How To Buy Your First Violin - George Jackson with Brandon Godman
Support lessons with George on Patreon at www.patreon.com/georgejackson
Check out Brandon Godman's The Violin Shop in Nashville here - www.theviolinshop.com/
This video offers some options for beginner violinists and fiddlers on the often daunting task of finding an instrument to buy. I often get asked in my CZcams comments "Can you tell me a good brand of violin to buy?", and the answer to that question is less straight forward than it would otherwise be for other instruments. My answer is to go to a reputable local violin shop or music store and get advice from those people who know what they're talking about. So that's what I've done for you here!
In this video with Brandon we discuss the options of buying student model instruments or renting instruments, such as the program Brandon has at his Violin Shop where you can get a rental package to try out and build up equity with the shop towards a purchase if you decide you want to keep learning and own an instrument.

Love love love this tune...thanks for sharing my friends. Got gifted a violin last December can't wait to learn how to play it well. Peace, love and light folks. 💜🙏
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Incredible
That was great!
yeah, date Mozart and leave me alone
Hello George, thank you a great first lesson, i am 58 years old, i started learning guitar when i was 7 years old, not a master by any means, but im excited to find your lessons, I usually just try to learn most things by myself but its very nice to be shown properly.
BIG LOVE
Great video, just good for a complete newby like me. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but two things I learned before watching this video which I think are worth mentioning: 1) Remember to use rosin or else the bow won´t make a sound :) If the rosin is shinny, use some sand paper to break it before using, it should release powder as you apply it to the bow. 2) Bow pressure on the strings should be minimal, or else sound will be horrible
Wow!
@georgejacksonmusic what is you violin size?
This sounds amazing! I’ve been trying to learn this solo.. love to get some more information on this!
Love you sm
Thank you so much for this!!! Does anyone have recommendations for a good beginner violin to purchase?
I just made a video that will hopefully help with this question :) czcams.com/video/EMh3L_lYFfM/video.html
Amazing performance, guys! :-) Such a joyful song!
Im so glad i found this! I just got my first violin and honestly youtube videos teach me best!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for the lesson! This is perfect for me; i just got a violin today!
Sounds great y'all!
Always great audio, video and of course playing!!
Beautiful sir
I'm at Zerooo...! I feel the bow so heavy for my hand. The biggest problem is that the chinrest hurts my collarbone 😢. Then I have to switch tasks between hands: right hand holds and left hand fiddles😂. Sounds crazy but it's much better 🤣🤣
What violin should I get?
Just made a video to help with this question! czcams.com/video/EMh3L_lYFfM/video.html
@@GeorgeJacksonMusic thank you!! 😊
very toughtful. thank you.
So little views :(
haha I posted this a few minutes ago! But thanks for watching :)
Sounds like "Man" in the Woodpile to me
Awesome George...! I don't even have a violin as of now but I'm already hooked..!! Thank you so much.🎻
Dutch, Sean’s fightin with the ol’driscolls in the bar again..
This was amazing!!! less than 2 hours and I was playing for first time ever Violin!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Are u the guy on the thumbnail?? That dude oozes outlaw n cool
How hard is it to learn Vivaldi summer?
The scale part os messing me up i need a view of the hand from top so i can see where the fingers go
From what I've seen, using violin note stickers or finger tapes solves that issue. Finger tapes usage seems to be more accurate method.
Why when I play it, when I try playing full bow with the same technique, it isn't making a sound despite having rosin, Is my bow bad or am I doing something wrong..? what could be the possible reasons?
Great video! 👍🏽
Well, I managed to break a string. Oops. However, I appreciate your thorough explanation. I found myself asking clarifying questions in my head, and lo and behold, you managed to answer them as if we were having a conversation face to face. Wonderful job anticipating a newbies mistakes. I watched the bow string while doing upward and downward strokes and that seemed to improve my ability to make a clean note. Is this improper? Where shall we look when learning?
Hi, I have always wanted to learn violin. Your videos seem fairly easy to follow and I am eager to learn from your videos. However, I am struggling in which violin to buy. Could you recommend one please?
If you can, I would recommend that you rent a decent one rather than buying a crappy one. Just go to a shop where they do lessons and inquire. But you will have to practice a lot to make it worth it. Many places offer lessons and rentals as a single price.
You make it much easier to understand George. Thanks so much for this lesson.
how does keep their bow from skipping/jittering between up and down strokes? Is this just something that gets better with practice or am I practicing incorrectly?
great exercise George !
Talented young people!
I don’t understand where to put fingers for d major scare which string !
Good dogs are everywhere
Hi George! Did I pass you at the Grand Ole Opry last September? Or was it a lookalike? Great channel really helpful with learning the instrument. What tuning do you play this in? Thanks!
At 60yrs I’m learning the violin after trying many other instruments wish me luck lol
