[iMmErdeejay]

you're really great... i've listened a lot of violinists....

yeah, you rock even with a violin...

[brianfitzrock]

Thanks! Check out my other vids on here?

[ferdiachten]

boring...

[danieella00]

you should have won! seriously

[IHLATW]

Fuck Yeah!!!!!

[Gruber195]

i don't say you're bad but i don't really think anybody should play any "rock songs" on a classical instrument cause it will just sound stupid :P But you're good though.

[brianfitzrock]

Well I'm glad you like, but you should note that the guitar is a "classical" instrument as well.

While predecessors begin to show up thousands of years ago, a variant of the modern guitar clearly differing from the lute first appears around 1300. The guitar doesn't even become electrified until shortly after 1920.

Just somethin to put in your pipe, as they say.

[Gruber195]

Okey i didn't really know that :D But you play very good.

[YuriJen]

[Spyguy19956]

What instrument is that!

[SandSpro]

electric violin

(dumbass)

[JRTET21]

It's a mini electric guitar with a bow.

(dumbass)

[brianfitzrock]

Actually...SandSpro has it right.. it's an electric violin. I can understand how the body shape may have confused you.

[loasred123]

your stupid lol dumbass

[x3aturh3art0utx3]

[brianfitzrock]

[PrinceCaspian58]

O_O

The hair on your bow.

[brianfitzrock]

Haha that unfortunate side effect of 4 hours of gigging every night of the week. I only have a window of time to get my bows rehaired once every couple months. :-\

But yeah.. Wowzers. Pretty shredded up haha.

[PrinceCaspian58]

Hehe.

That happens to me when I don't use rosin, so I press to hard and the hair just pops out XD

[bradleypa7]

Brian play with the Foo Fighters at the Grammys!!!

[LiannaAnduha]

holy crap! that was flawless :D bravo

[cornonthebread]

that did not sound like foo fighters, but it was okay i guess

[bradleypa7]

Brian play with the Foo Fighters at the Grammys last year.

[mastermizery]

fuck off people, if you are just watching this to give a bad comment, dont comment at all, this guy has great talent, i once tried violin, and ended up smashing it, violin playing is very hard, and anyone with this talent shouldnt be put down

[blondesaresmart2]

dude ur good i really wanna get an electric violin!!!!!

[DMANGUY14]

R u using distortion in this video

[brianfitzrock]

nope, no distortion. the presence on the amp might have been a bit hot, though. when i recorded this i just came downstairs and plugged into an amp and hit "record."

this was just a quick one-take that i did about an hour before it had to be uploaded haha.. i procrastinate :-p

[lokol87]

loco eres un loko de gramis

super bakan tu cosa de los foo fighters

saludos desde antofagasta

sigue tocando cosas

adios ;)

[FujiCahn]

50/5 greatness. o.ob

[umisoubi]

well if this was on a regular violin then it would suck but on the electric it kind of makes the sound more rock n' roll ish so I guess that's why he got to the finals...

[CaixaDeSol]

You are awesome! =)

[Flautist820]

i wasn't too crazy about the beginning but the rest was cool. especially the end

[EternalTearsICry]

You are amazing. o.o

The only people who say you suck obviously just have no thinking ability what so ever. >.>

[thespoken1]

its not really all that amazing...i meen the guy is good...but this doesnt sound anything like pretender....

[Lascayegis]

Each entrant had to play the first two lines of The Pretender by the Foo Fighters, and then !_improvise_! on the song for the remainder of the minute. (The video clip couldn't be longer than 60 sec)

[Gaia287]

well than nub u neer hear pretender, he played that with acurate precision and acuracy each part played with improvisation to the indvidual part of this song....

[violaluva14]

that was awesome.. kinda reminded me of barrage lol

[petubelalife]

He broke a bow hair WOW my teacher says that's good. Kool

[zebilicious12]

[Mayhem1377]

[cabinbowman]

Awesome playing!!!

[spikeydude114]

plain awesome

[jamzdude123]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sdimp]

that was insane!

ofcourse in a good way

[FreddyLovesKoko]

By the way man, you have got serious skills.

[grrrpossum]

Boring?

Skilled.

You press too hard on the strings sometimes though.

Or maybe I have my volume up too loud.

Eh, anyways, point is I hear screeching.

Other than that it was good.

And you have too much time on your hands ;D

[LeePrinceValiant]

Most violins tend to screech at some point... even professionals and virtuosos playing at speed would get screeching.

[brianfitzrock]

Thanks for the defense there, bro! The EQ on that amp didn't help ONE BIT haha. I kid you not, I just came downstairs flipped it on, turned on the camera, played this and that was it. Maybe more prep in the future, but everything worked out pretty clutch with this :)

[LeePrinceValiant]

Anytime! It's pretty damned good what came of it. A friend and I have started playing violin together and we were searching for violin music on youtube that wasn't Bach and some such cassical music because rock sounds awesome on violin ^_^ and yours was one that came up - fantastic playing.

PS hehe I'm not a 'bro' - sorry, my username's a little misleading.

[LeePrinceValiant]

Most violins tend to screech at some point... even professionals and virtuosos playing at speed would get screeching.

[FreddyLovesKoko]

I agree... violins are the old fashion kind of instrument... the ones where it takes years to be great... andexperience to be able to make a comment... without sounding a might foolish, grrrpossum. so pick up a violin or start listening to some quality music!!! rant over.

[LeePrinceValiant]

Totally agree with you. Vionlin is renowned for being one of the most difficult instruments to learn.. and it really is, speaking from experience. I play piano, guitar and violin, and violin's definitely the hardest of the three to get the hang of.

[Anatolia90105]

boring

[louielover96]

wow i cant wait to be able to play like that dont no if u ever will but gosh that was great sounded like an electric guitar lol keep it up.

[Aquitasetveritas]

gotta rate this 5 stars, that guy is really skilled

[ckallo]

That was so good. Keep up the awesome work!

[xLoveCandyx]

Good Job!! =)

[gonnarunaway2]

you need rosin
