@SkeletalClown yes and no. When I was taught by my professor. You will first use tiny tapes or pencil marks to know where to play. After that you feel it once you learn by ear.

Wow... and I thought guitar was hard... this is the real deal, playing by ear and no frets! One day I may have the guts to learn it, but for now.. where's my guitar .. ^_^

@spoon149 There is also tools called "Finger Fingers" which you can paste on your fingerboard that show you exactly where your fingers should go in different color schemes. This is certainly very helpful for beginners.

@stevosmusic I agree that it is good to focus on one instrument but I think it is also good to be versatile and have the ability to play multiple instruments. If you have knowledge of a previous instrument, it certainly does help you learn other instruments.

@SapphireCountryJewel This would be a slide of the note which is more a fiddle technique. For violin playing, you want to place your finger on the exact spot you are trying to hit and try not moving into the note unless you are trying to do a slide.

This is a really good video, what does moving your finger back & forth as you play a note do? It sounds different to me.

@eldavison1 You can use stickers or there are also tools like "Finger Finders" which you can tape on the instrument. It is very helpful being that the violin is a fretless instrument!
