[smitz5555]

[Danceclp]

thank you thank you thank you! i finally got it!

[tmerlin31845]

Really useful, thanks

[janellezter]

Thank you for this vibrato exercise. A big help...really! I'm having a hard time for vibrato because my violin shakes too! ;)

[reghin79]

I find it difficult to keep the violin still while I'm using vibrato. I suppose it's because I apply too little pressure on the chin rest ?

[loncify]

Amazing violin secret site: vii.nn.cx 

[PaigeMDawkins]

I am still finding it really difficult! I find it hard to relax my finger joints and keep moving in the sideways direction described here, this is gonna take a while...

[maria1625wow]

thats hard! i tried that on my violin and i have a concert on december1,2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­yay!

[bielibergirl]

Wow! It teaches me how to play my violin better. :P

[TheShadowzpk]

excellent

[NathanSaga]

Lol the fingering for me is mehh but i cant seem to keep up with a straight sound, the horse hair bounces off the violin strings. Lol im a noob at the moment but i noticed my left arm gets tired after trying to play. Well practice makes perfect.

[spottedwolfso]

how long would it take for an average learning violinist to master vibrato?

[violinman666]

But what do you do if you are not wating to teach the wrist vibrato rather than arm vibrato?

[realjuvelive]

Hi there! what size should I get? about learning violin..I'm 20

[SupErBigxGulP]

When i try this method to play vibrato, my whole violin shakes along when i move my wrist!! Help please, anyone??

[vildeveitja95]

OH THANK YOU!! finally someone who doesn't tell me to pull my fingers up and down. When i tried to "break" them back and forward, it just felt like beaking every bone in my fingertips and i just felt terrible for making my violin full of bad sounds.

this one seemed really good! :)

[RexRed2]

Wow, i couldn't get the right angle on my fingers to make my wrist flexible and this did it you are awesome!!! :)

THANKS!

[JenPevarnek]

Amazing! Thank you so much!

[RandomCoked]

YEAH FINALLY SOMEONE ON YOUTUBE WHO IS GENUINELY CAPABLE AND WILLING TO SHARE! thank you.

[aliceangelTV]

Been playing classical violin for over 10 years , and found your video has taught me a better , more effecient wayt of playing vibrato - thank god for violinists like you!

[aliceangelTV]

Playing classical for over 10 years , and found your video has corrected a decade of bad vibrato for me - if only we all had teachers like you. thankyou !

[barbiemargilina]

yes ty ty in a million

[zeagle1979]

That's actually how I learned after some time trying just finger oscillations. I consider this an old school approach to vibrato, and it works. I also consider it a top-down approach to vibrato, whereas one can fine tune amplitude and speed 'after' they get the basic motion.

[aringua]

nice video it helps me a lot thanks... im practicing ut the violin is shaking when i do the vibrato... so hard!

[april1071]

this is enlightening!! Jeez...I've been teaching myself violin but I can't get over with vibrato technique...It's my pain in the ass. But this is good. Heheheh

[marek007able]

@april1071 same me... my left hand is kind of useless...

[LexingtonWells]

@april1071

Oh don't worry, you'll get there. Vibrato is notoriously hard to learn and it takes time to make it sound good, sometimes years. I've been playing for years and I still don't have it quite right yet. Just don't give up, we all have a virtuoso in us waiting to play =)

[09pitchez]

thanks!now i know how to to vibrato..:D

[kyosato27]

hi..pls answer, Does the vibrato in the guitar same as on violin? pls help.. and for this video, It helped me a lot..tnx..

[redoubt9000]

@kyosato27 no not really. with vibrato on guitar you are RAISING the pitch as you bend the string SIDE to SIDE.

with violin you are not bending the string, and you are lowering the pitch by rolling from the tip of your finger, down the length of your finger - and returning to the original pitch by rolling back to the tip of your finger (instead of raising, and returning to the original pitch with the guitar.) this is done along the length of the violin string, unlike the side2side w/ Guitar

[kyosato27]

@redoubt9000 Uhmm tnx..i finally realized now.

[redoubt9000]

@kyosato27 sry, NOT the entire length of your finger, just to the area above the first crease of your finger :P

[cgviolin12]

@kyosato27 In my opinion, definitly not. I have a friend who plays guitar, and I tried doing vibrato on his instrument, but couldn't with my technique. Neither could he when he tried my instrument.

[violiner9391]

might be the worst sounding vibrato that i have ever heard

[PaulRamos1993]

@violiner9391

Hi, I'm just looking for an answer to my question: I can play guitar, does that makes it easier for me to learn how to play the violin?

Apreciate an answer, thank you.

[sopranods]

@PaulRamos1993

Yes & no! Yes: Your ears might be more sensitive to the intonations & you can read the staff. No: Unlike guitar, Finger position on violin is hard to judge & if your finger moved 5mm over, you might hit a different note. Learn to play violin is easy but to get the right note that's one of the hardest. But practise does make perfect. I suggest you try it.

[shockingreality]

@PaulRamos1993 I play guitar as my main instru....I learn violin quite fast and well... :))

[ungusfungus]

@PaulRamos1993 No not really, completely different instruments.

[redoubt9000]

@PaulRamos1993 not at all. I picked up violin and have played guitar for 10 years. totally different instruments, and employ completely different techniques. although i guess fretting on a guitar for a while will just be a minor thing accomplished on violin - your biggest problem would be intonation by far... bowing technique as well is important

BUT... I'm enjoying it, I was in a rut w/ guitar for a while- and learning something new/challenging is refreshing to say the least :)

[amy4everhis]

This is very helpful. Thank You! :)

[violinplayer33]

i do it wrong

[theartist087]

[poppychops9]

Thank you I am just learning violin, this will be very helpful when I am learning vibrato. Does it make your fingers sore?

[ifakemyname]
