What causes me the most physical pain is the way he's the holding the bow, becuase you're supposed to do a bunch of specific finger posture stuff, but what does it matter?
Not just violinists, as a cello player I'm scared of what he's doing with that bow hold-

How to trigger violinists 101
I know the way he was holding it made me wanna die
tbh I'm not as triggered as I thought I was gonna be.
Edit: nvm this triggered me a lot. Especially the part when he started putting the rosin on hi bow smhhh. Lol video's still cool tho.
@@bromommalama9636 and the fact he didn't tighten the bow's wick rrrrr (not sure how to say it in english)

Frog and tighten the bow
As a professional violinist, I’m glad other strings players have pointed out the importance of using good rosin and tightening the bow. Keeping the hair AND strings free of oils will also provide the most “grab”. If you’re even remotely serious about going “arco,” it may be worth investing in a fiberglass bow from a reputable manufacturer. Having one that can withstand a little rough treatment will make experimentation a lot more enjoyable. Have fun, everyone!
5:20 on is such an amazing sound. I'd love to hear more modern artists get creative with stuff like this.
*THX opening sound*
Finger tip attachments, with mini bows for hybrid finger picking and bowing.
Reminds me of the drones that Godspeed you Black Emperor uses in their songs
I suggest you listen to a band called malice mizer they use sounds kinda like this in some of their songs
Sounds like Sigur Ros
Dude, I'm pretty sure you have to hold the guitar under your chin.

Violinist: THERES NO ROSIN
Me a guitarist: Who's this Rosin girl?
czcams.com/users/theonlinepianotutor
I am both the violinist and the guitarist 😔💀💀
I was gonna say this cos I used to play violin but I saw this and I'm happy someone agrees
I was at first I was like oh hey he's doing violin bow. Then I was like hey where's the rosin? XD
Gaming Princess Luna i dont play any instrument at all lmao so what is Rosin? Edit: nvm figured it out
Violinists: No!
Guitarists: Yeah!
Me (guitarist and violinist): Yesn't
4:34 the way you built that up was so beautiful

I very much appreciate that guy not hiding his mistakes even though it felt like sitting through hemorrhoids at the beginning.
The best way to produce music is by expanding your curiosity to the far reaches of the universe, follow your instincts and don't follow the crowd.
You too? Whew, I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets CZcams rrhoids, from time to time. 😉
Sitting through 😂🤣
Is THAT what hemorrhoids sound like?
God damn
We all sat through those hemorrhoids at some point in our lives, it's relatable
My first thought was: “Use rosin!”
My second thought was: “Tighten the bow!”
Kevin791 ikr
same, and I've never even played anything with a bow
My 3rd thought was "Scratch up the Rosin with a key before trying to use it on your bow". I'm not even a string player and this video hurt to watch.
Fabulous Killjoy twoset fan boi I see
@@poiiiiiiiiiii3049 yep
You need to scratch up the rosin a bit with a key or coin, then start applying a bunch since it's a brand new bow. I play cello though, so there could be a difference in the amount of rosin needed to get good friction. What I do know though is that you need to tighten up that bow a bit. The horse hairs shouldn't be able to touch the wood when you just lay the middle of the bow on the strings. For reference, the middle of the bow's distance between the horse hairs and the wood should be about half the distance of the end of the bow's horse hairs and wood. Loosen the bow when you're done with it because it will slowly tighten over time, and you kinda need the bow to keeps its curvature and horse hairs.
You're dang right, then you can wear down that rosin until it's bare nothing 🤣
In 4th grade I played violin because our school made us play band, but I forgot to loosen the bow after I was done practicing one night, and it was completely broken when I opened it up the next day, like the horse hair got cut or pulled out the end or something,
Moral of the story: dont play violin
@@professored7169 Did they just have a mixed music class? A young violinist would be either privately trained or in an orchestra class, and the Violin isn't too bad if you have a thing for music and a challenge. I personally didn't like having all the noises right in my ear, and preferred the larger variety of notes on the Cello. Plus, how tight did you have that poor bow?! A bow at the tightness it should be when played shouldn't be able to tighten to the point of breaking over night. I'm pretty sure though that the band teacher didn't explain that to you.
Have you ever heard a group of new violinist trying to play a new sheet of music? I swear to God that it sounds like a swarm of bees! 😂
@@ezrathing ya we had one teacher teaching a class of kids and told us to practice at home so ya the bow was probably to tight, I didnt like it either so in 5th grade I chose cello and it was cool, no broken bows, but chose trumpet for 6th and hated it, I play guitar now tho but rob scallon makes the cello look fun he plays it so unconventional
Hahaha I've also noticed that you don't have to scratch your rosin to get it to stick, if you have to scratch it you should get a different cake
Watching this as a violist was funny as hell, especially the first half, but then I realized that I play a dumb instrument and had an existential crisis.
The violinists: DiSgUsTaNg!
The guitarists: ooooooh-
Me, who is both: _something's wrong here. I can feel it._
Me who has never played an instrument: That's pretty neat!
Something very very wrong
I just got my very own violin but am not really "new" to violin?? And I've had my guitar for quite a few years, so I feel you.

