[YTUBE508]

thanks so much. I'm playing fantasia for my concert and I seriously needed help on the glissando.

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

this is awesome! i'm starting Wienawski #2 and this was extremely helpful! do you have a video about up-bow staccato?

[ViolinistTB]

Thanks! Great Video! I'm working on "Pope's Concert" from the Red Violin. This will help a lot. :D

[jnliss]

Do you offer clinics or masterclasses for teachers or advanced students?

[webcamfan2569]

@professorV Um how many violin lessons are there total? Plus do you have any clarinet lesson videos?

[DoReme2010]

Prof, excellent explanation! I had always wanted to be able to do this. Now I can. I joy many of your great videos.

[playmorebluegrass]

and i thought pizcato was hard.....u make this look easy bro! thanks for your videos. best on youtube!

[mojamal]

Hi, thanks for your interesting videos, these are very useful lessons and information not only for violin students but for teachers as well.

[RichardKleiner]

Hey, I don't know how to play the violin, but I was wondering about a particular slide sound used with violin, it's usually heard in horror movies, where it starts from a very low note to a very high one.

I'm in a debate with a friend if it is a glissando or a portamento. Could you help me on that? That would be greast.

[rwtartantitan]

Hi, your videos are a real enrichment for youtube, cause i couldn't find such explanation (of violin-techniques) like yours anywhere else! I'm practising Introduction and Rondo by Saint-Saens and you yet helped me with my staccato. Thank you and keep on uploading great videos;-)

[professorV]

Hi and thank you.  Good luck with the Intro and Rondo, it's a great piece!

[kendrickho]

thanks for your videos

[anupamsircar]

I just hope youtube will not ever remove your videos!!!!!!!!!

Great video~

[qwertyuiokjhnm]

Hello professor, I'm currently confounded by double artificial harmonics, could you please make a video on it. Also, could you please make a video on pizzacatos, I found that plugging the strings in decending scales (eg: plugging a G on the E string to the open G on the G string in a scale pattern) is tremendously hard, in that I couldn't plug it out loud. , and I want to find a way to practise it and get it straightened out.

Could you please make videos on them, please? Thank you very much!!!

[CHARLYNESE]

MUY INTERESANTE , EXCELENTE.GRACIAS

[Yukiyukineko]

I've been wanting to learn for years now, and watching a few of these videos has given me the final push, the last bit of confidence needed to actually go and try! Thanks! You should really play a piece for your fans!

[kingbee847]

Thanks, Prof., for your usual clear and concise demonstration of this particular technique. The way you target the 3rds on the beat makes such good sense and gives clarity to the study. I will be working on this one!

[Lypur]

wow!! very cool!!! thanks ProfessorV!!! :D

[professorV]

Hi Andrew, I was watching one of your videos today. It was really good and the video quality is amazing!

[Lypur]

Hey Todd! :)

Cool! Which video was it? Thanks! I've sunked a lot of time and money into getting great qualtiy. It's always nice to hear when people notice it! (btw) I had my first violin lesson today! After I practise up a little i'll make a video and send it to you :) the teacher i'm taking lessons with is leaving at the end of june so maybe I'll make my video in july? that way you won't see how much i suck right now (haha)

[professorV]

It was the circle of 5ths video. How can you up-load 30 minutes of HD video?

Good luck with the violin lessons!

[Lypur]

ohh! how did you like that one? I'm not sure if it was my best work :D i'd love to know what you think of lesson #18 (relaxing the mind)

To upload the HD video? mmm  first you need and HD camera, and you need an account that let's you post long videos. If you have those to things then you should be able to upload the video, (although it takes a long time)

[professorV]

I watched lesson #18 last night. It is very good and I actually took notes! Thanks for pointing it out to me.

[pikachoi2007]

this is cool

[horseycutie]

Hey Prof, I have a question about his technique in a certain piece. Is this technique used in Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saens? Or is the chromatic scale just a slide in this piece? Thanks in advance.

[professorV]

Hi, It's different. The chromatic scale in the Rondo is not written under a slur, so you get the articulation with the bow instead of the left hand. The left hand would just play a slide. Make sense?

[AndromedaAiken]

Is that a new violin?? How come it's a lighter shade of brown than your other videos?

[rhye999]

please make a video of trembling bow problem

[cmariamagda]

Wonderful! I play a lot of glissando at piano in the piece The spinner and I love it!!!!

[hollermahler]

Wow, I didn't expect a response so fast! Thanks ProfessorV!

On the down B-B (A string) chromatic glissando, I assume you used your 3rd finger all the way down until you ended in 1st position, in which case you used your other fingers (eg., 2nd finger on C#, then C natural, etc.)?

[professorV]

Hi hollermahler, I did that example all on the first finger. This will probably be confusing, but if I were playing the descending B chromatic on a 3rd finger, I'd probably come down to the D#, then play D with the 2nd, C# with the 1st, then shift and play the C with a 2, and finish on a 1. So, 3-321-21. I can make it cleaner than 32-21-1.

[hollermahler]

interesting finger combination. I'll try the 3-321-21. Also, is there any advantage to playing the glissando with just the first finger? I'd imagine it would be the smoothest.
