Love this. I am a paper-trained violinist and I appreciate that you show the scale notation. Thank you. I am excited to practice this.

[@P.L.A.SRIYANTHA]

Very interesting.i need to know normal chords to play in the voolin

[@GabrielBismut]

Thanks ! :)

[@philnewton3096]

Thank you -Ill get around to your advice -But whats is the advantage when we are primarily involved with listening to the chord and harmonic structure-? I not demeaning the bow`s importance because its the primary element in string playing -The voice or the Breath- However my teaching was on the basis of going from establishing the simple and when that is fluent move on tp the next complexity/

[@GabrielBismut]

You're welcome Phil. For more detailed questions, please write me an email: gabrielbismut.com/en/contact/

[@Meoww044]

23:22 so is it possible to improvise using a minor blue scale in any backing track? For example is it right to improvise ( using a minor scale) on backing track in E major or in C major ?

[@GabrielBismut]

Sure, you can transpose that in any key! Of course it works for a standard 12-bar blues, but not necessarily for more complex chord structures.

[@ppiol2921]

Do you teach personal lesson on zoom?

[@GabrielBismut]

Yes I do!

[@songsabai3794]

I don't do PayPal for ethical reasons ....is there an alternative to buying the PDF?

[@philnewton3096]

Sorry ,that ghost note? -I just get a harmonic! Very difficult-I dont understand- If I release the bow pressure = a skid? If I release finger pressure = harmonic??

[@GabrielBismut]

Try doing both : release finger and bow pressure. With a short bow stroke that will produce a ghost note, not a harmonic.

[@MahdiHagi-rd6sm]

Hello . What's your strings name?

[@philnewton3096]

2;36 onward -I dont follow ? why not just plain quaver bowing?

[@GabrielBismut]

Because it needs to swing : the swing bowing pattern is ment to imitate the ride cymbal on the drums.

[@yuningqi1731]

Where can I get the PDF

[@GabrielBismut]

Hello Yuning. The link is in the description just below the video.

[@exauviolonmunuma-dt4iv]
