[dejakapeja]

This gave me goosebumps! Bravo!

[msvalerievalentine33]

This is really good!!! I've been trying to play this by ear for a long time, but I can't seem to get it... good work!

[shahmoro]

this is just amazing... just a random suggestion, maybe start in 4th and/or 5th on G at the begining..

but it would sound great either way! i love your violin! Goog job:)

[GGLB08]

Wow your amazing!!!

[hotbebimauz]

you play so lovely. excellent vibrato and beautiful sound. your violin sounds sooo great too!!!!

[allattitude9491]

that must of cost a fortune

[kira9311]

Very awesome.!!! You didn't hit some notes but it was awesome.! Ahaha. Oh, and next time, use a little more POWER.! xD haha.

[kira9311]

Hmm.

[nalleli85]

[Maisis20]

[mszsu]

Can I ask, what type of violin is that (brand)?

[tubbie0075]

@mszsu

L. Prokop 1910

[MsAliceWhitlock]

I could try by ear. This was so good. You're amazing :)

[haruka211]

overall, good job! intonation could have been better, but the vibrato was very good :) ive been doing this piece for fun, it's such a beautiful song!

and i found the piano sheet music, which works for the violin, on scribd.

[aguirrelenin]

i cant play by ear very well but by watching your video i have learned the finger movements which is good because i've wanted to play this piece for so long lol and you are pretty close to sounding like itzhak perlman

[ayanachan08]

beautiful piece....

[mermaiddreams]

i play hte violin to i know its very hard ♠

[rainydaze8418]

Breath taking.

[lissiepuerto]

YOU ARE REALLY GOOD

[DeniedSweetness]

Itzhak Perlman would've said: "You've done a good job!"

[mattnate899]

Great job...:-)...its beautifulll

[LadyInDaHouse88]

wow your violin has such a beautiful sound and your playing is just fabulous!

[Fegoll]

Can anybody tell me that in which key the notes go?

Thanks!

[overtherainbowieskie]

at the end it would've sounded better if you used the fourth finger for the dynamic. all together though very nice job. you can play very well. ;)

[mininal2]

5 estrellas

[TeraCMusic]

nice job!!! please comment on my videos!

[Saairah91]

u play dis very well

[Dymez11]

very beautiful...

[TallulahKidd]

Where did you get the music? I want to play this song so bad.

[tubbie0075]

I don't think there is a sheet music for violin. I played this by ear, so I don't have the sheet music either. Try play by ear and see if you can figure it out. Do it little section by little section. It is much more fun that way. Good luck!

[TennisaceAn]

@tubbie0075 wow ur talented

[overtherainbowieskie]

go to ben chan.. :)

[treasacat]

You most definitely did that song justice! Keep up the great work. =]

That song is beautiful.

[MINTYfreshx8]

By the way, nice shifts around 1:40. & 1:50 to the end sounded really nice - nice vibrato and dynamics. :D

[MINTYfreshx8]

I LOVE THIS SONG. They used it on So You Think You Can Dance one year, and it was the best performance ever on the show (:

[Nemaru18]

Wow that is so cool !!!

[angelqueen9989]

wow!!! :D I love this piece! :)

[dechetsdailybs]

"Tubbie0075 style (the occassionally-out of-tune, messy-string-crossings, sometimes-out-of-rhythm, vibratos-that-comes-and-go style)" Was cute.

And I loved this. And I loved that you played by ear. Violins are so versitile, arent they?

[tubbie0075]

Yes, but most instruments are versatile. It just depends on the musician playing them. I haven't even begin to grasp the basics of violin. I wish I could do more!

[EffortsatImprov]

Thank you, I enjoyed that.

[BenChanViolin]

I'm liking the Tubbie0075 style! Great job going for those hard-to-hit shifts! You've done a fine job on this video -- keep up the great work, my friend!

[tubbie0075]

Thanks. If only I'd watched your video first before recording mine, if would have discovered to:

- replace 4th with 3rd finger on important notes for better vibrato

- shift to 3rd position to avoid messy string crossing near the end

- use different contact points and bow pressures to bring out different tones and enhance dynamics

On the other hand, if I did, I would have recorded a Copy-of-Ben-Chan version. But I'll take note for my next video :-)

[Samileeroth]

-claps- I LOVE this solo, you did an amazing job tubbie.

You have definatly improved with each new video you post. Can't wait to see even more! n_n

[MichelleSeven]

lovley!!

[jjshilton]

having your own style and putting your own spin on it is always better than trying to play it like a machine. i thought it was very good

well done

lets see some more

[tubbie0075]

Yes, I feel that it is important to have your own interpretation of muisc, rather than copying someone (even if it's a great someone).

I wish I can improve my vibrato, especially on some of the high notes, and 4th finger vibratos. Who knows, maybe in my 100th video, I may play much better than now ;-)

[jjshilton]

i also feel that my 4th finger vibrato is always off but practice makes perfect.

keep at it and ignore some of the comments people put on the page some people just like to hate on others.

well done and keep it up

[tubbie0075]

Thanks. Will do.

[MusicJutsu]

I liked it! Forget what you call messy I didn't hear much wrong with it.

[tubbie0075]

Hahaha! Thanks. you're too kind and tolerant with my shortcomings.

[MusicJutsu]

Haha naw. I just think it doesn't always have to match the exact tempo of the original or anything to be good. Makes it unique too. Plus I have so many of my own shortcomings haha. Like holding down sustain until it sounds like rolling thunder =/ I need to replace that vid lol

[tubbie0075]

Don't replace the video. Take note and improve in your next video. Review your videos constantly to remind yourself not to repeat those mistakes again.

Gosh, you should look at my early videos. Absolutely horrible, most of them like a robot and full of errors! But it also shows my journey from my first video to my latest, how much I've improve. It's like a self music journal :-)

By the way, your next video is overdue!

[MusicJutsu]

Yeah I'll probably leave it. And I am trying to get my next one out but river flows in you is tough for a newb like me! Lol. Hopefully I can post it soon.
