This is awesome stuff. Particularly for a beginner like me. Thanks Jason for putting this up. Much appreciated -- and thanks, also, to Mr. Anderson for doing this (gratis, I assume).

This doesnt help me out. I use a German style bow.

At what angle does the hair meet the string?

These lessons are fantastic. Thanks very much you have improved my arco technique!

Yep, be prepared to learn different strings and you will usually want to stand up rather than sit down, everything else is similar.

Thnx! I have already started. I had to work out to handle such an oversized cello! I am 5ft only with a half size bass.

I find that understanding the purpose of technique as well as beginning to understand that nobody understands music will help anyone get started on an instrument. If you already play a string instrument then youare at an even greater advantage.
