Nope, it doesn't. There is no time to think too much when playing this fast. This is all muscular memory here. On the other hand, his brain worked very hard when he was learning the piece.
@AhavaRabboh Isn't muscle memory controlled by a stored motor program in the brain? Only very simple reactions occur at the spinal cord level. Not to mention he's somewhat consciously aware of the constant proprioceptive and audible feedback, among other things. I think an MRI would show his brain being quite active.
@kingv911 Yes, it would. But, that's the subconscence in work here. As I said, he doesn't think too much when playing - it's just impossible. In fact, I think if he would start thinking too much, he would evuntually miss something. Let's say that I got it a little wrong when reading your post. I thought you were in other words saying that he is thinking when playing. Apologize.
@kingv911 almost everything about playing an instrument is muscle memory learned from lots and lots of practice. if you have ever tried to learn an instrument before you will know that you can totally and completely know how to play something but you wont be able to actually play it until your fingers can do it automatically without thinking. conscious thought can only do one thing at a time and it's just too slow.
@paintbokx I am aware. I play guitar. "Muscle Memory" is a misnomer, as the muscle itself doesn't have memory. Muscle memory is from a stored motor program in the brain that has developed for repetition and practice. Like rolling out of bed in the morning - you just do it - you don't think about it, but it is still your brain controlling it. Likewise, when playing an instrument, from the first day you learn a piece to the point you can play it without thing...brain controls.
I don't understand why people try to play a violin piece on guitar, I'm not saying that you can't, but obviously, since it was written for violin it's going to be easier for a violin to play than a guitar.
@Madog98 What is there to understand? If someone plays only one instrument (in this case guitar) why wouldn't he try to play a violin/cello/piano/... piece on it? It's still easier than start to play a new instrument completely from the beginning..
Stravinsky Petrushka,can you play with Iz.Pearlman,Vengelov Low ,Center ,High ,with decoration parts in this music as new model way as siper higher supecial music,in 3 hands or 4 hands with fame holder of S.H. or Von or super fame name as Isac Perman or Kissin wiht HiRKt .
Csual version with super ability holders, Steve Vai Vs Van Halen ,Aleks Veksler or Jessie L of guiter by 2 guiter hand and 2 violin in ths for Superior super stars making music with my art promoting ideas
@daflowerbomb I just listen to him wow is really impressive, plays the song defiantly faster than Shlomo. I still prefer this version i think is better paced.
@Reymei Mintz is great, but listen to the video of Kavakos playing that... If you haven't seen it, your mind will be blown. Maybe it will if you have already seen it too.
@SadisticMagician54 i'm not Jewish, just got some biblical instruction. but i don't think Israel was stolen from anybody, history proves it otherwise.
@SEVENTHSON89 I think it was perfect the way I said it. To say Steve Vai is not unparalleled and not ultimate as a musician (as far as human skill in the past) is something everyone who extensively understands Vai's talent can completely disagree with ;)
@MrStealthNacho Well, from playing violin 7 years, yes you have to be extraordinarily good. I mean this video is pretty much as advanced and as hard as any violin piece will ever be. Don't expect to play like this if you don't want to spend years (10-20) of hard hard work to play this

