Cool. The most important thing as you know is the sound whereas I find myself often walking with the 2 fingers together on the quarter note. All your exercises do work with that approach as well. Thanks.

What a great tutorial! This helps immensely with my study of the double bass. When I began about four years ago, every thing I read said to always play with one finger, or with the two conjoined on one string. Coming from an electric bass background I found that very confusing. Especially since everything I played involved the first two fingers, and felt more natural to me. Anyway, thanks again for your help in unlocking this wonderful but often overlooked instrument.

So…when you get a blister on one of your plucking fingers - how long until you use that finger again>? Had my bass only 3 days so far and my middle finger couldn’t take it as well as the index

Well, it’s a bit of a grey area. I’ve seen quite a few folks on Reddit arguing about the best approaches. It’s been so long for me personally that I can’t remember exactly what I did other than definitely playing through discomfort. But maybe that doesn’t exactly mean “pain”. I’ve seen (and I think I did this too) advice to carefully pierce the blister and cover it to speed the process. I think one can’t avoid some discomfort, but definitely don’t kill yourself. If both fingers are messed up, try to take a break. Maybe practice Arco for a little while? And also I’ve found that liquid bandage can help quite a bit in this scenario. I hope this was somewhat helpful. Ultimately you want calluses to develop…

I'm glad! Thanks for watching. It's especially helpful to hear today, since yesterday I had a little bit of a troll who complained about the stuff not being advanced enough.

The room is too "live"... Maybe some acoustic tiles would help? Or better mic placement?

I had equipment issues that weekend. The remainder of the videos should be similar to the earlier ones that have better sound
