Members In Absentia Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm really wanting to get into URB playing. I really want to get into jazz and I'm also interested in learning how to bow. What would you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simandl, New Method for Double Bass is an excellent book. http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_detail.html?item=96799&cart=34360055752787075&cm_re=289.1.4-_-Results+Item-_-Title It's the one I used to learn my double bass skills.

Moderators Kindness Posted November 18, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2008 Without any sense of sarcasm, I'd recommend an instructor and whatever resources he/she recommends. I would never recommend learning to play the double bass from a book or without an instructor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've said that was where I learned my double bass skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members In Absentia Posted November 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 I def. plan on getting an instructor. I guess I'm looking for supplemental materials. I just wondered if there were any standards out there that make the process more bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
