[larryjohnny]

Thanks for the great tips ! Could you do something from Dave Matthews Band when you have time and let me know so I can learn.. Just bought a violin on Craigslist today for $175, it's a Marquis ? I hope it's good... seems to hold it's tune..

how hard do you have to press so that it doesn't sound squeaky ? I love your tone and your cute !

[big04021996]

wat is the thing on the bottom of your instrament

[katescandyshack]

@big04021996 My shoulder rest?

[Anniedumdum]

I LOVE it, but i still have trouble doing vibrato. Is that all to the song that you played on the violin? or is there more?

[DAUSNY]

man girl your so good i will get my vilon this week you sould be famous

[cjolney1]

how many years have u played?

[mbrown187]

Now that hole in the violin, those are called F holes right? And other stringed instruments like the cello and stand-up base have those too? I used to have a violin, but sold it because (a) I needed the money and (b) it was too overwhelming to learn the dang thing. Nice job by the way.

[theplayerosi]

a very good teacher

[Ventriscosa]

I think 3rd position is always better than 1st.

Also I like the way u used "cacophonous." (most people dont even know that word.)

[ricardopepo]

hey good, gracias

[kbbx9770]

Thanks for such good info. You are a good teacher by video instruction. I doubt if you would have patience with me in person..................:).

[katescandyshack]

@kbbx9770 I try to always be as patient as possible!

[mrzrockestra]

Try using arm vibrato instead of wrist vibrato

[maxaug99]

@chaleto1 oh Man. Stfu you look like a pedo

[MyMileyfan1]

[Kru1986]

wow...really good job girl!!! :)

[gettingsilly1]

[escapethefateashl33]

[SuperCoverFul]

[katescandyshack]

@SuperCoverFul Haha for a time this video was up for a partnership, so I had to make sure it wasn't breaking any rules!

[userxo1]

[dudleland]

ILY!

[pandiaz]

Thank you. Your work probably will make me to try it.

[markov2b1]

girl, learn to play the piano. youre wasting your "perfect" pitch on just the violin. you can probably play by ear on the piano. i use to play violin, got bored of polishing pieces, i now compose on piano (so much more fun, two hands).

[runescapelegend12345]

ha ha ha ha cacoaphanuos lol. did u make that up. ima use that word now

[dancingdivagirl13]

[1994324]

Great! But I gave up on violin lol. I have a violin that is over 100 yrs old. It was my mothers , mother , grandmothers , daughters violin. I know... It's confusing. Anyways my violin has marble design on the back instead of the normal all plain back. It's old but plays ok but never really had a passion to play it so now I play the piano! But thnx for this vid! ( I'm a boy not a girl lol )

[katescandyshack]

@MsImfeelingfunny

[MsImfeelingfunny]

@katescandyshack Ohh... Right sorry I didnt mean any offence by that comment lol... Good video any ways... helped me a lot!!

[MsImfeelingfunny]

@Omri565

[trexlee1]

Your really good.

[mixalisgg]

i'm falling in love...

[dmmc1043]

sounds really good. very good teaching too... but just for your information, the first note is not C# it's Db... the song is in the key of Ab... the chords are Db (IV), Eb (V), Ab (I) and Fm (VI) ....

[katescandyshack]

You're completely right. Now that I've taken two semesters of college level theory, I'm laughing at my lack of knowing nonharmonic tones/ equivalent tones (C# and Db, etc) haha.

[shiirleiii]

aaaw' yo tambn toco el violinn'

[calzoncagau]

I LOVE YOU! :)

[sportsnutt8]

cuhcoughonous lmao imma start saying that now

[katescandyshack]

Such a good word

[webcamfan2569]

@katescandyshack WHAT IS VIBRATO?

[kajal33]

@sportsnutt8 cacaphonous sort of the plural of cacaphony? !?! :)

[kajal33]

@sportsnutt8 cacaphonous sort of the plural of cacaphony? or verb form of it?

[edgargap9587]

@sportsnutt8

its cacophonous. it does sound nice.

[LeahndEm]

Why do people do that with their fingers?? I play violin and cant get the hang of it. :S I just hold it and everyone else ive seen like wobbles their fingers whilst on the note.. lol

[TheodoreKitty]

its for the vibrato

[concentration64]

@LeahndEm It's to create a small waving sound to give the note more depth.

[BlindSquirrelPro]

will u go out with me

[PianoLover31]

this is cool! =) but too bad i play the cello! if i played the violin i would totally use your videos to learn songs!=)

[lala8557]

Oh my god thanks sooo much i really needed this! thx! =D

[cailoupop]

Ahhh, how do you do vibrato? D: I keep trying but I fail. T.T

[cailoupop]

Wait, so is that a violin you're playing or viola? We're playing this in my orchestra with the music piece and stuff, can you play 2nd Violin (my part)? And do you take request cause I would really like to see you play my part in the orchestra. I'm really lost with this piece. D: I could always scan the music and send but if you can't that's perfectly fine. Thankies!

P.S. You play really well!!! With the staccato and everything. :D

[ebilmuffins]

I like Violas better, but you're quite good at the Violin.

You're adorable, keep playing, Lovie. (:

[MFONE111]

when u play the chorus i think after u play the C sharp then go to E flat, ur supposed to go back to C sharp before u go to F... because when u listen to it (well at least to me) it sounds like he switches off of the E flat before he goes to the F....it was good tho, dont get me wront i just think u missed a note change thats all....keep working ;]
