"What page #s are you specifically referring to? (I don't have a copy, but when I go to the violin shop, I'm curious enough to look for it)
Thanks,
Kevin"
"Julius C,
I like UR violin... awesome. Whoever played the vid clip, I like... great playing."
"Caitlin, it depends on the *sound* that you are after. I've noticed most electric violins (semi-solid or solid) have a character that sounds like a violin, but it does not sound like an *acoustic* violin. My electric sounds great thru an…"
"▲ UpDate!▲
Now, I'm home practicing. Working w/all the bowing ideas presented above.
☺ As a side note, Laurel, my copy does not indicate the trill in meas 10 at the dotted-1/8th. I like it tho. I've also tried the 2nd position idea…"
"Laurel and Ashley,
Thank you for the advice and tips. I will certainly use the open D string @ bar 11. ▲ Laurel, I'll also try the 2nd position idea, that I obviously had not thought of before. ▲ Ashley, what are "stopped…"
Ashley Wright replied to Kevin Robinson's discussion Pachelbel's Canon, suggestions on playing, please... in the group Violinists"A way to practice how to distribute your bow is to practice with stopped slurs. It'll cut your practice time way down!!! It'll quickly teach your muscles just how much bow each note should get.
I agree with Laurel about the…"
Laurel Thomsen replied to Kevin Robinson's discussion Pachelbel's Canon, suggestions on playing, please... in the group Violinists"Hey Kevin,
For measure 10-11 why don't you just stay in 1st position and play an open D on route to the C# followed by a 4th finger A on the D string? I don't feel there's any problem with playing the open string. Using it will help…"

Pachelbel's Canon, suggestions on playing, please...
Attached is image 1 (of 2) of Pachelbel's Canon N D, bars 10, 11. Since I'm a nonTrained violinist, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on best way to play, or at least, hints on better ways to play? Could also be a good discussion point among several, because I know we have our different ways of playing. For perspective,• these are small screenshots from one of the "free & legal sheet music sites."• I'm playing this in a wedding in June, the only traditional wedding song of the…See More
"First: MERRY CHRISTMAS all you electric fiddlers!
I'm a little saddened...well, actually a medium saddened that Zeta music has gone out of business. A goodbye note on the their site woulda been nice/with some add'l comments about where to…"
"Also wanted to add: sorry it took so long to reply: For some reason, I did not get an email notification that my first response had been answered."
"OK, now I know what you mean about the hornet's can. I had tested out the Strados b4 I eventually purchased the Zeta Jazz Fusion. They were 2 different animals, and I liked the fusion for its overall smoothness and playability over the Strados.…"
"By hornets in a can, do you mean, "tinny" sounding... like way 2 much treble and scraping?"
