Double Bass Journey

I cut together a video of my double bass experiments, practice and development during the past year and a half. I suck enormously at slower speeds, and development is really slow. What got my motivation up was discovering a motion that suddenly allowed me to reach the higher speeds. It started out almost like a twitching motion, but then again not quite. And I could absolutely not control it in any meaningful way, as starting and stopping was and still is really tricky. But I’m stubborn, so I just kept on doing it, often and for longer periods of time, and also trying out different speeds. The slower ones being trickiest since I get more rebound from the pedal that I need to control in a timely fashion. Well, check it out!
