Bass Bites w/ Anne Luna: another simple exercise to help with soloing (expanding on the 1-note solo)

Bass Bites: small, digestible bits of tips, tricks, licks and more for the double bass, in under 10 minutes.
Ever been put on the spot for a bass solo that you weren't ready for? Here is a simple exercise to try out to help build confidence in approaching soloing, along with a few other tips. This is an expansion of the 1-note solo, which helps alleviate fear of picking "the wrong note", allows you to focus on articulation, rhythm, breathing, and listening to how a single note harmonizes--or doesn't!--with the chord. Here, we choose 2 chromatic notes and slide between them to create even more interest and help build technique.
Stay tuned for more!

I enjoyed this video a lot, for a slight different reason. I live in a dry forest in Costa Rica, and if weather permits, I practice with my bass in the forest. I even have a similar metronome, and I even have a similar wooden chair that I use to take the tuner and the metronome.
I do enjoy the bites as well, so as soon as the sun goes down a bit, I'll go out to the forest and play out this lesson. Thanks a lot.

I love that! I can imagine you filling the forest with music 😊🎶 That's very cool that you have a similar metronome and chair!
Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to comment! Happy practicing!
