Violin Lesson #41; Introduction to Double-Stops pt.1

Please know that it could easily take a year (or more!) of playing before you are ready for this. However, it's probably just right for someone!
Perhaps I've given more information then I should have in one video. Just try to take some part of it, absorb it, and come back for more later. Good luck.

i saw 3 notes at once at the last (7th) piece of Suzuki Book 3

is that possible?

i don't understand it.

This is called a triple-stop. Play the bottom two notes, then roll the bow and play the middle and top (the middle note is the connecting note). Make sure you don't play the high note all by itself.

I cannot tell you how awesome this video is! I have been playing for a long time and have always hated double stops. The lower B note with the lower string!!!! Higher with the E!!!! This would have saved me years of frustration. Thanks for solving the mystery

Happy to have helped! Thanks for letting me know.

There's also a triple-stop in the Bach Cello Suite of Suzuki Book 3. How did you carry on with that?
