APPENDIX ONLY - Tao of Bass, Volume I

Following the publication of Tao of Bass, my continued work in pedagogy and performance has led to the development of additional material aimed at further clarifying and expanding upon key technical concepts. This appendix presents a curated set of new exercises intended to supplement the foundational ideas of the original text.

The material herein offers many new exercises and a more detailed examination of specific techniques, most notably the pivot, the fan, and the pianistic application of the thumb, each of which plays a significant role in modern double bass performance. These exercises provide structured, progressive practice opportunities for students and professionals seeking to refine their technical facility and deepen their interpretive insight.
