Hi everyone, here I am dealing with a technical issue that is taking sometime to be worked in, finger flexibility. I started with this exercise a few days ago. In my experience it's been a bit ugly because the pencil would slip through my fingers lol. But I'm doing what I can to improve and get a warm smooth sound from my violin 
There's nothing better than a cold beer and the warm soothing sound of a violin.

Great video Juan! Still working on that too, especially with my thumb. Any advice about that?
I would like to add this to your advice: watch closely the back of your hand/wrist. We are looking for a flat and relaxed surface instead of a tense and higher position. You don't want to gain the "motorcycle hand" habit like I did after my hiatus :/

Keep doing it with the pencil and it'll come with your bow as well.
Like the "Field of Dreams" movie. If you build it, they will come. LOL

Neat how the lighting changes as you move the pencil.. LOL
But seriously, it just takes some time. Most people's hands/fingers just aren't used to the movements at first. I think you are on the right track and it will come.