Blu Blu i agree man...
When your strings are totally caked with rosin, scrape it off with a penny. The copper on the penny is soft enough that it will not damage the strings.

i'm a cello player and i didn't know that thanks for the tip!!!

thanks for clarifying that it must be a copper coin as it differs from currency to currency
Thank you for the tip!! I've had a problem with that so this will really help!
Phoenix8492 I'm a 1 month cello player
Being someone who plays the Violin. When you weren't getting any sound i was like... "He needs rosin" and as soon as you figured that out i was chuckling a bit! I just might blow some dust off my old violin and play a bit causally.
I'm a violin maker, and also do concert harps, steel guitars, and electric contra double bass. My recommendation is to put a curved bridge on the guitar, then you can play individual notes! I am about to build a guitar that has no frets, curved finger board, and curved bridge!!!
Got a video playing that? Been pondering the idea myself
👍 Brilliant! 😃
I think that success though depends not on your creation, but on whether a suitable bow hold and stroke is possible with it! - as a violin maker I guess you already know that. Maybe get two people to play it? 😁
I would seriously love to see what happens if someone fully dove in on the bow+guitar style, it sounds rad af and i want more
Sigur Ros?
Yeah check out Jónsi in Sigur Rós
Vancouver Sleep Clinic. Discovered them when they opened for Aurora and the guitarist used the bow+guitar. First time I'd ever seen it.
A guitar plus a bow.. Hmm, I guess you can call them cellos. Add a mike and pedals and you have the same thing.
Alejandro Lobos Kunstmann Even with a mic* it wouldn’t be the same, an acoustic within a mic isn’t the same as an electric
To every current and former violinist: he starts using rosin at 3:00
You deserve a medal. I don't know what kind of medal, but you deserve it. Now that I think about, what kind of medal would you deserve? It would have to be a specific type of medal, not just a 1st place. What kind of medal do you want? Are you allergic to the metal that the medal is made of? In other words, the metal medal made of metal. Are you able to receive said medal? Do we have to deliver it to you? Do you have legs? Will your neck fit around the medal? There's just so many variables. Do you even want a medal? What if you don't want a medal? Oh no. Oh God. You won't want the medal. Oh God. What is my purpose in life if I can't give this stranger on the internet a medal? Oh God. Nooooooo!

@YMC-DAB420 bruh. What an interesting word. Its meaning is so....convuluted. blahh blah blah balh haha long comment me funny
Soren Farley THANK YOU
That was badass. Sounded like something out of a fever dream.
I did the exact same thing today: bought a violin bow and tried to play my guitar, getting no sound at all and making the exact same face you did at 1:13!
I then googled "violin bow electric guitar" and found your video. Thanks!
"Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard"
This makes so much more sense now that I know what rosin is...
I though the same thing when he pulled the bow out of the box lol
Somebody should play that on the guitar with a bow lol

