I've never played violin in my life, but I reckon I could beat this guy's record if I was allowed to play the piece as inaccurately as he did.
No u coudn't ur so dumb, even though he only played 50 percent of the noets incorrectly he still 10x better than u.

@@HeatherAckroyd Is it accurate to say that you aren't a refulgent little light emission with all your bitingness? On the off chance that you guarantee that you have never played the violin up to, what gives you the authority to guarantee that you could play better compared to this person, I get that you mean it in a stupid way, but still why insult this person. ?

Haven't been playing long, have you? He missed more notes than he hit...or were you saying that you're amazed someone so bad got recognized?

@@rt-vl In which case you should remove the “but” from the comment.
Lol
Never knew that was an emoji 💿
I couldn't actually hear the violin, his ego was screaming over.
I agree with jason
What is your problem with his ego and his personality in the comments guyz cm'on
+andromisilibrober Our problem with it, is that they're too inflated. Having an Ego is ok, but when it's self inflated to his level, it gets annoying. And his personality is pretty snooty and arrogant. He brags a lot also. That's our problem.
too true
I completely agree. Personally, I thought that was actually a pretty horrible noise. Being able to play something really fast doesn't mean that you are playing it well. This is a perfect example of that. There are a lot of truly great violinists in the world who have a great deal less in the way of ego. The true greats are there to service the music, not to inflate their own egos.

When I first saw this in 2014 I was quite amazed because I had only been playing for a bit over a year. Now that I’m looking back at it, man he just straight up missed every note and it sounded horrible even though he’s on an electric instrument. Also, is no one gonna mention how this instrument has 5 strings? It deserves to burn

Don't worry, it's fine that Ben Lee does this, because Paganini was the world's first rockstar.
If you search up the definition of a violin, it says that it's made of wood, and this one is not, so he is technically the fastest electric violin player.
He's not the fastest, nor a violin player... You should check out David Garrett's flight of the bumblebee where he actually played the notes... This guy is a scam...
his electric 'violin' has 5 strings. he has stooped so low that he cant even be compared to a electric violin.
Oh no! They misspelled fakest as fastest!

"The violin typically has four strings"
"The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that usually has six strings"

I love watching it at ×.25 speed... The inaccuracy is on point.
I watched at x 0.75 speed which is closer to the normal speed of the song. It sounded like a scratchy mess
My girl, that is SAVAGE but true
At 0.5 speed it's already a massacre. Hilarious.

@@naeemng You right.
Go to 4:00 and set playback speed to 0.25x and then listen to his “record breaking” performance. 👍

He does not deserve the world record.

Violin is not just extreme pleasure. Violin is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven. When you realize that, it's so good, it's infinitely good. It's not just good. It's good to the infinite degree. It's so much goodness that you can't contain it. your body can't hold it. Your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss. It's perfection. It's total peace. It's absolute love, that's truly violin.
At 0.25 speed, it sounds like a giant mosquito dying and screeching for help.
