Thanks for explaining u are so good iam 73yrs old and was my childhood dream to play and now i got a violin and like to learn stay safe TC
How is it going? Could you please give us an update?
Dang
Just bought a fiddle. Excited to get it & start at nearly 63 yrs.
I used to play when I was a teenager. I’m 29 now and have no idea how to anymore. I have wrist issues so I can’t play long but I’m so happy to find a free class that I can follow at my own pace :)
You are an AMAZING teacher! I've struggling with scales and in 20 mins you've explained it perfectly! THANK YOU!!
I'm following your lessons! Thanks for making it so easy to understand!!!! Thanks for your time.
Thanks mate!
oh my goodness. ive just got a violin and watched your first video and i have never learned something so quickly. you explain everything so perfectly. i wamt to play irish music so badly lol xxx
Very good video instruction..easy to follow along and very informative. Thanks for your effort and patience!
Thanks!
Just got mine in and back from my violin guy. The only string giving me some kind of trouble is the E string. But I will rosin my bow better and do these scales with you tonight. Thank you so much for this! I’m so excited to learn.
Well my friend. In all my ministrations in playing along and trying to tune I broke my e string. Slapped me right in the chest. Hurt my skin and my pride! So I am going along with the first strings instead. I thank you for your help.
@@purplecat1713I’m so afraid of breaking mine !! Hahah I use a tuner on my phone
@@harryoftheisland me too! I've learned how to tune thanks to my instructor but I use the tuner on my phone as well. No more broken strings.
I tuned my e string too tight and broke it a while ago, I asked for a violin for Christmas a few years ago but never ended up using it after I got it, until one time I was tuning it to give it ago and broke it😂🤦🏼♀️ but I literally just ordered new strings for it and will try start again when I get them😂
Fab! Thank you!
I play most brass band instruments and used to play ukelele and guitar but only recently have I had a desire to have a go with a violin. I am 86 yrs of age so have no ambitions to be a great violinist so dont want to spend much on a violin ! Suggestions please ?😁
George, thanks for these videos. I’m 72 years old and started learning fiddle about three weeks ago. I’m really loving it, but I need some exercises to strengthen my old neck and shoulder muscles so I am not sore after practicing. Do you know any?
Мне 73,та же проблема 😢
Hi George ! Glenn here.
So i just got my first fiddle, how much time do you recommend to practice everyday. I'm 52 and have never played an instrument. But this hot me really excited.
Thanks from Norway.
Hi Glenn, I don’t think it matters too much for you to practice a lot of hours in a row, consistency is the key, so how long is a sustainable amount you can do everyday? 20 mins a day is better than 3 hours in one day and none the rest of the week.
When I descend with the bow, the bow begins to shake and when I ascend I notice that my thumb and pointer finger stay on the bow but the other fingers lift up off the bow. How do I get my pointer finger to reach the G string? I can pretty much get the other two fingers on the G string, but it's the pointer finger that I have trouble with...any advice for an absolute beginner

What string are your fingers on? The middle string? D ?
Question here :
I have a Note sticker on my Violin. Do I put my finger on the blue line also or do I just put on the alphabets only??
I don’t understand where to put fingers for d major scare which string !
I slide my bow along the strings and when I get close to the frog, the bow begins to shake and the notes vibrate...am I holding the bow too loose? When I ascend with the bow, I notice that my thumb and pointer finger stay on the bow but the other fingers lift up off the bow...any advice?
1CM basically is a wee bit under 1/2 inches.
I’ve been looking into getting a fiddle/violin I’m not the richest but I just need a beginner friendly violin/fiddle and I don’t know where to buy or what I’m looking for is there a website or any certain place I can look? (Im a minor working a part time job)
The scale part os messing me up i need a view of the hand from top so i can see where the fingers go
From what I've seen, using violin note stickers or finger tapes solves that issue. Finger tapes usage seems to be more accurate method.
I can't follow along. It isn't clear which string im supposed to be pressing when you demonstrate
