Better Than Paying For Lessons 
2007-08-16
If you want to stop throwing your money away on a twirpy little unhelpful, unprofessional, underfed, cocaine addicted swindler of a violin instructor who ruins your entire week in a mere half an hour and ghoulishly helps himself to your hard earned money just to pay for his own sicko addiction then this is the self-help, do-it-yourself manual you've dreamed of. This one book is pretty straight forward and has saved me hundreds of dollars on lessons. I don't even go to lessons anymore, I just teach myself and I've made great progress.
There's some pictures and diagrams as well in here to help you with fingering but be forewarned that the fingering suggested in this book might be a bit difficult for some. It all depends on how skinny (or how fat) your fingers are and how flexible those muscles inside your fingers are. If your fingers aren't that flexible try wrapping a tight rubber band around them and then trying to spread your fingers, sort of like a spider. After a week or two you'll notice a difference.
Also, for me at least it helps to use only my ring finger to play some notes (G on D string and D on A string) whereas this book suggests you use 3 (index, middle and ring). It just depends on what you're comfortable with, everyone is going to be different and some folks might enjoy the method this book gives the most. Just be aware that there are alot of different fingering techniques to use, not just the ones shown here.
Other than that this is definately self-explanitory enough for you to finish yourself without paying good money for an instructor. Good investment for anyone starting the violin.
