      Well, let me put it this way. Improper, wiggle vibrato is C grade. Actual good vibrato is more like A grade because it requires lots of practice. The difficult part about vibrato is knowing where to place it and how much. Actual vibrato control consists of being able to do different kinds of vibrato. For example, you can start a long note with no vibrato and ease it in. Or if you're playing a slow section, you vibrato through each and every note. The high-class vibrato consists of using the vibrato to enrich the notes, and the amount placed into each and every note varies musically. Plus, high-class violinists can play through a whole horde of difficult notes moving up to the top of the E-string and vibrate on that last note that's longer to really charge the music. In case many of you have not tried, vibrato is harder the higher you go up in position. Hence, I disagree with the video. Proper vibrato (those of pro violin experts) is at least A class, if not higher.

      Fingered octave trills are hard, but very doable in higher positions. The reason is that the higher in position you go, the less spacing there is for each octave, so you are stretching your fingers less. The hard octave trills are the ones in first position because these require the most finger stretching!

      @tashvi mehta How is it basically A#m? Is it a weird spelling thing like sometimes there are double flats and sometimes a c sharp can be a d flat because it's in the context of a chord or whatever? or is it a completely different scale that is pretty similar? Google provided me with no answers, I'm sorry

      Yeah, but he just does hit so he doesn’t stick to his violin. Sticking to a viola is impossible, you see, as the immune system naturally fights it.

    This was really helpful. I'm a self taught fiddle player so I don't know any of these fancy shmancy classical names for techniques, and I've been searching for days for a video on how to do 'staccato', which is what I would have described the technique as from my other musical experience (guitar and piano), but none of them were what I was looking for, they demonstrated (up bow) staccato as you have here. This video was among the search results today and I opened it in a new tab to watch after I'd found what I was looking for. Nothing. So then I watched this video, and lo and behold - the technique I am looking for is actually called 'Spiccato', and there are many videos on it.
    Thanks fellas.

    I learned how to ricochet before learning what arpeggios are, i didn't even realize ricochet is a genuine technique i did it cause it sounded cool
