Thanks for all these great fundamental videos Jason. I can't find a teacher in my city, so you are the closest thing I have. I've been working through your introductory course on DDB. As a new bass player I found I was putting too much rosin on my bow for the first month or so, which would constantly leave a sticky buildup on the strings that I would have to clean off. What should someone do if they find themselves in this position? Will it eventually come off with more playing?
could you please give some advice on how to get a good start of a note, you know, how to have a good attack on each bowstroke and getting rid of the noise prior to the note vibrating.
I can't anticipate Jason's response, and wouldn't presume to, but as a bass teacher myself I would say that part of a practice session should be isolating this particular problem and attempting to solve it through intelligent experimentation. The most important thing while experimenting in this way is to concentrate - once the mechanics of the experimental bow strokes have been sorted out - on the actual sound you are producing at a range of different dynamic levels.
The human brain is terrible computer: it forgets things very easily. The great virtuoso, Gary Karr, would spend two hours, every day, warming up (essentially re-teaching himself the instrument). It’s OK to go back to basics all of the time. Everyone does it.
