violin in three weeks

i bought a second-hand violin for $40, and started to learn the lessons from youtube videos! =D now i'm pretty confident of what i have in 3 weeks =D

are there any videos i can learn from, so that i can fix my problems on fingering of my left hand? so far, youtube videos give enough explanation for the right hand. thanks to those who uploaded them!

Hi sionit, I was also wondering which videos you're watching so checked out the link you posted in response to DeathNoteRyuk24 question, unfortunately the link to the playlist doesnt work for me. would you be able to check the link again if it works?? thanks a lot

[sionit]

@javaMe yep i posted the link like that, because it's not possible to post link in video's comments. if you replace the "youtube" into the normal triple-w dot youtube dot com then the rest view_play_list?p=D03DC71DA7979­5E0 combined should work :)

@sionit hey i bought my self a violin for around 40$ too! lol i suck at it and im teaching my self.. how di you do it? di you ever get a Teacher?

[sionit]

@violet1197 the violin kept breaking the e string because of the problematic tuning pegs (what can i expect, it's a cheap one). i also found something else better suited to my hands, so i stopped playing violin :)

the violin might not have as many notes but there is alot more of technique compared to the guitar, piano, and bass.

very good. are you still practicing?

what is the label name inside the violin/fiddle? it looks sweet in color.

ahmaigawrsh tighten the bow, please! sorry it's just bothering me; it also might help the sound. Your left hand looks pretty good, but your right should be flexible when bowing. It's been almost 5 years, are you still playing?

@virdenfiddler If you're talking about basic block chording, simple melodies, "cowboy chords," then maybe you're right. There's a lifetime of more nuanced learning in any of these instruments if your interest goes beyond the beginner basics into actual music-making. Ask any classical guitarist, pro bassist, and/or successful concert pianist.

@virdenfiddler Ive been taking 10 years of guitar lessons and i recently have picked up violin and I totally agree with you, and bass is 'basically' guitar haha.

@virdenfiddler

i wouldnt be so sure about classical guitar

[Kittypoon1]

im not a good violinist and you're pretty good with the notes, THAT i see. But, your pinky is supposed to be bent and your hand needs to be straight

[TheCille1111]

You have a good ear for music.

[eulianotee]

@12aapjes hahaha thats why you need to pay for lessons! and in person

[12aapjes]

Your bow hold is awful... Your right elbow should be slightly *above* your hand so you kind of lean into it. Not hanging down from your hand as you show in your video. If this is the result from your learning from video lessons (where it's not shown like this) then you're better off taking real lessons...
