Wow that's pretty neat that they played to the tune of "All the Lonely People" by the Beatles!

[maydhyam]

Wow!!!! Astounding...I didn't know Jesse could play the violin...awesome...he's very talented...does anyone know what is the tune they played? I love it...:)

[musicperson7265]

Ok. Thanks =) can't wait till EYS comes back to mineola!!

[musicperson7265]

How could I get a pass?

[markwoodtv]

@musicperson7265 Sorry, that we can't help you with. You might want to approach your local music store to see if they're NAMM members.

[musicperson7265]

Could a regular person like me go to NAMM??

[markwoodtv]

@musicperson7265 Yes they do allow visitors but you would have to have an "in" with someone in the music industry who could get you the appropriate pass. :-)

HOWEVER, a good deal of the performances occur in the lobby of the Anaheim Convention Center or the Hilton Hotel and those are open to EVERYONE.

[Switz1942]

Am I crazy, or does Mark's violin have five (or possibly six) strings?

[markwoodtv]

@Switz1942 You're not crazy! Mark's violin has 7 strings and frets - it's called a Viper and his design is patented.

[Switz1942]

@markwoodtv I just noticed that Jesse's violin has five pegs also. I played the violin for a while and I can't imagine what even one more string would do to the difficulty of playing. Also, Mark is mind-bogglingly good.

[markwoodtv]

@Switz1942 Yes! Jesse went for a 5-string which gives him the ability to play in a viola range (it's a viola C string). And it's not hard at all to adapt - you already know the language of 4 strings - think of it as just adding more vocabulary. :-) BTW, Mark's 7-string Viper can sound like a violin, viola, cello, and bass all in one instrument! Thanks for the kind words - I'll make sure Mark reads this!

[AMPMZM]

they are playing to the Beatles! Chase is playing the violin...I am simply amazed!

[AlieHey]

Waaaaaa :)

[CelloChick14]

Haha I love House M.D. and Mark Wood lolz so this is awesommeee! I had no idea Chase (Jesse) was soo good lolz. Rock on! \m/

[bridgyyy3dg]

This is amazing! Never would've thought that Jesse Spencer would be a great violinist. Makes me really miss playing violin, I loved it. I only quit because I hated the school orchestra I was in & we couldn't afford to actually buy a violin.

Hopefully I'll get the chance to play again

[bloodyeve87]

boa geil ey! he's very talented oO

[Stepanka1111]

This video is amazing! Jesse has such a talent! He's awesome! I admire him... and love his reaction at the end "peace, people!" :-D and I love Mark's hair :-)

[twilightercullenxoxo]

That just makes Jesse that much more adorable to me. Because not only was his playing amazingg but he looked so dedicated as he was playing.

[nahuelita]

[ilikethemcars226]

[blackberry8319]

[Em3ly11]

what is the song that they are playing?

[markwoodtv]

@Em3ly11 Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles)

[Em3ly11]

@markwoodtv oh ok thank you!!!

[musicdudemac]

That was amazing! Does anyone know any place I can find the sheet music for this version?

[markwoodtv]

@musicdudemac The recorded version is on Mark Wood's "These are a Few of My Favorite Things" CD; we are in the process of making sheet music available to the general public but as of right now, we only offer this service to educators who work with our "Electrify Your Strings!" music ed program.

[Cami211084]

That's amazing. I'm speachless

[restlessxx86]

What is the song he is playing?

[markwoodtv]

@restlessxx86 That would be Eleanor Rigby, the great Beatles song

[restlessxx86]

Thank you very much for your reply and this beautiful video.

[markwoodtv]

@restlessxx86 Our pleasure! Jesse is a total sweetheart of a guy and a real talent on the violin. He's VERY humble about it, though! :)

[coniixcore]

i love Jesse ! he's a great musician

[musicseternal]

dudeeee your awesomeee!!!

[dreamgrl610]

WOW! jesse spencer is an amazingggggg violinist!!! and not to mention adorable!!!!!!!! i love u jesse and your music is absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[Requieskat]

It sounds eloquently and it's entertaining.

[1c3f1r3741]

Here's a stupid question from me: what is NAMM and where is it (does it travel)

[markwoodtv]

Not a stupid question at all! The NAMM Show is the National Association of Music Merchants and it's like Disneyland for musicians! Instrument manufacturers from all over the world demonstrates products there and TONS of celebrities always show up to check out the latest gear. Jesse spent a lot of time hanging out at the Wood Violins booth and it was so great to get him to play the new Sabre we built for him!

[1c3f1r3741]

where is it and does it move?

[markwoodtv]

It's held twice a year here in the USA - in January, it's in Anaheim, CA and in July, it's in Nashville, TN. We usually exhibit and perform at the one in Anaheim, though - it's much larger.

[1c3f1r3741]

So you don't go to the one in Nashville?

[markwoodtv]

Not usually - summer's a busy time for us and it's hard to fit that one in. But we're ALWAYS at the Anaheim one.

[1c3f1r3741]

ok..

i was just wondering...

[1c3f1r3741]

That was/is so cool

[vosyyoful]

hermoso mi jesse!!!! gracias por el video!! awsome =)

[LalilloRockstar]

He's really talented, that sounds beuiful.

[speedburnervideo]

wonderful clip, love the tune and the chops are superb, well done to both!

[ManMartin]

Hi all, if you look in youtube for Hugh Laurie's videos you will find out that he plays piano and electric guitar too... amazing. Cheers from spain.

[ThatRomyKate]

Jesse Spencer + His Violin + The Beatles = I may just faint. 3 of my favourite things all rolled into one <3

[markwoodtv]

Tons of Jesse pix will be posted on Mark Wood's website within the next few days by the way!

[RedBev59]

OHHH, That was really great! Thanks for sharing this!! :)

[roflravenclaw]

Wow nice!

[camileb]

yay jesse! anybody know how it's called the piece of music they did?! it's so beautiful!

[markwoodtv]

Yes! It's called Eleanor Rigby and it's Mark Wood's arrangement of this great Beatles tune that appears on his "Favorite Things" CD. You can buy the CD on Mark's website or just the track on iTunes or pretty much any other downloading site.

[sandiwolf1]

This is awesome! I absolutely love House. I wasn't aware that Jesse Spencer could play violin, but he and Hugh Laurie are my favorite actors from House.

Thanks for posting this. Very cool!

[weldfish]

Very cool.

[benforbing]

Awsome Mark! You've inspired so many people including me and I play guitar.
