[imhissuperhero]

[mamonsin]

[catapei]

my friend's girlfriends are like violins.... i turn my face and rub my stick :D

[mizzmusicthief]

[MumsBallet]

I love listening to you play, still years on.

[jmadkins333]

Lovely, haunting.

[gamer3425]

I do my improvs the same way..................I can play pretty much anything by ear, so I just improv over stuff....Nice to see a fellow violinist.

[ungusfungus]

Please, make some more improv's like this. Thumbs up if you agree he should do some more.

[goatsrock03]

if i played violin, this is how i would play... i just love improvising over other music, especially if its emotional and ballad-like

[BarefootOnRoof]

i think it's good and romantic_)))))

[1vovka]

very very nice

[tatianahowarddotcom]

wow.luv it...wanna play like that..heidi

[xnayrux]

Wonderful playing but I think its the eyebrow in the beginning that gets me :3 sexy.

[compmaster9]

where could i download this song i .i..i....love it it brings tears too my eyes

[TheArtofLivingg]

All your missing is the horns and the rear end of a goat. ;)

[TheShamroqDude]

Wow, that's so COOL!! Hey you should be called "The Naked Fiddler" like they have in NYC The Naked Cowboy cuz he plays his guitar in the middle of the street in his underwear wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots...LOL

[DistortedJaz]

I bought your cd, bach mozart vivaldi and more but i much prefer stuff like this, are you going to have this kind of stuff on a cd that i can buy ?

[Tukuklan]

damn, sounds amazing man it inspires the creativity

[guyincognito84]

Hey man...which key and in what position are you playing in?

[06cornej]

@guyincognito84 he appears to be playing in D Major, if my perfect pitch is working properly, and position is changing a lot. Mostly 1st and 3rd though.

[777User]

Jimi hendrix of the violin...

[serpensorthia]

@777User Naaa you got to watch Ben Chan. Damn what a violinist !!

[asolubeN]

wow............



[Lipsnx4u]

Beautiful music ! I enjoyed this piece. Thank you, for posting.

[MaximumZomboff]

Спасибо! Очень красиво получилось! Мне нравится такая импровизация!

[mina8596]

Dude that was really good! Awesome improvising :D

[singinginachurch]

I have just heard beauty personified.

[AlecW1234]

Dude... are you like an ambidextrous player? I saw another video of your playing left handed. Unless that was a mirror...?

Because that would be... just crazy if you can do both.

[loveless005]

you could totally sell this to a movie or something you should be one of those people who makes music for movies and commercial and stuff you really have talent

[Dkid145]

beautiful sound

[herobydefault1]

You are fantastic. I love your improv, you are very very talented.

[19qp19]

i hate it

[Skymt]

Awesome! You have excellent skills!

Naked male violin player... You kinda remind me of the mythological creature the Neck. :-)

(From Wikipedia: The Scandinavian näck, nøkk, strömkarl,[5] Grim or Fosse-Grim were male water spirits who played enchanted songs on the violin, luring women and children to drown in lakes or streams.)

[antoinettechuaheyia]

hahaha nice

[sarah1of4]

=0 beautiful!

[toplessmalemusicians]

i just favorited your vid. : ) nice performance

[123StellaMarie]

[Lolaxas]

Hehe, you're good, fun to listen to, good looking also..

I have to ask, why are you shirtless in most your videos?

Not that I don't like!

Just wondering if this is just the way you do it ...

[kbdimple7]

woah. great!

[feffafeffa]

è il tuo stile metterti a petto nudo per suonare il violino???

un modo sexy di interpretare la musica !!!mah

[orchestral27]

[lucasbittini]

[lucasbittini]

Tnk men! :))))))

[left4deaf]

its captavative

[robojones]

fucking brilliant... get your rat out

[VampireAuditions]

You're in my favorites.

[voidCaptain]

Nice job. It evoked some nice emotions, longing, dreaminess, and then a touch of excitement toward the end. Like climbing slowly out of a dream.

[FireflyFlame]

All musicians should play topless. Mama like. :^)

[eline2007SunlessSky]

Sounds great!

What music is it on the background?

Could you tell me where I can get it, cause I play the violin too, and I would like to try it by myself, on the same background music ^^

[RyanTheAdvocate]

he said he improvised on some basic music he sequenced up, I wanted to know if he could get me some sheet music of that.

[nickrose83]

Who gives a shit if he has no shirt on i mean wtf? Beautiful piece mate.

