***** Hey man, ive gotta say ive gotten really used to listening to you talk its like I could probably know your voice in public haha. But anyway, you should totally make videos EXPLAINING, little tips and all the other little things that go into transitioning notes and fingers and the bowing and what not within the song. Just something to consider

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Adam Sciterra That's what I'm actually doing on my other tutorials. Every time I make a new tutorial, I'm now figuring out okay, which part am I supposed to explain, which info is necessary and unnecessary. When it comes to the fingerings, you'll notice me saying low 1, low 2, high 2, blah blah blah. Those are actual fingerings that I suggest, trying to make it easier for you and others. I'm assuming you play the violin, therefore you know that you need fingerings. But just in case: 1 is your pointer finger, 2 is your middle finger, 3 is your ring finger, and 4 is your pinky. I say low 4 because that's the fingering you need for example, an E-flat or B-flat. Most of the time, I'm always on first position. Whenever there's a higher note, I always suggest which fingering should stay the same or change if you're going to shift to a higher position. And about little tips, I talk about which technique works best on my other tutorials like bowing movement by the wrist, lifting your fingerings as little as possible for fast running notes, etc. So I hope this shows how much I considered your comment, and thanks for watching my videos!

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Lutin des bois Oh wow! You do as well? That's amazing! And, I saw a glimpse at your channel. You had a video with over 4 million views!? And you have over 19K subs! Thanks for watching my videos! I really do appreciate this a whole lot!

[@Andrew-wx3wd]

Nice meeting you at the fair man. Keep up the good work 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ferreiradelima96]

That was awesome! Great tutorial.

[@Goddesssaradia]

Thank you I'm learning how to play this song my auntie is a fan of Lindsey Stirling and she wants me to play this song (take flight) I'm glad someone plays really good :)

[@mike1tapp]

Awesome! Could you make one for "The Arena"?

[@mik-moon]

You are awesome. As a beginner I really appreciate these videos!

[@chetterx]

i agree completely, also as a beginner (who's learning to play violin solely from youtube) i learnt everything in this video within 3 days of practise and i'm super excited to master it. i bow to you (no pun intended)

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy that this and my other videos really help out you and others playing the violin.

[@Jeffandtheyatai]

Thanks a lot for this tuto. I'm not english, so it's a bit hard to understand what u said, but i understand u're violin :D Continue guy, u're really good :)

[@Tyler_Kwak]

+Jiji Fifi Thanks so much. I'm really glad that the violin sound itself can really help you!

[@estevan766]

you are an amazing player. just keep it going you are really good.

[@jorik.104]

Subbed. I watch this everyday though I don't play violin well. I am a 3 weeks violinist but I can't play any song. Sadly, I really want to learn and play this song.

[@stinelmfao]

Great tutorial! Helped me a lot :)

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Oh wow! Over 200 views on this one, and this was the most awkward tutorial I've done!!! XD Thanks guys!

[@Tyler_Kwak]

***** Oh wow! Thanks!

[@roxy9064]

hello um which violin do you use.Btw nice tutorial

[@MultiJackHo]

Omg you are so good on violin,hope you can be my violin teacher XD. I was a beginner 1year with just learning to play by watching KZbin . Really hope 1 day I can play like you do, any tips for me? Which grades are you now? :D

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Jack Ho Thanks for the compliments! I graduated out of high school last year, and tips, I suggest (well obviously) practice, but there's one thing to keep in mind when you play is to BREATHE. When breathing, especially during many parts, you're more stabilized and you have better control. I'll have to see a video of you playing before I make assumptions. XD

[@MultiJackHo]

***** Alright thx for your advice, i will upload a video later on then i inform you. Can i add you on fb? :D

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Jack Ho Yes you can!

[@MultiJackHo]

***** mail your fb name to my email

[@wilangelamikaelameenamarie7357]

wow! that was awesome! do you have a transcription of this song?

[@rafaelocardoso]

Congratulations!!! Thanks!

[@Thisgirlthinks]

WOW. I've only been playing violin for 17 days (And so far can only play greensleeves) and i'm going to aspire to be able to play this eventually through your tutorial :D

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Holy crap! I didn't check how many views there were in this video, and I already see over 500!!!??? That's amazing! Thank you guys so much!

[@queen-ln3dn]

:OOOOOO AMAZING PLAY

[@Tyler_Kwak]

@Valeria Miguel: Um, not sure which part you're talking about. If you're talking about the very first note of the whole song, it is for sure, a G on the D string (3rd finger) Definitely not an Open A, that note would be completely off compared to what the actual note is. I'm not sure what you're talking about the "first part". Is it the first note of the whole build-up? If it is, that is also a G on the D string. If you're saying B as in B-flat, just know that B-flat and A# are EXACTLY the same thing. When you said there is hardly an open A, there is actually A LOT of open A(s) used! Also, I hardly use the term A# because B-flat is more commonly used, and it's a lot easier to understand. So, I hope this clears up everything.

