I started practicing a simple version of a song, He's a pirate which only uses open strings and 2,3 5. I kind of built off that and started improvising within those notes because I am a bit bored of practicing techniques, it's definitely more fun to attempt a song!

I think it is a good practice to film myself because when I listen back I can hear where I am having the most trouble. Aside from not hitting a few notes properly I have noticed I have the most blips when switching from string to string cleanly with the bow. I think my mind anticipates it and I overthink it.

Sort:  

I've never attempted to play the violin. I can just imagine how much practice it takes to get anywhere with it.

Yeah it's pretty hard, the no frets is the worst lol, if you are a millimetre off you can hear it! I'll just keep practising one step at a time and hopefully see improvements.
