Plans for the week ahead!

Thanks to everyone who's helped me establish the base of my new blog! This video I have selected above is a clip of me trying to learn a portion of Tchaikovsky's violin concerto. This is after about 2 hours of practice and it is no where near perfect. I was going to do an update video for youtube where I play it more beautifully but I never got around to it... so feel free to comment but know I don't hold the video above to my personal standards :/ The climax of the clip is at the middle-end for those who are impatient :P

Looking ahead!
My new videos for next will come as follows...
1.Saria's song/Epona's melody from LOZ:OOT (learning by ear)
2.Attempt to get Berceuse and Finale- Stravinski
3.Devil went down to Georgia- just because :P
4.An excerpt from Paganini's caprice 24
5.An excerpt from Vitali chaccone?(maybe)


For the following week maybe I will try and learn Air on the G string by Bach (I just need the music)


Thanks again everyone!

    Nice playing. I wish I was that good with any instrument, but I suck at even chorus.
    Keep up the effort, it's obviously paying off.

    I can't wait to see your version of 'Paganini's Caprice No. 24', I've seen Jascha Heifetz playing it on YouTube and it totally blew my mind. Keep it up.

    not the caprice in its entirety Manny, I wish I could! Paganini's writings are the top tier level of difficulty for any instrument, and I am only able to play my own arrangement of sections of the piece. There's some left hand pizzicatto in there too that I will be playing :]

    I can't wait to hear you play the Zelda songs! The Devil Went Down To Georgia will be a good listen, too! The violin is an interesting instrument indeed.

    Tchaikovsky seems difficult to play. Good job though.

    Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.
    One of my favorite violin concertos and also one of the hardest to play.
    Keep it up bro. You'll be able to play in flawlessly in the future.
