Forcing Davie to play the violin is one thing, but forcing him to smile is a whole another level.
Around 1:23 is the most cursed image I've ever seen
Plot twist he actually enjoyed playing violin.

Davie trying to stay in character and play awful violin has me in tears.
Same here😢
@@michilvrsxhe did pretty good
I feel so vindicated by the fact that Davie also does that brief, disappointed blink and small head shake when he messes up a little on something he knows he knows he can pull off, I do it all the frickin time lmao
That's the universal "I fucked up" 😂😂😂
Ahah I do the same !!
I love this. It’s supposed to be acting, but I can see Davie genuinely enjoying himself and it’s very wholesome.
No replies nice
Reply 2
I think it's not completely acting, the poker face is part of his personality
It makes me so fucking happy I love Davie
Yeah, it's like the first time I see him smile!
It's so weird hearing Davie504 speak without his usual editing, he's a lot more soft spoken than expected
Trueee
I dunno, maybe the mic is not near enough?
@@RichardHowin Davie not just tall his necc tall too
He lackin some bass
And he smiles also!!!
Davie being held hostage by 2 dudes who are half his size is just too funny 🤣
2×0.5=1
lmao ikr
There is a double standard. When I SLAPP bass, everybody is grooving, but when I SLAPP the violin, everybody freaks out and tries to pry it out of my hands.
🤣. Try slapping a cello. It sounds so good

Yeah and when I tried to fire a violin using my bow from my bow and arrow everyone freaks out?!?!
@@jesuslovesyou2616 Jesus went out like a bitch
The three of them playing together sounded surprisingly similar to a single bagpipe
Thank you, this made me belly laugh
Best comment ahahahahahah
ikr, this needs more likes
i think it’s because Davie is playing ever so slightly out of tune; when his playing is stacked onto Brett and Eddy’s playing, the slightly contrasted pitches create a sort of “shimmery” effect
I was thinking the same thing! LOL!!!🤣
This is actually just davie showing us he can actually smile
.

Holy smokes!!! I did not expect such many likes! So im guessing a lot of us are waayy too thrilled to see Davie finally break out of his character 😆
When he laughed I was like "wait he can DO that?"
@@j.p.1492 LMAO samee. Really just made my day 😆 like finally we saw him breaking out of his character haha. EPIC
@@raivee8536 epico
irl smiles > totally fake main channel smiles
Thank you, Editor-san for not cutting them out 🙏
5:15 Davie almost broke down laughing- sounded like an Irish funeral for a second there
Lmao it sounded like a bagpipe the instrument that scottish and irishes play
the fact that his violin was flat the entire time but he managed to keep most of the notes in tune is remarkable
Seeing Davie smile and laugh was really kind of nice.
He rarely breaks character and when he does it normally gets edited out.
I think that’s the magic of seeing people on other channels. You’re beholden to their editing practices.
In other words, I agree. ;)
yeah we don't even see it in his channel at all, only when he's guest do we see him out of character
well, here he was forced to do it at gunpoint, so this does not count :P
It's the first time i saw davie smile and laugh. it's so epic!!
We actually do see him smile (and laugh), and specifically, in a video.
I like how they're slowly losing the seriousness and actually enjoying the time together😅
in the end, it's all about loving music and getting others into learning an instrument, i'm quite sure they all enjoy this "beef".
Exactly! So fun
Classic Stockholm syndrome
@Freederth Wuachurra yum beef
All we need now is joe jenkins hecking into both of their channels and teaching them piano
It’s so heartening to see Davie trying his best. Totally shifted my perception of him.
Jesus Christ died for your ssinssssssss
It's easy to forget that his entire persona on his own videos is completely artificial. The entire thing is crafted, it's funny as heck, but I agree it was nice to see below it

