Виртуозная игра! Особенно когда двойные ноты и трели. Буду брать увеличительное стекло, чтобы посмотреть, как играть двойные ноты. Спасибо огромное! Я из Вашего урока сделал для Хава Нагила открытие: начальные фразы лучше прерывать, чем соединять. В этом колорит этого великого произведения.
yayy! Hi Chris, just tried the easy version, what a fun it is to play this tune, Thank u so much, I bought a copy of Exploring jazz violin a few years ago, and it's become a dear book for me because where I live I haven't been lucky enough to find how to fiddle, Now I'm ready to give it a chance again and felt reencouraged when this notification popped, it's been a happy surprise to realize that it is you the author, too! Cheers
Good video Chris, and well-explained as usual. We used to play a much shorter and more simplified version of this in the band many, many years ago, and in the middle there was a vocal solo which went "have a banana, have a banana, have a banana, six bob a pun!" Those days of innocence are long gone - we'd be shot for doing that today!
Кстати, Крис, твой обучающий репертуар может украсить «Those Were the Days», , который был исполнен великой Мэри Хопкинс. Это русская мелодия, но неподражаемо спета по-английски.
Please spell out the name of the scale in this song. I have listen many times but i can not get it. Does it have a musical definition. Thanks in advance . Mike
Hi Poppy. The scale is called Freygish (Yiddish) or Ahava Raba (Hebrew). If you send me an email (see bottom of the description), I will send you a pdf of the scale. I will also do a video about the scale itself shortly.
@@TheFiddleChannel Thanks for the answer , I copied the scale from the video but I do look forward to the video about the scale. Great job on this one , I really like the tunes that have a Minor sound. Keep up the good work . Thanks for the reply. Mike
Hi. Just wondering if I heard you correctly. You say this version of Hava Nagila is in D major yet it is clearly written in Bb major. Am I missing something??
Hi Jack. Like many klezmer tunes, Hava Nagila is modal. As such the key does not match the key signature. The convention in klezmer is to write the flats into the key signature, and the sharps as accidentals. Try playing B flat chords over the melody and you'll see that this clearly doesn't work!
@@TheFiddleChannel Okay, now I'm even more confused since I looked up Klezmer music and got this. What key is klezmer? C It figures prominently in Eastern European music, particularly Klezmer music, and melodies based on this scale have an exotic, romantic flavor for listeners accustomed to more typical Western scales. A Ukrainian minor scale in the key of C would proceed as follows: C D E♭ F♯ G A B♭. These are the notes used in Hava Nagila and this Wikipedia replay says it in the key of C?? Not D...and not even Bb major as I would think as the #'s are designated as accidentals. Is there something/somewhere I can read more about this so I'm not taking up your time. By the way I love the way you teach violin. No nonsense and not flowery. I've learned many a tune by your tutorials. Jack
@@jackverheyden2958 Klezmer uses several different keys, and several different modes. The Ukrainian minor (AKA Miseberakh) is a different mode from the Freygish used by Hava Nagila. Discussions about modes (such as the one you copied) might use C as an example, just as a reference point, but in fact C minor is pretty rare in klezmer. I have a video on the freygish mode that might be helpful; th-cam.com/video/z6Y7KmEaC3M/w-d-xo.html

Finally, the knowledge of English came in handy, I understand almost everything, but you play very fast, it's amazing, I'll never play like that😄
If you believe that then you never will
yayy!

We've all committed some terrible musical crimes over the years!
Saludos. Le agradesco su leccion. Como se consigue su libro?
los detalles de mis libros están en la descripción debajo del video
If I am playing with a guitarist what are the easiest chords for him to play and what key?
Hi John. If you send me an email to haighchris@hotmail.com, I will send you the chords
Кстати, Крис, твой обучающий репертуар может украсить «Those Were the Days», , который был исполнен великой Мэри Хопкинс. Это русская мелодия, но неподражаемо спета по-английски.
Привет, НайлЯ уже сделал "Это были дни". Красивая мелодия!
