Double Bass Best Scales for Jazz

Damon Rondeau said:
This is pretty much the same approach my teacher -- Steve Hamilton -- has been taking with me. Every now and then I get this crazy idea that there are some secret scales he and all the other really good players are hiding from me. Every time he sends me back deeper into the arpeggio thing and I come out happier.

That's right Daniel san. Do paint the fence. Do sand the floor.

Many times we, as students, don't always see the value in what our teachers are telling us. It is only after much practice that we see the value. When we paint the fence and sand the floor we are in fact learning the secrets.
