this women is so talented i hope i can be as good as her some day (well any bit near her standard of playing would be amazing :)

[celloroarable]

It sounds as though there were two violins - pizz, smooth bow, melodic material while an ostinato bass line continues. All with feeling, too!

[bryenico]

how long has she been playing?

[arrow81030]

@bryenico She started playing at the age of 4, and she is 31 now, so that actually explains a lot hahaha, but what's most impressive is that she performed this piece at the age of 11... she is just amazing.

[bryenico]

She is way too incredible. <3

[yellowboi77]

PHENOMENAL !

[dropsoffaith]

EPIC.

[EndangeredLogic]

The apparent ease with which she plays this demonstartes extraordinary technical ability that allows her wonderful musicality to shine through in a piece that most professionals would be proud to simply negotiate through to the end. I was particularly impressed with the cleanness of tone throughout. Sensational playing.

How does one person on one four-stringed instrument sound like a whole bloody quartet?

[supercalifragelistik]

Yah man. She's pretty good! I'll bet even old Charlie Daniels cain't play that song.
