"San Tomas" Jazz Samba: A study in left hand articulations and thumb position Vol. 1

0 ratings

This composition and lesson is in homage to one of the greatest legends of the double bass, Mr. Ron Carter. Techniques explored include pull offs, hammer ons, vibrato, "ghost" notes, glissando, and my own thorough yet simple explanation of thumb position on the upright bass.

I want this!

25+ minutes of video lessons explaining the concepts are included, as well as video performances of the piece on double bass, a video performance showing the chords being played on electric 6 string bass, and audio files which include the double bass part, and another audio file with the double bass muted (drums and chords only). A PDF of the music is included.
