This is our next installment of Lyric Opera of Chicago and Grant Park Symphony bassist Andy Anderson’s Virtual Lesson series. This episode gets more in-depth with the French bow hold, featuring many exercises and close-ups of Andy’s bow hand and arm in action. We get a lot of close-up shots of Andy’s bow hand and the various bow holds he advocates.

Jason, thank you (and Andy, of course) very much for these virtual lessons. I’m finding them to be very informative.
I was wondering, would it be possible to get someone to do the same thing using the German bow hold?
Thanks again for all the work you put into this.
