As a piano player, I find this really intimidating. Having no frets or keys is really unfamiliar for me.
not to worry
Right? i play guitar but the violin, cello and every string instrument without any frets are very intimidating
I grew up playing viola and now I’m teaching myself cello and piano. I feel just hitting a key and being in tune is so easy but the piano chords are challenging!
Yeah piano without frets is just weird
Thank you Jonathan, as a rookie I've been going through some of your videos. The patient delivery and trace of humour never fails to make me smile. 👍
I'm very happy we went to a music shop today and we rented a cello but the sound peg was loose so I have to wait a day or 2. I can't stop smiling!!!!!!!
I'm happy for you. 👍 😊
A few weeks ago I had asked Mr. Humphies about what tape works well and he recommended this:
Chartpak BG1251M Graphic Art Tape, 1/8 W x 324 L Inches, Black Matte, 1 Roll www.amazon.com/dp/B001Q4HX36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AMo1CbZMEV26W
@@Kenji1685 Hello Can I use it for all four fingers ?
How did this go for you, curious after 2 years!
Those scissors had me laughing out loud 😂 thanks for the lesson!
Great lesson!!
Best part for me starts at 3:23. Trying to learn this. Need a video of it at about 60bpm to really see what is going on.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing your art with us.
Cheers
Agree, sounded awesome. I know I should know the answer, but what is that piece called?
bach 1st suite im pretty sure@@footcandy
Ravi,enfin de trouver des conseils....;en Français. En plus les explications sont limpides et la douceur du ton invite à l'attention. je reviendrai.
Thank you for your teaching!
This so good, please do the other possitions :)
This is so encouraging, thank you.
You are welcome
I just downloaded your App which is amazing 😍. Thanks you so much!
You're so welcome!
So inspirational. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
i started playing cello like 3 days ago and ive been looking for videos like these and the hardest part for me is the bow like where u place your fingers on the bow
I’m a guitarist and I find this intimidating!😮
Thank you
Thanks a lot!! Best teacher!!!!
Thank you
Wow...I'm just starting and this was SOOOO helpful !! Thank you !
glad to help
Thank you! Really beautiful
Thank you too!
where and how can I get an economical cello for full size person?
ayo could you maybe explain how to play A sharp and natural on the A string please bc im in my orchestra and the sheet music is freaking out 😀
Hello Johnathan! your videos are truly inspiring and thank you for doing them! Will you be addressing second and third positions? I see you've already posted 4th position. Also, can you address how we read the positions, exercises to shift between them?

How Do you Know on what part, or how far up of the Cello's neck, do you Place The Tape???
one question do you need to hold 2 fingers on the same string? it sounds redundant to me. I have 0 knowledge on string instruments except the piano
Hi, I’m just starting to relearn cello from school age and overwhelmed by the videos you’ve shared - thank you! I’m just wondering where is the best place to start? Also, could I please have a copy of the scales book you mention? I have emailed but not heard anything! Thank you so much - love your videos! :)
I hope ou emailed me correctly jh@jonathanhumphries.com

@@CelloCoach oh no I have emailed jh@johnhumphries.com 🤦🏼♀️ I have just emailed the correct address - many thanks! ☺️
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
@@gracewallisstudio ahh that’s great 😃 hope it’s going well!
Hello, where can i get the tape. I am from Germany. Greetings Sabine
Jonathan Humphries, boa tarde . favor colocar as distâncias de cada fita que foram colocadas no braço do violoncelo? eu vi no seu vídeo 07 (sete) marcações com as fitas. meu cello é de 4/4 e sinceramente não quero comprá-las. eu pretendo medí-las com régua e colocá-las. pode enviar as distâncias das fitas em cm ou como vocês usam aí no seu país. eu consegui colocar no meu violino e deu certo . fico no aguardo e muito obrigada.
Fita = largura de 3 mm, toda a fita na corda de re
Pestana a primeira fita (mi) = 7,5 mm
1ª ao 2ª fita 7.8 - 10.8
2ª ao 3ª fita (fa #) = 11,1 - 13,8
3ª ao 4ª a fita (sol) = 14,1 - 17,3
4ª ao 5ª fita (la) = 27,6 - 32,6
5ª ao 6ª fita (si) = 32,9 - 37,8
6ª ao 7ª fita (do) = 38,1 - 40,1
7 ao 8 passo (re) = 40,4 - 44,4
Merci 🙏
Avec plaisir!
what you mean 'when u find' do you need perfect pitch to even play cello?
Dear Jonathan!thanks 4 ur video.i have a question, can you please help me???
how to play with different finger positions on g string without touching d string?😭
I tried a lot but I dont know which way is right...☹
Move your thumb over to the left side of the neck, in the back. It will lift your palm higher and give you more clearance.
Hi, can you recommend a cello beginner tutorial for me? Thank you!
This entire channel is your tutorial. I've been teaching 23 years, and have taught absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of music how to play cello. Advice : start with the playlists - Basics of Cello and Essential Skills - while you enrich your knowledge base with Cello Coach talks, and of course subscribe to stay motivated and informed.
great video
Thanks!
My fingers are on the correct position but the thumb is hard to be in postion. Sometimes I pressed my fingers down without the thumb. Am I wrong? Even changing strings, my thumb will not be in same position.
What does a person do if their fingers won't "spread" far enough apart to put all fingers in first position at the same time? I would say that I have average-sized hands for a female, but the fingers just won't spread apart as yours do in the video,with one finger on each note of first position. Also, my pinky is kind of short and does not even reach the fingerboard when the other 3 fingers are in place, unless I cock my hand at a weird, painful angle. Any thoughts?
I have the same issue with hand spread, and I let my 1st and 2nd fingers lift up a little when needed to place the 4th down.
Practice and time will make the hand stronger and more flexible. 😎
elbow and wrist position?
What song that you played in video? I hear it many time, but don’t know name
Could you suggest me about beginner cello book. Thanks a lot : )
Suzuki Book 1
@@CelloCoach thank you for your advice : )
what is the name of the music he played at the last? Thanks!
Johann Sebastian Bach / Suite n°1 - Prelude.
What kind of tape is that?
Chartpak amzn.to/2Xxquip or colored amzn.to/2Y47yog
I wanna learnnn haha
👍👏👏
Merci!
What was the name of the song u played at the end
Hello, i believe that the song he played is called Cello Suite 1 Prelude, by Johann Sebastian Bach.
@@dynasty8089 beginner here.. thank you for that answer .. I find it beautiful
What song is this?
at what point?
my grandparents randomly got my a cello because I said I wanted one a few months ago and I only know the violin 😭😭
Welcome to the journey, panino. It's more fun on our side of the orchestra
I'm so aggravated I got my two fingers good but can get that pinkie to do anything ahhhhh
My cello at some point in its life got a finger nail indention in the neck for first position lol
careful with the pencil, I just scratched into the fingerboard.
Classical string instruments seem to be a nightmare to learn! 😬
Nightmare might not be the right word, but any instrument takes years of practice
i like your lips bro.
Thanks 😅
i'm looking at your lips...
Sorry for the distraction. Will do better in the future!
Jonathan Humphries noo it's a good thing don't worry!!
Ah yes, because every person is born knowing how every single note sounds, and can automaticly recognize when, whatever an f is, is playing. Or is this video just a joke?
It is not a joke. If you know anything at all about playing an instrument, you will know exactly what he means. Plus he said to have a tuner available so you can tell when you are right on the note.
@@DavidOgborn I don't know anything about playing an instrument, that's why I am here. No clue what a tuner even is. I don't get you music people, you have some delusion that everyone has been playing since birth and knows everything about music.
