[@mikeoli1215]

Wow I just want to say thank you! this beginner lesson really helped me so much . Also the tip on “letting your wrist lead” while playing the bow has helped me in a great way. All the way from tuning to playing the notes I feel I have followed you step by step. You don’t know how much I appreciate this 🙏 ☺️

[@verrettjared]

I haven't ever played an instrument before. But I love the erhu and would love to keep following you to learn.

[@DyausLLL]

you Play so nicely your pant and shirt is good

[@rjstoneus]

These tutorial videos are great! TH-cam doesn't have many videos of erhu tutorials and many videos seem to leave out many important details that people forget that beginners won't know. I hope you will make more tutorial videos and put them in one playlist in your channel to make them easier to find.

[@JosePerez-lo2ps]

Greetings teacher, when does one finish playing the Erhu! You have to loosen your strings.

[@LottieLucid]

Do you have an online course I can do? Would love to learn more from you, some simple melodies etc

[@Music_loverss2]

[@amparocarpenter6536]

Hi do you have the proper fingering and note position for erhu and how can I get a copy please

[@amparocarpenter6536]

I only just received my erhu, and I want to learn properly, I know you hold two strings but do you press it with the bow or do you play one string at a time with the bow?

[@ernestodejesusolmedo635]

se tocan ambas cuerdas a la vez?
are both strings played at the same time?

[@liyuqi8092]

Have I been playing the notes all wrong? Do you not press the top of the string? From the video it looks like the fingertip is placed on the side of the string and not the top. I'm very confused.

[@JBChen]

I do press the top of the strings as you do. The fingertip is NOT placed on the side of the string.

[@rjstoneus]

@@JBChen I too have trouble figuring out the angle of the fingers in most videos.

[@bearlove90]

Can you teach how to produce a sound from the erhu? I just received mine and don't know why I cannot make sound.
Also can you teach us how to tune?

[@amparocarpenter6536]

I tried to start learning but I can't seem to make a sound how do you tune erhu,please help.

[@JBChen]

Here is the tuning information th-cam.com/video/NGGyy8iByd4/w-d-xo.html

[@rjstoneus]

If you don't have enough rosin on the bow hairs then the hairs will just slide without making any sound. It seems to take a while to figure out how to get enough rosin on the bow without getting too much. I think maybe it's because different rosin is different in hardness especially depending on the temperature and stuff. Using sandpaper on the rosin can help get it started.

[@amparocarpenter6536]

@@rjstoneus Thank you I didn't think of it, I appreciate this reply I'll give this a try.

[@VagishaDas]

I did practice that but I don't sound like that yet.🤔😥

[@mkxiong6427]

I sound like a dying horse wtf man. You can’t just teach us hot cross buns and then be like “practice everyday and you’ll sound like this” wtffff.

[@TheAnalyticalObservers]

Can you start doing videos in spandex?
