How to Play The Last of the Mohicans Theme (The Gael) - Violin Tutorial

[@andrewjames7493]

One of the best songs ever on the violin. I never get tired of it. I am currently learning it. A huge hit from my youth.

[@Violinspiration]

That's so beautiful, enjoy learning ☺

[@racl1954]

Best violin lesson that I have come across on this beautiful piece of music. Very well and patiently explained.

[@iancujianu76]

this is by far one of the best video i have ever seen on KZbin. I'm not playing any instrument , i have a son 10 year's hi is beginner on violin . we love the way you teach!! this video is completely , fantastic! we hope that you will make more like this. for example : the sound of silence!?😊

[@talomago]

Beautiful, exciting, I loved it. Thank you, teacher.

[@coomberaider]

This is the best video Ive seen on learning ‘the Gael’ . I cant read music but I saw that you’d put the g1 d20 on the score and now Im slowly getting there. I cant thankyou enough because I love this song and its a challenge I had to put aside a couple of years ago as I wasn’t getting anywhere. Really pleased and thankyou again.

[@Violinspiration]

I'm glad to hear that you're making progress. Keep going, you've got this! 💖

This is an amazing breakdown. You got me wanting to learn how to play the violin!

[@Violinspiration]

I'm happy you're inspired 💖

[@augustinechinnappanmuthria7042]

Super super super lovely playing fantastic ❤❤❤

[@tarzanriding]

Gave me such goosebumps, listening to you, wow. Violin is truly something else when you hear one in person, when you pick one up to play you gain an even greater appreciation for it.

[@Violinspiration]

I'm glad you felt that way, enjoy 🥰

[@MrMudEagle]

Thanks Julia. After learning for a few years as a teen I have got back into violin. Im self teaching, 9 months in and have been a bit lost but i recalled your channel and the in depth lesson is exact;ly what I needed. Especially on things like following corrrect bowing. Cant wait to work through more of your lessons. If you ever come to NZ I hope we can meet :)

[@Violinspiration]

I'm glad you found your way back and making progress with the lessons, please keep up your amazing work! NZ is such a beautiful country 😊

I could not find any teacher for me but I dont need anyone from now. Your video is so great that I can learn by myself. Thank you very much.

[@Violinspiration]

That is great. Have fun learning the piece!

[@leif1075]

The blood is strong,the heart is Highland that is a Scottish Gael.Dougie Maclean is the Scottish composer of the Gael.

[@Violinspiration]

That's wonderful, thank you for sharing with us 😊

[@EM-gr1ps]

I can figure it out eventually and play along, but I'm confused about the numbers above the measure. Are those strings assignments? Some of the numbers a higher than the others. Sorry, I am missing something. The for your help, great lesson.

[@Violinspiration]

That's great! The number above is the finger you use to play on the string, I think this article will be helpful for you: violinspiration.com/violin-notes-for-beginners/#reading-the-fingering-above-the-notes

[@barbarafritz1417]

Hi Julia, this is such a great song and fantastic tutorial. What I am not sure about is the system behind the long rolls ans the pat. Do you add the adjacent notes of the scale of the song - in this case C major -or do you only go down respectively up half a step, for example from C to Cis instead of C to D, D being part of C major? Thank you for explaining again for dummies. 😊

[@barbarafritz1417]

Thank you very much for your help and explanation, osezleviolon. But if this is D minor, why isn‘t there a b at the beginning of each line?

[@knoseldosel6674]

Now I understand, thanks a lot. As a German, I wish my English was as fluent as yours by the way;)

[@deadmanswife3625]

My mother said I WAS The Last of the Mohicans LOL

[@Violinspiration]

😂

[@crownstupid]

I play the guitar, not the fiddle, and I can't read sheet music but your instruction was clear enough for me to work out the key, chords and arpeggios with ease. Bravo! All of the guitarist instruction on this song I've seen is terrible or not what I'm looking for.

[@Violinspiration]

That’s awesome to hear! 🎸🎻 I’m glad the instruction worked for you even without reading sheet music. Bravo to you too 👏. Keep rocking! 😊

[@leif1075]

What if i don't enjoy this enough at this the point i want to spend that mucj time on it?? Hope yiu can respond when you can.

[@Violinspiration]

Take your time and enjoy playing this beautiful piece 🙂

[@JB-xd1fo]

For some reason when I try my strings seem very off from sound is there a reason for that?

[@Violinspiration]

You might need to tune your stings to the correct pitch. This article can help you with that. Good luck! violinspiration.com/how-to-tune-a-violin-as-a-beginner/

[@coomberaider]

I think it is low 2 on the d string. Maybe not all of the d2s. Perhaps you could try that. Watch the fingering in the first slow section of the video.

[@leif1075]

​@Violinspiration did you address exactly what notes you play on the 2 different ornamentions..I didn't see it

[@John_Bradbury]

Fantastic, the only problem is I now have one more piece to work on😂

[@Violinspiration]

Is that really so bad, John? Somehow I think you are going to love working on it and adding it to your practice time.

[@John_Bradbury]

@Violinspiration No it's not bad at all really. I just love this tune so thank you for arranging it. I like most genres of violin music but I think fiddling is my favourite.

[@mrdadelus]

Thanks. I’m trying to impress my wife. It’s either this or I start running through the woods in buckskins. My violin game is a 3 but my “running in buckskins” game is a very forgiving 2.

[@Violinspiration]

Haha 😅. Please stick with the violin, you’re already impressing her! Keep it up! 🎻✨

[@mrdadelus]

@@Violinspiration (glad I got you to laugh, these tutorials are very helpful. I’ll have to find the one where you talk about the “bow turn?” My teacher is calling them grace notes or I’m confusing the two. So much to learn!!!

[@shekharraj6021]

Thank you so much for this. ❤
