Preparing an IG Video: Mozart 41 | Joseph Conyers, Double Bass

[@talondavis2469]

Tremendous mix of technical skill with theoretical knowledge to bring to life some of the greatest music ever written. I think I speak for many others when I say I hope that you continue to bring a modern update to the legendary Robinson orchestral audition bootleg tape that has guided so many orchestral bassists for decades.

🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thanks so much, Susan! I didn't know how much I'd enjoy making all is these videos, but it's actually fun. I love connecting with so many people, and I just hope there are young musicians who can find this information helpful. These cats out her can play these days; I'm trying to keep up with them! 😝 Be well, and I hope to finally meet some day! 😄

Joseph, I am always so impressed with your bass playing on IG and KZbin! Your styling and phrasing advice was really great! I’m preparing Mozart 41 to play with the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra at the end of our season, so this video was really helpful! Thank you! Please make more videos like these!

[@josephconyers7854]

Hi Joseph I’ve played electric bass for a while most Gospel and Jazz, and started playing upright couple years ago and started bowing last week in prep for a performance with a local orchestra. That video was very helpful as I’m learning the technique. Is it better to bow while sitting or standing?

[@stevegilmore]

Less talk more playing!!

[@Symphing12]

I wonder if you wanted to play the E, C, and F# all on the G string instead of crossing over to the D string? That's probably how I would do it myself as a Bassist.

[@josephconyers7854]

As I always say, there are lots of ways to peel a cucumber! 😂
