Positioning your bow arm
Переглядів 6442 роки тому
Minimize lifting your bow arm when moving between strings. Let the tip and frog lead the bow to the string you're going to. If you keep your elbow stable in basically the same position at all times, you'll get much better control over your string crossings, and you wont accidentally use your arm to push the bow into the string.
The figure 8 bowing pattern seen from above
Переглядів 4852 роки тому
Here's a view of the figure 8 pattern of the bow from above. If you follow my tip and frog you can see that I don't pull and push the bow in a straight line but in what I call a figure 8 pattern. Starting from down bow, you can see how the frog goes down and then up again and ends in a high position when you reach the tip.

The two figure eights of bowing
Переглядів 1,9 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I'm describing how to avoid using muscle force to produce sound on a double bass but to instead use the weight of the bow to pull and push the string sideways. By doing this instead of pushing the bow into the string, we can get a rich sound with lots of overtones. #doublebass #doublebassist #doublebassplayer #music #musician #musicstudent #masterclass #musiclesson #doublebasslesson

Переглядів 1,6 тис.3 роки тому
Getting around the bass effortlessly and efficiently should always be the goal with our practice. We spend too much time with difficulties caused by ourselves when we use our muscles in an inefficient or counterproductive way. We all struggle with tension when we're playing and hopefully this could help you free your body a little. In this video I'll talk about how to free your left hand from t...

    Excellent lesson. This is why I love the French bow so much. The hand mechanics with German bow a much different. The arm has no choice but to modulate up/down for each string. Octaves with German bow illustrate this difference. As for etudes that would address this bow technique refinement, check out "storch-hrabe 57 studies vol. 1" etude #9.
