Elbow angle affecting double stops is something I've never heard from other teachers. Good info !

Thanks for watching 🙂

That should be my next level which is Double Stops, to make my fiddling more funky!

[@petehealy9819]

A rank beginner here (been playing one month), and like others, I find your tips here to be very helpful! That said, getting a clean sound when stopping with my pinky is still very difficult - in fact, seems impossible without lifting my other fingers, which I'm reluctant to do. Anyway, I don't see a way around it except through practice. Thanks again!

[@TheTuneProject]

Thanks, Pete! Good luck to you!

Wow, pulling the elbow forward really helps to buy more room for d/stops. Noticed that moving the elbow too far forward hurts.

[@TheTuneProject]

Yes, it's all about balance!

[@langhamp8912]

Getting the angle of the bow so it pulls on both strings evenly I find ludicrously difficult. And it's something I do practice a lot.

[@TheTuneProject]

It’s tough, but you’ll get there! Keep at it!

[@FiddleGeeks]

@langhamp8912 I like to come down to the strings from above, like forehead level. That way my bowarm elbow is sure to be at the same level as the strings.