@MrStealthNacho usually its prodigies that write the stuff so unless you want to work hard then you wont have a chance cuz even prodigies need to practice to play this stuff
Amazing! It's doesn't seem humanly possible. Yet...here it is! This is the BEST performance I've heard with respect to this composition. Wow! BRAVO! BRAVO!
I have a friend who is 16 years old he has been playing violin since he was 5 he has almost learned this song if you see this live man its really awesome PS i listen to metal so for me to like this thing it is something great
Malmsteen performs this on guitar better than anyone. Becker's video for this aint bad but Yngwie plays it cleaner and faster. I seen him do it live in 2008.
@KetamineAddict I respect Yngwei but faster doesn't mean better! Violin still remains the most difficult instrument to play...and to play like in this video requires enormous talent and countless hours of practice!
this is the original version on the violin ive only seen the guitar version before and i prefer the guitar version not the steve vai one but jason beckers version its the full version and is unbelieveable jason becker beats everyone even in his ill state hes still cool
@GurleyPlaysGuitar Generally I agree, but you are forgetting something. Violin pieces are harder to play on guitar then on Violin and that's mainly because of the tuning (violin is tuned in fifths, guitar in forths exepct the 2nd string) which makes the fingering in some cases quite impossible or at least "exotic" (here I'm referring especailly on the acoustic or classical guitar). Second, the intervals (looking horizontally) on the violin strings are also much closer,etc.Running out of txt here
@AhavaRabboh have you ever try to play something on violin?? the right hand is as hard as the left hand, I mean the bow is as hard as the notes, in guitar you only do a movement of you finger (hard, soft, whatever) and thats it, you're forgetting the bow, violin pieces are harder in violin than in guitar, I play both (at least I try to haha)
@firesick1 No, I didn't. But, try to play for example BWV 1006 (Prelude) on the acoustic with a pick and at the original tempo; you will see what I mean. Take a look for example to the BWv 1004 (gigue) that Paul Gilbert covered on his last record. On some parts of this video /watch?v=UGedLS7gcT0 He's doing some errors and I never saw Paul GIlbert miss a note until this! I'm not saying that viloin is easy; I'm not so naive to think that. On the contrary, I believe that violin is harder than...
@firesick1 guitar, but I'm just saying that I think some violin pieces are harder to play on guitar then on violin itself, mainly beacuse of the reasons I wrote in the previous post.
Totally agreed. I played guitar for 4 years and violin for about 16 or so. That's a stupid comparison: which instrument is harder? Violinists say "we don't have frets!" - well, that's amazing, I actually played fretless guitar. Nothing special when you already know where to put your fingers. Etc, etc. I can play caprice 5 and 24 on guitar and violin - and I would say both are bit easier on violin but that's just me. Fast sweeping and alternate picking has pwned violin version IMO.
@guitarfreak23397 Well, obviously it is possible. I just don't agree with some people who are saying that violin is milion times harder than guitar; that's not true. Probably a little harder, yes, but milion times definitely not. I think that because guitar is so popular this days, that makes everybody think that guitar is so easy to play. On the other hand, violin is somehow mystical and rarely heard among the mass and that's why people think that violin is hard to play compare to the guitar..
@AhavaRabboh the guitar has also too many inversions to play chords. The violin doesnt have that many. Every instrument is hard if it wants to be played well really.
I just said about it in the post below. If the dificulty of violin for you is only about no frets, then there is no difficulty at all. It's just about the more time you have to spend to LEARN how to play it. Like I said, I've played violin for 16 and guitar for about 4 years AND I also played fretless one.You know, there is the time when you just don't have to look at your fretboard and that's when it actually starts not to make that huge difference for u :)
And yes, violin is harder than guitar, for sure, but not MILION TIMES. If you learn theory and focus on ear training (which are both fundamental for EVERY instrument), then the difference between instruments is only about the technique of playing and its difficulty. And at this point, like I said, no frets would be a difficulty in violin, but fast alternate picking, tremolo picking, sweep picking, tapping, string skipping - there's a guitar difficulty.
@GurleyPlaysGuitar it depends on what you do. for example arpeggios are generally easier on the piano than on the guitar. there are tons of examples but it really doesnt matter since this is music and not a competition
I can't believe there was no one in the room to applaud at the end of it! I did count his fingers and he does have the same amount as the rest of us, bloody amazing! But then again Paganini was no ordinary musician either.
continued..playing the tenor sax, and I mean playing exactly the same music in exactly the same way,except of course he would have to lay down a second track to cope with double stopping on a single line instrument and use his super technique to pull it off convicingly artistically.I am no genius but I think that his highest note is four octaves above middleC and if so that is the same as the highest note I have heard a tenor sax play except that the tenor has a bigger more defined note up there
This is the best command of the violin that I have heard to date by quite a margin, especially the sheer projection, resonance, richness of harmonics, and completeness of the sound not to mention the warmth as well, and this is only the sound,technically, although not nearly so important to myself personally,one can forgive a lot if the sound is larger than life, but in this case the sound and the technique are evenly matched like everything else. I would love to see, Shlomo get as excited about
"Paganini is said to have been able to play it on one string, but there is no evidence to support or refute this." - as quoted from the Wikipedia article about Paganini's 5th Caprice. I guess that man was just that monstrous, even being able to play such a piece as technique-requiring as this one on just one string. o.O

I can't believe there was no one in the room to applaud at the end of it! I did count his fingers and he does have the same amount as the rest of us, bloody amazing! But then again Paganini was no ordinary musician either.

continued..playing the tenor sax, and I mean playing exactly the same music in exactly the same way,except of course he would have to lay down a second track to cope with double stopping on a single line instrument and use his super technique to pull it off convicingly artistically.I am no genius but I think that his highest note is four octaves above middleC and if so that is the same as the highest note I have heard a tenor sax play except that the tenor has a bigger more defined note up there

This is the best command of the violin that I have heard to date by quite a margin, especially the sheer projection, resonance, richness of harmonics, and completeness of the sound not to mention the warmth as well, and this is only the sound,technically, although not nearly so important to myself personally,one can forgive a lot if the sound is larger than life, but in this case the sound and the technique are evenly matched like everything else. I would love to see, Shlomo get as excited about

"Paganini is said to have been able to play it on one string, but there is no evidence to support or refute this." - as quoted from the Wikipedia article about Paganini's 5th Caprice. I guess that man was just that monstrous, even being able to play such a piece as technique-requiring as this one on just one string. o.O
