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. 😐

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.

He needs Ling Ling insurance. He was doing vibrato without even having a proper bow hold or haven the bow straight. But without a teacher that was very impressive.

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.

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.

I've spent 5 years of my life learning the violin and all I can say is that ur progress is amazing. 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.

Tbf he was layering the sounds

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.

I don't care what anybody thinks. That song at the end with the multiple violins was epic. Well done.

He tried frickin dance macabre, even i have after 9 years of playing the violin trouble with that piece.

In his “day 1, hour 0” bit, his bow hold was actually very good!!!

G'day Mike, great video, I think you did awesome. I bought a violin for myself and my son today. No experience but I'm keen. You gave me some pointers. Cheers

You are awesome, just 13 hours of practice and your music is so good. Good to hear you to playing on the violin!

This is honestly amazing for a beginner. I’ve been playing violin for 3 years and I don’t know how he is so good. He is such a quick learner.

This is INCREDIBLE! I just bought myself a beautiful violin on a whim with the dream of self teaching, and as someone who also plays music by ear this video was truly inspiring! So so awesome! Thank you for sharing! 😍

I’ve been learning violin for 3 years now and I’d suggest you get a teacher as self teaching violin will lead to many bad habits that will make you have to relearn all your technique. It’ll also be hard to know how to take care of the violin e.g. untightening the bow before storage. Although he made very large progress he still showed many bad habits.

Yeah but also you need some professional help for doing the techniques right like how to hold the bow and violin properly, reading notes and other symbols

Brass player here. Often stick my noses up strong players because, some, are just up their own arses. However, I've always wanted to learn to play one to help out a small orchestra I help run. Cracking video and we'll done for learning in a short time frame.

Every aspect of this video was beautiful. I'm only 23, but I've wanted to play the violin since I was maybe 8. I think I am going to pick it up this summer. And what better time than during COVID-19.

At the end of the year you should make a recap video of all the skills you've learned and show you can still do it! :)

I play 3 different instruments. And a violin I want to try. Just to see how to. And learning something new other than play songs. Musical instruments is a learning process. And I'm glad I am always seeking to learn more.

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.

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.

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.

Mike: learning how to play the violin like a begginer. Also mike: gets violin with 1 fine tuner and shifts with vibrato in 2 hours.

Man watching this , totally enjoyed it , not easy starting from scratch I started like you , I combine notes and hearing especially if I picked up that something just doesn’t sit right in the song , also a lot of tab music I sit and write them all down at night the ones I want to play next that way I got a bunch to keep me interested and learning , I loved your mix you did that was awesome , I been playing for a few months and still got a long way to go though I am getting better slowly , really love the instrument my favourite. 👍

Thank you Mike! The editing was very nice, its always a big pleassure to watch your videos. Greetings from Germany!

Coming from a violinist if you want a more broad sound buy a shoulder rest and open your posture more and watch a video or 2 on how to read sheet music and where each note goes helps in the long run but other than that you did amazing

Too bloody good young man. I am an ancient Scot who has just today first picked up a violin and tortured a note out of it. You did well, though I noticed you had a lot of your quintuplet brothers to help you. You have inspired me and I know it will take me at least a week to better that. Well done. Jimmy.

*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.*
