How to Do Cello Double Bowing

FRANCIS JOSEPH SANTORI: Bowing chords. You can't really bow more than two strings at a time; when you can, it requires a lot of pressure and honestly it just doesn't sound as good as just playing with two. Personal opinion. Maybe [INDISCERNIBLE] go here. But you take the bow and you let it cross the strings, let's say your C and your G, since there are tuned in 5ths you get to have a natural power chord by just bridging here, by bridging the two notes together. So open I, it's your I5 chord, so.
