A fiddle is the same as a violin. Speaking from experience, a fiddle is not hard to play, though it makes horrid noises to people who don't play it right.
From what I've heard some fiddlers get the bridge lowered so that the strings are more leveled. Also fiddlers tend to keep rosin caked all over their strings. Yeah Fiddling isn't something you pick up overnight either!
@Ovanteeri Not to sound mean, but there is a difference. Not in the instrument its self but in the way it is played. I have been playing the fiddle for 5 years now and if there is one thing I know...it's that one way of playing is not easy at all if you learned the other...BUT...This kid...this is AMAZING...it took me 2 years to learn this song as well as i know it and he is playing it at 11? This is spectacular.
see i like the fiddle and i hate the violen, but i learned later in life there basically the same thing, if they called it the fiddle in 5th grade music i would have taken it
Keep Praticing Johnny The Devil is in the house of the rising sun!! this is awesome because some kids your age wouldnt even play an instrument. Your cool man, keep practicing and dont give up!! :)
piano's arent... and before you say it... piano's ARe stringed instruments... The real ones atleast... If you've ever looked inside one, you'll see 1 string for each note, already perfect...
WTF?!?!? at his age, playing Devil went down to Georgia, and playing it on the violin??? That's talent right there. He could win a scholarship if he wanted to!
He's playing it as fast as he can, but he's damn good! I was stupid at that age and decided violin was uncool, so I quit at 10. ;_; I picked up my friend's violin now, (17) and I can't play it to save my life. xD
exelent work dude, i myself dont play a fidle but ive played this song with my uncle with electric guitars and one things for sertain u need a little faster speed on the intro but amazing dude
you play good, but some advice, hold it up strait, you hold it pointing down, dont put your wrist against the neck, and dont move your bowing arm past the elbow
I play the viola which is similar
keep working on it, youll be able to play full speed in no time
I think this kid is awesome! good job!

How old is he? Yes it isnt a above average performance of this song but it is probably better than most kids depending on how old he is.
