This weekend I will be having my “bass student” come for a lesson.

We can use my first three posts on this blog to guide proper technique if needed, but hopefully I will remember/know the answers to any questions.

(30 mins)We will start with electric bass as it is a little easier to get a hold on. We will cover left hand and right hand technique before learning Ode to Joy in the key of B flat.

(30 mins)Then we will move to double bass. We will cover left hand technique first, then talk a little bit about plucking with the right hand. The goal with be to play Ode to Joy in the key of B flat, using a german style bow hold.

These might be big goals but we will see how far we have gotten in the first half hour (electric bass) and then we can adjust the double bass goals from there.
