Lesson 3 – basic fretting hand technique
Q’s: Should I use different approaches wether I play a fretless of fretted UBass?
How can I do warm-ups? Basic fretting techniques?
In Lesson 3 the focus is the fretting hand. From where and how to put your fingers on the fretboard to get the best sound to warm-up exercises and more.
With pictures and video examples.
In my videos there is almost always at least two angles including my ”players-view-angle”. That angle lets the player see a natural view of the fretboard and body of the ubass from above.
The ”players-view-angle” is, in my opinion, a great way to get the most out of learning techniques from a video.

My parents bought my first ubass at a music store in Honolulu, Hawaii while visiting the islands. I had not been able to try one beforehand. It only took me a very a few moments getting acquainted with the short scale length and rubbery strings. After that I have gotten more and more in love with the feel and sound of the ubass. Hope you have or will get the same feeling for these amazing instruments! Read more about my first encounter here!
