In tune is where it starts. Upright players, this is the method. Electric players, this is the warmup.
The New Simandl The modern method for upright bass
Cole DavisThe 1881 method every upright player learns from, rewritten for players who have to swing.
- Cuts shifting in half by using open strings as transition points.
- Unlocks the upper register of the E and A strings.
- Sounds like jazz because it's built around motion, not lockdown.
The 15 Minute Warmup Electric Edition
Cole DavisMake the first tune of every gig as good as the fifth. The same routine Cole runs before every gig.
- Ten exercises, each a written line plus a chord vamp you improvise on.
- Backing tracks with bass and without, plus one master press-play track.
- Right-hand patterns most players never warm up: alternating, raked, and 2-2-1-2.
