      KewlDude Are you asking me?

    • @botdog370
      @botdog370 Před 7 lety

      Javon Jackson No I was saying that bass's can actually hit a pretty high note if you're skilled at bass.

    when i first saw this 3 years ago I thought it was the hardest piece i've ever heard... sounds a lot easier now..

    I always watch this video daily. I'm not a pro, I just play with my school. But when I watch his videos it always motivates me to practice and be good like that. I know it's impossible because he's a GENIUS, but let me tell you how hard it is to play like that. Every time you go into higher positions, your fingers need to be VERY accurate in order for it to be in tune. And these guys are owning it like it's no big deal. Nathan, I hope you'll be as famous as Yo-Yo Ma because your AMAZING!

    This is so bad ass. Cellos are really awesome. They are such beautiful instruments.

  • @EternalDestiny48
    @EternalDestiny48 Před 4 lety +2

    Unbelievable.. I keep watching it over and over.. They have complete mastery of every note and the little variations add so much to the song.. The solo and the rhythm sections of Nathan are phenomenal. She never misses a single note either.. Wow

    Nathan, keep loving music and doing this. We need more young people like you celebrating classical (and pop) music through refreshing ways. Good job! Keep humble, have fun, and keep improving!

    @crazy-4-cooking Před 11 lety +1

    Wow, the disharmonic beginning just blew me away. It sounds so cool and really fits. You really have to know what you are doing to try sth out like this and make it sound brilliant. And that at the little age of just sweet sixteen. Just amazing.

    Ive always wondered what people in the 16th century would think if they herd this song or most instrumental music now in days. Can you imagine what would happen if John Williams or Hans Zimmer went back in time and played their songs for the masses.They would all probably drop dead from the sheer power of some of their songs.
