[ScHiZuPhReNiC]

I feel like a huge retard being a beginner with the violin can't play anything yet on it ;_; kinda frustrating

[lesserpandas12]

@ScHiZuPhReNiC OMG i know exactly how u feel

[FreaketteTV]

@ScHiZuPhReNiC ugh i know how you feel ive only been playing a year and i've gone from a sucky beginner 5th grader playing to somewhat less sucky 6th grade playing.

[BannanaPhone11]

I tried to learn viollin once... it sounded like a cat was dying O.O

[Die1PumaSchildkroete]

this is heavy matel for my eyes and mor °.°

[HaibaneRakka571]

The video description says something about a tutorial but I only found the sheet music. Could you explain somewhere about how you're shifting?

[maple4324]

Soul~ wo wo~

[spinasweetness]

holy crap.

[TheMrgameplayer99]

That was....that.....wow.

[Michael00189]

all of the other so called musicans that have atttemtped this on violin have utterly butchered it...you sir are a violin god

[t3hnaku]

how do u play the octaves chords? leave one ringing?

might be baby, might be master lvl. im saving for a violin ... not like a guitar for sure

[t3hnaku]

damn, why are you married!?

oh right. =3

[KeeperOfHell]

Dude, you are so awesome!!!

[Inuyasha101hot]

no mastakes!? YOU ARE ONE TALENTED DUDE!!!!!!!

[smallsilverware]

now its raining in my room.

[scarletletterman84]

UGH. Back to the drawing board I go...

Srsly, amazing work mate.

[oooFBGooo]

My dear god! I just got to this video and I'm in love with your music!!!

I have to learn to play violine!!!

How long does it actually take to get to this niveau? Is it very hard?

Thank you so much and greetings from brazil

[alanoasiss]

@oooFBGooo Yes, is very hard to learn. I recommend you to learn a lot of musical theory before and get a Violin with tabs like the guitar. It's damn hell hard to play this instrument...

Learn to transcribe music sheets, to read notes, learn about the strings of the violin, etc. It's a lot I know but is cool when you know how specialy the fast songs.

[oooFBGooo]

@alanoasiss Yeah, thank you so much my friend :-)

I will try to rent a violin for a few months to see how it is to learn it!

Thank you so much and god bless you :-)

[AllAboutWooper]

When I clicked the title I didn't realize that I opened something so incredibly powerful it would make me sad inside

(You rock!) D'x

Now... I'm going to watch more of your videos.

[BenChanViolin]

Just for fun, I decided to bring this one back to YT since it's one of my original arrangements :) Enjoy!

[Aqwmasterchief2064]

@BenChanViolin What Notes Are They?



[Yahairo]

DUDE CMOON! i wanted to check your vibrato secrets video!! naaaaa! well, i play too, and i hate the classic concerts and stuff violins are made for, so i try to look for new refreshing music, so i found you... so thank you ben! keep playin!

[8violin8]

hello Ben Chan, Um thanks so much for adding the music to your videos. Especially this one. I really wanted to learnt his one. :)

[Yahairo]

brutal... loved it... ill check out the papers! thanks!

[Joop5000]

Ben,

What happened, i can only watch a few of your videos, when i click on certain ones i saved in my favorites, like The Sibellious one, it won't open that video and many others. Also when i go to your channel, it says you have only 12 videos.

I went to the help section and it says to uninstall Flash Player, then reinstall, i did that, but nada.

[tomatoshadow]

I love all the little things you added!

[MidgarZolom]

Song of Storms is one of my favorite songs, and this is a pretty version of it, so I have no trouble making this a favorite.

[CherrieGirlll]

absolutely magnificent: the lovely quality of sound, rich notes and phrasing just make me think about all the lovely things in life... Thank you again, for yet another outstanding and inspiring video, you're a true "GIVER"!:)

[Oniknarf]

very nice!! I enjoyed it.

just asking, who made your violin?

[Oniknarf]

I just viewed the video about your violin, so I got the answer now...thanks:)

[moonwalker51292]

i like the double stops =]

[Naruto1334]

Yeah, the double stops were REALLY awesome. :]

Sounded epic.

[samhaindk]

This is really exellent.

I always enjoy watching your videos

[InfernoNova4]

yay im the 100th favoriter! i look forward to the sheet music and more great playing

[BenChanViolin]

I've heard loud and clear - the transcript will be posted this afternoon once I'm done with some church assignments!

[starshine446]

man i grew up with the zelda games on nintendo 64 and some on gamecube!!!!!

you just brought back some of the best memories of my older siblings and i playing together and haveing fun!!!(im now 14 and theyer in their 20s and are moved out all over the us!!!i miss them terribly!!!!)

thanks Benjamin!!!!u rule!seriously!

[BenChanViolin]

You are very welcome!

[yulxlover4]

DAMMMYUm im in love with this new version!

i love the classical twist

[neubern777]

Splendid, one of the best videos found until now in youtube.

[l0v3ly]

I love your interpretation of this piece! The only problem I have for some reason is the little "pips"? I'm not really sure what that technique is called, lol so I apologize for my lack of knowledge on terms. But honestly, I loved it :]

[XxVeitieroxX]

i love this.

you did an awsome version of it too

^.^

[lifesaver011]

It'd be pretty cool if you could do the Halo theme, if you've ever heard it there's alot of string instruments that are used.

