Oh and a little PS. We’ve added the interactive notation for most of the performances already. They’re synced up with the video. We’ll resume work after the holidays! It takes about 3-6 hours per performances to write / edit / sync up the notation!

Hi Carl, we don’t plan on going out of business anytime soon haha, that’s only worse case scenario. But let me ask you another question: things that you bought 20-30 years ago (like books,CDs , cassettes), have u never lost maybe one or two things? At any rate, we’ve been in business for 8 years...

Hello! And we’re done! I posted a link to facebook up there where I posted little clips, you can also follow my company’s instagram (DC Music School) for clips. Close to 10 hours of usable footage! We left no stone uncovered! Every single Gary Karr secret is revealed. We even have tons of...

Today’s session was quite good. Went through a lot of detailed explanations of all his basic philosophies regarding the instrument (the leaning forward concept was explained in great detail). Those who have studied with him probably know that he hates Simandl and that he’s not a dogmatica...

Hello folks, I’ve uploaded a few videoclips on my facebook page www.facebook.com/dcmusicschool

Funny you guys mention him. My assistant in this Karr project is a student of Joel’s. In fact, Joel is second on my list of bass players to work with, if people respond well to the Karr project. It’s a bit of uncharted territory, because as far as my research shows, no one has done things in the...

Will ask him! We talked already a lot about learning to engage the back and shoulder muscles for the bulk of movements in playing. Even at the age of 76 he is still physically very strong (he exercises regularly). He mentioned that recently, certain things changed in his playing as a result of...

Thanks for the comments! Will definitely try to get as much as I can from him. He’s mentioned that he’s not a very dogmatic person and since everyone is different, he often gives conceptual explanations and offers various solutions for students to try out. Some students don’t like this approach...

Hello, it’s me again! Well, I’ve now arrived in the home of Gary Karr, where I will spend an entire week with him trying to get as much info from him as possible. I brought a classical bassist with me to help with the lesson plan and topics. Had an entire afternoon of conversations that were...

From watching a lot of instructional videos and even traveling the world to take lessons with various players, it seems that everyone has a different idea of what is the right way to bass, so I want to make it clear that this is a portrait of the artist and not a "How to" video. I 'm interested...

Thanks for your reply! I have asked a few of his former students, but if there are others here who would like to chime in then please do. The artist in question for this project is Gary Karr. I want to make this as comprehensive as possible but also not waste time doing things that people may...

I’m in Montreal (not a bass teacher though). I don’t know how well you already play electric bass, but if you’re fairly accomplished already and you’re not quite sure what you want to do on the DB, then I would start the first few months of double bass self-taught. There are lots of resources on...

Hello! It’s my first post here! I ‘ve been reading this forum for a year now and have learned quite a lot! I’m a professional guitarist but amateur bassist as of a year now. I love it so much that I’m now asking questions here! My main job is that I run an online music video lesson site where I...