[Swifteagle]

How does one come to this world?

Shirt or no shirt, he played very well...

[RyanTheAdvocate]

can you please send me the sheet music?

[ff7don]

is this is improv there is no sheet music. improv means no sheet music he makes it up as he goes along

[hevalan]

could not you find a shirt?

[spaceshipable]

i dont think he owns one but w/e cos he's pretty good tbh

[tjchep]

Could you not complain? :)

Sublime playing mate, really great stuff.

[nate4495]

[cogermax91]

[eddiequest4]

Hmmm - I just checked you out. You HAVE been recording. I just bought your CD. Can't wait to hear it.

[eddiequest4]

You best get into the recording studio, if you have not done so already. Your talent MUST not go unheard. GREAT STUFF.

[WowDudeFilms]

yuo're great man. Wow man, you need to lighten up on yourself. What do you mean its not perfect? You always say that in the description but its amazing. You got skill. SERIOUS FUCKIN SKILL!

[Thamer4life]

[kino261988]

[oak3drum]

[soybrianda69]

so beautiful  (L)

[nancymmv]

[inricheetos]

[FERRETMAN9]

inricheetos that is the funniest comment i have seen in like the past few days (and i see LOTS of comments)

[kuningaskosmos]

why not?

[rbaleksandar]

[vhfuong]

[qwerwtf]

Never was a big fan of the voilin....... um....I've changed my mind.. ultra fantastic

[tinkertracy]

Wow, this is fantastic! but only 4 and a half minutes? I thought you would go on for another 10 minutes, the way the music was building :)

Seeing you without your shirt reminds me how damn hot it is for you there... it takes me back to my performing days during hot summers.

It's a reminder to everyone -- "See how hot it is? Imagine 90 degrees while listening to this song (32'C)" ... Then it really adds to the atmosphere of the song, heh.

Thanks for the inspiring and relaxing music.

[ericgable]

Wtf the fuck do u always take ur shirt off no one dont wantr to see ur damn bird chest lmao.

[do2it2do2it]

[detourediavalo]

[SamR707]

ur music is so pure & sensational

[apanikka]

Exceptional stuff!! what kind of pickup do you use for the violin?

[Jatara1]

You've got a lotta soul. Your playing really speaks to the heart. Stay inspired!

[xoxotriangle]

You are one crazy guy. I love the fact that you're self-taught. If you were, you'd probably be too boring, anyway. Don't listen to anyone who says to do it their way. :] you're by far one of the best.

I just have one question: what violin do you use? And if you don't mind me asking, how much was it? It sounds so beautiful and versatile.

[SongAndGum]

Vraiment très très beau ! Je suis fan ! :)

[Drahcir1961]

Very, very Nice! Loved it!

[Tjiekaah]

Feels like meditation watching you. So sexy in every way, haha!

[kaliazzura]

I could so hear this as a movie soundtrack - it's brilliant!

Do you need any vocals for it?

[brgtb]

Awesome!!! Another Favorite!!

[maplesquirrel]

You are absolutely excellent on the violin! Wow!

[microphon3]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[swexina]

Mmm, that rough, lonley guitar sound lingering along that soft background music with all that passion. Im happy you exist while you play...

Tho i must ask - why this need to play naked? Pfft. You wanna be the modern fosse-grim? ;)

[microphon3]

I always wonder if he's wearing pants, FINALLY someone has finally let me in on the secret. He is NEKKID!

[futtycows]

Just so you know....He is only naked on his top half. He lives in Australia and he's told people countless times that he plays without his shirt because it's really hot over there or something like that.

[mdepfl]

ACE! Now make more videos... immediately!

[SirDarkAuron]

Awesome

[carbonatedpaint]

You've returned!

Absolutely amazing. I'm somewhat jelous.

Phenominal. My favourite of yours, are your looped playover videos. But this is just as great.

[Syphen88]

man... seriously... I *cannot* understand why you're not sponsored by some record label, at very minimum you should at least be doing music for movies or video games. "Get a manager" ;-)

[SoarinKitty]

Oh wow.. I was swept away from the very first note. So much, in fact, that I had to retype "wow" three times to get it right because I was listening so intently. It sounds amazing. Absolutely amazing. An incredible sound. <3

[t300zx842]

where are you from, your absolutely amazing

[MyAsmodai]

Always awesome.

You need to release an album so I can buy it! :P

[ggvidales]
