My first attempts with the Double Bass
First a short riff
then with a backing track I found on you tube. ( playing the first 12 bars only as it is repeating itself)
This is an amazing instrument.
The strings are thick and hard and the fingers need to press hard and at the right height to get the right tone out.
I am having such fun to try it and am very happy when I can play/improvise with a Blues Backing track.
I will always look at Double Bass players with great admiration.

You are amazing, Ute!
Thank you, I totally love it. I just extended the hire another month. π
Wonderful!
π β₯
Oh, Wow! Thatβs so great. Ute. Kudos to you. Youβve really got it. Soon be playing in a jazz group. ππ»π
Thanks, my teacher said with the roots I learnt, I could almost do it. π I want to go to one of his gigs in the pub. π
That sounds like fun.
It does π
Wow Ute this is so fabulous. Go you!! ππ»ππ»πΆ
I am Liz, thanks, I totally love it! β₯
Loved hearing you play! Brilliant sound. ππΆ
Thank you so much, I am in love with it and it is an absolut amazing experience.
Love it! You’ll be doing the clubs next πππββοΈ
Haha, yes sure! π
This is BRILLIANT! I am sitting her smiling so grandly at the joy of this. Well done UTE!
Thank you. It is such a joy! I never thought I enjoy it THAT much. I love it!
I have tried so many different instruments. I have had fun, but I am no good at it!
It is important you have fun, so trying is great. Like that you had a go and know if it is fun and if it is for you! π You might expect too much of yourself. I do have great respect for all player who play instruments really well. Hard practice and discipline is the key!
That is the truth. Though I have a passion and desire to play….and I did give it a very good go, I would constantly have words and doodles running through my mind. Which is ‘the’ passion. But I did enjoy it. Who knows what my next attempts will be!
Everyone has different passions and I do love your amazing words with the doodles, I could not do them. Enjoy them and do more! π β₯
Oh! Thank you Ute!!!! I miss doing them. I kind of thought they were ‘too much’ for ‘here’. So thank you for saying this.
wonderful! I loved it! β€
Thank you , i just love it too! β₯
HI Ute,
How awesome! I can hear the passion you have for it!
The jazz clubs are just around the corner!
I am a fan!
Wishing you a blessed weekend! β₯β₯
Oh yeah! Thank you, love it!
Wow ! Kudos to you for going for your goal of learning to play this formidable instrument.
Thank you, a long time dream of mine! I’m blessed I can do it now !
WOW!! Fantastic! My husband liked listening too! Too bad you can’t bring it when you come to visit, he plays the drums and you could jam together! π΅π΅π΅π΅

Yay jamming is good. I’ve started to accompany my partner’s guitar play- it sounds rather nice!
That’s great that you’re jamming together, makes it more fun! π π
Definitely! Yes β₯
Awesome, Ute!
It’s so wonderful that you are learning how to play this instrument, now.
Never had the chance to lay hands on a double bass. Only attempted to learn a bit of guitar playing, once – but despite my beautiful long fingers (as everyone kept telling me I had), I still could not bend the bones in them (which I felt I had to). π€
Long fingers they usually say piano is the best….. π I do love this instrument and it is such good fun!
Piano … no-one told me that, before, but I can validate this. Good training for the muscles without overbending my long legiments. – And: It sound great in concert with the double bass. π
It does , yes! π
WOW I played one of those as a youth. YOU sound great!!!
That is wonderful and thank you for your lovely compliment. β₯
