      I want to now believe that he spent his whole life mastering the violin because he's always been self conscious about never learning how to whistle 😂

  • @teddywang69
    @teddywang69 4 года назад +2

    3:25 so you can be happy that in a sense you are practicing two things at once, actually three at once , because Extreme bow control is required for harmonics which is way more difficult than normal notes
    It would be like in Dragon ( Moses??) when they are trained in high gravity situation . So when you go back normal to notes you are going to feel ..... (這段我聽不清楚)
    So it can be a bit frustrating, but with patients and a lot of notes checking you will get there.

    • @davidshu2363
      @davidshu2363 2 года назад

      Hi! I think you can check out that tutorial on youtube(if can't find a teacher for a reason) cuz world-class or not the basic things you've mentioned are pretty much the same except for further in-depth like "tension". There's so much to learn from him that it is sometimes not necessary for a beginner and even intermediate "yet" there are so many other things to look up first. But if Ray actually does it then he probably has some kind of world-class level mindset or knowledge that again, a beginner wouldn't be able to practically 100% understand yet.
      I hope you will be able to start playing violin and love and care from a community :D

    I wish he would make a video on how to do fingered minor thirds and minor sixths. I am really wrestling with them in the 3rd mvmt of the Paganini concerto 1. In fact, it would be nice to just have a RUclips tutorial on that whole double stop section in that concerto. That’s probably the hardest passage in the whole piece.
