I am sorry to say but you got a bad position, you should try fixing it, because if you play like that for years, it's going to be hard to fix your position and I mean really hard.
@hexcane You can angle the bow to run across two strings. It very rarely happens in classical violin, but a lot of fiddle tunes do so. Actually it takes some practice just to not accidentally hit the adjacent strings when you first start playing. It's one of the reason beginners squeak so much... that and inexperienced bowing.
@hexcane The strings are positioned so that it is possible to play one string on its own or two at once comfortably. By moving away from the bridge it is actually possible to play 3 at once while using more weight. 4 is even possible but depending on the expertise of the player with varying degrees of compromise to the tone.
very much the upper half. Right folks, this is Folk music. Firstly look how beautifully free her right wrist is, thats why the sound is so free and gorgeous. The scroll is down cos that is often the style of folk fiddlers, it makes a darker earthier sound, and the scroll does not need to be up as one does not need to access the higher postitions! And use of upper half is also stylistic and influences the tone also. Critics learn some facts before u criticise!! Great playing, Beautiful, Well done
Well done, beautiful playing, I tried to troll through the comments to find what some people had been saying negatively about posture to address those criticisms specifically and got to about page 5 and got bored looking. Frankly it is irrelevant. You are playing beautifully. Great sound, tuning style and phrasing. All I can think is these idiots who think they are experts cos they have had a few classical lessons though probably play like shit have noticed your scroll is down and you are using
omg, screw the hand position thing, i've never in my life seen FIDDLERS holding the violin right, its awesome that you're into it and having fun and we totally enjoy it, that was great
@jjwierd you don't need sheet music!listen to it listen to it again then find the notes on your instrument.this would be a great slow tune to develop your ear with.also you pick up part of the stylistic approach of her playing violinists mainly play from dots fiddlers from ear.to play this kind of music you must trust your ear over everything else.that is not to say there aren't allot of good collections of tunes written down but you must be able to play from how it sounded good luck
@dancingfeetylem That is so true, and after two weeks of practice. and a LOT of re-watching this video... I finally can play something that sounds like this :D but thanks for the little motivational speech :)
A true demonstration of folk music and feeling from any country. It's about having fun and getting a nice sound, regardless of technique. Sounds great!
its interesting how similar old american folk fiddle sounds like this... of course most of the settlers in the mountains came from scotland/ireland (i know my family did) so it only makes sense :) great playing 5/5
thats all u can say...u cant say its sounds great as well?? besides, fiddlers dont normally pay attention to finesse details that strictly classical musicians pay attention to.
Don't listen to people yacking about hand position and posture. You play the way you play and if they don't like it--who cares? That was wonderful, I wish I that good.
@Kirke182 me and my gran who has played for 80 odd years had this very conversation last week when she noted my hand and fiddle position. Being completely self taught I do not use anything other than the first position and I can hold the fiddle In some odd positions at times but it really doesnt matter. there is no right or wrong in my opinion, just good sound or horrid sound! And yes I squeak at times!
@sixyearcycle Generally, when people log onto these clips, ignore the music and attack every little thing they can about position and posture, it's jealousy. Either they know they're not as good and it rankles them or they took lessons for years and get mad when somebody self-taught playing in a way they were told is wrong plays as good as they do or blows them away. Then there's the age thing too. People get jealous when a kid at 6 or 7 is already better than they are or will ever be.
Nope no frets! :) Although, I actually found the violin easier than the guitar and I started with the guitar and then went to the violin. I'm hoping to add a mandolin to list this Christmas...hint, hint, Mom and Dad. :)
Haha, that's funny. :) The reason I want to try the mandolin is because the strings are the same notes as the violin. And, my family will tell you I have no trouble playing things fast! Most of the time (they say) I play the piano so fast that they can't even spit out the words (if they are singing with me). :)
lol. No frets. sorry, you'll have learn where all the notes are by feel and ear. A lot of private teachers will put tape marking where your fingers go for certain notes when teaching beginners. That'll help when learning.
I'm impressed. You make it look easy. Did you play at the Holyrood homecoming this past July? Also, have you ever heard this song played on the bagpipes or have you played with a piper?
i wish i could once veiw a vid without seeing 3 or 4 know it alls adding their 2 cents to every performance. shes clearly great. if you can do better post it. then we can rip you apart on small things that dont matter anyways.
I don't think you can compare the classical violin to the fiddle and claim one style is superior to the other. When played by an individual, this music has great emotional value, on a par with a full orchestra. It just depends on how you want to listen to it.
Great sound. 7893458, she's not leaning too much, we're not talking classical music but fiddle here. Vibrato doesn't necessarily mean improvement. That was so hard to teach my Asian students. You might notice the position of the right hand (bow) is pretty high as well. This is normal too. It's a matter of sound/balance.
FYI, if you want to play 3 string at once, use a violin with a rather flat bridge, or a bow you don't like too much. Cheers!
I never knew that fiddle was done differently than classical music, all the time I have been playing I have been being told that you can never lean down while you are playing, but I guess I have been playing classical this whole time so that is probably why!
Good thing I lost my fiddle books (but found them again today) otherwise I would've been playing wrong for months!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She is leaning over too much, but good sound.
Leaning over like that can make it harder to do vibrato, which is probably why I didn't hear much, I saw her fingers doing some wiggle but not much and not enough range.
Leaning over too much? Looks like she is well endowed and may need to, ever think of that. Vibrato is only really needed on long notes. Listen more and look less.
same instrument. fiddle because it is being played informally... it is the informal way of calling a violin. fiddle because they're not playing classical music on it etc
itzhak perlman the classical Violinist always called himself a fiddle player and in Galicia the Celtic area of Spain they often call the Fiddle a Violin. Since the popular swing of Traditional music has hit in the 60's the term "Fiddle" and "Violin" has been characterized by how it was played and not how it was made. There is a Fiddle style of music (folk that cannot necessarily be notated) and Violin classical which is often notated. So genre tradition and style are the biggest differences.
Bob Wills said it best. A violin makes music and a fiddle makes money. Same instrument. Large variety of strings make it tremendously versatile. Great instrument to try and master., Except for your family who have to listen to your early days. Nothing sounds much better than good fiddling. And the sounds a bad or beginner can make are about like finger nails on a chalk board.
she seems a tad top heavy which may explain her difficulty in remaining up right, just a thought. Other than that its one of my favorite vids on youtube.
chill out man, he has a right to comment I play both classical and trad. irish mostly not upright but wouldnt beat anyone up if they told me the way they think I should play.
chill out!! best way to fiddle is by feeling comfortable... u only have to sit up straight if your trained in an orchestra.... stop giving out and post a tune of your own and we compare hows that sound....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, sitting up straight is not just for orchestras it also makes you look more serious and it doesn't injure your back, Second, you may be right i don't know how to play the fiddle but i bet i can beat her at the classical violin at any time.
tru ya can get a bad back from it but if she is comfortable playin that way and she sounds great she doesnt have to change!! I say you probably would if she doesnt play classical music..ya never knw though!! she could play both! or many other different styles!
In general, the violin tends to be cleaner because, for obscure reasons, fiddlers seem to believe that rosin residue improves the sound of the instrument. Other than that, no difference whatsoever. The difference mainly applies to the style of playing the same instrument.
I heard the difference was one has a slight arch were the strings are and other is flat. It's just something I heard and I wouldn't know for sure because I don't play I just like listening to both.
No, it is the same instrument, identical in all respects. Any fiddle player can play any violin, and any violinist can play any fiddle - the difference is only what different musicians call the instrument.
Any play can get their instrument modified - some bridges are flatter to make double stopping (ie, chords) easier to play, but that makes changing between individual strings more difficult. You can also have different kinds of strings for different sounds, or add microphones (pickups), etc.
the instrument is actually different to the violin. The fiddle had only 3 strings but the melody is only played at two of the 'cuse the 3rd is used as bordun.
I found the sheet music for this "Slow Martch"" at mindlabratory dotcom under the music section. Enjoy and post your interpretations

