Useful fingering video

I found this video pretty helpful so thought I'd share it:
 

Obviously there are lots of approaches to playing scales, but I liked this one as the shifting is consistent and it only takes a small modification to generate each of the other scales as well.

Not for a second claiming that this is the best solution for all situations but I've found it's a nice one to have in the arsenal....

OK, no need to worry about NSFW then ...

I admit I was expecting this to be ok, but the above thoughts definitely crossed my mind!

Haha - it crossed my (very immature) mind as well .....

Will this appear on my search history? (Asking for a friend).

I sometimes/often do it, it works very well, not really useful in a context but when you learn like this, everything becomes easier, not because the exercise is difficult, it's actually easy.

Most of double bass players stay in half-position first position, it's like a box you can't escape.

I don't claim that half-position is bad : I mostly play the bass guitar in "pseudo half-position" in the big band I play with when I read scores.

 

This fingering reminds me 5ths tuning.
