practicing editing on imovie - let me know what you guys think about the playing, and if there is a better program for syncing video. (imovie has a lot of "guess and check" work)

-Mark Morton. Get everything of his. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] -Edgar Meyer. One of the best. Though most of his stuff is not traditional rep Invalid Link Removed -everything and anything by Catalin Rotaru. I only know of one recording he has published ("bassic cello notes"...

if you use an open D in the Dmaj7 chord, what string are you going to play the C# on? The A string? If so, then which string are you going to play the F# on? If you are going to "roll it" with a bow or your fingers, fine. If you are playing pizz, and you want all the notes to sound...

Invalid Link Removed Chatted briefly with Mark the other day, and he said the recording is finished. Should be released this summer or fall. That crazy guy played the bass AND the piano on this one!

the bass part, that is written above the piano part, is at concert pitch. Piano players don't want to look at a transposed part. When you play an E in solo tuning, it sounds an F#. Secondly, it would be not an impossible task to edit the bass part so it matched the piano score.

are your goals as a student clear to your instructor?

Bb7=Bb(R) D(3) F(5) Ab(b7) C#(#9) there is a Db triad spelled out in a Bb7(#9)

here is a small list of tunes that work great with a bow: Misty Have You Met Miss Jones? Someday My Prince Will Come Bye Bye Blackbird I Fall In Love To Easily Days of Wine and Roses I prefer to play the above tunes with a bow for really only one general reason. With a bow, I can...

you just blew my mind. it's so simple now....

for example, in the key of G, a G major chord has a significantly lowered B for a 3rd, and a slightly raised D for a fifth. No problem. What about a B minor chord, or iii chord, in the key of G? Should we use the lowered B for the root of the iii chord? Which intonation system would be best...

the Eb of an Ab major chord is actually higher in pitch than the D# of a B major chord. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Dr. Mark's books have fast(efficient) and slow(lyrical) fingerings for 1, 2, and 3 octave scales/arpeggios in all tonalities, in every key. There is also a "suggested manner of practice" section that covers variations in bowing.

The "E" (9th fret) below the octave harmonic is the dividing line for me. All whole steps until the next "E" (21st fret) are 1-3.

@ mcnach: just to clarify for you, I was suggesting that a more composed manner of playing would exude dignity. What he is doing exudes immaturity or lack of self-control. And it looks like ****.
