[MzHottieBody34]

[oXMushyGreenTeaxO]

Wow Nice Job ;P

[iluvKH4eva]

I've just started learning violin, and you are a great inspiration to me!

[tall32guy]

Why does every violin cover I see have it played in a different key?!! LOL It's annoying. This sounds pretty close, if not right on, to the original, which I want to say GOOD JOB to! :)

[j3ll1b3ll14]

I like it but the viola part is a bit more better i like the viola part because i play the viola since i was 7 years old but its only been 6 years im 13 now lmao :D

[WannabeTheBloodyFox]

@j3ll1b3ll14 I play viola too, and I did a Green Day concert for my school in late April or early May; we failed cause it sounded out of tune which peeved me off

[mercedeschachabaca]

I WISH THIS WAS FOR VIOLA!!!!!

i still want the sheet music though!!!

:D i want the sheet music...

please lol i will learn violin just to play this song!?

SHEET MUSIC? yes please :P

[ROBOTZENA]

[JustMeJennyG]

[wendylovevideo]

I wish i know the notes for viva la vida

[mrjohny193]

I play that in the electric guitar, it sounds awesome! violin SEEMS so easy compared to guitar, but i dont know because i dont play violin.

[DietBroccoli]

@mrjohny193 :  No way, dude. Guitar is one of the easiest instruments.

[breakingbarriersband]

DUDE!!! I can play my accoustic cover w/vocals and sing over this and it sounds f#$@%$ AWESOME!!!

Thanks Bro,

Breaking Barriers

[doyoulikesprinkles]

Boring. Not this performance, but the fact I'm rating u thumbs up, yet AGAIN. Lol

U're always so good!

[TheHeartnet11]

Do you think you could send me the music notes?

[YDL1]

Cool! Nice violin playing!

[bubbajt8]

[acinomgirl]

you proved to me that even a single violin can make a great cove of the song... thanks!

i'm going to learn this song... :)

[me10006]

ive plaid tht !!

[poolshooter42]

where can i find the music sheet for this

[toddfree97]

hey do u need a cellist??? i hav the music.... jk a little

[toddfree97]

need a cellist??? haha jk a little

[sweetred12]

oh my goodness! I must say, I love all of your covers, they're genius! I've only been playing the violin for three years (started in the beginning of 6th grade) and it's such a beautiful instrument if you actually stick with it and allow yourself to get better. I have a new appreciation for classical music but I love trying to play pop/rock etc. on my violin. Our orchestra has the honor to play for the local symphony/orchestra tonight and this is one of the songs we'll be playing!

[XplatinmsnipaX]

hey drbilderburger leme tell you that you did a great job i am 12 years old and i am thinkin of playing this song for my talent show in middle school i have the sheet music and everything you got any tips for me please reply

[babytaz2408]

Do you have violin sheet music for violin? can you please send it to me? I will tell you my e-mail through pm thank you:)

[bettinaineene]

beautiful!! just beautiful.

[usaswim323]

Should do a duo or trio with this song. All of the harmonies would be AMAZING.

[ilibelulita]

WooooW!!!! I`m learning to play the violin!

[drbilderburger]

Awesome!

[PacManPark]

@drbilderburger . for the viola, which notes do u play as flat?

[drbilderburger]

@PacManPark - all notes marked as such. Starting with what is marked as flat in the key signature, in this case: B,E,A, and D. Add to that whatever other note marked by an accidental flat in front of it as the song unfolds, unless said flat is canceled out by a sharp or natural sign in front of the note. Additionally, all standard music notation rules apply. Now for viola, it is the same as any non-transposing or "c instrument".

[PacManPark]

@drbilderburger thanks. i havent touched my viola in a couple of years and im already starting to forget things.

[Medication102]

@ilibelulita

Me too...I just ordered a violin and I'm really excited! I'm 20 and a pianist by trade but I always wanted to play the violin...So Im teaching myself!!! lol

[Pychosocial1]

@InsAInCroManiaCk No. After every concert, I recycle my old music

[dotty4566]

Very nice! I think you did a great job figuring out this complicated piece. Very impressive. Btw, a good chiropractor could set your arm on the road to healing (worked for me!).

