Marcos Machado shows no signs of slowing down even during the pandemic!  He recently joined the Discover Double Bass teaching team and released a course in the fall of 2019 titled Integral Technique.

This course is based on the extensive research and experimentation Marcos has done in fingerings through his epic work Tao of Bass.  We spoke with Marcos about volume one of this series a few years ago, and he’s gearing up to release volume two later this year.

This interview digs into Marcos’ fingering journey, what’s in store for volume two, and much more.  Enjoy!
