Dr Morton, you sound better on this bass then any of your other instruments. It looks uncomfortable from the size, but it's far superior.

My teacher had told me to play the dotted eighth noted staccato, but just earlier today I was thinking that it didnt seem to fit with the piece! Interesting timing

I’m really struggling on the quick bits. Any tips?

[@ositoCastro]
