Gonna try this. I love the cello but multiple injurist got me here. Asking what was I doing wrong, since everyone said they didn’t know. Now I have a starting point.

First one sounded clunky and dry. Second one sounded a bit hollow; the first one had too much midrange, this one had too little. Third one had more bite than the second, and although it wasn't that impressive, I think I liked that one the most

You'd be hella "frustrated" about how I'm embracing my cello, my-guy.

Sound issues when playing cello

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻 A timely reminder as I advance, to take a step back and USE MY METRONOME!

Thanks Clay for sharing your story, and for being so generous with all the wonderful value you bring in this channel. I also come from an “unprivileged” upbringing and though they has always been food on the table, my single mom was not able to afford instrument and music lessons. I did not give up that dream and here I am, 40 years later finally taking the step to fill this longing. I am learning a lot with you, so thank you for dedicating your life to teaching and sharing ❤

As a new cello student, I appreciate this video, soooo much. Omg

I'm the outsider that thinks nr 2 is the best xD Nr 1 is so sterile to me. Yes, it sounds exactly how you think a cello should sound, but there is almost no character to it - it does sound almost shallow. Nr2 does have the character. I loved the second piece you played on it. The C string sound like a thunder, this mixed with the D and A string, sound so nice ❤ Nr 3 is like a mix of Nr1 and 2. It does have a more sterile sound, but it does have more character in it. I play cello only since April, so yeah, complete beginner 😅

Good morning Clay, ☕️ Thanks again for all of your insight. I take in person lessons for one hour every two weeks. In between those lessons I get a great deal of tips and ideas from your videos. I’m constantly working on getting the most out of the practice sessions.

I wholeheartedly agree As an ex-violinist(intermediate) and a classical guitarist(intermediate), I've always wanted to play that fat cello. Bought a 3/4-sized for my 11-year-old, but she ignored it, so I'm trying to play it now I've no problem with fingerings except couldn't get the pitch accurately (like your intro), so I get you, bro. Playin Cello is a hard, hard life, but once you're in it, you just want to keep going like a fool while disturbing everyone

Thank you Sir for your dedication to teach the cello. I would love for my kids to learn to play this beautiful instrument. I have a 10 and 5 year old. In your opinion, at what age would be the best time for them to start learning how to play the cello?

I have some “feedback” on my phone from yesterday’s practice I will review today before my next practice. Thanks Clay! 🙏🏼

Some times that how I feel, I have a long way to go to get real good at any pieces.

As someone who plays the cello this is so accurate

Ok but what is the fingering 😭

I put my thumb on the u shaped part. But of course my thump is perpendicular to the concave u part. Keep fingers relaxed but pull with your arm weight. Pronate fingers

Clay, Mondays lesson my teacher called me out for a curved 4th finger, not straight finger!

I like 2 but I also like scooped mids and coke zero

You didn't mentioned how to use it

Good suggestions practice needed here. Thanks.

Some good interesting suggestions here thank you.

I get critiqued by my teacher all the time on this, collapsing. I have been using my guitar Gripmaster to strengthen my left hand to get the string down

❤❤❤❤🎉😊

Como posso utilizar a postura para melhorar o som? As vezes quem toca o Cello, movimenta da direita para esquerda e esquerda para direita, qual a função desse movimento? Portugues-Brasil

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉

I agree it's hard to sing for me when playing an instrument for some reason

I feel personally attacked 😂

He gets right to the point. pretty concise and very informative. The way he explains makes it simple to inderstand.

It works on French Bass Bows too

Yeah I got the string vision to help my thumb, you still must concentrate on not locking the thumb knuckle, too much tension as a beginner! Thanks Clay for turning me onto the Stringvision, I notice you are using it on your taped bow

The bow should not come off the string for control while in use.

I already accidentally through my bow multiple times and it's still in perfect condition 😬

I hope that is was not your best bow 🙈

YAYYYYY

good to see you made it!! congrats!

Congratulations on 7K! 🥳

YOU DID IT! 7000 Subscribers! Yay! 👏🏽🥳

I also tried this. I mounted my iPhone slightly above and parallel with my cello. It’s made a huge difference. Thanks Clay!
