Double Thumb Technique for Electric Bass: English Text / Italiano
Book information
Description
Double Thumb Technique for Electric Bass riffs, grooves and effective application in pop songs Carlo Chirio (English/Italiano) Double Thumb is a bass technique considered the evolution of Slap that made famous bass players like Victor Wooten. In reality, even Mr Wooten suggested that the approach is similar to the plectrum technique on the technical level (the thumb has to hit the string down and up with a very different angle to the traditional Slap) and on the phrasing level (solo or accompaniment). Eventually, bass player Marcus Miller took this technique to its highest level by blending Double Thumb and traditional Slap. I have been studying every aspect of this method starting from basic introductory exercises to a much deeper research of its real application in grooves, riffs and, most of all, songs. Futhermore, I have been using this technique, not only, virtualistically and exclusively applied on soloist, but as a personalized and unique introduction into popular songs played with my band. -------- Il Double Thumb é una tecnica bassistica considerata l'evoluzione dello Slap che ha reso famosi bassisti come Victor Wooten. In realtá, come lo stesso Wooten consiglia per l'approccio, é piú avvicinabile alla tecnica del plettro sia a livello tecnico (il pollice deve colpire la corda in giú e sú con un angolazione ben diversa dallo slap tradizionale) che a livello di fraseggio (solistico e accompagnamento). Poi bassisti come Marcus Miller l'hanno portata ai massimi livelli miscelando Double Thumb e Slap tradizionale. Quello che ho voluto approfondire e ricercare in questo metodo, oltre all'apprendimento della tecnica in sé con alcuni esercizi propedeutici, é la sua reale applicazione all'interno di grooves, riffs e soprattutto canzoni. Insomma renderla una tecnica non necessariamente solo virtuosistica da applicare quando si suona da soli, ma propria e personale, facile da inserire quando suono canzoni popolari con la mia band. La scelta di brevi riffs (da 2 a 4 battute normalmente) penso sia un ottimo metodo d'insegnamento che da anni applico con i miei allievi ed é per facilitarne la ciclicitá e la memorizzazione in modo da lavorare su un groove ed interiorizzarlo usando la partitura (e tablatura) solo all'inizio per imparare il ritmo, le note, le posizioni,.. e poi suonarlo a memoria. Il mio consiglio é quello di usare la tecnica, una volta interiorizzata, su altri accordi, quindi trasporre e rendere proprie le figurazioni ritmiche. In fase di studio usare sempre una drum machine o il metronomo per avere costantemente un riscontro di quel che si sta suonando sul tempo e registrarsi il piú possibile avendo cosí l'opportunitá di riascoltarsi a "mente lucida" ed analizzare le imperfezioni, le dinamiche, il timing e l'intenzione. Sul mio sito troverete alcuni video con la base dell'impostazione del pollice per il Double Thumb.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
