Double Bass Lesson by Joel Quarrington
Using a one-finger major scale to demonstrate, Joel Quarrington shows us how he 'hangs' his hand on the fingerboard and the position of the fingers. The one-finger major scale is the perfect framework to practice any aspect of technique, from shifting to vibrato. It’s easy to understand, so you can focus on the mechanics of what you’re playing. Remember to stay loose, and use all of the fingers on your left hand, even the 3rd!
This video is a quick look inside Joel's full-length course, The Joel Quarrington Method: A step-by-step course in 4ths tuning.
