"I struggle with many things, but not vibrato!" 😂 Best intro of 2024 for a lesson yet.

[@minetta_is_minnie1186]

If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems, But struggling with vibrato ain't one There I rephrased the sentence :D

[@colormepiano]

“you’re hitting your face with imaginary balls” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭

[@t.p.mckenna]

... and I thought this was a family show!!!

[@valienpire]

Bro knew what he was doing with that title 😭

[@calebrivera1710]

What does it mean

[@valienpire]

@@calebrivera1710 I guess the joke kinda got ruined when he changed the title. The original title was "how to be the perfect vibrator"

[@zevelgamer.]

The title is a bit weird not gonna lie...

[@nathann472]

IKR

[@sparksparkbubbles]

Crazy 💀💀

[@ya_ya_ya.]

The chaos that it embodies LMAO

[@fsuberca]

Now that some way to get ppl to practice

[@jameshutchings2683]

[@sevinamelody2046]

iNtErEsTiNg title you got there Ray-

[@CharlieLovesRobloxUwU]

I saw many people talking about his title I know me dum but why?😊

[@hi28]

​@@CharlieLovesRobloxUwU he prob changed it

[@CharlieLovesRobloxUwU]

Bro lol then do u remember the old one lol

[@conniemckenney]

Sometimes, when I'm doing chores, I log into Tonic, join an open studio, and just leave my phone playing while I do chores. It's like getting a free concert 🎉

[@marikothecheetah9342]

Didn't know you could do that. Cool!

[@TeaTupcake247]

I applaud this

[@colet7645]

brilliant

[@AdorablyAnastasia]

I hope you make more tutorial videos like this this year! You have a really unique way of explaining things that makes learning violin a bit less scary 😅 I’m gonna go practice now!

[@GlamrockPotato]

me sitting here doing the entire video with the wrong hand:

[@mikemeansbizness]

Ray you a lil freak with that title 😂

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Ray did a fly check before going on stage with Elim Chan at the LA Phil. She didn't have a fly. Ray's sense of humor is weird.

[@mikemeansbizness]

​@@jameschristiansson3137yeah it's very quirky but he's awesome! Made me want to practice violin again while in school

[@nomadiccleric5672]

The title? You mean the entire vid 😂

[@user-zd6se6ig2l]

완전 감사합니다~

[@rachelpenndragon1926]

Thanks for explaining this and making it fun as well!

[@stefanardelean6557]

Thank you very much for this Lessing!God bless you!

[@josephwilliams4779]

Amazing, you made learning vibrato so much easier.

[@dennismeehan11]

Very helpful Ray as always. I think the beauty of vibrato is that it also puts you in a very flexible position where you can land on the right spot of the string to get the best intonation of the note which then becomes enhanced by the additional vibrato added.

[@violinopraviver6490]

Greetings from Brazil! Good job man, I thank you for this awesome lesson. I hope for more!

[@Casting_spells]

I've never been this early.... Ray, you have all my love and support ❤....thank you so much

[@habakukduduk9293]

Thanks Ray! This tipps helped me a lot to develop my vibrato. Keep on going, it`s great what you are doing.

[@wrlxrelaxradio]

Very nice tutorial! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@matsiemaggy4023]

Thank you so much 🎉 I'm gonna go and practice.

[@007Thananat]

Thank you so much Master Ray Have a good day🌈🌈🙏

[@antoniopacheco873]

Thanks a lot for sharing your technique on vibrato.God bless you.

[@taochengliu44]

謝謝你的教導，抖音。好聰明的方法。❤❤❤

[@georgegeorge8401]

Excellent job. Very good teacher. Thanks for the tips

[@rosechen4433]

Very helpful for starters like my 8-year old daughter! Thank you so much for sharing!😊

[@savannachou4673]

Thanks! This is exactly what I need!

[@NatNatNat-tc8pp]

This video was really helpful! I violin teacher was trying to show me a technique for vibrato but I couldn't seem to get it. Thank you Ray Chen!

