- *LOUD VERSION* I've had a lot of feed back that my original video is too quiet. So here's a louder version, it's not going to be perfect but turn it up and I hope it helps!
Lesson #1 of the complete beginners guide with George Jackson covers the basics about holding the bow, names of the strings and playing open strings. 110 more lessons are available on George's Patreon at / georgejackson
George's music is available on CD and Vinyl at georgejacksonmusic.bandcamp.com or www.georgejacksonmusic.com/store

Absolutely excellent and very clear- thank you!
You are by far the best online fiddle teacher! Your approach to teaching sure beats the other online teachers!
Glad you're enjoying the lessons!
fantastic video for a beginner, thank you!
Thank you for your time. This first lesson was really fun and I learned something. KC from Baja, California.
Thanks!
I just found your channel and look forward to learning how to finally play the violin that I bought a few years ago and never even played. It's something I've always wanted to learn but was intimidated by it from the moment I took it out of the box. And this video is the perfect sound level for my computer.
Im so glad i found this! I just got my first violin and honestly youtube videos teach me best!
Loved this, thank you for starting with the basics. I look forward to lesson 2!!
thanks for sharing the louder version of this video! Really excited to begin this journey!!
Awesome video. Can't wait for more
Very nice George ,thank you ,keep up the awesome inspirational works
This is a great beginner video, I just got my first violin fixed. I can't wait to see lesson 2.
Thanks for a great lesson! Looking forward to more!!
Great video! A big difference from most other violin video lessons that make me feel like a kid in a music school
navy seen a few of these but yours is excellent and so well explained
Excellent.
i love your teaching it helped me so much
Thankyou, you're a very good teacher
Thank you George I learnt something good
Thank you George! I have very limited experience with playing instruments, so I'm basically starting as a complete newbie on violin today. You got me started with something I can practice for a bit. I'll be sure to check out your other lessons too.
Thank you so much this helps me alot on my first day i learned how to hold violin correctly
this was great just got my 1st violin yesterday!! 4-11-23
Thank youuu. My first day!
I'm a pro now thank you! Just kidding but I am stoked for the next lesson
I just sent you $20, hope you got it!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Love it 👍♥️
I learned banjo recently and now I’m onto fiddle, there are no fiddle teachers in my area so I’d like to thank you for making this series. Also I mean no insult with this but you look like Jeffery Dahmer, no offense meant sorry lol 😂
I thought i would be screechy but my notes are sounding solid.
You are cool
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.
My pinkie finger cramps up when I hold the bow. Advice??
How do I stop my wrist wriggle? When I pull the bow down it’s wiggling like crazy and I don’t know what I’m doin wrong 😭😬
What are some brands or locations to get a fiddle below $500. that are not junk?
Complete beginner here. Don’t even have one yet. I’m left handed, would I have the fiddle on my left or right shoulder? Also, how do you tune it? Standard guitar tuner?
Most left handed players play with the fiddle and bow in the same position as right handed players and that’s what I’d suggest. Usually it’s just what you get used to and besides there’s a lot going on in the left hand so your lead hand will be suited to the coordination needed for the fingering hand. Yes the strings are tuned GDAE and a standard guitar tuner will work fine to tune your strings.
I’m having some issues holding the violin under my chin and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Should I be purchasing a shoulder strap?
You might try a shoulder rest. I myself was never able to find a chin rest that was both stable and comfortable, so I just took it off and rest my chin on the belly of the violin. I found that I was more deeply aware of tone, intonation, dynamics, and it is very comfortable. With a shoulder rest (I use a Resonans 3 which is a little too low, but manageable) it is also very stable. It's best to go to a shop so you cn try them out. Not everyone has the same length of Neck. Cheers, and best of luck with Violins, Bows, and Teachers.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the lesson 😊
