What I thought! But since I'm no professional, I didn't dare give it a score or anything. But it helped me the most, for sure.

The webbing motion! Such a good illustration 😮

I agree, arm vibrato is the way to go! I was practicing this evening, getting discouraged with my vibrato, then suddenly I felt the muscles in my elbow doing something and I heard a change! Then watching your video confirmed that the motion should come from the same place I felt. The exercises should help now, knowing which muscles control the action. Thanks! Also I love watching Hilary Hahn play as inspiration; she seems to have a light touch on the fingerboard with a relaxed neutral hand position I’ve tried to mimic.

Glad to hear this was helpful! And yes, imitation is probably the best way of learning ANYTHING. Best of luck to you!

You explanation is great, it makes me to really understand what been done in vibrato. You are doing a great job. Thank you.

This video was really helpful! Thank you for uploading this!👍👍👍

Well Filip, I am so happy that Zsolt Bognar offered me the opportunity to get to your tutorials. I’m just a violin self-taught beginner (and not a very young one) and I was on a verge of abandoning the violin, although it’s entirely the love of my life lately, because of the classical way of teaching how to grip the bow, how to do left or right hand or vibrato and last but not least, that nightmare called ‘shoulder rest’ which didn’t encouraged me to rest at all, but conversely, it get a totally scratchy sound out of the violin, which bring me to despair. I am so pleasantly surprised by your out of the box rethinking of the entire basic violin techniques in order to make us, mere mortals, able to reach a certain acceptable level in violin playing. I would thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that valuable tips and I really hope that more and more helpful videos will come up, soon. Be well and happy, my friend!

The intro video makes me forget what your video is about. I wait for you to finish playing the Paganini, lol

I enjoy how you slowly explain it.

Thank you so much! You're so great. A perfect balance between being formal and being understanding about the realities of a learning violinist. I've been struggling with vibrato for years. But this quick video alone was enough to inspire me and switch around how I'll be approaching practicing this in the future

I am going to try this!!! Thank you!

Obrigado, professor! Ótima abordagem!

Thank you for sharing this!!!!

Thank! I'm relatively new to violin and believe this video will greatly help.

It is great to see that the reason why you sound so fantastic is because you think about and things differently. These are the real violin secrets that will actually make you sound like a professional violin player! The proof is in the playing at 8:45 coupled with a great sense of humor at 1:45 - haha! I bet one of the DVD's you were nerding out at was "The Art of Violin". I know I was...

That flat finger wrist exercise is a great tip. Thanks!

Like you said, this is the most popular way of doing vibrato. However, arm vibrato is always wobbly sounding and horrible for your finger joints! It just oscillates between two "notes" whereas when the fingers are actually moving on the string, you can actually have a better control and oscillate between more "notes" rather than just two with the arm vibrato.

I Just Gonna Tell You Your Thumbnail Is So Good

Enjoying your videos - valuable and fresh information that are short and fun to watch. Looking forward to your next videos- tone production, and finger agility(I am suck at fast runs). Thanks!

From what I think arm vibrato has a warm tone and is good for pieces like Meditation de Thais- Massenet But wrist vibrato has a more brighter tone and is good for pieces such as Brahm's concerto in D major

Hello, great video, thank you. Could you please record a few more types of exercises or point us somewhere they can be found? Just learning along myself, so it would be a huge help. Love the series.

@Filip Pogady, please can you show us how to do vibrato on the G string, since it's the most difficult string to play on. Great video by the way. You method has helped me a lot.

8:45-9:09 What a delicious tone 🤤 Your playing is very "old school." I love it! You mentioned that we should find inspiration by listening to other violinists. Who are your inspirations? I personally admire Glenn Dicterow (former concertmaster of the New York Phil), as well as your former teacher, Pinchas Zukerman.

I enjoyed your explanation of vibrato. You said you don’t like wrist vibrato but the flat finger to curled finger with only the wrist moving seems to be wrist vibrato. Correct? I am going to try your exercises for a week and see how I improve my vibrato. Thank you for the video.

You are very lucky / fortunate to have long fingers. Most of us do not have long fingers.

Please what exercise can be done to make the fingers more flexible ??🥺

I wish I had fingers that long! Some of my technical issues would not be quite so bad.

The "Violin Playing Explained" playlist needs all these videos added to it. This way the videos will be easy to find in the future when they're burried under newer stuff.

