I love all the detail. Explaining not only what do do but why to do it is huge.
Another adult learner here and I'd like to thank you for your fine "rambling" as you have spread a good bit of light on the bow hold thumb controversy.
Glad you liked this video! Please, if you have any questions for Joseph, post them on his dedicated page below:

Thanks again :)
Your bow hold explanation is wonderful. Thank you for sharing so many different views from various angles; they answer lots of questions for me.
Thank you for this. The curved thumb approach was killing me. This helps a ton.
Glad it's helpful!
He’s an amazing teacher,! Thank you so much for sharing the tips. Very very useful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your approach in cello playing. This straight thumb explanation is very clear and quite logical. I had thought about using it before and now I definitively going to do it.

Thank you so much for this. I'm an adult learner and have been struggling for months with my bow hold due to hypermobile joints. I'm going to give these bow hold tips a try.

I know I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Maddux Brendan lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Maddux Brendan i watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Maddux Brendan I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)
You make so much sense. i am going to try the straight thumb.It will hopefully help my arthritis. i can't bed the thimb so well
Thanks Hanne Gault
I tried using a straight thumb and it honestly drastically changed my sound for the better
No wonder my hand hurts sometimes when I didn't lift my pinky. I think the method shown in this video will give my hand more balance. It's worth a try and makes more sense than what my middle school orchestra teacher taught me.

Virtual Sheet Music Thank you! You too!
Thank you for your detailed explanation. I did find the pinky finger placement information to be helpful.
Great to know that!
I like the way you are open to different approaches, like the bow hold.
I would love a lesson about the first position and some exercises on how to train your ear and hand to be in tune :)
Thank you and congrats for your work : )

Thank you for freeing me from pinky guilt. Two of my daughters are violinist and after years of Suzuki training I am, in my old age, trying to take up cello. I have been battling the fact I keep putting my pinky on top and find trying to put it down on the frog is very uncomfortable. I will work on trying a less locked thumb and just let the pinky be where it wants to. Thanks again.
You are very welcome!
On fiddle, I use the pinky at the 11:00 o clock for like a rudder...this was a natural happening for me through the years. I t kind of gives better control for me. This is like pinky surfing. Blue Dave.
Thank you! That was helpful 💪
Glad it helped!
Your videos are great, what books would you suggest for a beginning adult? Thanks, Suzie
The bow hold from a cello point of view is far more variable than for the violin or bass, especially the thumb.

Any comments on Janos Starker’s bow hold?
How tight does the bow string need to be

When you use bended thumb, don't you want to try it resting between the ring and upper part of the frog. Right in the ebony arch, which is more close to the right end of the bow

Prof. Mendoes doesn't check questions here on TH-cam, I am sorry.
Thank you for your helpful videos! I started cello at age 60 (I've played piano, flute, guitar for many years). Seven years later, I'm struggling with stiff joints, arthritis pain, etc. I study off and on with a teacher and practice daily. It seems I can play the notes but it still doesn't sound like music. Is it too late for me??

You’re awesome ☺️
It is never too late. Play for yourself. Play for the sheer enjoyment of the music itself. :-)
It is never too late :)