[violinlover77]

can you please send me the sheet music. i have been playing violin for 5 years now and i have been looking for it forever. thanks.  your amazing!

[Pychosocial1]

My orchestra played this, but I'm a viola, so it's nice to hear what part the violins played in the song. Two thumbs up!!!

[InsAInCroManiaCk]

@Pychosocial1 oh cool, do u stil lhave the sheet music for it? [also plays viola xD]

[JAGindustries]

This Is Crazy. ! Okay So I've Been Trying To Teach Myself This For -MONTHS- & Then My Evil School Tells Me We're Doing This For Our Winter Concert. ! Crazy Or What. ?! Hah Yu Ah-Mazing By The Way :D SO EXCITED FOR YU TO UPLOAD BAD ROMANCE XD Heheh. ! <33

[drbilderburger]

thanks, and good luck with your winter concert :)

[JAGindustries]

Awe Thanks. ! =)

[ccoollkkiidd]

@JAGindustries you dont need to capitolize every fucking word.

[TheCooga5]

@JAGindustries o mi god me too!!! :)

[spoiled90girl]

wow thats kool do u have the notes for it? it would be nice to play that!

[drbilderburger]

i do have it (made it by listening to song, and writing it down)

and i don't think its that nice to play, it's in a horrible key for the violin. hard to play in tune, which i didn't even do myself.

[camaleoncin4]

Please, Share us the music Sheet

[LittleLottieHottie]

wow!

love it

[GomuGomuNoG]

omg so good

[jockeybabi95]

wow i just took alook at your videos and there amazing you play very well to bad i quit for the piano lol theres a song that sounds beautiful on the violin called requiem for a dream you should try it

[Olettegirl17]

Music sheet please!

[RobinMacZombies]

Omfg, <3 This Is My Fave SOng ;)

[oliverishot]

listen to the group Barrage play this song. they are an amazing group and played this song to perfection :)

[lpbraun9]

You are awesome!!! I am just learning to play vioin and was looking for video of something other than classical music. You play perfectly! I love Coldplay and this really inspires me. Thanks!

[Pingo1944]

I really want to have the sheet music for this song, but i can't find it. Does anyone know where i can get it?

[uNANOtube]

you are great

[spainbelly]

it sounds so amazing but loses the touch when you do a lot of vibrato...try and just do it for the major parts and it'll sound much better...keep up the good work =]

[EatYourBeans]

Agreed :). In my opinion, the "C# - Eb - G#" part should be staccato without vibrato

[cutieluvpye]

wow, your amazing, keep up the awesome work !!:D

[Sesasize]

I don`t think that`s a good song to cover.....cause there is a violine in this song.

[banishedangel6]

that's a...cello...i think.

[GSol17]

If you really think that. you're an idiot.

[banishedangel6]

i meant in the real song

[modelCHICKdancer]

omg r u serious?

[banishedangel6]

about what?

[modelCHICKdancer]

sum1 saying they thought it was a cello lol

[banishedangel6]

that would be me. and no, i'm IN an orchestra, i would know if it was a cello. i meant in the actual song BY coldplay, i think the stringed part was played by a cello

[kittiecatz88onrs]

part of it was, watch coldplay's first viva la vida vid, it sows cello, violin, and maybe viola, but i can't be sure on that. i play viola, and i can play viva la vida by ear, but it isnt perfect.

[modelCHICKdancer]

oh ok

[Fusselsocke300]

yes it's a cello in the original music video

[WUYAR]

amazing

[babesaiwhat]

i played this song in my orachestra concert

[Xentarius1996]

Wow...amazing....<33^^

[x0Dance]

Joefelix86's version is better.

[thepianoaddict]

so what? this is good to right? ew1282 also has one and he doesn't play the original in the background but does all the music him self. but this video is still worth at least 4 stars.

[simingtoni]

Dude you are awesome!! Can you play the song Audience of one by rise against?

