How to Play Fast on the Double Bass
Interview & Performance with John Goldsby
In this interview with John Goldsby (WDR Big Band), we discuss a really common question that our audience often asks about - playing fast tempos. John gives some really helpful hints and tips on how he approaches practising and performing fast pieces. As well as the mental process, he covers a few left and right hand techniques that can really help.
John also performs an up-tempo rendition of 'Red Cross' by Charlie Parker at the end of the video, which I know you won't want to miss!