she seems a tad top heavy which may explain her difficulty in remaining up right, just a thought. Other than that its one of my favorite vids on youtube.

Second: Sit up straight.
And Third: ACTUALLY TRY NOT TO BORE YOUR PUBLIC TO SLEEP.

Well, sitting up straight is not just for orchestras it also makes you look more serious and it doesn't injure your back, Second, you may be right i don't know how to play the fiddle but i bet i can beat her at the classical violin at any time.

whats the difference between a violin and a fiddle ?
flamexXxstrings 2 years ago
In general, the violin tends to be cleaner because, for obscure reasons, fiddlers seem to believe that rosin residue improves the sound of the instrument. Other than that, no difference whatsoever. The difference mainly applies to the style of playing the same instrument.

The fiddle has a flatter bridge, easier to play the chords.

I heard the difference was one has a slight arch were the strings are and other is flat. It's just something I heard and I wouldn't know for sure because I don't play I just like listening to both.

No, it is the same instrument, identical in all respects. Any fiddle player can play any violin, and any violinist can play any fiddle - the difference is only what different musicians call the instrument.
Any play can get their instrument modified - some bridges are flatter to make double stopping (ie, chords) easier to play, but that makes changing between individual strings more difficult. You can also have different kinds of strings for different sounds, or add microphones (pickups), etc.

the instrument is actually different to the violin. The fiddle had only 3 strings but the melody is only played at two of the 'cuse the 3rd is used as bordun.
