Can You Recommend a Favourite Technical Exercise? - Classical Masters Q.4

[@Patrick_Bruno]

Joel Quarrington's exercise has been a real eye opener to me.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Agreed! Joel is such an inspiring teacher and player.

[@LilaHorovitz]

Thank you Geoff for all these pearls!!!!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks Lila, I really appreciate that! ....btw, great job with your recent lessons, they are excellent!

[@dāzainmusic]

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!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Agreed! He's a living legend and it would be amazing to cover his technique. It's certainly something we would love to do in future. Thanks for watching.

[@vidlukanarea6280]

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

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Ödön Rácz nr.1!!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Absolutely. He is an incredible bass player who we would love to feature in future.

[@henriettahorvath5422]

What about with Mr.Odon Racz??

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

He’s an incredible bassist! This series is just a selection of the world’s best players and there are others like Odon Racz who we would love to feature in future.

@@DiscoverDoubleBass Ödön Racz has 2 CDs with Deutsche Grammophon. Why isn't he here? Ludwig Streicher celebrates 100 Birthday this year. Ödön Racz is 2. Generation Ludwig Streicher.

[@Opus766]

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]

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

[@francisco3180]

For me it's the bow stroke You make for a fast change from D to G and D to A.

[@vnsteele]

Do you recommend any affordable, bass strings?

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

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.