@@jesuslovesyou2616 wow god is dead?
lmao what did you think of him hahah
Nothing beats the magic of that moment you play an new instrument and it makes a sound like it's supposed to. I got to feel that again watching Davie play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
I like how Davie looks like he's trying not to laugh, then finally gives up.
Yeah 😭🤣🤣😭🤣🤣
Bro just gave up
It must have been so hard not to break out of character especially for Davie lmao, i was already losing it even before the camera got into Davie's height
But HE SMILED...
several times!!!
@@rsviolin1984 ikr haha
Davie's head being outside the frame in the beginning is killing me lmaoo. Just a lone tree standing there
Its so epic how genuine davie was in his attempt to actually learn. You can tell he actually had a lot of fun making this video, probably more than teaching them the bass.
I often feel people forget Davie plays a character on his channel, he was very genuine here. He wasn't playing character because he was being held at gunpoint.
I was feeling wholesome reading the first half of the comment and the second half made me laugh 😂
*holy music stops*
You had me on the first half, not gonna lie
You were correct. Did you watch his new video featuring Violin-chan that was uploaded a day ago?
Three music nerds being friendly to on another and dropping the fake hostage situation is really satisfying to watch
even though it's a funny "situation", it's so nice to see them breaking character and showing that they're having fun :)
This is all very tsundere
Fake i tought it was real
We know they all know music theory perfectly, but the muscle skills are quite different. I'm sure Davie could learn violin and TwoSet could learn the bass really well if it was their instrument of choice.
Jesus Christ died for your ssinssssssss
honestly, what did you expect when you're teaching an itallian man to play an italian instrument?
fun fact: upright bass was invented in Italy
@@Plotani 顾好石头品牌连锁
Lol xd
@@Plotani cool fact
Hola amigos
I play violin and bass guitar both and I can say, that both this instruments are very cool and have their own advantages. BUT I think that violin is harder to start learning, because it's not too easy to make cool sound from it, and play correct notes. And bass is harder to learn when you already learn basics, but you want to play some harder things, and use different techniques
Oh definitely. I play both as well. I took 6 years of private violin lessons and have been teaching myself the bass with occasional college lessons for 2 years. The bass was very natural for me to pick up whereas the violin I still struggle in many areas.
My first instrument was the piano, which really doesn't help me with either. I also think the bass is was more fun. The violin is a beautiful instrument made for classical music, but you can have so much fun with rock, jazz, metal, funk, and really any genre of the bass
@@ssimms8995 seems like somebody'd not heard of David Garret, Lindsey Stirling, and Ulytau
why play violin *and* bass, and not just play double bass :p
Davie looks like a kindergarten teacher that's done with his two naughty students that are pretending to be his teachers.
That’s his expression all the time 😅
are buttsticks involved?
If height had a word maybe...
Jk
I like how Davie's real personality kinda shows here, how he's a shy but nice and polite person.
f
umm yea kinda!
damn he a human fr 😩
Though he did call the ukulele weak or very weak
I think most people are nice and polite while being threatened by a gun
I'll bet Davie would be able to hit 10ths like nothing on the violin.
Those fingers look insane...
Coming back I can't believe they actually met in person and all. These guys really are EPIC, all three.
Davie is a giant Italian bass master I respect that

You can literally see how Davie physically hates to make a mistake, no wonder he’s the best at bass.

Hello I was a classically trained violinist and now playing electric bass and loving it.
First I want to say this was hella funny! I love both of y'alls channels and thanks for the content! It brings me joy :)
Second, how are you not putting the fingerboard tape for Davie since he's a beginner?! LOL Everyone who starts off playing violin gets the fingerboard tape.
My teacher wouldn’t give me tapes and I’m doing fine.
Also no tapes for me ... previous Piano and choir experience... Can hear intervals well enough....
I used a snark instead of tape and that's way better in my opinion. It helps learn notes better.
I think that the teaching by gun point is both ethical and extremely effective!
Thats how everyone should teach!
@@isola-- YOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@isola-- Americans probably used that technique already
@@marsdoodles2.0 *gun*
@@marsdoodles2.0 No, we don't, we've moved past that and now we offer free health care if they can master the instrument, if not, we break their legs. Simple, but effective.
imagine if twoset and davie started a music cinematic universe where they would go learn all musical instrument and collect allies as they go and at the finale they played an original composition for all of the instruments
It's like the Infinity Gauntlets, but with instruments. When they get all of them, they play an orchestra.
@@41tinman41 like a band
The final boss should be Jaime Altozano

8:06 oh wow THEY FORGOT TO SAVE VIOLIN CHAN AND THEY DIDNT REALIZE
You can see how hard it is for Davie to stay in character Lolol I am real glad they enjoyed their collab
Probably because the video isn’t edited as much as he does it in his own channel, cause you see how many edits he has in them, right? But I love when they’re not heavily edited💀
@@mob2393 yup! It's nice to see a lil bit more of the real Davie, although his persona is cool, too
i wonder who could possibly teach these guys piano
Omg yes
😳
They do play piano quite well
easy get a gun
Lol that would be awesome. Now I commented on your comment on this video and the Davie504 one.
Davie and Twoset is the collab I never knew I needed XD
I follow both of these channels and this was a highlight of my day! You guys are all awesome! :)
Jokes aside Davie actually took to this extremely quickly he knew how to correct on mistakes, asked a genuine question that helped and played bloody well for a person with I believe no prior knowledge
Ikr
I mean, he is a proficient musician after all and knows how to play fretless bass as well. So the concept of not having frets is something he is accustomed to. Also fingering is important in bass playing, so the transition to violin is not that hard.
Of course playing a new instrument comes with all its own difficulties, but being a good player on a different instrument helps a lot, especially when they come from a similar family. And I would group bass and violin in a similar family, both string instruments, both (usually) 4 strings, left hand does the fingering. Closer than for example marimbaphone and trumpet.
@@Dethleffff The violin and the bass both have the same strings, just in reverse order and obviously several octaves apart from each other!
@@Dethleffff you ever played violin?? The only thing bass like that i would compare it to is double bass or cello, double bass for the fretless and cello for the use of a bow. Other than that bass guitar and violin have bugger all similarities besides being fretless.
@@keith221191 I am a guitar player and fooled around with a violin only once. The major difficulty was the bow and the way one holds the violin, not the left hand fingering. At least for complete beginner purpose the knowledge about where notes are on the guitar and where they are on the violin translates good enough, since the relative spacing is the same on both instruments. If you want to play a D on the A string, it is roughly one quarter down on the string and you probably won't use your index finger to shift that far up. Also you can just slide into the correct pitch if you are off. And having musical experience really helps to figure out a) if you are off and b) where you have to slide. Of course I am only talking about absolute beginner stuff, but this is what this video is all about.
I am not saying playing violin is easy, when you know how to play bass. I say, learning to play violin is easier, when you know how to play another stringed instrument that shares the overall shape.
I love how hard Davie is trying not to laugh

