[@euphoniumlookslikeabrass9464]

Reem Amr it is very possible to learn the violin in a matter of days but definitely not hours. Still though, the violin isn’t hard if you actually practice , you don’t even need to go step by step, just if you try to push yourself it would definitely be possible.

[@ramboozaltm1741]

In a matter of days, how many days tho, a whole 20 years or what? Plus i do not believe in any way anyone can play an instrument like violin in a couple of days, as you don't only have to master sightreading but also technique and another one i can't remember. I mean someone could play violin in a couple of days but not master the whole thing, as there is a lot to violin that what meets the eye. Soooooo, u can play violin in a couple of days, but you'll just be a noob with huge sunglasses and a stick. 😐

[@ninjaboy1098]

He does this because he plays guitar, where you bend the string up and down quickly to create vibrato. Sorry not the greatest guitar-vibrato-explainer.

[@AdamWebdesign]

Mike Boyd makes me rethink learning entirely, I love seeing him take on challenges, show his progress and show his results all while telling us how many hours of honest practice it has taken. Last year in a strange twist of fate I found myself able to practice on a violin and it took me 10 minutes to decide to put it down and do something useful. If it takes only this long for him to learn to play then, granted he may have a lot more musical grounding than I do already, why shouldn't I? I would be proud if I could achieve this with 50 hours of practice, never mind 13 hours, I've spent more than than in the last 30 days just cleaning.

SBB1809 Who ever said the greatest musicians didn’t have teachers? Where would they get their inspiration from? Maybe they didn’t have a teacher who gave instructions and taught them notes, beats and songs, but maybe an idol? That’s technically a teacher. And even If they did have teachers who give instructions and teach them music, who decided that everyone who has those teachers are needy and bad musicians? Yes they shouldn’t rely on their teacher’s instructions, but that doesn’t make them untalented.

[@RockyWearsAHat]

It sounds nice, but you are focusing a lot on more advanced techniques before getting basics, for example, having your wrist against the neck will stop the violin from projecting sound as well, same with having it over your peck instead of shoulder. If you keep pursuing this, fix your posture, it will help immensely with your sound projection. Get all basics down, and don’t rely on the fingering chart, before trying vibrato or shifting. Great video though, you did what most kids in my orchestra can’t do (actually sound good, vibrato, shifting) in 39 days, so hats off to you!

With no teacher, you did quite well. But if I'm being constructive then I would say: Keep your left wrist down, change your bow grip just a little, keep the instrument up, down't let it fall, also try not to let your thumb onto the fingerboard/strings, keep it to the side/under the neck, learn to read sheet music, straighten your bow strokes, try to have more articulation with your bow, and above all else. Play with confidence, if you're gonna make a mistake, make a huge one so that you know what to fix. And just keep practicing, that's what will set you apart at the end of the day.

[@blakejordan4698]

Also loosen the bow a bit.

[@timothyprescott7621]

We're not implying that he is going to become professional. However, if one is going to do something, then said one must seek advice from another who is professional in order to do said something with exceeding skill. I other words, if you're going to do something, you need to make sure that you're doing to the best of your ability (not denying that he was) and you need to do as right as possible.

Also taking into consideration that u've had no teacher and only been practicing for a month that just makes it epic. I have some advices though ; buy a shoulder rest as playing with it is far more comfortable, loosen the tension of ur bow it just makes it bounce more often on the strings, and finally the right hand should b on a straight line with ur below-the-elbow arm (couldn't find a name for it XD). Other than that, u should keep up the good work, playing the violin is one of the skills that I could never regret acquiring.

I know I’m just a tad bit late, (a few years) but I have some tips that might help you. 1. Near the end of the video, I couldn’t tell, but to help you hold the violin, get a shoulder rest. Makes it way more comfortable and easy to use. Everest and Kun is recommended. 2. Use your wrist. I noticed in the beginning how your bow was sliding throughout the strings, but it wasn’t as much as a problem at the end. That being said though, you should still use your wrist more and not your arm as it can really help when you have to do dynamics. 3. Lift up your violin. It would help when you eventually have to shift your fingers down the fret board and your posture in general. Try keeping the violin Parallel to the floor. Also put your thumb on the side of the neck, not on the strings, and keep your left hand straight and have it near or against the scroll, if you’re not shifting. 4. That bow is wayyyyy too tightened. If you play too hard, who knows what’ll happen. 5. You got a little mountain on your fingerboard, please use a microfiber cleaner, makes your violin look nice.

