Front is usually good - but if you are happy to play whilst standing then you can just rotate a bit to capture what you want. Here's an early video of mine, I needed a close look at my finger shape down on the G.... with the camera mounted on the fiddle itself...
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -

@Fred Normally in front. I do that so that I have a good view of my bowing arm to make sure I'm not moving my shoulder when I shouldn't and keeping my hand flexible; and my left wrist, making sure I'm keeping it straight.

@Schaick thanks. I have been journaling most everything these days. Using a bullet journal for planner and all kinds of "trackers" food, mood, and regular journal. Keeps my sanity... well that is if you think I am sane. LOL

@BillyG how did you get a camera to sit like that so you could play and not have it fall off? That would be an awesome thing for me to do as I think i'm inconsistent with how I place my fingers on the fingerboard!

@RockingLR33 - I used a small webcam (probably the Logitech C160 if I recall correctly) which was small and light and had a sort of "flip-up" plastic bracket which I suppose is there to clip on the top of a laptop screen or whatever, rather than my main camera, and just held it on to the EV via the plastic clip with some elastic bands and some packed-up kitchen roll to get the angle / height where I wanted it. It's a wee bit of messing about until it's looking right down the neck, but all set up in maybe 10 or so minutes.... fun stuff....

I find it's easiest to practice upon waking up in the morning, or later in the day but after a short nap. Being mentally alert and without physical tension are important things, and a little sleep or rest can help to prep for practice. Also a little rest between shorter practice sessions can help too (like savasana in yoga).

I used to be an early morning practicer but I progressed to late night. Then as I got older, something happened and I started going to bed early. Now I'm back to morning. Problem is that I haven't practiced in a million years.
