How to Use These Videos
Don’t just watch these passively. As you work through each one, keep the intonation and ear-training principles from this course in mind. Notice how the players land their bends, how much vibrato they use, and how bending serves the phrasing rather than just being a technical event. These are models to inform your own practise — not to copy note for note, but to absorb sound and feel.
