This instrument needs more love. I mean really? The bass is very unique but people gather around the cello or violin at school. Which kinda makes me feel a bit left alone but at least people try to play mine. They always ask me how can I play such a instrument, which makes me kind of happy that I get attention. My orchestra is small just to let you know.
I just wanna say that this video made me switch to bass 5 years ago and now I just finished my regional concert and am about to audition for all state as bassist. Also this guy’s tone in the higher positions is amazing.
Lauren H it's the same thing with all instruments really, looking at you hands to see if your playing the right notes is fine every once in a while. But if you look at your hands too much you're looking at your hands more than the music, and you'll probably end up playing something wrong because you don't know whats coming next in the music.
It is fine to do if you know what your playing next and counting. However, it is possible that your teacher is also trying to get you to rely on your ear. It's always ok to look over though if you know the piece.
NegativeZerøs I agree! I feel like almost every bass-line like instrument needs to be recognized, even if it’s popular already. They need to be recognized in a different way, for cello at least.
10/10 bass playing. I also play double bass and it's so nice to see another guy that loves bass playing as much as I do. It's so hard to find double bass solos on the internet. Again great job :D
Hey, I have a question about double bass. I'm a bit unfamiliar with them but I'm trying to make an animation with someone playing it. Since there's no frets, how do you know where to put your fingers on them? Is it just pure muscle memory? I'd assume if your finger's even a slight bit off it would sound off key, so how does that work? I'm a drummer so my knowledge of even regular bass guitar is limited.
Mr. Brock Lee So for the double bass, yea it's based off of muscle memory, and you would also need to know what it sounds like when it's in tune. And yeah if you are just a bit off it sounds a bit terrifying. I will also give you some bonus knowledge on the bass guitar, since it has frets it is really hard to not get your notes in tune, besides if you just didnt put your finger right on the fret or your bass was out of tune. And I think you have heard that the bass is also like the drums. So to answer your question yeah it is based off of muscle memory, and training your ear to hear the right note.
Ah, thanks! So if it's muscle memory and just having a good ear, then more power to double bassists! I'd imagine it would take a long time to learn that.
Shout out to all the bass players lol, y'all are the backbones of the orchestra (at least ours is for us, we would probably descend into chaos without him lmao)
I play the violin, but we need more bass players in the world tbh. There are a lot of violinists and cellos, but I don't see a lot of violist, and definitely not a lot of bass players.
God i just love the deep hum of this bass it pretty much sings to my soul, and makes my ears has an eargasm. Especially when he pluckes the strings hearing the deep soul of it sing to everyone listening
TheSuperGamer Good luck with it! In my small school orchestra of woodwinds, I'm the only violinist, and with it, the only string player. It can get a little bit lonely, and nobody really understands much about your instrument, but it's worth it! Follow what you want to play, and it'll pay off, I promise.
I play bass and watch these videos. I do it becuase it's nice to see comments from other bassists, it makes me feel less lonely lol. There's going to only be one bassist in my orchestra when I go to school again unless someone new joins. I'm trying to get an amp so I can actually be heard, but it'll still be lonely back there. Oh well, bass is worth it. I've been playing for four years and absolutely love it. Say hey if you're a bassist :)
I’m 12 years old and I played the violin for 8 years! I have played duets with cellos, basses, violas, and many more instruments. I love the double bass sound!😊
I'm a cello player, and I am pleased to see how such an instrument like the double bass can take a melody like de Canon in D and make it sound more warm and lovely. Specially in the minute 2:00 or so. This reminds me that us, low instrumented cad actually do the job when we want to! Loved it! ♡
the bass is a beautiful instrument. i play it in my high schools orchestra and i couldn’t have made a better decision. yes, learning the bass is quite tough and i’m still learning because i’m new to orchestra, but eventually i’ll be like the other bass players in my orchestra. the bass definitely needs more love
It takes a lot of talent to make the bass sound really good! He can really make it sound like a cello while I'm here barely being able to play Eb on the G string without making it scratchy. Nice job!
Watching this made me wanna get back into music. 33 years old, I played drums and stand up base in both school and a non profit organization named sweet strings. I miss those days. I played this song and it's my moms favorite from watching me play as a teen
I played the viola (another underrated instrument) for three years, until one day, I picked up a bass 3 weeks before festival and I played better than the actual bass player! I ended up replacing him, and played bass for the jazz band that year. I haven't played in a while but the thought of picking up my instruments again is calming. Although it was a mere accident, picking up that bass was an amazing moment for me.
Delightful. Francesco is showing people all around the world that the bass can be a source of great pleasure. Keep playing Francesco and we will keep watching & listening .
Lovely! I am a bass guitar player, and have been interested in playing one of these, and how it compares in different genres. Seeing how it's done without frets for starters! I love the bowing techniques, so much smoother than 'pluck, pluck, pluckety pluck' all the time. I agree with earlier comments, this instrument needs more love than it gets, in the classical world, the violins & cellos get the spotlight, in rock/jazz etc. the guitars/saxophones/trumpets get the spotlight, the bass is just, well, there! But basses are like the brakes on a car... you only notice them when they're not there!
ART!!!! THIS IS PURE ART FOR MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!! i could listen to bass music for hours streght! violin and bass are my favorites and this is just beautiful!
This instrument needs more appreciation. We had a day in orchestra where we could play other instruments, and me being the only bass in mine, almost the whole class came up to me asking me to show them how. At the end our teacher asked us about the instruments and everyone was like “I have so much appreciation for people who play the bass” well thanks
I have already started the cello, and when school starts back up again I will learn to play the bass, I know the first eight notes notes of this song on the cello and will use my knowledge of the instrument to get a head start on the bass.
It's not the same it only the same notes but completely different fingerings you are not supposed to use third finger only for harmonics and there are so many positions and you shift all of the time
I need this played at my funeral. And I would like it by bass. DOUBLE bass to be exact. Honestly we should give the bass more love, it's such a beautiful instrument.
I play the bass too and this was very good. Very nice sounding. I honestly have watched this video over and over because it is absolutely amazing. Keep it up
That was so awesome!! I started playing bass a year ago and I just love it so much. I'm not the best right now but someday I really hope to reach your level :) well done!
I’m a Cellist. And i really think Double bass needs more love and pieces written for it! For now i’m going to say. Let’s make the Double bass more popular!!! 😄
I love how ur playing canon in D; in A. But it sounds great, I have great respect for bass players that can actually play their instrument exceptionally well
Do you have the notes to This song that you could put in the description or something this is my favorite song so if you could that would be AWSOME! And good job! I love the way it sounds!
The awesomeness about playing bass is that you can play any genre of music from classical to jazz to rock n roll. You are always needed and can get gigs anywhere. Props to all players out there ❤

