tiny little part of Grappelli´s Live version in Warsaw 1991-How High the Moon.

Hi Matt. You had a few Blues tutorial videos somewhere- I think in the Classroom section. I looked at the first one a while back. I can't find them anywhere now. Am I looking in the wrong place or have they been taken down?

My friend sent me this video of me playing a blues 13 years ago. It taught me a few things about myself and progress. Firstly, I don’t love it. It was difficult to see my technique, plus hearing my sound and intonation was a tough one. But it is great to see that the many hours of practise that I have done since then have really helped. I didn’t start out from a young age with good technique, I was a terrible violin student as a child and teenager, most of my work on this has been as an adult. Small amounts of practise consistently and a “long game” approach has helped me develop a lot as a violinist. This is something I believe in so much for all learners, there is no quick route to success with any instrumental practise. Some good things… It did remind me that I’ve had a good sense of swing for a while, I grew up around my jazz musician grandfather and spent summers when I was visiting going around with him to his gigs, playing “trad” jazz. Listening to this has really helped me take stock of what I could already do from a young age which in turn has helped me really think about how I help others who might not have had this exposure to jazz early on. I have some fun plans for helping others get themselves around jazz rhythms on here. There is a new course in the works! Please be kind in the comments...

Hi all, I’ve created a simple pathway specifically for beginner jazz violinists to help you get the most out of what I do and know exactly where to start. Its attached to this post! If you’re not sure where to begin, just head to:👉 Classroom →Membership/Course Info It walks you through the pathway step-by-step and shows you what’s included at each membership level. If you’d like access to everything, you can join: 🎻 Premium – Unlock all courses and materials 🎻 VIP – All courses + weekly live classes + replays Or you can purchase most of the courses for a one time fee. As always, feel free to ask any questions. Excited for you to dig in!

I love posting in here. A few days ago I posted a video of a little etude I wrote on a blues for myself over a blues. Ok, then what? 1. @Viktor Houf posted in comments his version! 2.Because I posted about what I was going to do with the etude for myself, I actually followed through and at every given opportunity with my violin I’ve been practicing it in 4 different keys. 3. il probably use this etude in my practise club for the next few weeks on Monday and really dig into it with everyone.
