets into the bass! I am 68 and would love to learn it!! I played drums, but always loved bass.Great video! Thanks for posting :)

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks for watching and great to hear you’re enjoying the upright bass 🙏🏻

[@riyahf3481]

thank you for this!! i’ve been playing violin in my orchestra for quite some time now and volunteered to switch my instrument for some concerts because of a bass player shortage. i’ve been kind of nervous to make the switch so this definitely eased some anxiety!

[@uli9084]

you are a hero to go from violin tot double bass, my utmost respect

[@williamgupton8770]

Thank you...i just bought double bass i play 6 string electric bass now i want 2 get better and the double bass will take me there

[@mindaphan2069]

I'm a high school junior who has been playing the violin for roughly 5 years now and I'm currently learning how to play the double bass as a secondary instrument in my school to help my teacher because he doesn't have enough bass players and I found this helpful! :) Thank you so much

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Glad it was useful. Enjoy your practice! :-)

[@michaelanderson001]

I'm playing in a community orchestra, so mastering the use of a bow is essential.

[@donaldswan1587]

Super-helpful, thank you! My tone, volume and stability all improved in one lesson. Very grateful!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@flippedmusiclearning]

Fantastic thanks - I'm a basic jazz bass player because my main instrument is violin (jazz & classical) but in my school program I have 3 classical bassists I have trained that want to get into Jazz - definitely sharing this video with them. Thanks - it's like a free masterclass.

Katie loves your lessons. I'm new on double bass and have problem keeping my fingers to the fret board. Thank you !!!.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

You can do it! It just takes time to get comfortable. Also check out our free lessons library to see if there's anything which might help discoverdoublebass.com/lessons-library/

I am retired music teacher. 68 years old. My sister is giving me a Double Bass that someone gave her...I am hoping to learn to play. I am hopeful....and hopeful I can learn through this video and others. I figure it is worth a try.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

That's great to hear. Best of luck with all your practice :-)

[@freddiegoodman9628]

I play electric bass, i recently found out my school has a double bass in my classroom cupboard, so im determined to learn to play it so i can show my students 😂

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Enjoy!

[@christian1526]

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]

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.

[@washingtonluiz4912]

I Love it all ! Just question, what is the right name of this instrument is duble bass or upright bass?

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Both :-)

[@MrSilver261]

and we all know its all about the bass!

[@ricemagician]

I admire the bass players. Although the sound of a bass is essential over anything else, they are not being stood up in a stage. Also have to pay extra dollar when flying, carrying heavy items everywhere.

[@andrewbrowne5557]

Katie, would you tell us about your bass? It’s gorgeous!!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Yes, it's a great instrument and the full details are half way down this page. discoverdoublebass.com/geoff-chalmers It's been used by many of our tutors and it's fun to hear it by different players.

[@indranilbagchi95]

This video surely inspires me to play. I ain't a musician but I wish to begin learning bass real soon. Double bass okay for beginners? (It's bloody expensive)

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Anyone can learn and we all start as beginner's, It's an incredible instrument and I'm sure you would love it.

[@indranilbagchi95]

@@DiscoverDoubleBass I always wanted to play European classical music on the bass. Danke

[@danielmoreno7056]

Honestly the physicality of stringed instruments discourages a lot of people. I think the piano is the "easiest" to understand music theory on

been playing electric bass for a bit and I'm just here trying to see the differences lol

[@williampeckham9838]

Is that fret buzz ok on a double bass?

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Not for classical music, but a bit of growl on the low notes works great for jazz!
