What’s the One Technique That Took You Years to Crack?

We all have that one technique that haunted us longer than we’d like to admit...
🎻 Maybe it was spiccato that just wouldn’t bounce?
🎼 A shifting motion that never quite landed?
🎵 Vibrato that stayed tight and tense for years?
This week’s discussion is a bit of a shared therapy session:
👉 What’s the one technical element on your instrument that took you years to get right—or that you’re still wrestling with?
We’d love to hear:
- What the technique was
- What finally helped you unlock it (if you did!)
- Any advice you’d offer someone struggling with it now
It’s always reassuring to remember:
⏳ Progress isn’t always fast—but it’s always worth it.
