Thanks for this! I switched from the French to the German bow recently, and I prefer the German bow, but the accessibility to the E string has been challenging. Good tips!

Huge thanks. I found this immensely helpful. It’s been a problem with me and this is the best I’ve seen on the subject. I changed from the French bow as I find the German bow less of a strain with increasing arthritis in the hands. Thanks again. I’ll check your other stuff out.

Thank you David, this is helpful and more or less confirmed what I found through playing that I needed to be dynamic & fluid and shift the bass from the initial 'proper' hold to something more accommodating and productive on the E string. Will check out your course !

Thank you so much for these most helpful tutorials. Im stuck in a town with 1 double bass player/teacher ( who is sadly not very helpful or friendly maybe I just called him at a bad time ??) Im transitioning from eletric bass guitar to the double bass and Im slowly "starting" to get the hand of Arco and Im aware hugely that its a long and winding road. Thank you again for these tutorials id be lost without them. Cheers.

Hello to you all the way from freezing south Africa ( I see the bloody lions have wondered into our garden again ?? ) Im stuck in a town under lockdown with no access to one on one lessons, sadly... so without these tutorials from all you folk at Discover Double Bass Id be lost/drowning/swamped/pulling my hair out/white knuckling my way through Arco practices . Ive just found out that there is a HUGE difference between an electric and acoustic double bass when it comes to bowing .( thanx Seth ) For the last 9 months its sounded like Ive been strangling cows whenever I practice with the bow .I must now somehow swop my electric double bass for an acoustic double bass and in this country you could buy a new car for the price of a decent acoustic double bass and thats only a slight exaggeration. Thank you ALL again for these helpful tutorials , hopefully there will be many more. Cheers. Gavin.

Thank you to share this for beginners or for people like who would like to start at the age of 50.... Well I have a very first question even before to consider to buy this so nice instrument. I have some back pain issue, and it looks like the position of the body and the back is like "curved". Does this instrument is really painful for the back ? Is there a better solution to play with a minimum pain like seated ? Thanks a lot for any feedback on this.

You should be able to play and keep your back straight, both when playing seated and standing. The key is to bend at the waist and not bend your spine. This lesson on thumb position shows you the approach we use when playing the high notes. Also bear in mind that those notes are very high and the vast majority of bassists spend most of their time in the lower positions. discoverdoublebass.com/lesson/double-bass-thumb-position-lesson

if i turn the bass that way in order to play better the string, i feel it more difficult to place the fingers in first half position on the e string, how can this be improved? thanks

It’s impossible to say what the issue with without seeing you play. It may be that moving your thumb toward the G string on the back of the neck when you play the notes on the E string will help position your fingers. However, there’s so many variables with posture it’s hard to say without seeing you play.

@@flaviocruciani8563 Great stuff, i think that should hopefully adjust your arm/hand angle to accommodate the change of the angle of the bass. Good luck with your practice.

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. If you watch on a laptop/desktop you can move the subtitles box on the screen, or just turn them off if that's not possible on your device.
