#88.1 - Classical Thump - Part 1 Practice Video (Patreon)

My fellow bassists, I hope you're doing great!

Tomorrow I'm releasing a video where I teach you how to play Victor Wooten's Classical Thump. It's a great piece to learn because it's a very effective way to practise double-thumbing - Victor actually wrote it as a double-thumb etude for his own practice, at least initially.

The main challenge is just how physically exhausting it is to play, at least if you're new to the technique. There's tons of repetition especially rhythmically, so once you get good at the technique, it's not quite as tough as it sounds. Having said that, don't worry if it takes you a while because it definitely took me a few months of very focused practice to get this one learned!

As always, let me know if you have any questions or comments and I'll make sure to respond ASAP!