[mopomioo]

He is the best !! :D He gave me sheet music CAnt Thank Him Enough :D

[sammie99344]

how when???

[kasukiNESS]

Do you have sheet music?

[Sil3entAng3l]

hello you are amazing !!!! how long have you been playing the violin ? May i please have the music sheet? thank you

[jadenjak]

you look a tad like Robert Lindsay

[asianxxgrace]

It'd be great to hear this as a duet with a cellist since that part is pretty much already a given in the original score.

[theothercanadian]

actually, coldplay used a violin player

one violinist for all the parts

some dude with a 7 or 8 string electric violin lol

[asianxxgrace]

Oh... I didn't realize it was Violin since I thought there were parts that sounded lower than the G-string. But I guess that's what the extra strings were for.

[InTheRandom]

This is truly AMAZING!! Keep it up!

[jemimahwon]

cn i have the sheets?? pls..

[drhandcraft]

yes!!!!!!! i know hwo to play this at last!!!! from listening from your playing ^^

[klud99]

congratulations

[twilighthank]

[yoshimitsu0614]

[dirtycup66]

[Bordiran]

[seldemme]

[rilieaga2007]

[spire52]

can i please have the sheet music for this piece.

[randomneshh]

can i have the sheet music for this, please?

[Gmanx16]

I like the violin; If I played I would learn some of Vivaldi's violin concerto stuff. My fav is the first movement in 'Winter' of his four seasons.

[MsKencan]

thanks for the help!! really appreciate it!

[TheDarkNobleOne]

what's with all the comments just posted up by the owner?

[drbilderburger]

those are replys to other people.

because the youtube comment system works the way it works, it makes my replies to older comments look like new comments instead of properly attaching them to the thread they belong to ... if you click view all comments youll see what i mean.

[mzadams77]

It's like you're playing all the songs from my iPod, haha

[drbilderburger]

so you've noticed the pattern ;)

actually my thing is if im going to play any 'popular' styles of music, it might as well be the most popular.

[fjnicolas]

god love ur hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[carlitosway360]

theres another guy that plays this song on piano here on youtube...i wonder how you both will sound

[drbilderburger]

very good ... if the following is true:

we play in the same key

our instruments are tuned to the same pitch

we play at the same tempo

and we play the entire song, and not abridged editions.

[xOreoxoxo]

um wheres the sheet music???????

[2X1O3]

wow..nice!

[MsKencan]

hi drbilderburger, love what you have done with this! I have been looking for the sheet music for a while now and cant seem to find it... are you able to email it to me at all please?

[drbilderburger]

thank you very much

[aznpimpette]

[leocoimbracoimbra]

[imtheboss85]

[merlinw540]

Could we have a copy of the sheet music PLEASE? My son plays violin and thinks you rock - it is very hard to find this kind of music for violin.

[drbilderburger]

Ya. It shouldnt be so hard to find. I dont know why there isnt an officially published edition. Ill send you a message here that will be helpful though.

[sabresplayer1313]

[mina8596]

That was great! Do you have the music! I loved the vibrato

[drbilderburger]

how long do you play the violin now?

i play for one year and a month..

xx.

[drbilderburger]

Thank you.

I watched your video, great job. By the way, that was a good move changing it to the key of A major instead of A-flat major.

And me? I've been playing since I was 14, on and off really.

[lollollol189]

You really gotta send me the sheet music! Me and my friend have been looking every where for it!

[fightingheller]

can you please send me a copy of the sheet music? I REALLY love this song and your version sounds the best out of other people's version on youtube. If you can, please send me a copy.

[drbilderburger]

Thanks.

Ill send you a message you should find useful.

[kevinjonasmyhero]

Heyy, great job!

I was wondering if you could send me the music sheet because I would like to play this song for my school's 'Our Talented Musicians' talent show. xP I love this song and I really want to play it--please reply!

[SmartnessD]

im gonna play this song for my school talent show next week.

[beccaBFFL]

[firetwin19]

i love cold play!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drbilderburger]

i can help you learn it.

