gypsyjazzer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I want to learn to play in the thumb position. (from the octive G on the 1st string). Scales / Arpeggio's etc. Where can I find information regarding using the correct left hand fingering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philparker Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Apart from on-line (with Geoff, of course!) - for arco, I would recommend either Introduction to the thumb position by Cathy Elliot; or Enjoy The Double Bass Vol 4.
