Bach Preludio rock electric violin jam

[JimmyDiggs87]

You sir, are awesome. 

[Deanomag]

Lol . . . how much did you speed the vid up? I'd believe it if you had an analog clock in the background . . . ticking away at 1 bpm. At any rate, nice intonation and fun. I had my electric fiddle stolen out of my car years ago and miss it . . .

[1stfiddlerman]

@Deanomag - You are joking right?

[Deanomag]

@1stfiddlerman I initially thought it was sped up because the video was glitchy. Not as high a quality as the piazzolla so I thought it was altered. Then I thought back to my electric fiddle and remembered how quick the response can be. Nicely done . . . I'm pulling out my fiddle tonight to play it and see if I can keep up :) I used that piece to audition for university back in the day.

[1stfiddlerman]

@Deanomag - I wouldn't dream of it. The sound quality is not that good because of the effects and probably because of my cheap camcorder that I had at that time.

[Deanomag]

Do you play professionally, for fun, or for both? Looks like fun at least.

[1stfiddlerman]

@Deanomag - I'm a professional classical violinist. Since moving back to Florida three years ago, I have been freelancing in the local professional orchestras, which do not have many concerts per year (Florida is culturally deprived). I've been traveling to play abroad as well off season. I also play weddings in various chamber ensembles almost every weekend. And I am happy to say that I still play for fun, and get paid for it too :-)

Very nice, Bach Rocks!!!! Whisch effects did you use? I guess some distortion + reverb, something more? what about equalization? thanks. Great work, this video rocks!!

[ThreeDaysGraceFan09]

This is amazing. That I have to say, you're a great violinest. What kind of distortion pedal do you use?

[1stfiddlerman]

@ThreeDaysGraceFan09 - A very inexpensive pedal, Zoom G2

[preposterous3637]

You're really, really good! You were especially good in the Histoire du Tango by Piazzolla!

[1stfiddlerman]

@preposterous3637 - I appreciate that. Thank you

[NataliaNKar]

Pierre, you are exceptionally talented and your technical skill is truly amazing... Never actually thought how wonderful Bach could sound on an electric violin. No words to describe it - pure XTC...out of this world...After hearing u play this I took up the piece myself today, you have to play it to know how good it feels...You are truly wondeful and you inspire me. Thank you.

[Max0Inq]

With classical music shredding sounds good.

Great work.

[shenzo]

awesome, great sound and playing!

[drunksingsheep]

Bad-ass! You should have played for king crimson or curved air but you weren't born yet? Damn you're good!

jeez!

[1stfiddlerman]

[thrashmetal1029]

I really wish I could play the violin!

[soulreaver017]

[1stfiddlerman]

Zeta jazz fusion fiddle and a guitar distortion pedal.

[songstohimself]

Tur jag inte spelar violin, annars hade jag slutat nu!

[ClassXMike]

Rock the ßach ! i£u>it !

[darxus2]

"ß" is a German character meaning "ss".

[alalom707]

This is mad. It's differaat even from rock versions of classical pieces, because it's still the original piece, but it so isn't! My brain is confused!

[1stfiddlerman]

HAHAHA I don't know how to take that.

[alalom707]

Take as a compliment. This is amazing!

[1stfiddlerman]

Thanks
