Its interesting here how unorthodoxy is heavily frowned upon based on a number of comments relating to this vid. On guitar it would be very acceptable for somebody to post a vid like this one up.
I want to learn cello but hope I don't become such a stooge for "proper instruction"

Those of you defending the guy, it's not about people being jerks. The guy isn't demonstrating proper technique - at all. You have to have proper technique to learn the cello so you can develop the muscle memory you need. If you want to learn from a real cellist, search for the David Finckel - a highly respected cellist.

This is not 100% the technique one picks up in the conservatories and universities today, but it is effective. Remember, the technique police won't go after you! The only thing that matters is the sound and the simplicity (in that order). Some people seem to regard technique as a sort of game with rules. This is not the case. It can't be, as there are so many kinds of bodies and so many kinds of minds.

"Your D is half a finger position from your nut." Sounds like masturbation lessons.
