Excellent video. It clears up my wonder. It might be a little harsh when play some of the 3 note chords This way but the sounds come out same time without delay so you just have to pick and choose the way you prefer I guess.
I'm fairly new to the violin and there's a double stop coming up in my next piece of (simple) music, basically open G & D strings. Told my tutor that this is my speciality! A clean note on the D or A ain't guaranteed! So I gave it a go... it is a very finely tuned bow position... but it worked. Then I wondered about 3-note chords... which found me here! Makes sense to play away from the bridge but I didn't know about the pressing down. I'll come back to this in a decade's time!
Nope. This doesn't work for most 3 string chords you will find in a piece. Generally you play the lowest string in the chord, and then the other two at once, separated by a tiny amount of time. This technique that you show can cause a harsh, low sort of squeaking sound that isn't entirely pleasant.
@@tormclean9657 I get and understand all that. But the language of music tends toward specificity, not approximation. When we talk about a chord, in general we are talking about three concurrent notes. I understand that many consider that notion to be just slightly archaic with the advent of the power chord on electric guitar, but even so I think it's still appropriate to consider a chord as consisting of three concurrent notes.
It strikes me that the middle string must always be slightly sharp with respect to the outside strings in the chord because it is necessarily being placed under greater tension. This is in addition to the inherent difficulty in accurately finding the correct fretting position for three notes at once. Am I wrong?
I was wondering about just this problem trying to figure out how to play the last note of this song (video with notes): ua-cam.com/video/RB06cLVROgo/v-deo.html -- Thanks!
Excellent explanation! Thank you so much for this! Great camera work , too!
i wonder how hillary hahn plays on all of the strings exactly at the same time
Flat bridge society
Maybe a loose bow?
@@rayking2311 that'd make the hairs touch the wood of the bow and you'd still won't be able to play all four
Anyone have a link to her playing it?
@@dzordzszs watch her Bruch Violin concerto, first movement
thank you very much ... the "closer to the finger board" thing was very helpful
No problem!

Don't think of pressing down, think of arm weight. Makes a huge difference in sound.
thank you so much! i’m really thankful! hope you have a nice day
thanks for giving us a 1 minute video, not a 10 minute one :D
Thankyou so much, I have really struggled with this..
Thank you so much! No i can play the national anthems i‘ve been wanting to play :)

Thank you so much, you are so good, you helped me so much on the chords. Thank you!

There are plenty of pieces with many consecutive fast 3 note chords that you can't arpegiate, but actually have to play all 3 notes simultaneously.
But that isn't exactly a single chord. That's an arpeggiation.

@@chuckschillingvideos When you're talking about chords in the violino repertoire, 90% of the time it's arpeggiated. It comes with the territory
good video, nice job!
Thank you!
OMG CMON i just finished 2 notes at the same time freaking violin ok i guess gotta do more :(
thanks

I don’t think so! 😅😅
4 fine tuners ??/????????????????????????
That is so amazingly cool and helpful. You are awesome.
Thanks, Anthony!
Thanks!
Exelent!
Thank you!
There is no middle string tho...
Middle string out of the 3 you use for a 3 note chord
Ghm, interesting...

Hi Michael. Definitely broken. And I would say roll it to complement the speed of the preceding notes.
