Release the pressure in both the left hand and the right hand even when shifting under a slur. Keeping the pressure on will make the shift very difficult to get consistent. 👍 Watch out for the shifting video which will go more into detail.
@@priceviolinacademy oh i thought you'd already realeased the video, so i misunderstood. will you talk about portamento too? this is the thing i really haven't practised yet, just 'normal' shifting. thanks for the reply!
Very helpful! When I try to practice 3rds and 6ths (unlike octaves, 4ths, and 5ths) in scales, I always wonder what intonation systems I should use. Should I just stick to Pythagorean intonation like usual, or use just intonation instead? If so, which note should I "adjust" ? Higher notes or lower notes? What about when one note is one of the open string notes? Is it going to be an exception?
It’s a great question and I may go down a rabbit hole second guessing my answer here. I’m not sure if what I do is the most ‘correct.’ Obviously when it comes to tuning systems you sometimes have to make compromises. However, my simple answer is that when doing scales I tend to prioritize what sounds flush with the drone. There are a lot of things to think about though here. I found this extensive thread with a lot of solid ideas on the subject that may be helpful if you want to take a deeper dive. www.violinist.com/discussion/archive/19484/
@@priceviolinacademy Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the link! It’s always interesting to hear different perspectives on tuning systems. Prioritizing what sounds good with the drone makes a lot of sense and seems like a practical approach. I’ll definitely check out the thread you mentioned for more insights. Thanks again for the resource!

Hi David, thank you for the very diligent and extremely caring detail that you put into your videos. Really appreciated!
My pleasure! Thanks for the comment Elio!
Super helpful! Thank you! Really great channel.
Thanks Tiff! Hope it helps you out. 👍
What is the guy playing at the beginning of the video? Sounds nice.
That’s a guy by the name of Jascha Heifetz playing Paganini’s 24th caprice. Yeah I guess he’s alright.
Thanks bro
Welcome 👊
when shifting in a slur I have to release pressure of the fingers or do I shift with the same pressure I use to play the double stops?

For sure! I’ll chat about 3 types of shifts and one of those is the new finger shift which is used for portamento. Thanks for commenting. 👍
