One of the key elements of Doug’s playing style was his unique and pioneering use of his thumb in a downward and upward motion. This technique is now commonly referred to as “double thumbing” and used by several high-profile bass players, most notably Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and Stanley Clarke. One of the earliest recorded examples of Doug Rauch using this approach is the song “Attitude” on the Giants album (released in 1978, but recorded in 1971). The song “Look Up (To See What’s Coming Down)” from Santana’s 1972 album Caravanserai is also a good early example. Although Rauch used a good amount of conventional two-finger right-hand technique during his Santana years, he used double thumb style more or less exclusively later on nobably with the Lenny White and the Billy Cobham / George Duke bands.