me too! i am a violinist (but i am from Brasil)
and I love gravel sounds
notcarys how long did it take you to learn. I'm about to start classes
it's your boy guzma I’m an oboist
Agree
I'm an double bass player, and I really don't see much bass players on RUclips unlike violin, viola and cello. Bass need love
Hands down,
Double Bass is extremely underrated
Laughs in viola... WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE IT SO MUCH
Its overrated
Mapachi Mapachin Mapache Mapuchino how, give an example?
Thank you for this. I love my instrument so much.
I can agree with that

i agree i play the bass too
Yup at my schools there's only two bass players I'm one.
+kar muts The Viola needs more as well.
I am the only bass player at my school
+Nathan King I
agree with that too.
I'm the only bass player in my orchestra and the only one in my school.....
Aisling Casserly geez Louise
Aisling Casserly my orchestra teacher doesn't know how to play bass so I have to teach all the new kids 😂
Aisling Casserly one scholarship coming right up lol
Aisling Casserly I’m the only bass player in my city. There’s no orchestra in my school and I have to go 160 miles every other day for practice.
Cole Wery What the actual heck
I just wanna say that this video made me switch to bass 5 years ago and now I just finished my regional concert and am about to audition for all state as bassist. Also this guy’s tone in the higher positions is amazing.
Hey, good for you!
I LOVE THE DOUBLE BASS!!!!!!!! I play it in orchestra.
I'm the only one in my orchestra class who plays
In mine it is me and one other
@@lingling8047 Wow Thats Rare..

