This is how I like to think of it, when playing melodically, major intervals should be wide and minor intervals should be narrow, when playing harmonically major intervals should be narrow and minor intervals should be wide.

Awesome! I'd absolutely like to see a full video on Molly's ideas i you do make one! Thanks for the great work Jason

Yes please! More info!

hehe, i saw the title of the video, and thought, "oh this is for me" lol. Thanks for another one Jason! An eleven minute investment, well worth it!!

Great video, Jason. Kudos on addressing intonation this way. Equal temperament is not always friendly to string players or singers.

This is really GOOD! I've been retired for 20+ years but I still like to learn new stuff. This stuff is good, good, good.👍👍👍

Love the UTRGV shirt! My alumni!

This is so great. I can’t wait to read Molly Sharp’s book and connect it directly to Scott Dixon’s “Resonant Intonation” presentation at the last ISB in Indiana!

Great video! I've generally known about this for decades, but I've never seen it demonstrated so clearly.

I have already bought the book and found it awesome. Thank you for another great video and yes it’s a main topic for a double bass player, I really would love to have more exercise based on this. Pitagora would be proud 😃. Stay awesome!!!

I really appreciated this video. This will help me to continue to sort out what I want to do and why.

Very cool! I'd love to see some thing about playing melodicly in tune as opposed to harmonicly

Wow, Jason. When you played the equal to just Major 6th difference, my brain just exploded.

Thanks for the video! Just one thing I wanted to point out is that in order to get the correct sounding Just Intonation interval on the TE app you have to make sure to to change the the key based on the tonal center. For example playing a Major 6th D and B you'd want to change the key from A to D, the interval will sound drastically different depending on what key is set. Best wishes!

....also a good tool for a "simple" intonation practise by ear is the TUNING-CD by RICHARD SCHWARTZ (MP3-download, available for 440 and 442 hz), actually designed for wind players!

As a bass trombone player this has been very helpful, I don't have multiple strings but I do have Tonal Energy drones to compare my sound to.

Best on intonation that I’ve heard. Thanks Jason and more Molly please. What’s the tuner app?

OMG I have fighting this for years thinking this was a me problem to thinking this is quality of Of instrument problem. I can’t tell how many String and instruments (Basses) I have tried. I feel like a free man. Thank you much 😅

For me...things really started getting better when I chose one scale a month from Rabbath Book 3 and turned on a youtube cello drone. Working through every possible fingering across all 4 Octaves. Then picking the next scale for another month.

Thank you for being a great resource for those of us working to improve. I've turned to your material frequently and found it quite helpful. I'm curious about application of the technique - Is this intended exclusively for practice sessions at home to help with overall intonation and quality of sound? Or can it be applied in an (community) orchestra, jazz combo or other group session play? Not related to this topic but I noticed your headband cam perspective while bowing the exercises. Would you consider augmenting the bow holding video with actual playing examples using the headband cam perspective?

Wonderful video. Lots of good information. The question that comes to mind however is, what is the more useful skill, the ability to play the intervals in Just intonation, or matching a pitch?

Speaking as a section player in a traditional orchestra: I have always pondered the question of intonation in this way - it seems to me that the instruments that have their sound resonators closer to the ear/tympanic membrane seem to be more consistently in tune and when not in tune make the quickest adjustment Thus, thinking about strings - in order of proximity to the ear - violin, viola, cello then double bass perhaps the frequency also contributes to the difficulty of playing in tune on a the double bass - I would love to hear what other players think about this. In a related comment: I have experimented with a learning tool or even for use in performance - what if we had a transducer clipped to the bridge or something similar to the realistic bass pick-up that is then connected to an in ear monitor. (most likely in one ear as the other would be needed to tune to the section) A similar practice tool exists in golf and it is the laser sighted putter - the in ear monitor could assist the player as it would provide instant feed back to the player. Furthermore, another topic that is rarely if ever talked about is the challenge of delay. Initiating the string vibration on a bass (mass greater) even slows the reaction loop to the player even more. When talking with other bassists about these issues - and possible remedies afforded us through technology - most respond dismissively - quoting things like playing in tune is about feel etc. I also get an argument against the in ear monitoring idea based on tradition - we are an acoustic instrument etc. It reminds me of the evolution of the electronic tuner, which took some time to be widely accepted as if it was somehow "cheating") I wonder if the same resistance was present when the first steel string was developed and then came in to wide spread use. I would love to hear what you all think?

What's the name of the app that let you listen to equal or just intonation between intervals? There are some intervals like 6m that just sound awfull when intune that I may just start listening to get used to :')

hi jason, wich app do you download as toner? I have soundcorse but it doesen't play the double interval. Thanks

Sharp…unfortunate surname for an intonation expert 😂
