[legodude78910]

This is amazing....it makes me want to learn how to play violin!

[BrittneyMarcum]

hey thats great!! where do you get the notes at??

[luludivad]

quite awesome, little tip tho, life your elbow so its parallel to your wrist!

[bpertz]

@luludivad yeah yeah :p violin is my time to be lazy; viola is my main instrument, so I take violining as a little break. But I agree, that would've improved it.

[13sfaustino]

I remeber i used to play like this, now i wish i can play how i used to play

[theafterlight22]

i wish i could play the violin...... too bad this is really good though! :)

@ilovetosingoutloud11 so learn!! It's never too late to pick up an instrument :)

[Voidslik]

What model violin?



[bpertz]

@Voidslik this is a one-of-a-kind violin. It's an acoustic with a pickup stuck in it, but the previous owner tinkered with it to his tastes, and this is the only violin he owned. It's a great instrument; I love it :)

[bpertz]

@SSunicorn I dunno, you might have to fight your way through all of my other adoring fans who are wailing on my doorstep for me to become their betrothed (lolno). Sure, let's elope to Alaska and wave at the Russians, eh? :)

@startribblet always happy to hear I've inspired others. It really was inspiration that got me going, and I love passing that on to others.

[startribblet]

@bpertz :)

[xPixelPrincessx]

[kazerism]

bpertz I'm not good with Rock I'm really having a hard time trying to play the parts where the Guitar takes place . . . is it better if I start at A string or mostly E string ?

[bpertz]

@kazerism i don't understand what you're asking;; pm me with details?

[dani66652]

@bpertz Hi, where i can get part for this super song? :) i play the violin too, 9 years, i am 15 and i am from czech rep. :) tnx

[bpertz]

@dani66652 I'm not sure where you can get the part. If you do get a part, you'll probably have to pay for it, because anything official would be under copyright protection from Ardent Records (Skillet's label). Except for the Comatose videos of mine, I do all of my violin covers by ear, so I don't write anything down. Sorry I can't be of more help!!

[adame5176]

Man.. You are amazing :) now long u play?

[DarkArt987]

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JPlover13]

pick this. pick it now. :D

[Minisd327]

OMG DUDE i've played the violin since I was like 5 and Im alomst 16 and I could never play that well

[bekii6]

dood.. you are my violin idol noww.. SHARE YOUR WISDOM... pwease? =3

[lexilydia23]

Wow! You are amazing! There is this thing at my school called senior project where we have to learn and present something that we have never done before in only 3 months. Well I am learning the electric violin and doing this song as my final product. I have watched your video like 30 times. Do you have any tips for me??

[bpertz]

@lexilydia23 the only thing i can offer as advice is know the song backwards, forwards, upside down...and every other way one can know a song. I was (and still somewhat am) obsessed with Skillet, so i was constantly listening to this song, and that made me extremely familiar with the song, and everything that goes on within it. So, really, that's all the advice i can give you; listen to it to the point that you can sing each different part separately without the recording, from memory.

[bpertz]

@bpertz hope i helped!! :) good luck!

[TheBMXman13]

hey man im looking for sheet music for skillet and was wondering where i could get some for violin

[anemokidzac]

Beautiful... :') Let the Violin live on!

[xsweetxcrueltyx]

Wow that sounds amazing..

[julieth202]

you are like amazing.

and then again i ask myself why is justin bieber famous and not SOME people.

god bless!

please make more videos.

i'm officially you're biggest fan XD.

[cookiegirl4]

@bpertz ok yeah I noticed that. But plz make more videos and I feel the whole rock sort of music fits you well

[cookiegirl4]

@bpertz ok well I think that the whole rock thing works for you

[cookiegirl4]

@bpertz thanks for responding can you possibly try a song by Lincoln park like maybe what I've done. Great job your really good at what your doing!

[bpertz]

@cookiegirl4 eh, I really despise Linkin Park's new stuff (i.e: Minutes to Midnight and later), so that probably won't happen; and most of their other music is in really awkward keys...
