Bought a violin!!
    #16570016 - 07/22/12 06:25 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

I have wanted to pick it up for years and I finally have.

I got one for 400 dollars plus a tuner, a starter guide, and a shoulder rest. I am going to take one lesson a week as well as practice a video tutorial I was recommended by the instructor.

So far I love it. I am practicing form and learning to read music. I have not begun to use the bow yet because the training video wanted me to start by using 'pizzicato', which is plucking the strings.

I know that guitar does not exactly relate to violin but I can honestly say that my years of playing guitar definitely help with my violin playing. I am creative, my fingers are calloused, and I understand basic musical ideas.


Does anyone else play. Any advice for a newbie?:awedance:

Picking up an instrument is one of the best hobbies you can do.  Good for you!  Jam the fuck out!!

The violin is one of the most beautiful instruments there are.

My sister shreds on violin.  Good luck, man.  You should get an electric violin and get a wah-wah pedal :yesnod:

Awesome purchase!

I've been looking for a while.  The cheapest are the electric newbie editions.  Hopefully I can find a used acoustic version for cheap soon.

Enjoy it!  I hope you stick with it!!

Be sure to record and post when you get the hang of it!

ive been playing for over 10 years now and when you finally get good at it its rewarding as hell but somewhere in the middle i just wanted to give up but now im so glad i didnt! But to be fair that was when i hit puberty so im going to blame it on that so you shouldnt get that problem!

I picked one up in a pawn shop one day, I rosined the bow, I put it to the
strings and pushed the bow across a single string, it sounded great, I hit
the next string, turned the knob a little, then the next and before the last
string the pawn shop manager ask if I was going to play something so I did,
it sounded a  lot like I was raping a cat. he told me to put it back

apparently I'm not a natural at playing the violin

I have so many funny negative Alaskan oriented jokes and why it sucks as a state and having been waiting for this day a long day coming. In fact, this is why I joined the shroomery in order to be able to one day use this material. My mission is complete.
