Double bass solo Hungarian Dance / J.Brahmus

[TheUsername613]

Im in the 8th grade and I have to play this song for my solo I was wondering if you had any pointers?

[19bassman70]

Are you playing form the original piano score or is there an edition for bass and piano?

Nice playing!

[futurebass09]

i never saw a c extension until 4 years into playing

[ichiro0]

hmm i realised ur fingerboard looks weird at the end.. isit broken or u purposely make one

[eandrewshelley]

Haha its and fingerboard extension and yes it is made on purpose... Do you play the bass?

[ichiro0]

ya i play. 5 years already.. but this is the first time i saw extension. tts y i got curious

[eandrewshelley]

Then you need to get out and see more bassists and basses...

[xpredox]

You're amazing, just amazing.

A couple of questions:

1 - How do you keep the bow from hitting your leg when you play on the "E" string?

2 - Since it's a 6/4 size bass, is that longer than a "full scale?"

[zeroTHEshinigami]

@Muenchies I tend to change my positistion a little back(?) when i play the E string from hitting my leg

[fireblade68]

I have a quick question for you. I noticed your bow has black hair, and ive been thinking about switching to black hair, but how does it preform compared to white Mongolian hair.

[YoshihiroUtsumi]

Thanks for your comment fireblade68, No, I use Dark-Brown hair, (Maestro Stefano Sciascia loves black hair for his wonderful bow.)

White Mongolian hair is always thin, and delicate.. It's nice for thin gauge strings like violin I think, So I use not fine but hard Brown Hair.. with POPS' rosin.

I wish I could play like this...but I'll practice;);););)

[YoshihiroUtsumi]

Thank you very much ReginaU, It's just playing around with contrabass and then it sounds ! Thank you very much !!!

[YoshihiroUtsumi]

[bassrun]

That's amazing. Did you take music theory classes or something? By the way this is probably your best recording.

[Alu999]

You play the piece very good, perhaps too fast but still good.

[YoshihiroUtsumi]

Thank you Alu999, I'm playing around with this song and recorded with friend. I wish you like this funny style !!
