Vibrato on the bass

Rx: Using vibrato on the upright bass.

Includes an exercise freeing noting arm movement and also for keeping the vibrato movement in an up/down motion using percussion accompaniment, and an exercise you can use to develop vibrato while you’re away from the instrument.

Discussion of two challenges for vibrato:

  • changing position/shifting
  • changing bow

Also discussion of thumb position vibrato.
