If the audience doesn't stop clapping along, somebody is gonna have to slap a bitch. *glares menacingly around* I'm a musician myself and that's my absolute worst pet peeve ever.
@TheWonderfulWombat Boo on you, you mean to tell me that you go to a concert and you don't stomp your foot or clap to really great, up-beat music? BOOOOO!!!! Lol, just kidding but still >:l
Wow!!!! I attempted to learn this song on the fiddle awhile back, but I will NEVER be this clean and crisp!! His playing and bowing technique absolutely blow me away!!!!!!
its not all that difficult to be honest, there just definetly needs to be an excellent technical foundation really, its mostly scale runs and decent bowing skills which takes time but as a piece its relatively easy...however this video is three tunes...the curlew, jennys chickens and the tamalin/ b minor reel....the most difficult of these pieces rangewise /technique wise etc is jennys chickens.maybe give a shot at the curlew and work your way up=Dsoon youl have the whole thing
@glittermerchant you forgot sleeping maggy's reel and they arn't doing all turns in the tunes but just the same amazing this music is why i still keep playing.
@Ronbomb1 ...i remember learning these tunes when i was about 10 ish or so... theyre all great ...seriously though give the first tune. the curlew a shot youll be able to build up some of the technique needed for jennys chickens and the tamalin/b minor reel in which the bow technique needed for crisp string crossing ,the finger dexterity 4 runs,rolls,double stopping etc.can be refined...drowsy maggies reel isnt in this set, although there is a high possibility you know it as different title=P
What exactly is it that makes this music so amazing? I'd expect a mathematical analysis of this music, if such a thing could be done, would reveal something fundamental to the universe.
I just wanna jump up and dance everytime i hear this song. In fact, my nieghbors and i have been making a little dance to their other song, "G minor". We are still working at it, but we are just having fun with this music. ^_^
They're not called bow strings.
But look how many he's loosing. Or at least how many he SHOULD be loosing.

@Keyboardman123 It can't be the piano. The tone of the bass is very differente from the piano. There is something very weird with this video!