Standing next to Davie must feel like standing next to the Colossal Titan. I'm shorter than Brett, if Davie extended one arm, I could walk below it without hitting it with my head 🤣
this is actually so wholesome to watch Davie and TwoSet interacting through each other's instrument. Davie always acts so tough and all but he's a cool guy here, and not to forget that his first violin session is pretty damn impressive.
That's true. So right hand was so fucking horrible to learn. And when you got it and do the other one... it gets worse
since when does davie act tough I get he’s a chad bass player but he’s a damn sweetheart
You can say that Davie's take on the violin is _very impressive._
if you watch his 'real personality' blooper videos, you can tell that his tough act is just his davie504 persona meant for entertainment. there is a lot of wholesome content in his girlfriend's channel that basically shows how he acts in real life.
Ah yep agreed, I like their relationship

He's actually not that bad for a complete beginner
Better than most
I think that he could be the next paganini, given his talent, the way he manages the bass and his long fingers. 👀
@@NunoLeitaonunogrl Bassonini
Musician so he understand strings, fingering and has practiced hearing so he corrects the position of his fingers as he goes. Still sounds terrible but better than a beginner that never played any instrument, especially string instrument
Well, he's a very good player and knows tons about music in general, also plays a distant relative instrument (string based), so many concepts are totally familiar to him. Tuning for example, they only had to tell him which it is, w/o explaining what a tuning means as you would to a complete beginner. Dave has to adapt from a perfect-fourths to a perfect-fifths tuning, but it's a minor adjustment overall (for sure other adjustements are more challenging).
Also, Dave has extremely good finger coordination in the left hand (and right one of course but brobably that plays a different role in a violin), vastly superior to that of a beginner. The hand positioning is different, but finger control translates almost perfectly.
Dave plays fretless bass, too, so the lack of frets isn't disturbing him at all, and he's totally familiar with the concept of positioning to get different semi-tones.
I think he struggle mostly with the bow. Probably you'd find him good at plucking, as his right hand coordination translates almost perfectly at that.
Even piano players wouldn't be total beginners, but while they may understand the idea of tuning, they don't have a direct practical knowledge of the relationship between strings, as a guitar/bass player does. They have good hand coordination but not in the same movements. Also the note distribution is very different. I imagine they'd struggle more, but they'd still be far ahead compared to total beginners.
And last but not least, some people are just talented af. Dave is one of them for sure.

A tremendous story arc. Just a trio of passionate and talented musicians teaching each other very different instruments
Not that different actually ahah, even very similar
@@MJ-nf4uz violin and bass guitar aren’t rlly that similar lol
@@sentientdonuts as both instrument player I have to say that it is, it's very easy to handle bass from violin. It would be way harder to go from violin to saxophone for exemple
@@MJ-nf4uz personally, knowledge/muscle memory for guitar didn't translate even slightly for violin. Cello/double bass helped much more. Picking and bowing are just too different, and require vastly different techniques. ofc tho theres more similarities between 2 string instruments than between a string instrument and a brass. But within their specific class, guitar n violin dont have too much overlap
@@sentientdonuts ye guitar is way much different, but this is bass, same number of strings, same technic: plucking, I dont see much main difference, it s just less hard because of the frets

I made a mistake...
Why I suddenly want to cry when I get to 6:14-7:00
Brett and Eddy were both looking at Davie and sorta encouraging him while accompanying him and Brett gave hints whenever there are somewhat hard changes. This is beautiful!!

@@candycorndandy2293 yeah lol Probably lost in music and forgot about everything hhh
@@simplytwosetter yeah man. davie still has violin chan.
This just goes to show how some musical knowledge (you might call it musical intuition) can translate between instruments. Once Davie knew what the open strings were, he could guesstimate the other notes by shortening the strings until it matched the pitch he was audiating, even if he didn't know the actual fingerings.
I think that comes quite natural to most string players. After watching it I was thinking to myself that I actually was in simillar position few years back (playing mostly bass and guitar) and got hands on the violin. It was kind of intuitive where the sounds are... more for my fingers than for my brain :D
It's a matter of proportion, probably. Theoretically, half the length is one octave up, and the proportion should be the same for all stringed instruments (Physics!) so you can roughly estimate
2:14 Bro Davie smiled here that's just omg that's so adorable 😩🥰
2:46 THERE IT IS AGAIN! OMG I'M GONNA DIE 😭🥺
I love the way they got together then and in 2022/3.