[sammies8975]

Great solo cover/performance. Violin is a beautiful instrument in the right hands.

[gottalovefastfood]

this song makes me cry

[RayLizRox]

u great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~liz

[HeavY808]

Good job!

[WeCallHimVampire]

Oh my.

I doubt you remember this, but I was that person who needed the sheet music for this to get into our school talent show. Well, tonight was our talent show and I won first place! I'm feel so happy. I just want to say THANK YOU so much for sending me the link for the music! I wouldn't have done it without your arrangement :D

[drbilderburger]

Hey, that's awesome!

Well, don't just thank me, thank yourself. You actually had to learn it, and play it well -- that's the hard part. So I say congrats to you :)

[viggoxd]

Just saw his videos today, and i must say he is amazing. But good job, you should be proud! (:

[triggerhappygw]

I WANTT A TRANSCRIBED COPY! ahhh i love this song...and im a violinist...

[madeline1310]

hi! May i have the score??

[tamonipk]

can u do the song my paper heart by the all american rejects!!!!??? plz!!! (a violin and viola duet if u can:) ) pleaaassseee!!!! :)

[drbilderburger]

My standard right now is to do everything as a trio (violin(s) and viola(s)). If I think it would work better as a duet, I do that ... and that saves some writing work.

Anyhow, I shall add your request to my list of things to consider for future videos.

[dgtucker]

I love your version of this. Could you send me the sheet music? I want to learn this for violin!

[drbilderburger]

thank you. ill send a message about where you might find it.

[yinandGIANG]

epicness at it's best! :O, this is what I need!

I'm learning how to play the violin just for this song, lmao.

I'm planning to play it for Battle of the Bands next year, do you mind sending me that "message"? :P

Also, I have a question, is it hard to sing and play the violin at the same time? And how are some ways to develop vibrato on the violin?

My primary instrument is the cello, so there are many differences in style and technique.

^_________^, thanks DR!

[drbilderburger]

Thank you. Sure, Ill send you a message :)

Hard to sing and play the violin at the same time? Well, I would say it would be hard to do both or either well while attempting to both at the same time. In other words, yes.

Violin vibrato techniqes? Look up the user ProfessorV here on youtube. He has many violin lesson videos, there's some good ones on vibrato there.

[lmsdxdancer]

haha, it's very hard to sing and play the violin at the same time. you have to focus on the notes your playing and the words.

also, amazing video!

[weluvhim]

i have the Score to this(:

we are the only school to actually have it(:

i play viola(:

[MeisterLeexxx]

AHH i love this!!! the best i've seen yet! 5 stars all the way!~ i hate to burden but i've got to request.... would you do a cover from a song by wolfsheim? it would be such inspiration! I have this ever lasting love for the sound of violins but never bothered to teach myself how to play but they sound so beautiful!

[drbilderburger]

thank you so much.

i shall add it to my list of things to consider for future videos, everything from me is by request, just a matter of picking something from the list :)

[MeisterLeexxx]

Thank you! your consideration is greatly appreciated.:)

[summy75038]

do you always do wrist vibrato? i could have sworn you did arm somewhere??? anywho, your videos are awesome. =)

[drbilderburger]

thank you :)

And to attempt to answer: I don't know, depends what effect I am trying to achieve, the style of the piece I am playing, and how healthy i feel on a given day. I would say on average, my arm moves, but not a great deal. My normal vibrato is probably a synthesis of arm and wrist with wrist being by far the primary motivator.

[vanillachoppy]

i just started playing this song for my viola and its awsome! thanks so much

[EatYourBeans]

:o!

Mind passing the URL to the sheet music? I'd really appreciate that. Violists don't have enough suppliers for modern music as far as I know.

[drbilderburger]

i agree, and shhhhhhhh

[Bob22992]

May I know as well? Thank you so much!

[YouJustGotHustled]

that was amazing, all your videos are siiiick

would you mind sending me the music sheet?

[drbilderburger]

the sicker the better, lol :-)

[salemilove]

beautiful music

[BeckhamFan2300]
