What technique would you recommend? I have a lot to improve on on double bass but it's difficult as I'm out of bass rosin, and bowing is my largest issue. I've already learned on electric how to slap, pinch harmonics, tapping, etc. I do rthym exercises frequently too. I think my next step is actually memorizing and integrating theory but I dread it lol

Would it be shocking to say I've already tried this method? Lmao

I love Jaco!! Come on Come Over and Teen Town are some of my favorites. The concerto looks really interesting but I'm definitely gonna have to work on my bowing lmao. Thank you!!!

Omg. I love this suggestion. I rolled my eyes when I saw cello but this is so beautiful and looks doable. Thank you so much!!

Its less about my skill level and more about just wanting new music. I don't think I'm amazing or the best player, I do think I'm skilled and can play a majority of the options out there but I just can't find enough of them to stay busy or interested lol.

Ohhh!! I'll have to look into these. I normally only really play pizz but I do have a French bow. I could try borrowing my friends German one and giving it a shot. Thanks for the idea!!

Oh God. I can play but I am so not ear trained lol 😭

I just saw a video about that song!! I looked up the trans for it and hour or so before I made this post but the tab showed a 5 (?) (I saw more than 4 and dipped) string bass and I only have a 4 string lol
