Do you recommend lifting the pinky finger of the bow hand? It's what you do. Personally, I have larger hands and prefer not using the pinky on the eye like Jeff B. and most methods teach in his windshield wiper drill.

Thanks for watching, Wtf! Great question - It really has to do with context. I lift it off the bow while I'm near the tip of the bow in legato. I keep the pinky on very tight when I'm doing heavy spiccato at the frog. During legato, keeping it on helps me make the turn from up bow to down bow more smoothly. For beginners, I recommend keeping it on the bow until they get comfortable with the sounding point, then I allow them to release it on certain occasions. I hope that helps - be well!

Very nice! What is the opening theme song?

@incrediblyusefulexercises 4 жыл бұрын

John Chambliss thanks very much! The opening is a happy groove that I use to improvise on through my looper and in garage band. The bass line is on my orchestra bass, and the solo stuff is on my solo bass.
