In this video Dominic covers a vast array of jazz double bass playing issues and demonstrates many of them at speed. Topics include Christian McBride, Paul Chambers, playing with the bow, left hand technique, tuning, swing, metronome work, scale practice, two octave scales, getting a sound, utilising the melodic minor scale for the bebop notes, slow notes, playing along with solos, Charlie Parker, playing the Donna Lee head and solo ( then doing a three mile run!), transcription teaching tools, posture, hands and wrists, practising solos at half tempo and full tempo, double bass mutes, car mats and more. There is a stack to learn here, have fun.