[@XxGamerCouncilxX]

very impressive for the amount of time put into practicing. Your vibrato will be far more free if you straighten your left wrist. A really easy way to practice vibrato: put a rubber band on the scroll of the violin so that you can play with the scroll against the wall (the rubber band protects the instrument and provides grip) Just practice vibrato very slowly with each finger. Create rhythms with the vibrato and practice with those. If all goes well, you should have a very free, rich vibrato

[@samik8933]

He should also straighten it so his notes are more 'clear' if I could say so.

Try opening creativity, not going by the book. He wasn't restrianed by sheet music, he did what he felt was right. Just go on your own flow, sometimes it can better us as artists, athletes, or even people.

[@ashtonlasater7882]

Make sure you have rosin on your bow so it doesn't slide. Start with plucking exercises, then focus on your bow, if you are going to keep doing this the you might want to get an essential elements book it teaches you everything

[@krosmatthews8097]

He was using rosin powder was on the fingerboard

(And when you get further into Essential elements, starting Suzuki is also recommended

[@flylikeabutterfly951]

Musical genius! Some people spend years learning to paint and a natural artist literally never took a class and creates breathtaking pieces. Sometimes it’s not fair, but still nothing can substitute hard work and dedication!

[@hyperhavoc5]

That part where you were talking about the bow bouncing on the string is really mostly because your bow is much too tight. The stick shouldn't be so tight that its straight, but it should have a downwards bend toward the hair. Also a shoulder rest would've made holding the violin much easier.

[@Will-tt5md]

Nikit Desai it also has to do with his arm movements because your bow can be tight and it can still sound good but yes I agree it’s to tight

[@esmeraldapooner751]

I ratter fiddle with it too. Just started again after not playing in over 40 years. I was following along twinkle twinkle, but I accidentally sounded like I was playing Marry had a little lamb. You could be a musical genius.

[@LapeVideos]

What you achieved is damn impressive in 13 hours of work. Well done. However sticking with your theme, I think the final result shouldn't have been loops, but instead one full song played, even if through multiple layers.

[@nikolatotev]

39 days*

[@carriekopczinski]

I agree. A loop does't show the real thing. Of course it show tempo control, but with this really short loops is possible to try many times, pick the best short cut and insert in the music. Its more video editing then real violin. A full song without cuts show how it is going and i don't expect 5 minutes or complex songs. By the way, violin is a really hard instrument, i'm playing for some years and it's tricky. I liked the overall result.

So my grandma walked by as I was watching this. After I explained what it was, she convinced me to try the ukulele and play some songs. After 2 and a half hours and 3 sore fingers, I was able to play Space Oddity, All Star, and the Steven Universe Theme and sing along! It's really fun, but it looks like a blister is forming on my right thumb. :/ Oh well.

Mike: It is easier to learn music by pitch, instead of actually reading the music. Me: 🤦

[@thatlazymaki9863]

*Mike’s not wrong, learning music takes a lot of time. If you’re trying to learn how to play violin as fast as you can. Going off pitch would be the way to go, since learning the notes would take such a long time. So in his case, yes. Learning by pitch is the easiest way.*

wiebe V aken still, he can’t read sheet music making any ability on the violin limited. The only reason this works is because of the immense repetition of pop music.

[@ldalri2780]

@@wva6809 he might have perfect pitch which isn't impossible since like 25% of people have it which would make him be able to know that he is playing the right notes in which case the method of hearing music and sort of recomposing it is effective but if he doesnt have perfect pitch then he doesnt know if hes playing the right notes (he even said he doesnt know violin notes)

Learning to crack a whip would be pretty cool. You could hit targets, grab things, make crack patterns. Your goal could be putting together a routine with eight different cracks, or something. I'm from Canada and it's winter here, so I can't really use mine right now. I'd ship you to borrow if you wanted! I've got some footage on my channel if you want, or you could just search whip cracking on KZbin. I think the bumps and bruises would make for a great video, haha

[@MikeBoyd]

such an original idea! Are they expensive to buy?

[@Broskidile]

Really nice ones are (like ones made out of kangaroo leather), but you can get them in nylon for relatively cheap. I'm not sure how many whip makers there are around your area, but in Canada and the US the lowest you could pay for a decent whip made out of nylon is at the lowest $100 USD. They vary in price depending on type, length, and how many strands are used to make them (because more strands make the whip more flexible). A good starter whip for the basics would be something like a five foot nylon bullwhip. Alternatively, you could spend about $60USD and make one out of nylon paracord and electrical tape