[@tiffcat1100]

What a charmer, love the talent, the humour, the fab smile, the enthusiasm, the relatability. I bet some people who follow on KZbin (etc) & who had no intention of taking up violin playing have done so! 😹 ❤🎉❤

[@Tostoyevski]

This seems like a really creative and useful way, keep up these tutorials, its an honour to learn from the best.

[@vivanlosmichis]

Aprendiii!!! Que emoción ,buenas técnicas 💗

[@nkviolinstudio]

From my experience, when students learn wrist vibrato in the third position, after returning to the first position, they often wobble their wrist. I started teaching arm vibrato first, and then, once they understand that vibrato is mainly done through the finger stretch (knuckles), I guide them through these wrist exercises... btw. great video!!

[@TheLukeas]

Thank you so much for sharing😊 I literally managed to learn vibrato in 2 days of a practice! Very helped the "string cleaning" exercise, all is about relaxing the fingers, giving a bit of tension to the strings and getting that "bouncing ball" motion.

[@rearaujo2995]

Amei as dicas, há anos estou na batalha por um vibrato perfeito 😂 Tkanks you ❤

[@parthamukherjee3014]

Beautiful technique for teaching. Marvelous 👌👌👌👌

[@CatchTheBuzz1]

Ray you are awesome! Thank you

[@IllonoD-nz7wk]

The slow vibrato where the notes go above and below are very useful if you want to play indian classical repertoire. That sort of sound is very intentional and common in that type of music.

[@WadeKing-dm2hw]

Best instructional video so far. I have neuropathy in my hands now. Getting my fingers to collapse while sliding back in forth is the hardest for me

[@claires3528]

Thank you so much Ray! Lol I don't know if this tutorial was already in the works, but if you made this video because I suggested a few more basics / intermediate tutorials after you posted the free sheet music in Tonic, thank you so much. ❤️❤️ And if not, thank you so much anyway 😂❤

[@shonen84]

Very happy to have tickets for your concerto Monday in Antwerp, Belgium! See you soon!! ❤❤❤

[@annecooksey9426]

Great video…super helpful! 🎉

[@sherllytanara244]

I have been waiting for this video ❤❤❤

[@carlywright6748]

Ray Chen!! Thank you! You are amazing!!

[@sambriddhibaidya933]

Thank you very much It was very helpful

[@sedai4410]

I was NOT expecting a tutorial video come up in my page,, when I just bought a violin .. what surprised me is that the tutorial is from UNCLE RAY HIMSELF !!!

[@heheheleni]

Thank you so much!

[@sofiarahman7441]

please keep uploading such tutorial videos💕💕

[@monika7063]

A very sus title but a great video! Glad I didn’t miss the premier

[@marcellacarta2766]

Great video! Thnks a lot!!

[@Skinny_Karlos]

Thank you, Ray for this upload.I've been playing violin for years but for some reason just never cottoned on to getting my vibrato happening. This, really quite simple set of steps, which I WILL do every day, seem to be achievable for me to get a vibrato in my arsenal. Thanks again, - Mark, Australia

[@masoumehbalaei2275]

Thank you ❤

[@arielkaya2783]

Since I just got my first violin at the ripe age of 34 (after dreaming of it for the past 23 years)... I can't wait to get past the first screeches and learn vibrato with you😂

[@cseperegazesolefolyikazarcomon]

Thank you, I've also written a request for this topic on the discord server. ❤✨

[@bereniceriveragatolandia]

Muy útil, muchas gracias ❤

[@annettenelson9669]

Thanks for taking time to help us Ray. I appreciate it very much. This video was very helpful. I had a teacher tell me to straighten my fingers out then cave them in. It did not help me at all as to me it feels more like rocking the fingers side to side, keeping them in the same position.

[@lauramunos4951]

Definitely will help me improve my vibrato! Thank you Ray for your time! ❤

[@christophebony4037]

Thanks you very much for the video

[@tabbymrp]

Thank you!

[@maramadrid5237]

More videos like this please!!!! ❤

[@cemultraslan7496]

you have become a master now Now it's time to teach us We are waiting for more educational videos. This is too short. Thank you.

