Lay off him already, he's entitled to his opinion as much as anybody. Though I disagree with him on this point, I do enjoy the music.

he ist just funny. But if you compare his playing and sound (!) with other double bassists he seriously doesnt belong to the best. He is an entertainer not really a great musician.

BRAVO behjoh - All Gary Karr videos are an historical document.
BRAVO!!!!!

Yep. Though, in my circle, we call them "Vomit Exercises". Both names fit..."throw up" because you're throwing your hand up and down, and "vomit" because....well, that's what it sounds like.
Anyway....it's such a valuable tool, and yet not enough bassists warm up with it. I hear Gary does them for 45 minute sessions in KarrKamp.

@eliseoborrero: One side note, "Almost impossible to play 100% in tune on any piece with shorter than whole notes at 4/4.
Unless you're Andre the Giant, or similarly scaled.

That Karr vguy is a very Scratsy bassplayer...

That's because the "Amati" Bass is a little smaller than a regular bass. There is a video from Jason Heath that explains it. I'm assuming you know that the tuning of this basses is one step higher so maybe the resonance is better on a smaller body. I'm not a scientist but I'm thinking maybe it's like a cello or a violin. The higher the tuning the smaller the body. That would explain the brighter sound. Maybe someone can give more info about this.

I understand. The thing is, the man has made an intire life of recitals and played in the best orquestras in the world. To pick his level of performance takes,although, an intire life as well. I only chose the MOST FUNNY videos, If you see his workshops and concertos, you`ll know what I mean. Thanks for your comment, Big hug,

i have a old tape of Leonard Bernstein narrating Peter and the Wolf on one side and St. Saens's Carnival of the Animals. Gary Karr plays "the swan" and is said to be 20 years old in the recording. :)

He has an amazing sense of style and feel, but my only anal nitpick about his playing is intonation. I still love him as a bassist overall, I mean.....He's Gary Karr. What more can be said.