Jeez, I was going to comment that and immediately I saw your comment. That's an eerie coincidence
Puppy dog 1909 Fainting goat
since you don't know, it's called rosin--
I would totally listen to that in Minecraft 😂
dude i would like your comment but its at 420 rn
That's actually how it's made
My sister plays violin and also has an electric guitar. I play the cello. I think this is a cool video and I also think my sister would like it.
On the other hand, watching and listening to you attempt to play the guitar with an un-rosined bow is EXTREMELY INFURIATING!
Everyone else is saying how this was triggering or wrong, but I just sit here enjoying the unique sounds and how you made two different things come together.
20+ year violinist here. This was hilarious 😂. When he said he bought a new bow i knew right away where it was going.
Edit: he should probably rosin that thing even more. You basically want the bow to be crop dusting the hell out of your pickup. Make sure you get the WHOLE bow as well, not just the mid section, get in there near the bottom and the top. Rosin is what drives the friction to make vibrationon on the strings. As you know, an acoustic reverberates that sound in a cavity amplifying it. An electric takes that vibration and converts it into an electrical signal using magnetic fields and air pressure changes caused by vibration. Either way the more solid the reverberation the stronger the sound. So rosin well to get solid sound. There's no such thing as over rosining but there sure as hell is such thing as weak sounding notes from under rosined bows. Good luck and have fun everybody!
Mikerphone Why am I the only one who has liked this, this comment is helpful and informative, thanks mate.
@@felicitymiller5049 Np, if that helped i also saw someone else mentioning tightness of the bow, and this was the advice i offered them:
You'll snap the hairs if the bow is too tight. The bow should still have a bit of a curve to it. My rule of thumb or pinky rather, is that you take the tip of your pinky and it should slot into the bottom 1/3 section of the bow just fine. Too little not tight enough, too much space and its over tight. Tightness is not what creates sound rosin is. The bow should be taut so that there is no slack in the hairs, but not tightened to the point where the hairs are being stretched. That creates weak fibers over time. When over tightened the friction from the strings will act like a knife cutting a stretched rope vs a slacked one. Always losen your bow to lightly slacked to protect your hairs and its shape after playing. And rosin rosin rosin, it helps with sound and protects the hair from snapping on strings. Which is natural. It will happen from time to time, but protective measures will lessen those occurrences. So remeber, taut but not stretched.
Have a good one and stay safe!
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try that
@Timothy McCaskey Yes and yes. Synthetic bows are 💩
Is it like chalk on a pool cue? No such thing as too much :)

Johnny Wiebe if you actually watched the video, you would know
@@MRJ52 it's a block of resin that musicians with bowed instruments use to rub against the hair of their bow so their instrument can produce sound.
@@longschlongsilver7628 Thank you!
watching you improvise with a whole new element being added to your skill is so fuckin cool
So you figured out how to make a guitar sound like a bagpipe! Genius :)
I love how you did zero research before doing this. Some might find it to seem like you're unprepared but I really find it endearing... or maybe it just seems like something that I would do.
I'm impressed with the work he did as a guitarist but the fact that he didn't even bother to get rosin makes me really want to see a second video.
@@RCHobbyist463 He did use it later on in this video.
The Devil opened up his case and said "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made a evil hiss,
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded somethin' like this...
Okay you got to like from me not many people actually know that reference
Devil went down to Georgia reference?
Alastair Archibald solid reference. Especially for rosin on the bow.
Kind of like “Rosin the Bow”/“Old Rosin the Beau” (an old folk song)
This is the perfect response lol
Yaaaaaaaaas
Nice vid! Just an idea, a bow that might work well for this use might be a design similar to a double bass bow, (just not as big,) that uses a tensioner strap, connected to the grip end of the stick, and hair, and is held in the hand with the thumb and index holding the stick, the strap in hand, and the pinky end of the hand controls the amount of tension on the hair. That way, you can vary the tension for additional effects. Try looking on YT about the use of Iranian Kamancheh bows, and how they vary tension for effects.
I was thinking a base bow would work better with the way he's holding it too
Even before the rosin was added, every sound was awesome and beautiful. It was amazing...
me, a violinist: wtf man you’re gonna ruin the bow!
me, a guitarist: lmao
Medium price range, 70$
* *Laughs in Violonist* *
No kidding. Medium price range for a bow is $400-1000.
Right
@@jimtrouten7529 don’t remind me
@jim trouten You could buy a PRS for that much!
@@jimtrouten7529 you jackasses pay that much for wood and horse hair? Imagine how many people would get into violin and other classical instruments if they weren’t needlessly expensive.
Btw if you’re going to try to justify that price point, don’t bother, nothing could justify it. Even with the most exotic wood and hair from the finest purebred stallions that is still ridiculous. Frankly they just mark up the price because people who get into classical instruments more often than not come from money.
As a guitar player and someone who recently started playing fiddle this had me rolling. 🤣 great stuff man
I love that you still posted this even after the rosin incident. Respect man!

