    Thanks! I was talking about the head. But that video is very interesting as well!

    Double Bass Blues on the corner (McCoy)

    Yeah. I like to know about blues variations. Kind of a hobby (billie's bounce, blues for alice, sipping at bells, back home blues, etc, the one that you start from a dominant chain half step up, coltrane changes etc.) I just couldn't figure out the exact changes for this one, or know how this...

    Hey guys, can someone help me 1. Figure out the changes? 2. Understand theoretically the changes? Thank you so much! Regards.

    About the Boss SY-1

    Hey guys! I'm mainly a double bassist and I have little clue about pedals. I'm looking for the classic "chameleon" moog sound with my new SY-1, but I cannot find the right settings. Also, is it advisable to purchase any other(s) pedal to make this one sound good in a live performance? Like a...

    Double Bass REALLY Learning a tune

    After D F A C, the closest note from G7 would be, going down, the B (on G string). But going up the D (1 tone away from C, on the G string). If you go to the D you started with again, isn't that a change of octaves? This is what I don't understand...

    Double Bass REALLY Learning a tune

    For example, this one from the first post D F A C D F G B C E G B Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but if you go up in a II V I like this you don't have enough fingerboard. I'm guessing you change octaves somewhere. Where do you change octaves? At the start of every chord change?

    Double Bass REALLY Learning a tune

    Hi @Ed Fuqua , thank you so much for the detailed shared knowledge. I'm going to try the "chord voicing" exercise. I suppose when you don't want to go higher pitch pass a certain point, you look for the closest descending note of the next arpeggio?

    Double Bass Changes to "back home blues"?

    @Kevin Hailey @DoubleMIDI I believe the progression is still just blues for alice (on the first 4 bars) C7|(B-7b5) E7|A-7 (D7)|G-7 C7| Here it seems to be used as a shout chorus

    Double Bass Changes to "back home blues"?

    Thank you. That makes it easy to do a walking bass!

    Double Bass Changes to "back home blues"?

    Thank you so much! I was thinking C7| F-7 | A-7 D7| G-7 C7|, but you're right. It seems that it's common to start with the bass playing the line cliche (G,Ab,A,Bb) instead of the roots. Now I need to figure out a couple of ways to walk through that progression...

    Double Bass Changes to "back home blues"?

    Hey guys, I'm having trouble hearing what's happening in the first 4 bars. 5-12 seem like blues for alice, tho. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

    About hip hop and plucking on the neck

    Thanks! I think I'll be myself and play how I think it will generally sound better (adapting myself to the music). I think that's the best I can do. I have a couple of weeks until the gigs, tho. So I will experiment aswell with the more sharp attack and ghost notes. @BismarckHerring is this...

    About hip hop and plucking on the neck

    Hey guys, I recorded: -GS1, playing with a sponge as a mute, on the pickup. -GS2, playing without the sponge on the neck. @BarfanyShart any thoughts?

    About hip hop and plucking on the neck

    Amazing... thanks. I turned the VPF of my micromark all the way up (boosts lows and highs and cuts mids iirc). It's way more like I want it to sound. Still, I get more the tone I like playing on the neck...
