    rob tries his hardest to not slap a cello

      Haha I actually gave it a try, on mine of course, and I was too out of practice for it to sound very good.
      Here’s the slap cello video I was referencing

      He is doing massiv improvements though. Most teachers teach children and it takes a while to get a good sound because they don’t jet have the coordination or know how it should sound. So I’m convinced the teachers aren’t faking their excitement when the dude gets this much down in one lesson.😂

    something i love about the cello is that the sound of the bow against the strings sometimes sounds like breathing, particularly in classical cello like the bach piece at the start. it just makes it a very intimate instrument and i love it for that

    I have wanted to try cello ever since I first heard the cello quartet Apocalyptica doing Metallica covers on their cellos in the late 90s. They then went on to do a bunch of metal inspired and metal/classical mixed albums. They are so good. It sounds like she is doing a similar thing with hip hop and rap.

    I grew up in a wind band setting as the only string player on upright bass, so I have very little personal cello experience. I’m subbing for a banjo player for a theater production right now and it surprised me how much low end the cello had, truly a versatile instrument.
    Also, maybe now Rob can get another cello endorsement and play cello at NAMM again, who knows

    The next thing you could learn with the bow is staccato strokes. Unlike the smooth lagato where you use the whole arm, the staccato is going to be almost all wrist. After that, probably get familiar with the 2nd octave on each string which lines up with your thumb at the base of the neck.

    Hey Rob, awsome video! Next time I think u should check out this brazillian instrument called "Viola Caipira" Its a open tunning weird acoustic 5 pair strings guitar used in our tradicional "country" music, I think you would love it.