Around a medium range, of 70 dollars.
If he thinks that $70 for a violin bow is mid-range, he is in for a huge shock.
My neighbor has a violin, made in Italy around 1880. She got it as a gift from her father years ago. She said he paid $12,000
Are you a violinist?
Exactly my thought. My former cello teacher's bow was worth as much as my cello AND bow together. :D And that is not even the most expensive one.
@@korhad I have a middle-range, utility, but nice cello bow and it's $2000. To get a really nice... I'd call mine mid-range... but a $70 bow to bow a guitar is probably a good idea...

Heck, tip: take a piece of sandpaper and scratch up the surface of the rosin so it gets all powdery and gets in the bow hair better. Also, as some other people have said, rosin the entire bow so you can use the whole thing on the guitar. Also also, yes, tighten, and do remember to loosen when you're done.
Also, info: Rosin's basically just tree sap. It's why it looks like amber, and it's why it's sticky and creates that friction with the strings.
The bow on the guitar sounded hella cool though. I should look into messing around with that myself lmao
I always used a key to scratch up my rosin. Anything works really.
100%
And I can confirm it's a lot of fun to jam guitar with a bow. It just changes things up, it's like playing on a different instrument, it puts you in a slightly different head-space.
when in elementary school we always get some education that guitar played with pick while violin or viola use bow

Yeah because compression and gain have to do with guitar and he’s a guitar player. Rosin isn’t something he’d normally use for guitar so it’s not that interesting, funny, unique or surprising
Literally never heard that bows needed something called “rosin” before you could play them
@@evanr5871 They don't "need" rosin per se, but it makes the bow tacky enough to catch the string and vibrate it (as opposed to just gliding across it). You only need to rosin every once in a while, but then again I was the lazy cellist.

@@jackuvall8061 faxs
In 1998, I had the treat of hearing this effect three times in close succession, including at a Page/Plant reunion concert at Dallas' appropriately named Reunion Arena, touring for their album "Walking into Clarksdale." Page played it doing Zepellin's "How Many More Times." David J's Bauhaus did it playing "Hollow Hills" at the Bronco Bowl less than a week earlier. And, my wife and I saw Cirque du Soleil's "Quidam," which featured the effect by a musician during one of their acts. As a kid in the 80s, I loved hearing it in Whitesnake's "Still of the Night." For more than a decade, that was my top favorite song, largely because of its extended guitar solo with this effect in the middle.
4:04 gives me heavy "Half-Life [Music] - Electric Guitar Ambiance" vibes...

Lol. This was done by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page years ago. Check out the song Dazed and Confused. See how it's done in the Song Remains the Same video. Whole Lotta Love will show how a theremin is used in rock and roll as well. Not new sounds, rehashes at best.

The sound of the bow With ROSIN - is gorgeous, ethereal, and a bit spooky. Well done. Except don’t forget the rosin.
This is how you learn something new. Experimenting, making mistakes, doing everything wrong ... until you somehow miraculously get the hang of it by sticking to it and then you blossom like a flower.
3:50 is the sound of when a metal head dies and goes to rock heaven
I can picture this exact scenario in my mind. A metal head ascends through some clouds as a guitar descends into his/her hands. The guitar pick gravitates towards them before being tightly gripped between the metal head’s fingers. Then, outta nowhere, they just start jammin’ like a god/goddess.

I found out how not unlike a guitar it was in its basic properties... right down to it using thin steel strings, tuning pegs on the violin... so it doesn't surprise me when you rosin'd up the bow, you applied to the steel strings of the guitar it would work... it would particularly sound better on the thinner strings like the B and high e string
That was very powerful when he started really playing it. I have never seen or herd anything like it before.
As a violinist and guitarist this was a tiny bit painful to watch.
Ok maybe very painful haha :)
...using the bow without first applying any rosin, ROSUM? WHATS THAT! lol
@@leemaples1806 correct me if I'm wrong, but it looked like he never tightened it either
Violist here. I agree 👍
Vivaldi is a guitarist? Good to know. Lol
Glad im not the only one. First thought rosin the bow!!!
As a drummer, all of this really didn’t affect me
James Bond exactly the same
Lol😆
As a drummer and a guitarist I wanna die
"Yo, lube your sticks or I won't make dum dum"
Yes, that's because you haven't yet introduced a bow into your drumming, duh.
I always knew Rosin as the powder baseball pitchers would use to absorb moisture, so it's pretty cool to see another use for it
That really sounds neat
