Mandolin Tips for Recovering Violinists: Vol 1
A compilation of my first five "Mandolin Tips for Recovering Violinists" shorts: entertaining, quick-fire snippets that help speed along your transition from a bowed and infinite-intonation EADG instrument, to a picked and fretted EADG instrument.
Qualifications: I play both, having recorded, competed, and performed on mandolin since about 2000; and having had formal lessons (including a college performance minor) and performing in many bands, orchestras, and chamber groups on violin since about 1999.

TeaBrewing Sessions #1

Something I do a lot, but only now am starting to formally document, is to practice a small passage of music while the kettle boils for our nightly tea, then try to perform it at basically recording quality while the tea brews. Today I was going after the beginning of Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C (which I used to play on piano). My specific practice emphases tonight were nailing the timing of cer...

Straight Up Strings, Heavy Gauge, New-Old Comparison
Просмотров 1733 месяца назад
I recorded as close to the same thing as I could, three weeks apart on the same set of Straight Up Strings mandolin heavy gauge. Recorded on my iPhone 15 ProMax, so there's some auto-gain stuff it's doing that I can't control. Overall, the strings have stayed very consistent even after fairly heavy playing for three weeks. They stay in tune even when whacking them really hard, and they've got a...

    Really appreciate this video. I have several expensive instruments (including a July 9th Red Diamond), and I've always been afraid to work on them. The wait to get them serviced by local luthiers is also something I don't want to do, especially for something as simple as setting the intonation properly. Your guide to setting the intonation (a process I was already familiar with) gave me the confidence that I could do it myself. My intonation was slightly off on the treble side (been off since I got it) on my RD, and the action was set a bit high for my tastes. Now my RD plays as nice and smooth as my Gibson MM, but it sounds about 10x better. Really appreciate your stuff, Phil.

    From BC Canada: Hey Phil I like the way you have infused such lovely flow to this always intriguing piece. I have experimented with many different interpretations and have heard many different renditions on the mando. I’m curious - do you find when you play it that you always play it the same way? Or do you vary your interpretations? A beautiful posting. Many thanks.

    • @PhilWoodhull
      @PhilWoodhull Месяц назад

      Thanks for the wonderful comments! I tend to vary a bit in interpretations, but less and less as time goes on I think. You can compare this video with my complete Cello Suites recording posted April 2021, and with the May 2024 album I just released (all also posted in my channel here.) I think you’ll find I tend to play with a fairly consistent flavor, but never exactly the same. Thanks again!

    A question: for Menuet II, measure 7, the last note is a B flat?

    • @PhilWoodhull

      I based my performance here from the Polo violin transcription, which has a B natural there specifically with the accidental.

    • @charlesfritter9686
      @charlesfritter9686 2 месяца назад

      Thanks for the reply Phil. I have read the only surviving copy of the cello suites is a transcription by Bach’s wife, and it is claimed that apparent ‘errors’ were present. Thus, available music for these often has changes made by various ‘experts’. I have learned the piece with a B flat in that measure so I will continue to play it that way. Happy picking.

    • @charlesfritter9686
      @charlesfritter9686 2 месяца назад

      @@PhilWoodhull Phil, I was intrigued by this and had to find more info. I was reminded of something I forgot: Minuet II is written in D dorian so it has a raised 6th which accounts for the B natural instead of the B flat. So now I will relearn this movement with a B natural.

    • @charlesfritter9686
      @charlesfritter9686 Месяц назад

      Hey Phil, after more investigation I discovered two things: there exists some controversy about the dorian mode aspect of Minuet II, CS1, apparently because it appears in the Anna Magdalena transcription- but only for bars 3 and 7. Secondly, I found some references to possibly the original Bach score had been found which supposedly had an E natural in measure 3, but an E flat in measure 7. Haha, it's getting interesting. But I can say cellist Inbal Segev uses E natural in bars 3 and 7. I have a lot of confidence in Inbal so I will play as she does. Hope you are well.

      @charlesfritter9686 According to the scans of the four 18th century manuscripts on jsbachcellosuites.com, the A-M and Westphal manuscripts have Eb-Enat. The Kellner manuscript has Eb-Eb. I can’t tell what the Unknown Author, late 18th century manuscript says in measure 7 (looks like C??) but measure 3 is Eb.

I play a 1-1.2 snark teardrop celluliods ... $12-$15 for a dozen. No clicking. However I'm wanting to graduate to tri .. I I don't know if I want to risk a blue chip .. because I loose or misplace picks . I'm pretty seasoned but stuck on my ways. Im also a Luthier so I have the tools to polish and shape these picks ..

      One can use flat-wound or flat-top strings, as I have at a couple times in the past. I think there’s a way to shift and maybe condition one’s callouses as well in ways that help, but I’m not familiar. Thile seems to squeak very little, somehow.

    • @PhilWoodhull
      @PhilWoodhull 3 месяца назад

      In terms of building up general music skills and maybe gaining extra familiarity with the fingerboard, yes. In terms of technique, no: even though the fingering is “the same,” the differences with using a fretboard vs a violin fingerboard are *juuuust* big enough to make them only moderately compatible and possibly confusing for someone still beginning with violin/fiddle. In the end, while one won’t be terribly helpful learning the technique of the other, the ability to gain overall musical skill while learning and playing multiple instruments makes the proposition net positive. Go for it!
