there is so much clarity in this presentation and delivery - a big thank you from a student making a big jump from viola to cello over the past year! super sharp teaching points 😊

[@alptuna06]

Doublebassists just laughed out loud on 0:10

[@iAmKristix]

have you noticed, at 11:58 he was shifting C to F and the obertones of C kept ringing. wow thats literally playing two notes on one string :D

[@miloslavavoicehovna3551]

Wow, all of it is incredibly useful! Especially how to hide shifts, because I really have never been thinking about It. Thank you so much, Pablo!

[@johannanorico]

I had tried some of the tips though I haven't given much thought of it. Your tutorial gives me a more broad knowledge in terms of shifting. Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me. It inspire me to think and experiment more when practicing. More videos please! Can't wait to try it out myself.

Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge as a soloist through this channel. You classic guys' incredible skills always make me think what kind of people you are and feel a little far in some ways. But your candor melts everything that I thought out. Hope to see you and listen to your music in person someday!

So very helpful to have you explain with examples, suggestions and to be encouraged to explore the variations and find your own voice.

[@jengillmor]

Thank you so much for these tips videos! You're an excellent teacher. I am mostly self-taught so to stumble upon lessons from you to break out of bad habits and learn new things has been amazing.

[@sasssssa6565]

Thank youuu!!❤️Useful, it allows me to inderstand what I m doing because I did a lot of this different shift, but without always notice it and paying attention. And the last tips is intresting because I often shift with te same or the first finger

[@jorisArt]

I have viewed this video several times as it is such a valuable review! You seem to cover everything. Thank you Pablo very much!

[@ezequielcamacho5956]

Buenísimo!! Muy útil en serio... gracias Pablo!!

[@MILAMGM]

Love this video, consecutive fingers is the best way for shifting from my point of view 🎶🎶 You’re great giving all the examples!!

[@cellosong]

Thank you for your generosity. You share important differences in shifting techniques and their unique musical impacts. I love your analogies - fine teachers use analogies. Your willingness to pass these tips along to others is much appreciated!

[@JamieHendrix818]

Excellent as always. I now have a full plate to work on this this week. Getting this musical wisdom from one of my favorite all time Cellists is an amazing gift. Thank you Pablo.

[@SaraGonzalez-ni6gs]

Gracias Pablo!! Soy violinista e igual me sirven tus consejos un montón 🧡

[@laurendelumpa]

I struggle with shifts. Thanks for all the ideas. 😊
I agree shifting backward would also be helpful.

[@christylenhardt7622]

I found this at the perfect time! I’m working on the Elgar concerto and my current focus is cleaning up my shifts to make the melody line clear and lyrical. My goal is to keep the romantic style without any “swoops” due to poor shifting. Thank you as always Pablo!! Xxx

[@jadsvar]

Wonderful insights and advices! Thank you! I am hooked to your channel.

[@sgarcia_cello]

Me ha servido muchooo!!

[@handmaiden9839]

[@strazzafurniture]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill!!

[@dahlrussell]

This was very helpful. I agree, I think the more options we have helps give us more to bring to the music, to better bring out the way we want it to sound. Thank you.

[@Califgracer]

Very helpful information, thanks. You are an outstanding cellist!

[@margaribermejolopez8702]

Gracias Pablo!! Son unas explicaciones muy precisas, seguro que nos resultan de gran ayuda.

[@philliplove9699]

Thank you for such great advice - so clearly given. Best lesson ever? Great!

[@igortarcisiofuentespatino6189]

Gracias por los consejos desde Ciudad de México. Es muy amable de su parte. Yo apenas comienzo, y me había dado cuenta de ello, de hecho la cabeza se me embrolla al asomarme tanto al diapasón como al trabajo de mano izquierda y, efectivamente las combinaciones son muchísimas, por lo cual, como trabajo esencial las manos, especialmente la izquierda debe de fortalecerse físicamente, para estar preparada para cualquier cambio que se presente.

[@jbinroom2038]

Love it… and I play violin! Thank you!!

[@angelica_cello8740]

Muchas gracias ! De gran ayuda tus consejos. Eres un gran artista te admiro mucho! Desde Chile un gran saludo Cellistico!🎶💕

[@Robyn19fnq]

Thank you for your insight. Muscle memory is more difficult on strings due to the different finger distances in different positions. It means many hours practice in first position, then second .... etc. Then it might be possible to shift so accurately into higher positions. Your methods are very helpful.

[@pdxxx97266]

Excellent analysis! 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@carrieannkouri2151]

Using consecutive fingers is a gamer changer. Thank you!

[@sherryvanrijn5453]

Outstanding! Thank you so much!!

[@jorisArt]

Thank you so much Pablo! Very informative!

[@mrfire4786]

very helpful and always interesting to learn form the very best people
thankyou Pablo Ferrandez
see you in Paris on 23.3 again 😃

[@rafaelhoekman4712]

Hi Pablo, great video! In Han Jensen's book Cellomind shifts are explained even further. The first shift you describe is called smiley face (: under the fingerboard you call it. He calls the other type rainbow arch. An up and down motion. He also advocates combining the two for very large shifts. He also points out the different combos of fingers, bow changes, etc. It's very helpful. Interestingly, I had heard from Starker that it's always better to shift from a higher finger to a lower one or use the same finger. I think it's to do with having balance in the hand. I think your explanation is great. Consecutive fingers! Interesting to avoid the same finger. I will try your ideas. Thanks so much! I hold the bow the way you do now, and will never change back! Also, that Shostakovich fingering from your talking cello video with Kian is amazing! An idea for a video would be tips for difficult bow strokes. Different off the string strokes? Bravo to you!

[@annlandreville]

Thank you so much! I appreciate greatly!

[@valeriamezzano]

Very useful tips! Thanks!!

[@buttonedcub063]

Awesome vid, very helpful

That was very helpful, thank you!!!!

[@user-xk9ji8vn7d]

Thank you sooooo much!!! 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@BassoIuga]

Congrats and thanks for sharing your knowledge !
I’m a bass player and I did learn the basic shifting named :”alla Heifez” ( old finger on the old bow) - and “Alla Kreisler “. (New finger on the new bow). There is some combination of this two : old finger - new bow , new finger -old bow. Also, start with old finger and in the middle continue with the new finger - on old bow , eventually on the new bow and so on. So, there is a truly art of shifting! String player should care more about.

[@bobsalerno1381]

Wow I never thought about how my elbow moves when I shift, I will experiment with that
My shifting technique is mostly just yeeting through mid-air and landing on 1 finger sometimes lol
And the last tip about not shifting onto the same finger is helpful!!

[@michellezhucello]

Thank you! Yes it’s very helpful!

[@JoseGarcia-kg2ck]

Gracias amigo !!

[@astrobot702]

Pablo is my Yoda...

[@peterc_dancestudio]

A shifting technique not mentioned is finger replacement. So, same note different finger. I use this to prepare for more favorable incoming fingerings.

[@d.sprod.3271]

Very interesting.!
