Shape of You - Ed Sheeran - Violin | Viola Loop Cover ft. ThatViolaKid

Recently I've been getting a lot of comments about not having enough violas in my videos, so I got together with my buddy Drew (ThatViolaKid) to bring you a violin viola cover of Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You!" Everything you hear in the video was created/processed using sounds from just our instruments, and layered in real time using the Boss RC-300 Loop Station.
Be sure to follow Drew on his social media below. He's a beast at the viola and also has a lot of tips for any musicians trying to make it in the classical music world!

Phirun gamer YT Its not gonna help if you spell his name wrong 😂

[@isortofyoutube]

This channel is the full package. Talented individuals all around, from the artists who play the instruments to the artists who have created the video. I'm super surprised you guys don't have more followers. Great job everybody! Keep up the good work. ❤️

[@ThatViolaKid]

So incredibly kind! Albert is the real deal, and we're out to create a big network of music lovers! Happy to see you're a part of the movement =)

[@izukumidoriyatheidiot6778]

+ThatViolaKid do you know how

[@ThatViolaKid]

[@joelikesthings]

I think Albert does most of the (if not all) the lighting. Also cinematography ideas. Extremely impressive!

[@emmarosesantamaria7656]

I love this channel so much. I'm in band and everyone teases me for enjoying a good orchestra peice, but good music is good music. especially when your a band kid wanting to go into classical music.

[@rainbowpig2]

I can't get over the epic improv!!! Great job to both of you!!!!! :D

[@TanishaSrivatsa1723]

Improv = great playing :D
there's actually an article on The Strad about improvisation
but that's more like cadenzas and stuff
classical improvisation

[@ThatViolaKid]

Awww thanks, Tiff! I'm sad I couldn't see you more -_-

[@Meli-1992]

The way they play gives me chills. Amazing! You can see the raw emotion while playing their instrument.

[@Witherman39]

i thought the second guy was also a violnist until i reallized that there were a lot of really deep sounds that a violin couln't get, and i also realized how big his viola actually was compared to the violin.

[@samuelnguyen9303]

This is why strings instruments are so versatile: They can be both melodic and percussive through pizzicatos, tapping on the wood, and the other various sounds and textures that can be created with the with and without the bow.
