I was wondering if anyone out there plays the double bass and would like to talk about edgar myer. I have been playing the upright bass for years ( 4-year degree in double bass,local orch.,jazz bands ect) and When I hear these great players(like edgar playing arco) I get all into playing again,And then the same old story.I go back to pizz.How did he do it?

I don't play double bass, but since you've brought up Edgar Meyer, I thought I would share this; really cool!

Have you ever heard from the double bass player Renaud Garcia Fond? Check him out, he´s the craziest bassplayer I ever heard. He probably playes a 5 string model with a high c-string. His phrasing is just unreal on a upright bass.
How did Edgar Myer do that? Simple answer: great talent, practising like a mofu and a lot of creativiy in solving of technical problems, do you know his recordings of the cellosuites?
better than with some famous cellists because he plays with a lot of taste.
