I am so glad I found this channel!! Just saw this video and put it into practice and my bow hold and the right thumb pain is gone!!! You’re a genius!! Thank you. Thank you! 🎉
Sweet, that solved the problem brilliantly! I found that while playing if I think, "contact point to belly button" my bow hand recalls the technique pretty well. The scary part is maintaining bow pressure at the tip without reverting to bad habits. All in time, with practice. Thank you!
Man! I just subscribed! look Im 38 years old now, and I started with the cello 2 years ago. I have full background on electric guitar but in classical guitar as well. So I know theory and read music and all that. So 2 years ago I found my self like ok I really want to play cello. And the first though that came to me of course was, hey but you are little too old ha. But it didnt care to me. So now im going to classes with a professional cellist which is GREAT! But yeah, I definitely have the same problem you mention about the thumb so I will practice this lesson! Sometimes (if not all the times) I just have to stop playing cuz my thumb is really hurting, so it demotivates me while im already warmed up ! So I have to stop for some minutes and loose concentration. This is very motivating since I would dream on presenting my self into an audition for our national orchestra (Im from Uruguay by the way), so knowing that there is people like me that just started "late" but became pro like you, is very very motivating! So, thanks for this channel and I will start following up you lessons my friend! Cheers from Uruguay!
Excellent lesson. I see so many of my children wearing out their thumbs and lessons like this can help them relax. I don't know why you chose the name "AdultCello". There is no "adult" content and these are all excellent lessons for children as well.
Not sure I fully understand what you’re saying. A good point you raise is that bow movements up and down the string generate noise, whereas bow movements perpendicular to the string generate tone. I frequently see people bow at an angle with the bow going back and forth but also moving between the bridge and the end of the fingerboard. The tones are superimposed by the scratchy noise that you illustrated so clearly. Does this make sense?

Love all your videos, I have restarted studying Cello recently and your videos have been helping me a lot.❤😍

Only started cello a month ago, and this tip is amazing! Thanks Billy!
This was super helpful! I would have never thought of it that way! Very open-minded concept! Thank you so much Billy!
Omg! I had the exact same thinking method! Your video made my playing so natural!!! I've been struggling with thumb pain a lot before
This is one of my problems, cant wait to try this. So hard not to clamp onto with the thumb. Pain in thumb pad and right corner where thumbnail is.
I always appreciate your insights that break with the obvious. I’ll try this. Thanks
Interesting! Really glad to see you are back!
Thanks Billy
It really works. Thanks a lot! 🙏😀
Yeah, I want to chop n' scrape,² once I get started. Thanks, for the heads up n' good to know.

Ugh. I wrote "AdultChello". How lame is that?