So, upside-down and backwards, we're playing TRILLS both as a flat, then as a bit sharp, then, letting it balance itself out ! Most violinists I've enjoyed hearing have a "natural" vibrato, and never needed instruction; BUT THIS IS QUITE INTERESTING !

I am a beginner at playing the violin, and I am confused about how should I keep the violin from shaking when doing the vibrato. Can you please enlighten me? Also, should your thumb push the violin "up" to support it or do you have to use the weight of your head, chin and neck to stabilize it?

On the viola, I think wrist/hand vibrato works better. The larger size makes arm vibrato difficult plus I think exhausting. I tried arm vibrato years ago, just to add some variety. But, it just felt tense. Maybe it's just me.

i like this violin is it for sale ?

lol i do tht vibrato naturally i havent mastered it tho so sometimes my finger slips and i end up like if im playing e i will slip a little into e sharp bc I slipped any tips for tht?

@8:44 what song did he play?

Hell yeah, roll those t-shirt sleeves past those biceps, baby 😂 make it pop…

Hi Filip, how can I achieve consistency in vibrato width and speed and evenness? Should I just practice slowly and more often until it happens or is there any tips?

@filippogady

That’s pretty much it. I’d just keep working slowly and gradually increase the speed. Eventually it will click (hopefully). It doesn’t happen over night. Good luck 🤞🏼

So after watching like 20 videos and my teacher explaining me 3 or 4 times during the past months I'm stuck at the 'bending that knuckle' part, despite the fact I don't know have any known physical issues. I'm fairly sure it's a neurological thing. For the life of me I can't understand how everyone can learn this.

Wow. That’s what I think when I heard about your opinion on waist vibrato. I also think finger vibrato is non-sense. I experience a bit of so- called finger vibrato in high position which I think it is just a failed arm/ waist vibrato. But it seems like a raising trend that people think it is a thing. The craziest vibrato I have seen is probably someone combine arm vibrato and waist vibrato and do the vibrato . It did blow my mind, but the sound quality is great.

Hello, isn't the technique at 7:14 just a version of wrist vibrato? Using only wrist? So you are saying practicing wrist vibrato will help with arm vibrato? Am I missing something?

@filippogady

Жыл бұрын

You are not missing anything! That’s why I said I have no idea why/how this actually works. It’s not really a wrist vibrato though, I think it just helps loosening up the last joint of the finger. You wouldn’t apply this movement when you actually vibrate in full speed. Hope that helps to clarify somewhat. I still insist that when vibrating “for real”, the impulse needs to come from the elbow/entire forearm.

@ArnHaz

Жыл бұрын

@@filippogady Thanks for the quick response. I think I got what you are trying to say. This is a supplementary exercise to loosen up the first knuckle. I will incorporate your tips to my vibrato practice regimen. The impulse from the elbow thing has to be practiced very slowly. The elbow locks up very often for me. Whenever I try to increase speed, it locks up and I unconsciously shift to wrist movement instead of arm. It's a long process of exploration, as you said yourself.

😊 🎉

7:34 This exercise looks like the motion I thought was wrist vibrato so now I’m totally confused.

Okay but like i'm confused. Why do people say "Wrist Vibrato is bad" and other people say "Arm Vibrato is bad..

As a total beginner, when i tried to do vibrato, instead of wiggling my hand and fingers, the violin's wiggling. 😭

Haha, i totally understand. You can still TRY to get close to that kind of sound/vibrato. record yourself and then listen to him again, then again to your recording. Pay attention to the speed of his vibrato, and the width of it. By doing an A/B comparison like that you should definitely be able to get pretty close. Also, Heifetz pretty much vibrates EVERY SINGLE NOTE and vibrates consistently through an entire phrase. That also contributes to this sound. Good luck! :)

If I had 11 inch fingers I could do that too.... :(

I like your video of not using a shoulder rest, but you are entirely wrong with the wrist vibrato. With a wrist vibrato you have much more fine control of both the width and speed of your vibrato. There are no issues using a wrist vibrato on the highest notes. I have rarely if ever hear someone that used an arm vibrato that doesn't have a warbling sound. If you like arm vibrato this is fine but don't say it is impossible to use a wrist vibrato up the strings including to the top of the G string with any finger.

Arm Vibrato vs Wrist Vibrato. I'm tired of that nonsense discussion.

nonsense! I think you were were not able to lern wrist vibrato. If you did, then prove it and I will apologize
