What a marvellous teacher - comprehensive, clear and at times even unwittingly poetic. Thank you so much.

This is the second time I've viewed these videos and taken away new concepts to apply to my playing. These are by far the best bass lessons I've had. Thank you so much.

Oh my god, I can't even describe how amazing this is! I just got so much out of these videos. It's like he has a library of concepts that I've been looking for. It's opened my mind up so much, and I can already feel it helping me play better!

Extremely knowledgeable.

Hey great vid... I was kinda disappointed that while there were 9 cool right hand technique videos, there's only one on the left hand technique. I should mention I play jazz and do not yet own a bow. I appreciate your great videos, so it would be awesome if you could help the young jazz cats out and tell us more about traditional left hand technique. Peace

[@eliseoborrerobass]

Thank you for the info. I have played the "open hand" /"extension"/ "electric bass" technic since I started studying the bass 1983. Before that I used to play electric bass since I was 14 y.o. Is there a serious method on this? I have the Gary Karr video and he uses it, you use the third finger on lower positions but some old fashioned teachers insist on not using this wonderful resource. Why is that? I'm trying to get a degree and I'm worried this may upset a future teacher.

[@michaelanderson001]

I was particularly interested in Part 10; where you discussed moving the hand on the fingerboard from one position to the other. For example; on a 4 string bass, going from, say, A (played with 1st finger) to D (played with 4th finger) and back to A. I always had a problem getting back the exact postion for A.
.......
My trick (frowned upon) is to place two pieces of tape on the neck of the bass, so that when my thumb touches the top one I know that I'm in a postion to play A, B flat and/or B; and when my thumb touches the lower piece of tape my fingers are in postion to play C, C sharp and D.
Do you have any other tips?
