Giovanni Bottesini ranks as one of the most famous Double Bass virtuosi ever to have lived. His Metodo Completo Per Contrabbasso or Method For Double Bass appeared in print between 1860 and 1970 in French, Italian and English. The value of Bottesini's method lies in the gradual progression from simple exercises and rhythms in easy keys, to virtuoso studies that use advance bowing techniques and require a thorough knowledge of the instrument.

New notes, notation, and bowing skills are added in logical progression, reinforcing both right- and left-hand technique and developing the cognition for string performance. This book introduces students to: the basic major and minor tetrachords on all four strings; essential rhythmic notation from whole notes through eighth-note patterns; left-hand techniques such as easily played double stops, left-hand pizzicato, differentiating whole and half steps; and a variety of bow techniques. Audio available online.