[@nothanks1239]

I wish I could play as good as you. I swear I'd weep every time I played.

[@soter997]

Thanks for the tutorial!! please make one for Electric Daisy Violin :)

[@Tyler_Kwak]

I'll try! I just need to know exactly where. There were a few others who would like a tutorial on the drop part of Beyond the Veil, and another person said Mirror Haus, though I don't know exactly where. If you can give me the part of Electric Daisy Violin, then I'll upload a tutorial for that someday! :D

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Sofia Terlesky I uploaded a violin tutorial of Electric Daisy Violin around a week ago!

[@maxwellpetrovan5149]

This is great, how long did it take for you to learn this?

[@Tyler_Kwak]

+Maxwell Petrovan Not long really, maybe less than 2 weeks (to memorize it) Because I played a lot of her originals before Take Flight, some of the style is the same and it's really easy to learn and play it.

[@mariaesterbatista5507]

You are very good!!!! Niceee!!!

[@DragonHeartAJ]

This was so helpful thank you so much!

[@rachelsolano7404]

amazing

[@avacranswick4723]

Omg he's awesome!!!

[@Tyler_Kwak]

+Ava Grace Thanks!

[@NewZeroGames]

Make more please! :D

[@lejardindeydis1327]

Jesus your tutorial is awesome ! But is it possible to have the sheet music please ? Because that's so hard for me to understand wich notes you are talking about because english is not my mother tongue. But you're doing a great job !

[@Tyler_Kwak]

+Purple Wedding Thanks, and I would if I could. I don't have a PDF version of this to email it to you. If I do have it, I can definitely email it to you.

[@dakotahlavender]

It is available on Lindsey's website

[@Kazztam94]

Omg yes it helped me so much but can you please do transcendence please

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Oh boy! That song...that song is the HARDEST Lindsey Stirling song in my opinion! I always mess up on the chorus part because it's nothing but 16th notes and intervals. BUT! I do know the notes and proper fingerings! Maybe I can't play it perfectly, but maybe you can! I'll get it up someday!

[@Tyler_Kwak]

***** already did that! :D

[@saturnorbit6810]

Only my 100th time watching this lol

[@roxy9064]

same

[@juliocesarvalenzuelatnori3103]

Wow

[@LittlePalito13]

I got lost xc but I'm trying to play it so bad cx

[@Tyler_Kwak]

jonathan sandoval I know right? I got lost myself as well!

[@fanwangfujian]

it sounds better it looks

[@esmolpotat3]

**Fixes** When coming down on that first part, it's not B, it is A#. In Take Flight, there is hardly ever an open A. It's usually A#. The intro has an open A....

[@libbyt8261]

Noemi Miguel ok but can you do any better

[@thatsEforEveryone]

@@libbyt8261 jeez chill it's just critique to help a mistake. That's how music works, are you new? Have you ever done a chair test

[@annaruss7763]

do you speak Spanish??? help!!

[@Tyler_Kwak]

+Nirefara Ocampo Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish. Sorry.

[@joaquinmartinez5333]

op

[@1fishergirl]

Hello, I'm a local in Kent..I saw you at the space needle once me and my family talked to you for a minute. I absolutely love your performance. I would like to ask if I can hire you for a celebration event in January. Please PM me Shelly Borrero Thank you - I can't seem to find your inbox.

[@icefreak2272]

I don't think you're holding your bow right

[@PomegranateAmazing79]

the bow adjusts in your hand over time. there is no correct way to hold the bow. only the standard way. btw i play violin too.

[@icefreak2272]

Siddharth Y uh.. Im pretty sure there is and Ive been learning for 5 years. Your pinky should be bent and so should your thumb unless its spicatto or legato bowing.

[@aftonshumate2675]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! They're awesome! I was wondering if you could do one on Shadows and Roundtable Rival. I was also wondering (sorry, I kinda suck at scales) what are the flats and sharps in G minor and C minor? (I'm pretty sure those are the key signatures in Shadows.) Thank you :D

[@Tyler_Kwak]

Afton Shumate Well, first of all, Shadows is in a key of C minor and G minor. The chorus part is the C- minor part. C minor has 3 flats, and they are, in order, B-flat, E-flat, and A-flat. It's almost the same thing as E-flat major. The scale just starts at C, and most of the notes are the C's. G minor has 2 flats. Just take away the A-flat, and now you have G minor aka B-flat major. Some of Lindsey's songs that are in G minor are: Zi-Zi's Journey, Anti Gravity, Stars Align, Take Flight, and (in her shatter me deluxe album) Eclipse.

[@aftonshumate2675]

Thank you so much :)
