Hey Hi. Zoltan you are a fantastic bassist I have used and benefited from many of your tutorials , thank you. PLEASE ADVISE , I play the bass guitar but have moved onto the Double Bass and have become lost in the world of Arco ( sounds like I am strangling a cow.) I have a music theory question that I just cant seem to work out , cant tell you how many hours I've spent trying to crack this code. There are NO double bass teachers in my town or even in a town nearby so I have no one I can bug my side of the map. If you don't mind I have a question I'd like to ask you but only if that's OK with you. Cheers. Gavin Alexander
Hi Alexander, thanks for getting in touch and your kind comments. Of course, feel free to ask your question about the theory you are struggling with. Cheers, Zoltan
@@zoltansbasslounge So grateful for your getting back to me . Have watched and enjoyed your tutorials and made use of many of them time and time again when I transitioned from the Bass guitar to to Double bass a couple of years ago. My question is ...if I am looking at a piece of sheet music/score say Canon in D the version I'm studying the 4th note/tone is a B (the line is written in the Bass Clef) This note B falls on the SECOND LINE on the staff/measure , my question is which B is to be played/plucked/bowed ? the B '2nd 'fret on the A string or is it the B the 7th fret on the E string ? Same question if Im looking at a piece of sheet music/score and lets just say the first note ( arguments sake it's a quarter note ) is shown/marked on the first space on the staff/measure , this A is it to played as the OPEN A ? or as the A on the 5th fret on the E string ?
@@Musicman914 Hi Alexander, no worries. In both cases you'd need to put the note in context of what comes before it and after it. So for example, the Pachelbel i beleive is a decending line in D major so you could start with an open D and play the B "2nd" fret on the A string when you get to it.. It then carries on to an A if i am correct so you can easily step down to an open A string. It would make sense to play that B on the E string if you were to carry on playing higher notes, in that case playing the B on the "7th fret" would put your hand in a higher position thus preparing it to to play higher notes on the adjacent strings. Same with your first note A, look at what follows it, if the notes stay in the lower positions then play it as open (for intonation i would play an opening note of a piece on an open string anyways, given the possibility), however, if the piece goes up into the higher registers immediately after that note then by all means you can play it on the E string. Hope this helps. i may do a little video on this as it's a very good topic and great question on your part...
@@zoltansbasslounge You are 'one of the best 'Double Bassists/teachers that I have found on TH-cam, along with Geoff from Discover Double Bass who has done so much for the Double Bass community And Jason Heath who's tutorials are fantastic. Thank you for taking the time and effort to reply with helpful info. Cheers. Gavin.
Yes, you should be able to. The harmonic notes will be in the same place on gut strings as well. Try to play those harmonic notes with the bow, that will give you the most exact tuning. (even if you can't really play with the bow, you can use it to tune) Hope this helps..

Nice lesson. THANK YOU
You are welcome!
Thanks!
Is it hard to find notes on the upright?
Imma get a one for the first time and its my first instrument, but I see it doesn't have frets like guitar.

Can I tune a bass like this if it has gut strings ?
Yes, you should be able to. The harmonic notes will be in the same place on gut strings as well. Try to play those harmonic notes with the bow, that will give you the most exact tuning. (even if you can't really play with the bow, you can use it to tune) Hope this helps..
