Would love to hear more in-depth from Renaud, especially regarding right-hand technique, playing with minimal effort, and improvisation; he's been quite the role model for me ever since I picked up the upright. Thank you for these videos!

This may be a 35 min video, but by now I’ve seen 2 exercises and they took me two very productive hours already :D

Do you recommend any affordable, bass strings?

@DiscoverDoubleBass 4 жыл бұрын

That's a tough one as they are all quite expensive. The most popular makers are Thomastik, D'Addario, Pirastro, so I would search for those and see if you can find any deals online. Good luck with your bass playing.

What do you think the purpose of the Karr exercise is? Avoiding accidental double stops? Or is it just his way of getting a good tone from the string?

@DiscoverDoubleBass 4 жыл бұрын

String crossing exercises can really help you to play faster, more accurately and with a cleaner sound.
