petebassist Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Talkbassers among you might have see this [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/2-minute-jazz-christian-mcbride.1295477/"]interesting 2-minute video[/url] from Christian McBride where he talks about how to get a good tone, and someone's even transcribed the walking bass that he uses. I might have unlearn my chicken-wing arm technique that I learnt from Ed Friedland... Quote
Burns-bass Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) I went to a Christian McBride solo recital l (unamplified) last year and it was incredible. His technique is just insanely good. The only problem was that my wife fell asleep. She wasn’t the only one either, a few in the crowd did too. Shame really. Anyway, will check I this out, cheers!

NickA Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Well, nice to know I'm doing all the right things ....but still don't sound anything like Christian McBride :¬( he doesn't move his hand much and says not to pull the string back like you're firing an arrow ...but the string certainly moves a lot! Big strong bass player. Love it. Quote
