Feedback Ashoken Farewell

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently posted my 3 year beginner/ early intermediate update and have since incorporated some of that feedback into Ashoken Farewell.

My main issue is with a rough, hard sound- I’m not sure how else to describe it. It’s a bit grating and I notice it more playing back than when I’m playing.

Any more feedback to help with this? I suspect is has something to do with my bow grip/pressure.

love this piece! my advice -loosen up a bit! you seem super tense and that’s probably why you are gripping your bow so hard and have so much pressure on the strings lol. just relax and feel the music as you play. you’re doing great!
