I played electric bass for 8 years and within the last year a double bass fell into my hands. It has become a new love. I auditioned to study double bass at university and i got in. With the right kind of hard work anything is possible.
I've known about this video for years and duck in from time to time, always great to listen to some extremely talented musicians showing off how talented they are. Thankful that the audio quality is still great despite this being uploaded more than 10 years ago.
The guy that that is walking pretty much the whole time inspired me to learn and improvise music. I have been playing bass for almost 5 years and I mostly play jazz music. But some classical. I live in Utah, so if there is anyone near and plays bass, we should get together and play. It would be a lot of fun :)
Wonderful! I like the doublebass a lot, I think it's a cool instrument, which unfortunately is on a background most of the time. It's great that there are guys who bring it to the spotlight!
the guitar and bass guitar(and double bass) are notated an octave higher than sounded. so when a guitarist plays the D below the treble clef, the note that actually sounds is the D in the middle of the bass clef. when a bass plays the D in the middle of the bass clef, the note that actually comes out is the D below the bass clef.
i agree, but i never remember it being hard because of that, it tends to be hard for me because i press TOO hard i haven't played in over a year ='( i miss it although i started playing at a young age, that would be why i never remember having trouble with being tired from playing long?
