Cool. The most important thing as you know is the sound whereas I find myself often walking with the 2 fingers together on the quarter note. All your exercises do work with that approach as well. Thanks.
So…when you get a blister on one of your plucking fingers - how long until you use that finger again>? Had my bass only 3 days so far and my middle finger couldn’t take it as well as the index
Well, it’s a bit of a grey area. I’ve seen quite a few folks on Reddit arguing about the best approaches. It’s been so long for me personally that I can’t remember exactly what I did other than definitely playing through discomfort. But maybe that doesn’t exactly mean “pain”. I’ve seen (and I think I did this too) advice to carefully pierce the blister and cover it to speed the process. I think one can’t avoid some discomfort, but definitely don’t kill yourself. If both fingers are messed up, try to take a break. Maybe practice Arco for a little while? And also I’ve found that liquid bandage can help quite a bit in this scenario. I hope this was somewhat helpful. Ultimately you want calluses to develop…
What a great tutorial! This helps immensely with my study of the double bass. When I began about four years ago, every thing I read said to always play with one finger, or with the two conjoined on one string. Coming from an electric bass background I found that very confusing. Especially since everything I played involved the first two fingers, and felt more natural to me. Anyway, thanks again for your help in unlocking this wonderful but often overlooked instrument.
I'm glad! Thanks for watching. It's especially helpful to hear today, since yesterday I had a little bit of a troll who complained about the stuff not being advanced enough.

Yes exactly - thanks for watching and commenting!
I sometimes use three fingers.

Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
In Taiwan there’s this saying in Chinese: 一個巴掌拍不響, which translates to “You can’t clap with only one hand.”😂
Haha! That’s great

Thank you sir! I ordered the Ray Brown book and can't wait to dig into it!

merci beaucoup pour cette exercice
Vous êtes les bienvenus ! merci d'avoir regardé la vidéo!
This is a huge lesson! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thank you!
The room is too "live"... Maybe some acoustic tiles would help? Or better mic placement?
I had equipment issues that weekend. The remainder of the videos should be similar to the earlier ones that have better sound
