@@OneEyedB4stard it would sound like shit without another instrument or two playing the chords. You just can’t simultaneously bow three strings at the same time. Triple stops exist, but you sorta play individual notes ascending strings hastily. Or pluck, but that also would sound like shit probsbly
I am a violin tutor. I had a student once who had been learning for two weeks complain that he couldn't play as good as I could. I had to explain to him that I have been playing for 25 years, and that for a person learning only 2 weeks, he was doing really well 😂
Fun fact, the fine tuners on a violin are what inspired the fine tuners on the floyd rose system, thanks to EVH, that in many ways improved the double locking trem system.
i dont think you do, friction creates heat and that allows the rosin to get on the bow! so you don't even need to scratch it, simply rubbing it on the bow enough should work unless if i've also been lied to for the past 7 years 💀
You do NOT need to rub the rosin against sand paper, just rub the bow on it, the friction is enough. If its a new bow... rub more. Some violinists will have little shaker with powdered rosin in it to use on brand new bows... though this is really not needed. Usually if you're buying a new bow you're at a luthier (violin maker) who will help you.
Any tips for beginners? It took me a while to even hold the bow right. I have to break a lot of old habits from "learning" as a kid. I'm not a complete beginner, I remember stuff from then and can (albeit terribly) play some very simple songs. I have enough of an ear to place my fingers in the right place, plus I'm sure with practice I'll do it automatically. Two major issues seem to be that A. It just sounds bad. Like I can clearly hear the notes but the sound quality is wrong and screechy and B. The tuning pegs slip when I try to tune it even just to get to the right note. (And, coming from piano where there is no tuning involved... omg. So much tuning.)
@@emilyfogerty6438 A) If things are sounding wrong and screechy, try checking your bowing. Try moving you arm faster or slower and try applying more or less pressure. Bowing has a HUGE impact on sound, so try different pressures or speeds. B) If your tuning pegs are slipping a lot, try pushing them in a bit more. If they continue to slip, they make stuff to help with that, I would search it up. Extra Tips: * Violin lessons make a TREMENDOUS difference, even if it's just with a neighbor who can help instead of a professional * If your violin is still producing a bad sound, maybe try out different violin. Some violin shops will let you rent violins for a while
@@emilyfogerty6438ok so A. It is almost always a bow thing. What you need to do is to get a consistent bow stroke that doesn’t swerve across the strings. If you look at professionals their bow barely swerves and when it does it is on purpose. Once you get the consistency down you can start controlling how far the bow is from the bridge. Usually you want the bow to be closer to the bridge on really aggressive or high notes and farther away for a more muted sound. Also note that the weight distribution of the bow is not uniform so when you do full bows you want to slightly speed up near the tip so that you keep a consistent volume. B. When you turn the pegs you want to be constantly applying pressure on them so they don’t get too loose. Kind of like twisting a cork back into a wine bottle.
@@ayeshaanuruddha apply constant pressure to the pegs while tuning. Whenever you adjust the pegs it constantly loosens so you must respond with constant pressure while you tune. Think of it like shoving a cork back into a wine bottle.
Especially on the E string. I play the viola and it hurts me when I hear the violins with new sheet music because god damn do they need to play it 10 times before being in tune
Aah.. I still remember 10 years ago when I was 11 I bought my first violin. As soon as I came home I opened the case and got the violin and bow out and tried to play it. (It smelled really good though ) But it didn’t make any sound so I called my music teacher and told her 😂 She told me to take the rosin and rub it against a coin and then rub it on the bow. It worked.😂❤
When it comes to the shoulder rest, remember these words my teacher bestowed upon me: “make sure the shoulder rest is upside down to show how depressed everyone looks when they walk into orchestra”
I'm not a string-instrument player and the only string instruments I've really played is the guitar and erhu, but GOD, somehow watching the struggles of an unfamiliar instrument is making my inner orchestral cells hurt equally too. Resonance of orchestral dudes? Lol

I just use the end of the bow to scratch the rosin so my bow can pick it up more easily
Only video he failed to Wonderwall us

“Violin is the hardest instrument”
Pianists:🤨
debatable
i play both, while both are difficult, violin is definitely much harder 😭
Pianists what? Violin is still harder although both have infinite skill caps
Nah their both hardest instruments. Especially if the violinist pushes the pianist down the stairs
I play piano, personally easy, but I've never tried violin so I can't compare it seems hard though, I could never 😂
The shoulder rest should be a little closer to you. Just slide it so that is isn’t almost in the middle of the violin.
Love,
A violinist
that rendition of twinkle twinkle made me feel better it was the only song i could play properly, back in my first school violin club
