The pinky shouldn't be exactly on top of the bow, rather slightly on the player's side. Also there is nothing wrong with putting the thumb on the leather instead of the gap between leather and the frog.
Its not that hard if your passionate in trying to actually LEARN how to play Violin. Maybe you're half-determined to learn it thats why your struggling right now. Trust me just trust the process, and try to find ways on how to make your practices fun because if its boring you'll get bored and will eventually quit playing violin(most likely). I've been playingviolin for over 3.5 years now. And ive mastered it.
@@kimchikin94minminyou can never „master“ violin there is always another step to take I would say that you have gone a considerable way in your violin progress but the violin isn’t something you can actually truly master
Also for maintenance: tighten the bow but don't touch the hairs, rub it with violin rosin until it can vibrate the strings well. Loosen tension on the bow and clean the violin when finished playing. Be careful not to touch the bow hair as the oils stain it and prevent the rosin from sticking and if you don't loosen the tenson on the bow when done it can damage the bow.
@@randybrown2220What do you mean by loosen tension? I am very beginner and was unable to understand the terminology. Could you please let me know from where I can learn the basics like how to start, how to do maintenance rtc
Good question! I've never "seriously" used a bow on my guitar, but I would assume that because of the stance, the bow grip will be more similar to the Cello Bow Grip than the violin one.
That is such a great question! Reprogramming is the right word, you have to practice easy stuff like open strings or easy pieces that you already have mastered to that you can put your entire focus on your right hand. Break your right hand technique down into easy to practice exercise. I would suggest starting with your Thumb position and grip. It's the base of everything. It you "Pinch" or "Over grip" the bow with your Thumb everything will be tensed. I hope that helps! 🎻
honestly, you gotta make it where it’s comfortable for you and it looks professional

i’m in my advanced orchestra and my pinky looks so bad when i look at it 😭 my grip on it tightens so it curves into a u. how do i fix this
If I understand, I think the pinky should curve, but the tip should press directly into the end of the bow
@@randybrown2220 thank you :)
i’ve fixed my bad bow hold long ago but this still helps
My pinky doesn't bend like it bends at the finger pad 😭😂
I'm still struggling!!! 😅😅 how long til I get better at it? 😂😂

I have a Violin just have no idea how to begin I need help
If you need help and would like to have violin lessons go to music4humans.com 😁🎻
I would recommend marking the scales with fret tape for a guide. A good instructor and/or book helps.
Also for maintenance: tighten the bow but don't touch the hairs, rub it with violin rosin until it can vibrate the strings well. Loosen tension on the bow and clean the violin when finished playing.

Once you finish playing loosen the bow so there is no tension on the hairs. Prolonged tension can cause the bow to warp.
What to do if the pinky nail is naturally long? (I can’t cut it cuz it’s connected to the flesh and it’s hurt 😢)
I must have the heaviest bow in the world. The bow and violin are a rental from the school/ repair shop. It feels impossible to hold
What is the song in the background?
Is it the same grip when playing violin bow on guitar?
Good question! I've never "seriously" used a bow on my guitar, but I would assume that because of the stance, the bow grip will be more similar to the Cello Bow Grip than the violin one.
I would not recommend playing guitar with a bow. The metal strings damage the bow and restringing is about as expensive as the bow itself.
I've been playing the violin for 5 years and realized my grip is hella bad how do i reprogram myself to get a good grip on the bow
That is such a great question! Reprogramming is the right word, you have to practice easy stuff like open strings or easy pieces that you already have mastered to that you can put your entire focus on your right hand.

I use the Russian bow hold when I play the violin because my pinky is double jointed.
How do you hold it like this ?! it falls from my hand every time I try to. I can't hold it this way 😢
The pinky helps hold it up. Takes some time to adjust.
To each his own.
Holding the frog and gap
Rounded frog. Is that a viola bow?
Exactly
It's just that my fingers are very skinny xd
My thumbs hurts hella
That is surely a viola bow, which should be gripped differently
This is surely Not a viola bow. And I don't play viola, so maybe you could be helpful and tell us how both bow grips differ 🤔