[ChrisSmuck]

awesome

[legerix87]

i think it really brings out the idea of young link being involveed in it

[CrOnNoSSupremo]

just great !

[8violin8]

Itz so funny, cause my teacher does the sniffing thing right after a rest or something also ( but yet he does it so that you could here it miles away LOL). I was wondering why do you do that? Because if it really helps with something I ireally want to know.

[zhoudaniell]

sniffing is to prepare a string player right before he or she comes in. Its like an upbeat right before the music.you know what i mean?

[BenChanViolin]

That's why I do it- thanks for clarifying, zhoudaniell! Hope that helps you out, 8violin8.

[NikNammerz]

:O...Wow no fair! I can only wish to play like that :(

[arturtle15]

OMG hey can u do another arangement but for

Zelda: Ocarina of Time Music - Lost Woods

[Noel2evil]

that would be so awesome lol

[BenChanViolin]

Man, that is extremely tempting... :-) Lemme see what I can do.

[jman8016]

You seriously rock

[KennedY3X]

wow!

great, really great

very good video

5 stars!

[TeamMLAJA]

what a nice twist on an old classic!!!!!! :)

[SharinganLord]

Hey Ben Im not sure if I posted my comment since you have to approve them and I posted it like 2 days ago so what I said was: I favorited but I want you to do the arrangement please do the sheet!

[Maticomp]

I wish had that kind of skill! Simply superb. Lively as hell! Fav, of course!

[Mordithinn]

Omg this is my favorite song in the zelda OoT. VERY nice!

[BenChanViolin]

Lol! Thanks for watching- I checked out your most recent videos and liked them a lot. I'll be back later today to comment and rate too :-)

[ram64man]

fantastic dude you really have some skills on the strings. never give up no matter what events happen in your life best wishes lee

[noix666dezephir]

very beautiful!!!!!!!

[AndromedaAiken]

Sounds chinese lol! =p

[koreankid17]

wow! thats awesome!!!! i have a question... How many years have you been playing for? I remember hearing it from somewhere but i forgot.... lol

I've been playing for about 4 years and i'm very impressed... haha you are my new idol.

keep up the good work!

[BenChanViolin]

20 years- thanks for your comment!

[gbritaney]

Nice! I like the the bow effect^^

[docjazz4]

Wow...that was fantastic! Absolutely beautiful arrangement :)

[tetsunosuke1]

Thank you, this is splended, So chillingly perfect. How can I describe it any more.

[chikensouplov3er]

that was the bomb : O

[DarkZodiark]

Ben, I have no problem favoriting any of your videos. Just 2 things about this one.

1. I'm not sure I care for the high harmonics at :22 and :53.

2. Your bow seems to drift over the fingerboard a lot. I know you have more experience than me, but this is something I've always been told to try to avoid.

But this really was a great job, I envy your ability to play by ear.

[BenChanViolin]

Typically, I'll drift over the keyboard when I'm trying to achieve a very airy effect. For example, in the middle with the double-stops, I kept my bow away from the fingerboard because that requires more power in the sound. You're of course allowed to dislike parts of the arrangement (like the harmonics)- I personally like them because they illustrate the "quirkiness" of Zelda games, a certain lightness to an otherwise mysterious environment.

[BenChanViolin]

D'OH- keyboard should be fingerboard, haha!!

[Joop5000]

Ben, This one is really cool, i added it for sure! Is this yours? or something that has been around? Sounds like Vivaldi.

[BenChanViolin]

Haha, I bet it has a classical edge to it. I made this up in about 10 min this morning after having listened to the song twice - came very naturally to me, I guess. Since I'm raised 100% classical, I'm sure there are a lot of classical influences that are recognizable in here- thanks for noticing!

[Dalyren]

Ah, very nice :) You and your music are a great encouragement to me in my violin learning. Ill have been taking lessons for a year in a few months. I regret waiting until my senior year in high school to start, but people like you inspire me to keep going!

( <3 Zelda btw )

[banana1corporation]

this is totally awesome

i wish i can be like u

[Naruto1334]

Ok, I like this one more than the "Sad violin" one. And it sounds extremely nice when you double-stop. (Or was it a triple?)

Good work! ^_^

[xenniex]

decent

[jdstorms]

Very nice! Sheet music would be sweet!

[CherrieGirlll]

wonderful again!!!!!

Particularly loved your harmonics and all the little ornaments. You played the piece magnificently and with expression and feeling.

I'm amazed. Yet again:)

[Xagonix]

Awesome.

[shadowrunesword]

That was very nice. Cute ornaments of the music as well.

[SharinganLord]

Felt goosebumps all over my body. That's great do the sheet!. I will just favorite so that you do it :P

[Vaillajus]

Brings back memories of N64 ^_^

It's one of my favourites, along with the Seranade of Water, and with an added Ben-chan twist, it sounds awesome!

Thanks, Ben-chan! =)

[animeflip]

Great rendition or whatever you call it.

[8violin8]

oh and i LOVE Zelda!!

[onoitzmalo21]

that was awesome

[8violin8]
