In this episode, Charles Gambetta introduces his innovative bass position system that addresses traditional limitations in fingerboard comprehension. His method combines Roman numerals with Arabic numbers to provide contextual information that enhances physical and mental connections during play.

He also demonstrates how this approach benefits various playing styles and has transformed his teaching approach. Enjoy, and be sure to check out Charles' article on this approach in the New York ASTA Journal.   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Thank you to our sponsors!
