Questo ragazzo non ha la minima idea di come si suona il violoncello, vada a studiare in una scuola seria prima di permettersi di fare il maestro!

This is incorrect. Cello students, please do not follow this guy's advice. He's not a real cellist.
-
Keep your fingers on the fingerboard!!

what he is saying about practicing with the metronome is correct. it can definitely help.
BUT the point of having a video and not just sound or a written description is to SHOW how it's done.
And his vibrato is wrong. he twists his wrist and extends his fingers too much.
it's not good for the hand and the technique. it's a strain on the hand.
if you play the cello like that and twist your wrist, it's not a good vibrato.

@Ondore88 you learn from teachers, not composers (unless they are cellists who composed etudes for the instrument)
Nobody is mocking him!!
The point is to warn people about bad videos.
If a unsuspecting person watches this to improve their vibrato and thinks that this is the way to do it, not only will it not look right, it will hinder them. and that is downright dangerous. it can damage your technique and even your hand's tendons!

I actually know this guy. These vids were part of a pitch to Expert village to demonstrate the series and were not supposed to go public. He's the first to admit that he's ENTIRELY SELF TAUGHtT and has no business teaching technique. That being said, these vids are several years old and his technique tone and intonation is significantly better.

@iBeeJaysonaa no, a bass is eadg and a cello is cgda. basses are tuned to a fourth and a cello is tuned to a fifth

OK but the important thing with vibrato technique is that the movement takes place in the whole of the fore arm from your elbow to your fingers, not just in the wrist. The arm should be in a straight line and there is no twisting of the wrist. Also, if you''re playing vibrato on the 3rd finger for example, fingers 1 & 2 should be relaxed and in contact with the fingerboard.
