Jazz double bass scales DEMYSTIFIED! 

I looked through Cole Davis's Scales and Arpeggios (after I paid and downloaded them) and immediately realized, except for the open strings, that many of the notes in these scales are in (what Michael Klinghoffer calls) Block Position. Apparently, it's a Rabbath "thing" too. I highly recommend Klinghoffer' s, "Mr. Karr (Gary Karr) Would You Teach Me How to Drive a Double Bass?" It is a highly informative treatise, and it's funny too! Klinghoffer writes about Block Position in Chapter V, at page 36. (Gary Karr wrote the Preface.) Thank you, Mr. Davis, for writing out these scales. Very cool video, it makes me want to practice! Thank you, Jason Heath. Cheers, ap

Thank you for the video!

Hey, I know those guys! Great video! 🙏

I wish I could like this content twice :)

Fantastico Cole! Grazie mille Jason!

Greg Lake often used open strings to move quickly between arpeggiated guitar chords.

Thank You !!!

Awesome!
