"fun and danger", that's why we love the bass! ;-)

There's not another person on the internet that motivates me to study Arco more than this Professor. Amazing analysis.

[@simonecanaparo9168]

"the reason to live to play this piece" works also as "the reason to live, to play this piece" . Great, comma or not. I love the way you teach, the way you play, Mr. Lieberman.

Great master class, great master, this is one of my favorites pieces of the orchestral repertoire.

What is that 'thing' on the head next to the lower string?

[@michaelsinger20902]

It’s an E-string extension, allowing playing below the usual open E.

[@basedmonke3471]

As i’m new to bass, i’m terrified by this. I can barely switch hand positions. His hand is going way too fast for me.

Hi, young cellist here! You're 2+ months in on your journey of being a bassist. It will all come together in time and practice. You will be surprised at what you can do in your first year alone!
