    This is inspiring.

    I’m 15 and I play the violin and have been since I was about 9 years old. I’m by no means a prodigy of any sort (just average skill), but this was incredible. One heck of a violin solo. You are your own orchestra! haha

    Keep up the great work. I can only hope to be this good one day!

    Loads of respect,
    Marianna

    gotta love the guitar slung on your back at the same time! for a while i thought you might break out with a rock guitar loops as well!

    It takes some time to adjust, but once you do, you’ll never want to go back.

    Is playing a 5 string violin any harder than playing a 4 string? Does it take getting used to or what? C strings are awesome…

    Just to clear up the last comment’s question, he chose to do that because it adds to the song’s phrasing. He does it intentionally.

  17. narutogeekfan December 24, 2008 at 8:30 pm #

    have you havnt memorized the notes yet because in the middle part you were switching speed from slow to fast and then back to slow

    Very nice, are you using the Jazz Zeta bridge?

  19. davoskim December 24, 2008 at 8:30 pm #

    Thanks for your comment, take a look at when I vibrato throughout the whole video. Some notes I choose to vibrato at the beginning, some I don’t. I pick and choose my spots mainly for phrasing especially when I am using the loopstation.

    Cool, I wish I had a 5 string. just a tip. try to vibrato throughout the notes, instead of starting with none, adding some, and then stopping before you go to the next note.

  21. rroberts02 December 24, 2008 at 8:30 pm #

    Right, add’s the viola’s C string

  22. timothyngim December 24, 2008 at 8:30 pm #
