The difference is 1 has steel strings i thought

Do these principles still apply if you play the viola?

Glad to hear that!👍

A bluegrass player may play it the same way in competition but we all take bluegrass breaks when we jam and its improvised.

I don't play a violin and don't have any interest to so I do not know why I am watching this.

genuinly really bloody helpful - from a beginner who couldnt stop the open E string from sqeualing. wasnt going fast or straight enough, thanks for the quick fixes!

I had a cochlear implant to make me hear again.The first setting was sensitive to certain sounds like a kitchen blender and the sound level would drop dramatically for 10 seconds or until the blender stopped ---then count to ten .Many noises would "switch off the implant. xxxxxxOne was a violin being played.xxxxx Some part of the violin sound will switch off the sound.At the same time a classical guitar can be heard easily and a normal piano with strings can be heard.So the xxxxxx Bow Rustle xxxx must be what turns off the sound. A sound of pine wood being sawn with a fine saw will turn off the implant even though the sound is very quiet.It does not depend on volume. A nice piece of science for us all to appreciate . My second cochlear adjustment reduces that sensitivity enough for my ears to listen to a Live Violin. A Recorded Violin sound or a laptop sound is not a problem .Not perfect but lately ,after 6 months use my ears are learning the sounds afresh and this week I can detect the "woody tone" in Leonid Kogan`s violin sound . Most of my audiologists have not realised these strange facts which can be very obscure if you have no familiarity with violins. One useful fact is that the lower 2 strings are still loud enough to avoid the blanking out action of the implant. The A string and E string were impossible to play after about one second---then wait ten seconds for the hearing to work again. Now on the 2nd adjustment they are still difficult .Time will gradually improve that ,hopefully..xxxxxx But xxxx Yesterday I read about Octave Violin Strings which play all the violin notes one octave lower. That is part of my new escape plan. All the time after the fitting I had no trouble with pitch or tuning .This is a major obstacle for many players after cochlear implants . I was just lucky . Please educate the public about these strange facts . Players who go deaf can still enjoy music without learning a different instrument. My hearing dropped dramatically over a few months so I had no problem remembering sounds . Bach Cello Suites were always part of my practice routines.

3:53 Im a grown ass man and that made me giggle. Ty for the lesson really helpful

Great playing 👍

I'm trying to use this with a tailpiece that uses fine tuners, and it will not fit under the tailpiece as far in as you show, due to the fine tuner mechanism under the tailpiece.

Thanks 😊❤

Awsome. I want to build a acoustic. Mostly to recall and a challenge. I want to get back to neutrons rerouting... Ty and finally. Your word you said when here have stuck and again ty. Could you send if I send money a kit. Live you and really proud of you.

Killing it man great post killer tones from your pickup

Thanks, Ben!

So so great to hear your latest EV. Funny, amazing & great to find Leo Fender having such a profound impact on today’s electric violin 7 decades since his violin was almost rejected outright :) Looks like violinists have woken up. Bravo and all wishes for success!

I want to know how to play between the car is fo shure 🔊🎻

Wow that's what I wanted to ask. Thanks for sharing. I scratch alot. And you just showed me how. ❤

Wow! Congratulations on your beautiful blueish Outlaw Fiddle 🎻and the patent on it! 🏆Yeah, I've missed you a bit, so great that you're back to show us some new stuff, isn't it?

Sam Muir taught me that chords are arpeggios. So what if all the notes aren’t played at the same time?

I cannot take advice from anyone who doesn't know chiropractic is made up nonsense.

You are just AMAZING!!!!!!!!! OMG, truly incredible!!!!

Can’t wait to do next Sat March 23 at The Winery!

Thanks!

Fun stuff!

What do you think? I am thrilled with the sound of the fourth position of the Pickup selector! I am working towards including this option in all future models!

Great job!

Genius!!!!❤❤❤

how am i just seeing this guy🤯

Cave men would have done it from the start. We get all messed-up in the belief in the object, rather than belief in ourselves to transcend the immediate limitations sensibly. Years of suffering do not succeed. The little screw was not the key to success, it was the "discovered" flexibility of the mind in these 20th and 21st centuries, for people who made the bold jump. I like the story by the guy who was trapped upside-down by his seat-belt in a burning car, both shoulders broken, and he resorted to pushing the belt into the fire so it burned through. He did not totally withdraw from the fire, he readily harnessed it to solve his immediate need. Right there in front of his own eyes. Did it.

Viola’s need this sort of thing even more! You might be able to see in the f holes to the corner if you point a light at the right angle. Good luck!

If I had a cheap viola I’d consider doing this assuming it had corner blocks.

really interesting fiddle with some equivalent to pick-up switching..something I've always wanted for a violin. The spacing on the 5 string is definitely to my liking - cramming 5 into the space of 4 is not so workable, so good move in my view. congratulations!

Lol I thought the first one was the song usually played during graduations😂

That was awesome , thanks for sharing !

What fiddle are you playing ?

that was a great explanation of the concept

Fucking AWESOME!

Also, for chopping, your fiddle jam institute will teach me how to chop like this video?

would you, please write out the cords, and or notes? Ive watched the video like 25 times, and still struggling. while i know and appreciate your work, and help, just i need more lite shed. so when you have a minute, mind writing out the notes, please?

😂

Fucking awesome