Me: *open this video to check if there are LingLing's comments*
Also me: *see the first this comment as first*
Lol
At least it doesn’t have a c string
Ling Ling would be disappointed
now I know it's okay to look over at your instrument from time to time to make sure you're playing right. my teacher made it seem like that's bad
its only bad if you don't know what your playing next
With thumb positions, half positions, and off finger board notes, you may need to in certain circumstances
Lauren H it's the same thing with all instruments really, looking at you hands to see if your playing the right notes is fine every once in a while. But if you look at your hands too much you're looking at your hands more than the music, and you'll probably end up playing something wrong because you don't know whats coming next in the music.
It is fine to do if you know what your playing next and counting. However, it is possible that your teacher is also trying to get you to rely on your ear. It's always ok to look over though if you know the piece.
I see everyone's teachers are the same, it's to encourage you to learn off muscle memory mainly
im a cello player and i have to admit the double bass needs more love than the cello.
king-hidan Yeah im also a cello player i think the same kind of
Fushi Wang the cello gets a a lot of love, it’s right after the violin
I think cello deserves the love but bass should get a little more but not as much as any of the other instruments
NegativeZerøs I agree! I feel like almost every bass-line like instrument needs to be recognized, even if it’s popular already. They need to be recognized in a different way, for cello at least.
Honestly, the viola, cello, and bass all deserve more love than the violin
*cello players's tears intensify*
Thats mama cello(i know its a bass)
they're like that's my part!
Meanwhile violin cries very fast
idk suffering
I have never been so offended by something I 100% agree with
10/10 bass playing. I also play double bass and it's so nice to see another guy that loves bass playing as much as I do. It's so hard to find double bass solos on the internet. Again great job :D

Basses cost millions
FYI Bass players are called bassists and cello players are called cellist if you didn’t know sry if you already knew
@@Vikingknarr no i could have got one for about 1500 €
@@Vikingknarr but usually they cost a bit more
@@Vikingknarr but not millions
The double bass is such a beautiful instrument. Like a large, majestic mountain howling with the wind. It’s so mesmerizing.
God i just love the deep hum of this bass it pretty much sings to my soul, and makes my ears has an eargasm. Especially when he pluckes the strings hearing the deep soul of it sing to everyone listening
I'm a cellist and have recently picked up the bass and it is absolutely beautiful!
Play the canon in D on violin in my wedding and on D, bass on my funeral
All I can say is when you play it in D major it's super boring for me at least
Play it on D major on viola at my wedding and d minor on double bass in my funeral XD
Translation of “spero che il tuo funerale sia il più tardi possibile! :)”: I hope your funeral is as late as possible! :)

This is one of the many reasons why I'm getting a Double Bass for my school band. And I'll be the only stringed instrument at all.
TheSuperGamer Good luck with it! In my small school orchestra of woodwinds, I'm the only violinist, and with it, the only string player. It can get a little bit lonely, and nobody really understands much about your instrument, but it's worth it! Follow what you want to play, and it'll pay off, I promise.
Good luck such a good instrument
I did that last year because they had no tubas
I wanted to bring my violin into my school band but I cant. :(
Sad thing is my school doesn’t let me play double bass for band and we don’t have an orchestra so I just play it at home 😪
rest in peace this guy's left hand
Right though. No only do my fingers get sore after only 120 measures, my bow hand cramps sooo bad.
Lollipop Y right!
You get used to it after awhile
Lollipop Y I know right
Fake Misery that is true when I first started playing I got blisters on my hands now I don't but my bow hand still cramps up after awile
I play bass and watch these videos. I do it becuase it's nice to see comments from other bassists, it makes me feel less lonely lol. There's going to only be one bassist in my orchestra when I go to school again unless someone new joins. I'm trying to get an amp so I can actually be heard, but it'll still be lonely back there. Oh well, bass is worth it. I've been playing for four years and absolutely love it. Say hey if you're a bassist :)
I'm also the only one at my school, but the rest of my class isn't that big so I don't really need an amp lol. It does get a bit lonely sometimes :p
my school's orchestra actually surprised me, we have about 8 bassist this year and hopefully next year too.
oh and hey! bass rules
Hey
The high notes on this instrument kinda sounds like a Cello.
no it's the low notes on cello that try to sound like bass.
Well, duh.
@Jazzy Jasmine how long u been playing cello?
@Cypeq um do u know music at all?
Cello: Portable Bass
Bass: At Home Bass
I’m 12 years old and I played the violin for 8 years! I have played duets with cellos, basses, violas, and many more instruments. I love the double bass sound!😊
You my good sir are absolutely incredible. I will not lie I begun to weep right as soon as you began with the main melody
Said the guy called Weegeefan9001
Say_Hello_Aidan not sure if this is an accusation or a fact... Perhaps both?
He’s probably pointing out that you talk like Shakespeare and yet you have a name like “weegeefan9001”
I am a beginner bass player and it is really cool to see someone play so amazingly on base because there isn't a lot of videos on bass solos
Bass is the best string instrument to ever exist.
Axel Ventura the boss yes
Axel Ventura the boss yas Ikea
Axel Ventura the boss I'm 12 and I play it
Cool dude keep at it.
Axel Ventura the boss it's just so dam hard to take to places in hatchbacks

This is the only Canon in D on Double Bass
(i could find)
Daniel Donato Sony In d
It is actually in A major...
Actually i can play it on double bass too
@@nicholasmcintyre OMG
It’s actually in A
It takes a lot of talent to make the bass sound really good! He can really make it sound like a cello while I'm here barely being able to play Eb on the G string without making it scratchy. Nice job!

