Powerful and beautiful and mature sound (old wood sound) of the orchestral bass, my favorite by far. The solo bass looks most comfortable to play but small and "nasal" sound. Thanks for the comparison and congrats for the great performance.

@@martingascavaldovinos791 Thanks so much! I'm glad you appreciated the video. I would agree with your general assessment, when hearing each bass (and its tonal characteristics) on its own. The other angle of this, though, is hearing each instrument in the musical context of other instruments. I haven't had time to do a video on that yet, but I have a feeling it would be very telling. In my experience, playing with a piano in a solo setting (where the bass part is written predominantly in the middle and higher end of its range), the solo bass's tone remains more defined, whereas the orchestral bass doesn't stand out as much, compared with the piano's relatively bright tone and power in the mid-range. And as you would expect, when playing in orchestra or traditional chamber music with the bass part written in a lower tessitura, the orchestral bass fills out the low end and maintains its character with much more presence than the solo bass.

30 minutes? No time left for repertoire study!
@SDSUBassStudio25 күн бұрын
@@gert-janmaas5866 well, it might sound like a lot, but it depends on how much you are practicing, and how you divide up your time. When I was in college, we were expected to spend around 1/3 of our practice time on technique work to both warm up and also to challenge our current skills and limits. So if we were aiming for 3 hours total a day, 1 would be on scales, bowings, and other technique, and then an additional 2 hours on orchestral and solo repertoire. If you count this "warm-up" as part of your technique work, then it is certainly not out of the range of a normal practice day.

Such a great warm-up video! So thorough and well-produced, it really shows how much care you put into these videos. I love this one in particular, it reminded me that I've been neglecting rhythm practice since starting the classical journey. The on/off metronome thing is awesome, I'll be coming back to it for sure! P.S. hell yeah Louis Cole!! Truly an incredible musician and mad genius.

I'm really glad to hear that this one connected with you! As an amateur drummer, it's a topic I have been thinking about a good bit recently, and it took me a while to think through how to logically present all the important points for bass players. There are some other related topics that would be fun to cover in the future--possibly dropping metronome beats in a more classical context. And if you didn't see the link in the video notes, I'd highly recommend checking out the free SBL Groove Trainer app that lets you do this on your own.

I haven't watch all your videos but I noticed that you are carefully muting the strings with the left hand while bowing. I think I could replicate it just by watching the way you position your hand on the fingerboard but I would greatly benefit a short demonstration of your left hand muting technique! Thanks again for all the efforts you put in transmitting your knowledge to the community!
@SDSUBassStudio2 ай бұрын
Yes, you're right: I frequently mute adjacent strings with my left hand. I particularly do this when playing loudly, so that I can use a heavy bow arm without creating too much extraneous noise or extra notes. I will find a way to cover that more in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am glad you found it helpful! I use a metronome app called Time Guru that has a feature to drop out beats at random. But if you go to the link at the bottom of the video notes for Scott's Bass Lessons, you can find out about a free app that they have released that does a similar thing. Very helpful practice tool.

What kind of warm up would you use if you had 10 to 15 minutes instead of half and hour
@SDSUBassStudio4 ай бұрын
When I have less time, I generally combine things, such as long tones on closed notes with vibrato (warming up both hands simultaneously), followed by a few scales and diatonic patterns--all played with good contact in the right hand. But I suppose it would be more helpful to make a video about it then try to explain it :)

Do the noise cancelling headphones help boost the signal at all? Only asking because I tried the same setup with an older Tascam recorded but could barely hear a thing using regular headphones.
@SDSUBassStudio4 ай бұрын
It's possible that some do boost the signal slightly, but we were actually trying this test with the noise canceling off. I personally tend to use my passive Sony headphones for this that have no boost. You might want to double-check that your input level on the tascam is as high as possible without distorting, and that your output level is also turned up as high as necessary. But if both input and output are maxed out, then something else might be going on (?)

And if it's easy to carry with you, it's much more likely that you will use it!

This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing the concept. Wondering about recital prep and doing this with the accompanist... would they benefit? Would your adjustments ot your own playing be different with the piano sound in the room as well?
@SDSUBassStudio5 ай бұрын
That's a really interesting question! Once you add another performer into the equation, I would think that things would get more complicated--especially since we continually make quick adjustments based on what we hear from the piano next to us in that sort of situation. That being said, I would be very curious to try this in a duo situation where both performers have a feed from the distance mic. It might require the addition of a small mixer or headphone amp to the audio chain (on stage, connected to the long extension cord), but that shouldn't add noticeable delay. If you try this out, please let me know how it works for you!

@SDSUBassStudio5 ай бұрын
I'm definitely fortunate to get to play it! And Aaron's modern bass also sounds great. What's so fascinating to me in this particular situation is how much difference the room itself makes, and how it really is a unique skill to learn to "activate" the room with one's instrument. Certain ways of playing that we might expect to sound great when we are in the practice room don't actually sound so good in a big room. And that's why the whole process is so intriguing, no matter what instrument you are playing.
