You've made a wonderfully instructive piece. Your playing is marvelous. I especially like the way you build your instruction, first demonstrating just what pizzicato is, then building from technique to technique. I wasn't aware just how robust this technique is and how many ways it can be employed, and I believe you have demonstrated most of the common ways it is used. Clearly your video is not meant to be the final word on this technique but rather an introduction to it, with examples of the techniques illustrated by your playing. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I'm a musician (electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass, drums and percussion) and I primarily play rock and folk-rock, but I'm always interested in learning other ways of playing and how other instruments sound. Knowing those sounds adds them to my arsenal of sounds that I can choose from when producing a recording. Not everyone can make a piece that teaches as clearly as you have. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Does anyone have tips for Britten's YPG 2nd Violin part. Just 4 Notes starting almost off the E string finger board (or in position starting on A string). Clearly one needs to press the fingers hard, very painful, but to even find and get in tune the first notes and then play the other 3 notes?? Why did Britten even give it to the 2nd violins, is there a simple trick I'm missing? Also the left over string to pluck is tighter and hard to resonate.
When I play guitar, I generally play the bass part with thumb, the strumming part with my first and/or second fingers, and melody with the rest. All at once. With lots of exceptions, ie strumming with pinky, drumming with thumb etc. I was unable to do the same while bowing my arpeggione, and my violas, and it looks as if I was right. It can't be done. Easily. Yet. I'll be back.
I have to learn the spring sonata in just few months for my certificate,and the fourth part's pizz is really getting me off track,chords+pizzicato=disaster!
2:51 Paganini really be out here shredding electric guitar solos before they were a thing. Bravo.
Very enlighting! Thanks for showing all these variations for pizzicato!

Old video that helped me a lot today. Thank you ❤
This is wonderful! Clear and concise and terrific examples. Thanks!
I like to put my shoes on the table, place my chin over them, and pretend I'm a tiny person with an upright bass.
Absolutely fantastic treatment, concise yet explained well enough to fill me with ideas for practice of the different methods :D
Very clear guidance with correct demonstration . Thank you very much sir.
wow the finale was amazing,really like!
Excellent demonstration!
Your channel is really great. Thanks so much for sharing that.
David Garrett uses it in Carnival Of Venice, brilliant piece, I suggest you have a listen
Much appreciated David
I thought I was the only one that thought string players could use 2 fingers for speed! This was very helpful, thanks!
"Holiday for Strings" by David Rose -- terrific pizzicato piece!
Björk's Vulnicura brought me here to learn :) I think Pizzicato is the first part of Atom Dance
I found this very instructive!
what about bartok pizzicato???
I hear you... "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" 3rd Movement. Eerie sound!
thanks for having this very good stuff!
Ravel piece makes the violin sound like a Ukulele..
Great sound man!
johnnynoirman
truly useful this one thx somuch
The end is honestly my favorite part
Thank you. When the audience doesn't appreciate the music and performance, I sometimes use two fingers, sometimes one.
ROFL, that one undeservedly went under the radar
Proper instruction
Excellent

So talented
3:36 - fucking paganini
He is so good
Can pizzicato be slurred ?
thanks
@5:00 what song is this? i need it in my life.
Giovanni Howard Darude-Sandstorm
2nd movement of the Ravel violin sonata
4:16 I'm loving the concentration faces
it's kinda hard for me when i also have to bow in my hand i use to pizzicato. because of the weight, it's hard for me to pizz fast.
3:32 that stare was intimidatingly hot
Explendido
I've seen quality guitar style pizz out of a violin... I feel like mozart has written passages calling for that guitar-style.
I have to learn the spring sonata in just few months for my certificate,and the fourth part's pizz is really getting me off track,chords+pizzicato=disaster!
That's Mama Luigi to you
You forgot to mention the pizzicato technique seen here: ruclips.net/video/t5kzdf8kUeM/видео.htmlm58s
Guitar!
