[@bolillo5013]

I've always wanted to try playing German-style; I appreciate the lesson.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks. I'm glad you like the video and good luck with the German bow. :-)

[@hanapaculova3398]

That course significantly and almost immediately improved my playing. Thank you both!

I absolutely love this series!!! Great job! I remember the tv newscast with Jeff at the beginning of the pandemic.. I’ve been committed since. Thanks for all of your work!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

That's awesome. Thanks for sticking with us! :-)

Thanks David for the video and your masterclass. It solved many years of struggle for me and I very much wish I would have found it sooner. It’s been essential for me in finding a better approach to the bow.

Fabulous lesson ( as always ) such an eloquent information view of German Bow. I'm a newcomer so its really great.

The Bach was phrased around his shifts rather than the musical line…something I have found to be very common when listening to double bassists play Bach..

[@stewartrosen4218]

I disagree. I think David phrases the line first and picks fingerings and shift patterns that work for the musical line as he imagines it.

[@BrucekyPlush]

@@stewartrosen4218 convincing argument 👍🏻

[@calembourman2295]

Unfortunately many cellists also adopt a wrong phrasing because of technical matters... but not only.

[@Gandharvasauls]

Great, thanks!

[@luigiluigi1652]

Very interesting

[@Fretlessness]

Damn y'all make great content

[@roblegg3983]

Always love his videos....thats why I bought his German Bow course from years ago. ***Is that one of those Bernard Walke Bows that David is playing? Interesting that he has some kind of black rubber wrap type thing just off the screw part - above frog. Wonder if that eases some pressure on the hand. Never seen that.

[@MichaelGaisbacher]

I am 95% sure that is a bow by Jordan Scapinello.

[@DaveRussellShatner]

Thanks. That was great. Does anyone have any ideas for simple bow excercises for jazz guys?
