[bosniac17]

[VikingSpaceNinja]

you make it look so easy, I can hardly get a clean note out of a violin, little lone play a song, good job kid

[IrishDancemeister]

Just to let you know, King of the Fairies has been around for centuries, there in no know writer for most of the Irish music!!!

[sapheyes1994]

I know how to play this tune :D I'm adding my own slurs in places, and perfecting my bowing. Once it doesnt sound so scratchy I'll post it :D Really nicely played btw ^^

[GyuJazz]

Wow... I bet if Richard Ashcroft would've played violin, he would've looked like that!

Awesome tune, well played!

[Tshea13]

Excellent! You have a real ear for Kevin Burke's unique style. Keep it up.

[CaptainHousty]

god i hate when americans think theyre irish

[XxXcoolbeansyeaXxX]

@CaptainHousty when we have some irish in us, we can't help but be proud of it--don't hate(:

[CaptainHousty]

@XxXcoolbeansyeaXxX oh sorry right i didnt know youu are irish

[GoblinJuiceII]

Love it. But it ain't just a fiddle tune damn it... As a completely unbiased whistle player I would say it is a whistle tune... ;) But yeah its great =)

[alandana]

Really quite nice playing.... excellent control. Let us hear more as you continue on the journey!

[pipa123100]

[gittylicious]

Its a good effort for a young man. Nice sound. Check out the Dubliners or the Horslips for another take on this trad tune.

[LirienGreenleaf]

Very Good! People say that is very hard to play a violin,

is that true?

[NIzzicupo]

How long have you been playing for? Your sliding is very good

[lulumimina]

[jessicajh]

I loved this :) I like the interpretation.

[PEIDanielScott]

Hey, I've just gotten into playing the Violin, trying to learn both classical music and traddition irish fiddle reels and jigs. I must say you are quite good. I always had a soft spot for this piece and have been trying to sound it out myself. Your bowing is quite nice, no sour notes to my ear and you do a great job of developing lilt, that bouncy irish feeling that makes you want to tap your foot. Hope to see you play again. Cheers!

[mr0nemo]

good

[vuth94]

[IlBelPianista]

[FrantikFilms]

Get a fiddle book, or better yet play by ear, thats the real Irish fiddle way.

[xoxaobxox]

your playing is very jagget tune sounds off!!!

[CornLikker]

Well done. This is one of those rare songs that, if played fast, makes you want to dance, and if played slow, makes you want to cry.

[PsychoticGeek23]

Agreed!

[bertwindon]

Well I'm glad you find it simple. I hope one day you may find that it's really rather lovely ! Other than that, too much talk, and maybe trade-in the T-shirt for some inspiration !

[HappyLilBunny18]