[@chrisma3256]

That was fast ❤ thank you😊

[@Ferv0r_]

Always my dream to become the greatest vibrator in the world. Thank you Ray for showing me the way.

[@willy_wombat]

Great and informative.

[@jnee3873]

Wow, a new trailer: Tchaikovsky. It can also show what to do whenever handling string breaks. Also, massive recovery mid section.

[@PianoMaskGuy]

Watching your videos inspired me to take up the violin..... I am a week in..... I used to be a professional oboist and went to the Royal College of Music. I am loving being a violinist now. Thank you so much for inspiring me :-)

[@JacobHINDI]

Well explained vibrato 🙏

[@carletto.spitaleri]

can you make a tutorial about how to use correctly the bow? i asked many teachers but they didn't were sure because my hand is really big, and knowing you are like the best violinist and have big hands we think you would teach me the perfect technique... hope you see this :)

[@M_SC]

It takes years

[@ajsorensen2585]

One of the best explanations out there! These videos are great Ray!

[@mariaviolin]

You had me at, "String Cleaning Method". Subscribed!

[@demiluizpires5917]

Aí sim 👍 ,violino, é prática.

[@sarahy4032]

Hi, thanks for this good video! I would like to ask when you do vibrato, does the valley in between the index finger and thumb, touch the neck of the violin?

[@merlebehzadi2029]

Thanks

[@amritavilasinidevidasi1842]

Interesting method 🤭🤭🤭I like the warming up idea 😊

[@augustinechinnappanmuthria7042]

Super super super tips Augustine violinist from Malaysia

[@az-bp7ns]

I finally start to learn vibrato. I was waiting for it for a long time.. (not that long.. I started to learn to play the violin in Feb 2023). And the way my teacher got me practice scales actually was vibrato.. If intonation is good enough.. I can learn vibrato. So it's day 2 since she showed me this knocking motion (cleaning fingerboard method.. Will get a tissue in the future.. Like the idea). But honestly.. My arms hrt.. Poor muscles.. (my arms hurt when I braid my hair.. So I guess it will get better..) yeah looks easy.. Doesn't it.. 😂

[@P.EnglishLiterature]

Thank you. Just subbed to you. This is beautiful

[@dragonmaster4843]

great quality

[@bhargvaidya]

mind blowing!

[@jeremyguidrydramateacher]

Is it just me, or does Ray Chen seem like a really solid dude. In that "I'd have a beer with him" kinda way. Anyhoooo, thanks for all the help Ray!

[@MikaSato]

Ray thank you ❤ I think I am going to take my violin out from the case and clean the strings 😅

[@emilythielen6700]

OMG Ray I'm dead💀💀💀😂

[@emilythielen6700]

I'm so warped. I've been chuckling to myself about this all day🤣

[@cindyrissal3628]

Love the tutorial videos! I'd play w/ them...if I weren't having left hand problems. My wrist has gotten so stiff lately, I can't play. I'm getting older, too...help??

[@gabrielelapis1986]

i got that tonic today toooo :)

[@AmandaViolinGirl]

4 days to go and it will be exactly 5 years since I started violin. 15th January. I still can't do vibrato properly. I do have a teacher.

[@thegamerchampie8351]

It's fine I've been playing for 5 years and I still didn't learn vibrato, so I had to teach myself and I learned it decently in a couple weeks and that was last year, im really good now and it'd not as hard as ppl say, you just gotta keep doing it and you'll get it

[@thisdudoe7969]

I've been playing for 12😭 and I can sort of do it but I struggle a lot, sometimes you can't even hear it so don't worry about

[@MsCellobass]

😂😂Too funny 😂 SIDES HURT! I’m a cellist so even though it would be unrelated to us still this is a hilarious video! Kudos❤

[@vanessachromik3879]

Oh hell yes I'm so excited! I'm just about to learn vibrato in my lessons, so this video will give me a huge boost to improving faster 😄

[@owengraham7753]

Me too

[@jaegertiger384]

PRACTICE every day!!

[@lordvader6172]
