In this lesson, I take a detailed look at the left-hand thumb technique for double bassists. I also explore potential problems you may have and explain how thumb technique relates to utilising your arm weight. These are both crucial aspects of upright bass technique and I would recommend making sure you playing in the best possible way as it can affect your tuning, shifting and dexterity.

Best of luck with your playing and if you have any questions or want to share your own ideas for this technique, please leave a comment below the video.

Best of luck with your playing,
Cheers Geoff
