Thank you for the very helpful exercises. I found it quite difficult in the second tapping exercise to turn the forearm from the elbow. It seems to be coming from the wrist. I must be doing something wrong…

Very help tutorial, so the sound quality will be different if thumb squeeze the neck?

[@cellotutorials3347]

The pain might appear and speed of the fingers will be reduced. Fingers must run when playing fast and it’s hard to achieve if something is holding them. Therefore first - standing and falling freely on the fingerboard (almost like slapping) then they’re ready for run. 🏃

what is to be acheived by putting the thumb under the second finger?

[@cellotutorials3347]

Actually different people , different position. You can check it by - quickly clench and unclench your fists few times and watch where the thumb stays (above middle finger, in between of index and middle, or above index - that’s natural position of your thumb. And keep same position under fingerboard , depending where it stoped - 1, 1and2 or 2nd 👌

[@TilliKommunikation]

How about the open strings when starting with the fourth position?

[@cellotutorials3347]

That works perfect as well. I remember G.Sollima was talking about him starting in 4th position when he started cello. As distances are more narrow and you can see your left hand perfectly 👍the only things with that - if strings are too hight (hard to press) if might cause tension and pain in left hand by pressing and squeezing with thumb. Strings are still lower in 1st position. Anyway there always some pro and cons. Try to find best way for yourself 🙏🏻✨

[@TilliKommunikation]

@@cellotutorials3347 Thank you, understood. But what about the pitch? There is a big difference between the pitch of the open string and that of the 4th position.

[@cellotutorials3347]

@ yes that’s right and good thing about the proper music schools establishments they have a Solfeggio lessons which helps a lot to develop pitch also all string players are learning piano as a second instrument. So I would say it’s more holistic approach covering not only playing cello. Most students in Uk and Us systems where they follow ABRSM syllabus not quite effective, as aural training they suggest is quite limited 😞 if you can cooperate with someone who could teach Solfeggio that would be the best solution ✨

[@TilliKommunikation]

@@cellotutorials3347 Is there such a thing as a capo for cellos?

[@cellotutorials3347]

@ mmm. Not Sure to be honest 🤔
