Brilliant video Tina and thank you. Always wondered how you managed to stop it rolling around in standing position and your advice is simply brilliant. Feel where the cello wants to move and flow with it and of course adapt hand postures. It's almost like a guitarist tremolo picking technique with your standing tremolo arco, using the wrist more than upper arm. Can't wait to dig out my Yamaha to give that a go too. Many thanks for your insights and tips.
I don't even play the cello but I looove the instrument and its sound. I've especially developed a liking for the electric cello (I LOVE listening to the Wonder Woman theme). Very nice and informative video, you're a super good teacher! 😊
You inspired me for a song that I am writing. The notes are D, E, F and then it goes to C, D, E. When you played the C major scale. I realized that the song I am writing wasn't a key change. It is all in the major scale. Haha so thank you! I want to play the cello so bad! I have a lot of music questions.
I’m the same way! My teacher always tells me to stop with my “floppy fingers” and he says that I need to find the sound that I want with curved fingers. But I’ve done a LOT of experimenting and I can’t. Makes me wish you were my teacher. 😂 A lot of people ask me why my hands look so wired when I play, and I just say that’s how I get the Tina vibrato. And I do get compliments for my vibrato a lot. 😂 anyway, this video was helpful. but I definitely need to get a longer end pin because the scroll is right around my chin so I have to squat to play well 😂
I have the very same problem and I think its an issue with having double-jointed fingers, which makes the joints of the fingers far more flexible than most people but also weaker and more capable of "collapsing" or even the opposite "locking up". I have a cello and a violin and before this video, I used to wonder if I would ever be physically capable of playing as well as a person without hypermobility in their fingers. Tina's the only string-player I've seen who's mentioned this, and it was such a relief to know, as obviously, it has no negative effect on her playing skills 💕
Awesome informative video Tina. I like your new Zoom unit. Zoom recording units are way awesome. You should be able to record up to 24bit 96K sample rate if needed. I like zoom as mic or need a stand alone mic unit. I like the XY configuration mics.
A really great and informative video Tina. Thank you for sharing :) have you ever stepped back onto your mixer on the floor? or so far nothing like that has ever happened or at least not will admit too hehe :) That electric one looks taller and the angle of the strings did not seem as angled as the original so is it primarily designed to be played standing as opposed to sitting for the traditional style? or is it just the way am looking at it? Be safe , take care and thank you for all you share with us all :) You look as always stunning :) I loved what you said about when playing. You have to flow as part of the music become the music your body moves with the music. Is there fingers exercises you do before you actually play? especially for the fingers playing the strings? or do you just play a practice piece first as the warm up?
Boa tarde. Felipe Lima , do Brasil,rio de Janeiro. Só louco pra aprender a toca esses instrumentos, eu queria te oportunidade de toca um dia... Vc é 10 tina ..
Ciao bella Tina sempre inpegniata con la musica ma per te di tempo ne trovi lo sappiamo che sei un genio però pensa anche ete mi capisci vero ora ti saluto tanto
I'm 6:2" and I still have problems adjusting to playing sitting down, and I've been at this cello business for forty years. 😉 (Only a few people notice my horrible posture because of the tux and sitting in the section, though.)
I just got a leeche. I know it’s not top of the line. I’m doing ok, but the moment I tried to use vibrato on G and C and almost dropped it! 😹 it’s gonna take time.
I have a basic 5 string electric cello that is darn near impossible to play in the traditional seated position. It's so narrow I am constantly hitting my left leg with the bow. I cannot hold this thing steadily. That's what I need help with. No way could this cello be played standing up. No braces like yours.
Your energy is infectious I could watch ups all day. What a wonderful talent you are
Aw that's very sweet thank you!
I play guitar but i learn so much from you and your techniques. You are a dedicated artist... keep shining🌻
This is amazing, l love your tutorial videos! Haha I can't even play in tune sitting down 😂
I've been struggling to play standing electric cello, but now that I know it was difficult even for Tina Guo I have hope to keep trying! Thank you!
Your sense of balance must be off the charts!
haha not really! I can't even ride a bike!
You are so nice and down to earth, love and respect to you from Egypt.
Thank you for watching!

Oh My God
I've been requesting this for a long time.
Thanks for doing this video tina.
You're the best.
Thank you so much for watching!
@@tinaguo Thank you so much for filming!
I love to play cello / violin but don't know how to play. It is good to see you playing it so amazingly.

Exelente clase sobre cómo tocar el violoncello. Saludos y felicidades hermosa.

Thank you for the new video, I love you. Hello from Russia, your music is magical.
Nicely done. Greetings from Detroit

I Love you, Tina! You are amazing 🤩😍
Thank you for the video! What was it like working with the Zoom Q2n 4k? Looks (and sounds) like a good option for on-the-go vlogs
I don't even play cello but I stilled watch this because of tina
I just bought one because she makes it look like so much fun :)
Hello from Poland:)
Nice video!
What AMP are you using in this video?
Tina, I admire you so much! Love this video! Do the wings on either side of the electric cello help with balance of the instrument?
Great Tina!

You are amazing!
Is that sound only coming through the amp?(from the Helix)? I'm amp shopping for an electric cello I have ordered from ForteVio. 💜🎵🎻🎶
How to play like a badass 101!!!
What is the stand you use to store your electric cello? I can't find one that works with the narrow base of my Stagg.
How long is your endpin? I play a 7/8 cello and I am thinking I might have to get a longer one.
Boa tarde. Felipe Lima , do Brasil,rio de Janeiro. Só louco pra aprender a toca esses instrumentos, eu queria te oportunidade de toca um dia...
Vc é 10 tina ..
Did you paint your electric cello white or did ut come like that??
I could listen to that voice forever!
I didn't even know electric cello existed.
EDIT: Actually I did, sorry. I just forgot it. Anyway, cool video Tina.
Ciao bella Tina sempre inpegniata con la musica ma per te di tempo ne trovi lo sappiamo che sei un genio però pensa anche ete mi capisci vero ora ti saluto tanto
Hi, Tina! What amp is it?
Cool, wow 🤘🤙👍✌

Again I say, Thanks Riot!

Wow you are so amazing

Tagelharpa

You talking about the need to be like water make me want you to be part of the score of the netflix avatar the last airbender TV show.
