Thank you all for the warm welcome. Motivation is not a problem to find, its getting the fiddle out of my hands to let them rest a bit. It's a Mendini by Cecilio, I figured it was best to learn on a less costly violin for now just in case I didn't take to it, for once I'm glad i was way wrong. Soon as i can I'm planning to get my hands on a more quality instrument. So far I'm extremely pleased with my progress over a short period of time not having a teacher to guide me face to face. I spend as much time as i can into watching videos and reading what i can find online. Hopes are high and friends already want to jam out as soon as possible.
