So much skill for 'not alot of sound.'
Excellent
Very cool
I'm invesigating seated playing due to health problems, the tips around leg position were really useful! Being 6ft 2 I often wondered where to put my right knee so I don't catch it on a downbow!
Even if I don't know a lot of names, your content is great to watch, despite this very niche instrument. Thank you!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. :-)
Super helpful tips, I’m learning as an electric bassist and had a lot of pain
Glad it helped! Be sure to check out our beginner's lessons such as this one on our website if you're having pain. discoverdoublebass.com/lesson/using-arm-hand-weight-the-balance-point
@@DiscoverDoubleBass will do, didn’t expect it to be as different as it is
i play double basss
And what about the tunning of the "small strings" between the bridge and the tail piece? I feel that when they are in tune the bass resonates more but how to get that in tune? All the best
I've never looked into that, but I think you can tune the after length of the string with special bridges.
This is an excellent lesson- thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much...
FANTASTICO!!! SOU BAXISTA E AMO VER SEUS VIDEOS . BRASIIIIIIILLLL
David's knowledge and delivery of information is so accessible, It makes me wish I played German bow.
Thanks Doug. He's such a great communicator!
He's a gone cat. A real gone cat. I can see him playing in a coffee house in the 50s behind Alan Ginsberg reading poetry.
Accurate, Clear and Extremely Useful. Preciso, claro y extremadamente útil. Bravo, Maestro. Cheers From México City!
Such great info-bravo, Dave!
Such a sweet lady! Great musician, she has a lot o charm!
I've recently discovered upright bass, qish I had the talent to play
You can do it :-)
Extraordinary. What type of strings are on that bass?
Spirocore Weich. 👍
Wouldn't "negative slope" make the bass unplayable with the bow?
The Bach was phrased around his shifts rather than the musical line…something I have found to be very common when listening to double bassists play Bach..
I disagree. I think David phrases the line first and picks fingerings and shift patterns that work for the musical line as he imagines it.

Excellent instruction! tell my students that vibrato is like a powerful herb you add to your favorite suauce.... It is easy to overdo.
Fabulous lesson ( as always ) such an eloquent information view of German Bow. I'm a newcomer so its really great.
Thanks. That was great. Does anyone have any ideas for simple bow excercises for jazz guys?
We have an entire jazz bowing course on DDB, as well as numerous free lessons by Olivier Babaz which you might enjoy. Here's the links Course courses.discoverdoublebass.com/p/jazz-bowing Lessons discoverdoublebass.com/lesson?author=5cb09a7c53450a7441c01b86#show-archive
Very interesting
I've taught this concept for many years. I instruct students to rest fingers that are not actively engaged with stopping the string. This practice teaches them to stay close to the strings rather then flying away from them. More importantly, it teaches them to find recuperation time while they are playing.
That course significantly and almost immediately improved my playing. Thank you both!
very very good!!!👍👍 thank so much! Cheers.
Thanks David for the video and your masterclass. It solved many years of struggle for me and I very much wish I would have found it sooner. It’s been essential for me in finding a better approach to the bow.
Damn y'all make great content
Always love his videos....thats why I bought his German Bow course from years ago. ***Is that one of those Bernard Walke Bows that David is playing? Interesting that he has some kind of black rubber wrap type thing just off the screw part - above frog. Wonder if that eases some pressure on the hand. Never seen that.
I am 95% sure that is a bow by Jordan Scapinello.
Great, thanks!
Tone for Days beautiful !
Gorgeous Tone !
This gotta be some of the best music i ever heard
nice !
Jorge is an amazing player and a nice person too!!! Great combination 🙌🇵🇪
Thanks, it was such a pleasure to meet him and hear him play.
Wonderful Caroline! 😍
I'm trying to learn jazz bass quickly, and these videos are really helpful! I'v played bass for 5 years now, and I'm apart of many different groups, but jazz is a new thing for me. These videos help a ton!
That's great to hear. I'm so pleased you're enjoying them. We also have a free library of lessons for jazz bassists at discoverdoublebass.com/jazz-lessons-directory in case you want to explore more of what we offer.
Awsome so even and consistent yet swing will uproot the whole thing.
Love this guy.
Keeping an emery board at the practice station is an incredible tip.
Awsome creativity
What mic is being used there? U87?
I can't remember, but it wasn't a u87. Possibly an M47 or perhaps a replica of one.
The first one is so nice. Then the second one....wow. like all acoustic instruments. Total diversity. Where do i look so it doesn't take a year to find one?
Great interview. Hes a great teacher.
You are both Fantastic... John Goldsby best jazz teacher by far . I have bought your amazing concept book some years ago which is the less i did to thank you. ❤❤
Thank you! :-)
