Its been so long since i played violin, that i forgot why I was constantly frustrated with it. This past week I realized that for this project I needed to start actually getting to work and getting somewhere in terms of material. But when i recorded a violin part and played it back, I realized that i need more work for specifically intonation. Rhythm isn't difficult considering I listened to Viva La Vida over 100 times last year, but keeping my fingers in the right place at the right time is hard especially since I haven't played my violin for over two years.
Google day on Halloween turned out a little better, so I'm thinking I can get a good recording of the third part over the weekend....only that the third part is the same 4 bars repeated over, and over, and over, and over again.
As for the project in its entirety, I think this song will be the only song I play violin on. For the sake of time, and my finger tips, any other song I do will be on trumpet.
