    Is there nothing that Sierra can't play on a mandolin? Her talent is jaw dropping!! And she makes it look so effortless! Her voice is beautiful, her personality seems so great, and she is so pretty!! She is a total blessing! Magical!!

      his level of understanding of musical composition is still higher than the entire musical knowledge of the top 100 pop stars combined and its 2020, and i mean, i subscribe to the church of van halen where our lord eddie once proclaimed "if it sounds good, it is good" but, i'm sure if Bach was still alive/bought back to life, that'd be something to brag about lol.

  • @jackwilloughby239
    @jackwilloughby239 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Bach's first paying gig was as a violinist. All of his sons played the violin except the one who was left handed, Johann Christoph I think. He probably taught the violin along the same lines as he taught the Harpsichord: Six months of four note patterns, hands static, in all positions and all keys, quite like Liszt's technical exercises for Piano. I've tried to replicate this Method in my series called "Gripology" for Jazz Violin. What I have found starting as a Bluegrass fiddle player, who got into Bebop with out classical training, is that Classical Training is more geared towards playing Paganini rather than Bach. And this is born out in comments by Henrik Szeryng and Nathan Milstein that "You have to adopt Unconventional Fingering to play Bach!" For me, the big thing was not that it was "unconventional" rather that it was Chromatic based rather than Diatonic. The pedagogy, or approach, to playing the Unaccompanied Bach is really only shared with a Lucky Few, so it can seem Monstrously Difficult! But on the other hand, since I played guitar(flat picking,) I was able to use that knowledge to learn the Prelude in E and the Presto in G minor on the Violin. I just totally ignored the fingering and the bowing and tried to learn it like I would learn Donna Lee for instance, on the Guitar.

Also upset a salesman in a guitar shop by playing an instrument I'd never seen before. He told me, if you play guitar, you'll not be able to play this. A Goldtone Octave mandolin which was bizarrely in tune GDAE. Gave him a quick classical run down and almost bought if. But he was a bit rude so decided not to.
