[querar1]

fantastic !!!!!

[SuperLoeve]

let the Bach-Suites for the cellos,hombre!!!!!

[Cypeq]

ekhem perfect ?

[ericksont]

Nice playing, nice tone! I wonder about the interpretation though; it doesn't seem very baroque, everything seems rather disjointed. Regardless, well executed!

[x2bassplayer]

if i closed my eyes i'd think this was a german bow.

[redgun26]

[novembratv]

muito bom ....o mundo te aplaude !

[varok93]

maestroooo!!

excellente

ojala pudiera tocar asi

[surfininalaska]

I'm very curious.......Why is he sitting down? 

Excellent playing, however :D

[JupiterAdept]

Many bassists sit down. Most I've seen. It makes many things easier because balancing the bass isn't a problem anymore. It makes long rehearsals less painful, too.

His way is very cello-like and unusual for bassists, but it definitely seems to work for him.

[brabba]

well i can say for myself personally what sitting does is what many others here have already eluded to, and that is to make things easier. the fact that no part of your body has to be strained to hold the bass in the correct position frees up movement and as well it locks the bass in a position where you arent losing the feel of a note on the fretboard. if you are sitting it gives you consistency of hand positions and allows you to feel where a note is on the fretboard and come right back to it

[phenomenalmzlisa]

That kinda sounds more Like Mozart than Bach... It reminded me of Eine kline Nachtmusik, lol but indeed everyone is entitled to their own interpretation, and you stayed true to it the whole piece. Well done.

[StopTheMoti0n]

how can he read the music from so far away?? i need music like 2 inches from my face to be able to read it :P

[SodaZombie]

May I suggest glasses? lol

[StopTheMoti0n]

lol! yeah... maybe...

geez evry time i see a guy sitting while playing they are sitting a different way, makes it hard to teach yourself lol

[SodaZombie]

Well I don't know anything about upright, I'm but a lowly electric bassist ;), but maybe that means something in itself? I don't know, if they're all sitting a different way maybe there's something small you're not noticing that is key and the rest is just a thing of comfort.

[KatieWoods]

May I ask what type of strings and rosin you use? The sound is so punchy, but is still strong and pure and dynamic.

[sshebassy]

Great job. Personally I like how this piece sounds without being choppy. But I wish I had your intination. Greta job

[topomannaro]

....certo che ce n'è di bravi violoncellisti in giro......

MA CON IL CONTRABBASSO E' MOLTO MEGLIO!!!!

Grandegrandegrande Daniele!!!!!

5 stelle meritatissime. Nicocto

[garotrombo]

Yes.. now I am sure! I saw you playing the henze serenade... you are a playing on solo tuning... lol.. As if it was important!

Why on this key? fingering or sound?

[garotrombo]

I really like the way you play it... but why on E or Mi... any way,sounds great I must say.

And are you playing on solo sordatura also?

Very good work bravo... you gave me a handfull of ideas!
