beautiful voice

@truebrightdreamer Also, your pizzicato is very weak compared to her's, I would pay close attention to the placement of her right hand if I were you.

If you're measuring her "bass skills" by your narrow-minded and ignorant classical standards only, you're gravely mistaken. You have no place to say anything like that about someone who knows more about this style of music than you do. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but you disgrace musicianship with your elitist and immature boasting. I suggest you find something else to do, as you are no genuine artist. ANYONE can learn to play classical music with enough money and practice.

@truebrightdreamer I am a Double Bass music major in college, classically trained and playing classical music since I was four. That doesn't make me any better of a musician than her or you, though I definitely have more playing experience, and I am far more versatile than you will ever be with your current mindset. No true musician can see musicianship as a quantitative measurement of one's qualitative artistry. A real musician is well-rounded and accepting of different musical styles.

Please put up a video of you singing country music. I'm on the edge of my seat.

No never heard of bowed bass anything and don't want to. Don't try to force your music on bluegrass musicians. Don't believe this video was aimed at you longhairs. Bluegrass don't use a bow, I throwed my bow away when I bought my bass. Don't ever intend to play your kind of music.

@truebrightdreamer

If you don't like it, no problem. So happens many of us do. There is no other lind of music to us. Your kind of music is like listening to a buffalo passing gas. Point is we don't like the same music.I played in an orchestra, but I'd rather play what I love and thats country and bluegrass. Whatever plucks your strings