This is Canon in A... (am I the only one who noticed this?)
It sounds great anyway =) keep it up dude
I don't have perfect pitch :(
Ye lol I have very good pitch too and I heard it and was like... uhm
I have perfect pitch!
I wish I have perfect pitch
@Omega 1470 no it doesn't
Oh how I miss the double bass classes, such a beautiful instrument! I will never forget the first time I played the bass ❤

WOW Never thought double bass could sound this beautiful, amazing!
This is utterly beautiful! My absolute favourite version. The double bass is incredibly underrated & unappreciated 💜

I've been playing this instrument for almost three years and every time I play a piece I cry my passion for this instrument is unreal

I love this instrument and this song was played so beautifully
I love the double bass and other instruments they are so unique in their own way
Omg what a deep soothing relaxing sound.. So beautiful
Very beautiful & well done. The sound is very pleasing to the ears.
the intonation was 11/10, and as a cello player of 2 years i aspire to be able to play this beautifully one day.
I have already started the cello, and when school starts back up again I will learn to play the bass, I know the first eight notes notes of this song on the cello and will use my knowledge of the instrument to get a head start on the bass.
It's not the same it only the same notes but completely different fingerings you are not supposed to use third finger only for harmonics and there are so many positions and you shift all of the time
Challenge Time oh my god. That is exactly my plan to. Are we the same person?
The first eight notes are hell for cello and bass because we just play those eight notes over and over and over the entire sing
Song**
Just started playing the double bass and im loving it!
I need this played at my funeral. And I would like it by bass. DOUBLE bass to be exact. Honestly we should give the bass more love, it's such a beautiful instrument.
Oh my, I didn’t expect to start crying. This just pulled the tears straight from my eyes. This is so beautiful.
I used to play this video over and over again. I was so inspired and now I hope to be as good as you someday! Make more videos like this!!!
Great layered recording. That is a beautiful instrument. Very enjoyable.
The string bass is my favorite instrument and this is lovely!
I play the bass too and this was very good. Very nice sounding. I honestly have watched this video over and over because it is absolutely amazing. Keep it up

Double bass definitely is my favorite string instrument such a beautiful sound
Awesome performance! I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for sharing
Absolutely beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️😭😭❤️❤️😭🎶🎶🎵❤️😭❤️❤️❤️😭❤️😭😍😍😍😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️🎵🎶💯

That was really awesome i admire the way you play your music.
This is absolutely gorgeous sounding
Really rich tone!
such a beautiful version
I really like this! I have been playing bass for almost 3 years and this shows what the bass is capable of. :]
I know we don't get much love
Beautiful. More people should feel the love for such an incredible instrument.
The double bass has that ring, the high registers sound like a cloud in the sky. It has the muted but beautiful sound. Underrated instrument.
This was truly amazing! Gave me chills
Absolutely beautiful
This is so awesome. You created something very beautiful for the bass which is so over looked. I would get the sheet music but I am broke.....
This is truly amazing! I am a violin player, but I still enjoy to listen to cello, piano, and double bass. You are great!
The bass has such a beautiful sound!! It really is one of the "left out instruments" in orchestras
That was so awesome!! I started playing bass a year ago and I just love it so much. I'm not the best right now but someday I really hope to reach your level :) well done!
grazie! vedrai che con impegno riuscirai...a presto Francesco

This is so amazing!! I play but it sounds nothing as good as this!!
i love this sound! double bass is so beautiful
This just to beautiful for words!!
You’re playing it in A, but whatever. I can’t complain. This is beautiful!
I’m a Cellist. And i really think Double bass needs more love and pieces written for it! For now i’m going to say. Let’s make the Double bass more popular!!! 😄
I love the sound of double bass
This is so beautiful!
I play the violin and I love it and all but I can't wait until I get to try all the lower ranged string instruments
I love how ur playing canon in D; in A. But it sounds great, I have great respect for bass players that can actually play their instrument exceptionally well
Best 3 minutes ever

The double bass is really the only instrument I like in classical music. And I don't like classical music lol. Keep up the good work! You are amazing.
So beautiful!! I wish I could play this so as good as you do.

Ça me plait beaucoup.
Teseoguitar wait is it b like one on a or one on g
I hope I can be as good as you one day!
Good timbre! Love the creation!
