    So is music. When you're a musician, you get really into your music. Just creating and playing it will give you a high like no other.

    His violin sounds beautiful and the way he get passionate about the music evolving in his hands makes it majestic.

    This dude was amazing. Picked up the violin like 3 weeks ago, and haven't regretted nothing.

    Tomllling I'm a professional violinist, Ive been playing for over two decades and something I've noticed is that usually the better someone is the more eccentric they are. This is some of the best playing I've seen, so who cares if he's completely nuts! He's amazing at what he does!

  • @Sardonicus
    @Sardonicus Před 12 lety

    He doesn't just break the rules, his violin does too. I've never seen even an electric violin like that. Man that shit is beastly.

    Saw him on 14th St. in New York I have been obsessed ever since then!

  • @SofSof.
    @SofSof. Před 11 lety +2

    He was probably forced to play violin but always wanted to become a guitarist, so he combined the two and became A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! O.O
    No, but seriously, this is insanely good :OO

  • @tungbgs

    People who can't relate to pure genius often cop out by calling it 'insane'...no, it isn't insane, it is just being able to express intense feelings on a very high level. On Independence Day, this is a great performance, you can hear all the problems & frustrations this nation has had to deal with from the very start! Bravo!

  • @MaloneyGuitars
    @MaloneyGuitars Před 12 lety

    @justbolla It sounds like he is running it through a guitar pedal board. I hear echo, reverb, distortion, flanger at 1:54, phaser after that... They don't show his feet so I can't tell if he is hitting buttons, maybe his sound man does it for him.

  • @SQUAWKasaurus

  • @zmodem
    @zmodem Před 15 lety

    At 0:12 & 0:16+0:17, you can see his distorter in the far right, amp+distort, where you can adjust how the pitch 'flow's from the violin, giving the auditory 'illusion' of an electric guitar.

  • @weewoo250
    @weewoo250 Před 16 lety

    the only thing more powerful than his music skills is the hilarity of the crazy metal-insane jig he's doing while he plays the sang

  • @Erszi36
    @Erszi36 Před 13 lety

    He is amazing!! I love the passion and heart that he puts into his performance. It's a shame that the people around him were to dull to understand artistry! Very cool to see the violin played in a "Rock" style...very cool!

  • @DarkLoveFashion

    @Charles3x7 Před 13 lety

    @2007wesman He's obviously fairly proficient on his instrument, I was just pointing out that shredding it out and making cool noises with distortion isn't as difficult as it appears. Especially in comparison to true classical tecnique, which I'm sure you can understand.
