Awesome. That Linda exercise is really melodic and helpful. Ive been doing it and teaching it for years now, and I got it from a fellow guitar player. Spread triads that is, so common for guitar players and sax players. It's a really nice exercise.
Fantastic, Geoff. It's so helpful to be reminded that no matter how great these players are, they all see themselves as involved in the same process as amateurs like me - discipline, challenging oneself, and diligent and careful attention to continuous improvement. Very inspiring. And also great to see the variety of clever ways of breaking down the process and focusing on various components - technique, endurance, strength, mental flexibility, intonation, and etc. Thanks so much for making this available to us all!
My pleasure Ray and I completely agree with your post. It's so inspiring to be reminded we are all on a journey with our playing. I was so thrilled that everyone was so generous with their answers to this question. There's so many great ideas and inspiration.
For players interested in developing jazz phrasing with the bow, you cannot beat the Kreutzer Etude No. 1. The Simandl edition includes a number of bowings, many of which are well suited for jazz articulation and phrasing.
Thanks for this great video. Very inspirational, I will have to expand my repartoire. But good to know that I am not totally wrong with my current exercises :-), which are two octave scales and arpeggios from the perfect Discover Double Bass Play-Along-Collections.
Carlos Henriquez and John Clayton bring up their practice with the bow in other videos in the series. I believe other players do as well, but they come to mind first
Really cool, thanks 🤩
Fantastic video, thanks
such an amazing video. treasure box for bassists
Best video on this series! So much great stuff. I really love the broken chords concept in the last exercise.
Glad you enjoyed it! This one has some really useful advice
@@DiscoverDoubleBass so useful it's worth watching again and taking notes. Thanks for another great video Geoff

Hi friends. Where is the bow? Ok we are jazz bass players but to get a good sound on double bass it's important to study the bow.
Carlos Henriquez and John Clayton bring up their practice with the bow in other videos in the series. I believe other players do as well, but they come to mind first
Jesus Christ this was genius compilation! And I'm an atheist. thanks!
Larry Grenadier needs to change his last name to Bassist. I doubt if he has ever tossed a grenade.
