    The RUclips algorithm led me to this channel and I got hooked. You guys have inspired me to pick up my violin that has been sitting unused for years at my parents' house. When I moved out for post-secondary, I didn't want to disturb my new neighbours and just stopped playing. I got it tuned up, and then I muddled through some scales, twinkle twinkle, hot cross buns, and then butchered happy birthday. I guess I'm going to have to practice a bit before I move on to any Paganini.

      I remember watching all of them. I believe he took them down because he said he doesn't align with them anymore or doesn't believe in those methods anymore and doesn't want to spread it around when there are better ways of approaching stuff now. However, I would love to see what has changed and why he feels that way about it now.

      In my perfect world, Brett and Eddie put out a video playlist on playing violin, and also for just general musicality. But also, maybe with the fandom have compositions put into a book with increasing difficulty of fan, made music that they could share in their site or some thing. And they could teach their own TwoSet course.

    I like how Brett gives honest critiques. His praise isn’t empty because he notes the areas that need further work or are not as good as they could be, and where improvement could be made. So when he then says this or that was good, or he was impressed, it really means something. Good enough to deserve a bubble tea!

  • @catindistress2460
    @catindistress2460 Год назад +467

    Eddy, your wrist is a little too low when you start the upbow staccato. If your wrist is low in comparison with your fingers, your fingers have no space to impulse the stroke upwards. Upbow staccato is primarily centred around the fingers and thumb as these are the only muscles sensitive enough to do the movement. By way of preparing for your upbow staccato run, drop your fingers in relation to your wrist, then martellato up. As you work up proficiency, you can upgrade martellato for a true flying stroke, then add speed. Notice when you were doing it at the end of your 7 days, your wrist was higher compared to when you started, but it was still lower than it should be for full efficiency.

      Well dang it. My teacher - who famously had a VERY fluid and relaxed wrist - told me to tighten things up for that passage, then just kinda "think the Minuet in G" (quote from "The Music Man") if you will. Not helpful. Your detailed explanation makes me wish I was that age again instead of closer to the end, and certainly no longer needing to learn this stroke.

    i really appreciate you uploading this. the first piece that forced me to really work on this technique was the 1st movement of Seitz's student concerto no. 3, but i still end up fudging it half the time. it was encouraging to see an extremely skilled violinist experience the same types of issues i've dealt with when doing this technique (e.g., wanting to tense the right arm, inconsistent pressure when moving up the bow, left wrist tension, etc.), and then getting to see your approach to isolating the problems and applying targeted exercises for improvement. going out of your way to use performance as a test is an underrated point too.
    i'm still at the "sometimes i get it and go 'wooo!' and smile" phase, and it made me smile seeing you do the same thing each time you got it, as well as when you got it while performing for brett. great stuff! :))

    I really liked this! 40 hours a day is fun for a meme but I worry that it puts too much emphasis on time rather than quality of practice. I liked seeing a taster of what it actually looks like to closely practise a specific thing

    This is like training your 4th and 5th finger muscles to do trills and play the melody with your 1st on the piano version of La Campanella near the cadenza. Absolute torture, especially when the trills start to shift down right after 😭.

    Try not to lower your wrist in upbowstacato. A higher wrist is needed. Otherwise you are locking your joints, and making a lot of unwanted pressure

    I didn't mean to finish watching the video but I've already know what to say.
    This video is proof that no matter how much experience you have there's always more learning to do.
    You have Eddy, a man who's been playing violin for about 20 years (give or take) learning a technique that he hasn't done before.

  • @MyCapMyEverything
    @MyCapMyEverything Год назад +8

    This is too funny guys! I love it - Also, it really shows that it is supposed to be difficult no matter where you are in the process. We just have to keep on practicing and this fact doesn't change whether you have been playing for one day or are a true craftsman; like Eddy. You can always get better, even if you are a pro; like Eddy 🔥🔥😊 It is very inspiring. Interesting to see you practice over a longer preiod. I would like to see more of these videos where you are treating practical everyday stuff, such as practice, as a content opportunity.

  • @zarakoda

    I REALLY liked this video. Even with slow, careful honed practice, there are times a player can feel immobile in their progress. We all have our technique Achilles heels. To see Eddy's dedication ironing out a difficult problem area, to see that much of an improvement in only a week, is inspiring and invigorating. After laughing out loud at Brett's confused reaction, I loved his very classical music culture response: providing support and encouragement while giving advice for the next level up. I would love to see more videos like this, though I don't expect it, as I acknowledge it's time-consuming. This style of video is so attuned to the work it takes for musical improvement. And again, that result was impressive in that time window. I love seeing you boys kick butt, level up, and kick even more butt!

    I've always wanted to know how to learn upbow staccato. Eddy "failing" is so much better than what my bow is doing.

  • @daniluzzu
    @daniluzzu Год назад +3

    I thought I was one of those who "don't have it", but then I found a way to produce it easily. Bow tilted forward slightly more than usual, for the right index finger switch from between 2nd and 3rd bone to fully 3rd bone for bow pressure, and then pretend to produce a fast tremolo with the right wrist (like orchestral, fast, unmeasured tremolo), start with that tremolo at the tip, and it's like you are in neutral, then a slight over-leaning of the hand toward the tip with pressure from the index, start bowing up with the arm as though you were just doing a long bow (the wrist is still just doing tremolo) and you engage the gear. If I coordinate pressure and bow speed correctly, this transforms the tremolo into up-bow staccato, with a properly relaxed wrist.
