fatback Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Trying to get going with Tarlton's Sevcik and wondering if there's any videos out there that might help. can't find anything on youtube. A pic = words X 1000 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) I don't think that there will be simply because the variations on each exercise can take at least an hour ( or more in some instances ) to get through ! The Art of the Bow springs to mind as a video technique resource ...I guess you could always post on here and see if anyone can help !

[/quote] I had in mind more something demonstrating key parts of the material rather than laboriously going through the whole thing. Like most music books, it leaves lots of stuff about how to execute the exercises to a notional teacher to explain. For example, where it says that for rests the bow should stay on the string, it's pure guesswork what this actually means when you have to get from the upper to lower halves of the bow. That sort of thing. So easy if you could only see it. I have the 'Art of the Bow' and brilliant it is too. I quit trying to bow a while back and Art of the Bow makes such sense I'm giving it ago again. I'm a hopeless Rabbath fanboy, I know; but that's because he thinks things through in a way that I don't associate with music teaching, where mostly it's done that way cos it's always been done that way.

FLoydElgar Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 @Fatback, Might be worth getting some lessons with a Classical tutor, if you are unfamiliar with his terminologies and need help with dat bow! _f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty scenery here, but not much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLoydElgar Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Then make a commute or online with a decent webcam for regular bass lessons or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo200 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I saw Neil last night and he would be up for giving a Skype lesson. Best to email him first via his website [url="http://www.neiltarlton.com"]www.neiltarlton.com[/url]. Good luck! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatback Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Kind thought damo, but Skype video is virtually unusable for me. 200kb upstream at best. Third world stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
