tinyd Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 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.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
