| | | | What is your favorite Double Bass video on YouTube?
I often find myself not knowing which bass videos on youtube are worth watching, so I thought we could all share our favorites. Comment with a link and say why you like the video you chose. I'll start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBkcvFmaVpI
This is Boguslaw Furtok playing the Bottesini Tarantella. As silly as this piece is, I enjoy listening to him play it. He gets great clarity on all the notes, and his sound and musicality are really impressive. His harmonics sound particularly good; the tone he gets on the high A at 3:50 can only be described as "magically delicious".

He starts singing at the :50 mark and it sounds to me like he miiiight have tossed a couple back on the plane as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKZghKZSvNY |

This was a solo that I found fascinating and quite beautifully played....at least to me...but its why I love the bass... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALYntgPGdVk&NR=1 |
