I’ve been playing piano for 18 years, and I really appreciate that you don’t spend a lot of time on music theory, just technique. Thanks for the clear instructions, too!

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.

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?

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 ?😁

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.

What string are your fingers on? The middle string? D ?

[DamianSnider]

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

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??

[pahuljichey]

I don’t understand where to put fingers for d major scare which string !

[katiemote]

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)

[DamianSnider]

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.

[rebeccalogan]

The scale part os messing me up i need a view of the hand from top so i can see where the fingers go

[Heemiez]

I can't follow along. It isn't clear which string im supposed to be pressing when you demonstrate
