I thank you more than words can express I started to play balalaika a few months ago and this video helped me learn katyusha quickly enough to be able to play it correctly in under a week. So I played it for my (german/russian) family and my great grandma started to sing and to dance with my grandpa to this song. This is one of the best and last memory i ever shared with her and ever will. Thank you for that, sincerely. I am so proud that i have this memory ingraved in my mind, and i had to thank you for it ❤

Sounds great!

«Ну хто так играет? Пальчиками её, пальчиками!» Зачёт, товарищ!

Thanks so much for the guide!

Amazing and beautiful

I just got one too, learning to strum it because i think it sounds more authentic, however, I (too) am using a pick on mine too 3 string.

Blah blah blah don't say it just play it , we'll watch you

It sounds kind of similar to when I am working on dinosaur bones😂

Thank you man!

I’ve just acquired a cheap one. I’ve scoured endless videos on what to do with/ how to tune these instruments. Yours is the best and clearest by far. Thanks a lot.

please make more tutorials!!

unrelated to the video but you should deffinetly make more Balalaika tutorials, for different folk songs, I'd really love to learn Kalinka, i have already learned from your Balalaika tutorials but there's not enough...

Tabs?

Thank you for the tutorial!! Not too many people make guides; for a solo learner, it's a life saver!

Sounds wonderful on the lute, well done!

Bro, this song is called Kalinka Malinka, not Katyusha. 🤣

Thanks so much for making this guide! This is the song that first wanted to make me learn balalaika, a couple of years ago... I gave up with the idea once, rediscovered the same song and decided to jump for it, saved up the money, purchased a balalaika and - damn! Nearly destroyed in shipping. Head snapped clean off. Two months of procrastination and restoration work and I finally sit down to learn to play, and not only have you made a guide to the exact song I want, but it's easy for a beginner like me! Thanks again from the UK!

Thank you for your tutorial. It was very good.

from what i was told archeology is about 80% research, 15% writing and 5% digging. if you're lucky

Where did you buy this lute from?

I cannot find the notes for this :( Could you help?

this is soo cool. love

Thanks for this! I just got myself a balalaika and I'm trying to learn how to play it, so your tutorials for katyusha and korobeiniki make it really full and accessible for my musically-challenged self.

Love a good mythic tale!! That is a great touch to put the finger in one of the doorknobs, very fun!

Interesting video. Your camera work is better than you give yourself credit for, but never stop improving. Love the historical videos btw

Can you adjust the String Action on your Laute? Wouldn't it be easier then to Play. And some fresh Strings would be nice also

Why are you using a pick?

Beautiful

Your a great teacher thanks!

Another song would be great. So few tutorials out there, it would be nice to have more. Thanks so much for this one!

Great tutorial, but real balaika players don't use guitar picks!

Yo, I bought the same model yesterday hahahah

Bravo

Is this a 1980 Moskou olimpics balalaika?? I have on too!! Different one tho

best balalaika demo on youtube

That was so epic, i know it's probably 2 years late but if u can, I think it'll be pretty cool for you to do a tutorial on the song or where do u think I should learnt it?

Did you know that the Balalaika three strings
