I'm sure there are many similar comments, but I expected sometime more metal than Smoke On The Water. More a power metal theme; Holy Diver, any Iron Maiden song, etc. Other than that, I really liked the use of non-typical styles: Klezmer, Cherokee, Ragtime, bebop, elevator.. nice. Very!
Thanks for the compliments. A note to some of you: I am aware that the Mexican Hat Dance was likely not the musicological crowning achievement of the Latin American people. And I'm sorry I failed to properly label Smoke on the Water as "Post-Zeppelinic Neoclassical Anglophonic Metal." I am but a poor, simple-minded fiddle player, and this was never intended as a comprehensive study of the ethnological nuances of world music. Thank you :)
Would have been nice if you had used a greater variety of tone/playing styles to reflect the different musical genres-- e.g. a baroque violinist sounds different from a classical-era violinist who sounds different from a Cajun fiddler, etc. And as someone pointed out, Bach is from the baroque era not the classical era. Also you left out medieval and Renaissance styles. Also you left out the whole range of music from the Indian subcontinent... loved the vid but would like a longer sequel...
@IsaacTheGuitarist How strange... i had such a similar response. The Chinese, Klezmer, and Cherokee (among others) were totally wrong, and the Chinese was a little racist. There are so many kinds of chinese music to begin with, so we can't just call it Chinese music. Thats like saying "American music" and he chose a westernized melody that we often use to represent China in films.
