Bow more with the elbow and not the shoulder. Good hand movement. Relax the shoulders and raise the left elbow. Good job

Thank you! I’m gonna get one to practice while away from home

Does it stay in tune?

Very well played and great bass sound dear friend!

Nice. I have the black one. It's the best looking strat shape guitar ever. It's not so big. ❤❤

Wow amazing job. Really impressive that you mastered your intonation so easily and quickly ❤

I’m just glad that the new affinity teles have string through bodies

You’re getting really good! Compared to when you started, did you get a teacher? The Cello is hard.

Smooth

Very nice playing, it sounds very fluid and musical so congrats to all of your hard work. Keep practicing hard

Thank you for posting more of your progress, I have just a few comments on this section as well so if you’d like please read through. I really like how you broke the run into sets of 4 notes instead of trying to get all of the notes in one bow, in fact when I performed this piece I did the same thing, however some things to keep in mind that helped me were that this scale escalates as you go up almost to a climax, as such you naturally slow down until the top g, for me I like to play the last 3 notes of that run all separately to accentuate it. Also in that run you can use the time you’re playing the open A to shift up to a 1 on the C sharp so you can play a 2 and 4 for the d and e then you can use the time you’re playing the open A to shift all the way up for that high g. Personally I’ve found this fingering/bowing to be the most fluid and work the best. Then after the run I liked the use of the open d and staying in 4th position however something else I also personally like is right after that instead of going back to first playing the next nots as a F sharp with your 3 then shifting back with your 1 on D this sets you up for a 3 on your D string for that A then back to your 1 on the A string for the D. Right after that you can use your open d string to shift back to first position for the next part. Also it may have been a small mistake but always remember to start that D in mm. 16 on a down bow. Anyways these are just small notes that I personally have found sound best so you can try them if you’d like. Thank you again for posting and I look forward to seeing more updates in the future :)

👏

Beautifully played overall great job with your playing and interpretation of this piece

Wow, you re so good man 👏

I’m not sure how helpful this will be but there are a few things I would recommend for anyone playing cello and especially this piece 1. Try bringing your left hand more around the instrument so that your fingers fall more naturally into where they’re supposed to be this will also help you not get stuck when going to higher positions 2. In this specific piece the slow downs are mainly at the turns (like the top notes of a run or the low notes) as such you can take time there but be careful of adding slow downs until you’ve fully got the rhythms down (a goal I like to play at is eighth note=75-85 but tempo is very subjective to the person) 3. The c natural in mm. 26 I’ve found to sound best if you play with your first finger and extend your 4th finger to hit the e and play the next d and c as a 2 extended 1 however much like tempo fingering is also extremely subjective I hope my input helps a bit, and if not you can always ignore this comment. Overall very nice playing and congrats with how far you’ve gotten with this so far

!! rock n roll my friend !! stay safe and have a great day :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuida la afinacion

Thanks for posting every day-it’s much appreciated.

It sounds really good, very well... and that guitar is a beauty.

Lots of practice!... wish I could have all the time I need to do that... keep on. ♫

Beautiful!

wow not bad

good job Mark !

Great left thumb placement on the vibrato!

Wow that sounds amazing, love the tapping segment! btw, what are you using to get that sustain near the end?

this bring me 80s vibes and i love it. ive been trying to figure out how to get that same progression into my playing and you just unlocked it in my mind and im grateful. the playing and key of the song complement the chords very well, great playing!

The beauty of practice, and that's a very nice melody to inspire you, keep on the good work.

That's lovely, you played softer than the practices, well done... and that final feedback sounds really good, great closure. ♫ ♥🎸♪

So, new is: oiled fretboard, swapped string trees to roller ones, and one of them moved closer to the nut. Moving a string tree closer induces more string pressure on the nut, wich CAN be beneficial tonewise or NOT. Also changes the sympathetic ring of the end bits of the strings from nut to tuners... . But for tuning stability it's not. I usually lift them up, for having juuuust enough pressure on the nut. 😊 edit: the tuners seem to be changed to Fender top hole wrap. Those are nice!

Quite an amazing instrument chelo is... keep on the good work.

All those are really good as melodic motive ideas, keep on the practice.

Wow very nice!!

What instrument do you enjoy to play the most?

Very nice, that's a lovely melody.
