Better Intonation in a Week
Bob DeBoo helps you develop better intonation in the upright bass by using our ears as our guides in just one week!
8 days to better intonation.
Playing in-tune is one of the biggest obstacles to upright bassists, given the geography of the fingerboard and that there are no frets or markers to rely on. It’s also a crucial element to our Sound, which in turn helps everybody in the band hear us better – making them play better as well.
By practicing with Bob for one week, you will develop both your ears and your technical skill on the bass, improving your intonation greatly.
Bob incorporates eight practice tracks into the lessons that you will be able to use with him and on your own.
“Sometimes you have to sound bad before you sound good – and that’s a GOOD thing! Acquiring ‘good intonation’ is a journey that never ends.”
