Double Bass Playing suggestion

[Andy Mopley]

Hi all
see attached. In red is the string where I am starting the pattern - is this there another better way to approach?

Regards to all

Better than what?

I'd play those on adjacent strings myself, easier bowing.

I’d use 1-4 on the A and D strings (extended fingering) for the e-c, shift down for the d#-b. I’d mostly play all the m6 combinations with 1-4 on adjacent strings. Would also depend on the tempo and dynamic.

Yep, that's pretty much how I've been approaching it. Thanks!!

Your way is best. Difficult but doable if you do not panic. Good luck!

Just curious, what piece is the excerpt from?
