As a piano player, I find this really intimidating. Having no frets or keys is really unfamiliar for me.

[ПапаСталин-сг]

I'm very happy we went to a music shop today and we rented a cello but the sound peg was loose so I have to wait a day or 2. I can't stop

[shane]

Best part for me starts at 3:23. Trying to learn this. Need a video of it at about 60bpm to really see what is going on.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing your art with us.
Cheers

one question do you need to hold 2 fingers on the same string? it sounds redundant to me. I have 0 knowledge on string instruments except the piano

[SussyBaka-iwyj]

i started playing cello like 3 days ago and ive been looking for videos like these and the hardest part for me is the bow like where u place your fingers on the bow

[tomcartwright]

Thank you Jonathan, as a rookie I've been going through some of your videos. The patient delivery and trace of humour never fails to make me smile. 👍

[j.bryceteel]

Those scissors had me laughing out loud 😂 thanks for the lesson!

Hi I will be renting a cello with in the week, I am looking fwd to it I am a guitarist and pianist and this is great training as a pianist because the cello is the bass clef which on your piano is the left hand... just put the tapes on to mark the first position and you will be fine...that is what I will be doing

[apogeeangel]

How Do you Know on what part, or how far up of the Cello's neck, do you Place The Tape???

[ahmadz]

[zoemills]

Hi, I’m just starting to relearn cello from school age and overwhelmed by the videos you’ve shared - thank you! I’m just wondering where is the best place to start? Also, could I please have a copy of the scales book you mention? I have emailed but not heard anything! Thank you so much - love your videos! :)

[win]

[gargs_]

Jonathan Humphries, boa tarde . favor colocar as distâncias de cada fita que foram colocadas no braço do violoncelo? eu vi no seu vídeo 07 (sete) marcações com as fitas. meu cello é de 4/4 e sinceramente não quero comprá-las. eu pretendo medí-las com régua e colocá-las. pode enviar as distâncias das fitas em cm ou como vocês usam aí no seu país. eu consegui colocar no meu violino e deu certo . fico no aguardo e muito obrigada.

My fingers are on the correct position but the thumb is hard to be in postion. Sometimes I pressed my fingers down without the thumb. Am I wrong? Even changing strings, my thumb will not be in same position.

[hamfat]

What song that you played in video? I hear it many time, but don’t know name
Could you suggest me about beginner cello book. Thanks a lot : )
