  • can anyone recommend an easy/intermediate but good classical tune i can learn on my bass, i bought my bass with rock and roll in mind but would like to try using the bow??

  • @KRSpodcast Try the Bouree 1 and 2 from the Bach Cello Suite no. 3 arranged for double bass in G major. Ask your local music store if they have something like that. For a reference, watch on YouTube /watch?v=0VDmvuyKOyU Hope it helps!

  • @Hiarch123 A 18 year old as well ^^. But just never give up. I just love the sound of double basses, the possibilities and everything. But I hate it when I search for double bass on youtube but all I see is two bass drums :D. Why can't the contrabasses be shown first. :D

    Good for me was that I had the chance to fool around a bit on a double bass :D last week. It was pretty cool even if it must have sound horrible :D. Holding it in your hands gives you power already and playing it even more.

  • why do some people hold the bow like that and some people hold it like on a cello? Is there an advantage to one way or the other?

  • bravo!

  • cool german bow!

  • @KRSpodcast The 3 duets from J.S. Bach's English Suits is intermediate/hard but It's good for practice with a bow...and Minuet by Bach is an easier piece for bowing you can find both online for free as well I hope it helps :)

  • Just started playing my bass and I'm trying to find something I can do for solo or ensemble thats classical and kind of challenging this looks like a good peice to do it sounds so great

  • Makes me want to start playing again. I miss it so much.

  • I just love double basses. I have been playing one for a year now. You're definitely one of my idols. You play so well :)

  • @UnnecessarySarcasm I have a bass guitar and a keyboard. I could make an orchestra on the keys, but if I ONLY HAD a Double-Bass or Cello. The I could be legit.

  • Such a wondrous and magestic sound! I wish I one... I only play electirc bass guitar:\
