hey Jen that is great but what happened to the abs !!! LOL

the first one was so much help Awsum!!!

time to practice!!

[TheHotViolinist]

@chopperwheels My abs are always showing- under my clothes.

[maninredhelm]

The part where you were flubbing a little is where the abs are a good backup plan. Got to be ready to play that off vaudeville style.

[TheHotViolinist]

@maninredhelm Haha! Got it. I will remember that next time :)

[lfsabch]

really wish my parents forced me to do violin as a kid.... now i can only watch and admire

[TheHotViolinist]

@lfsabch amen @chopperwheels. I also started as an adult.

[agalloch07]

[soulsurf3r]

I don't know a thing about violin but im ur fan ! :D

[israelredden]

nevermind about that second part.

[israelredden]

I'm going to do what's called a compliment sandwich.

First, I'd like to say that I first came across the Hot Violinist video as I was just starting to learn to play violin earlier this year, and I found your rendition inspiring. I love it, and I've been dying to learn it the way you play it.

Second, hey, what happened to part 3?  I'm sitting here in agony just waiting for it!

Lastly, Can't thank you enough for making these instructional videos. My tutor moved away, and I've been doing it alone.

The clip of you playing this live is my new favourite video on youtube! Congratulations!! This one could have been improved with some abs footage :-p

[philochristos]

You rock! Thank you!

[mgb00xx]

estas bien linda muchacha, super hermosa!!!

[pasoeva]

thank you for the video and the sheets of course, but I'm so excited that I can't wait for the next part . ..now that I have sheets, I'll try myself and then correct by watching your lessons:)

[neozenith]

Somehow I don't think you need more practice at The Kiss, given that you have played it thousands of times... More likely the muscle memory isn't used to slowing it down. Thanks for yet another well paced and succinct tutorial.
