its impossible to see his hands).

Can you ask Mr. Tuneh for some tips ?

Formisano is one of the best Flute players in the world,
won many prices etc.
Amazing how Guy Tuneh is feating to him, sometims it sounds like
Formisano is to accompaniment Guy Tuneh!!
I change my view at bass players, so, there is one player who can stand in one line with other instruments!
BRAVO.

“Beyond discipline, devotion, courage, openness, adventure, and honesty, I view passion as a requirement to achieve quality and perfection…. … Dedication, intensity, and love of the small details, inspires my approach that the “right spirit” is needed in order to achieve greatness, not only on the performance stage, but everywhere else.” (Guy D. Tuneh)
(the words of Guy Tuneh, from the offical website of the bow case
carrying his name)
Maestro, i can hear every one of your words in your way of playing the bass!
