[SambaMaquina]

beautiful !!!

[bfgcaml]

wow your amazing! how long did it take you to learn the violin since you were self taught and was it really hard??

[59BRIERBEE]

I would say something along the lines of "More Bow", but 1. i couldnt top that! 2. Altogether its pretty damn fast so i wouldnt expect it. and 3.... im not a critic. you still manage to get a very nice sound out of the fiddle! I found this video on accident, but watching in was not! Keep it ^

i don't think that more speed you play.... more musician you are....

it's harder to play slowly and nice rather than speedy....

but, you play nice.. ok!!!

go on!!

[CaptainIronhelm]

I do believe I just got a new favourite reel. Great job!

[FrantikFilms]

I just started to fiddle, and I watch this video everyday. I feel like a stalker. But I hope to be half as good as you in a few years. Great job.

[bpmiller87]

I love how at some parts he is looking directly at the camera, as if to say, " I could do this all day, are you impressed yet?" Well hell yea I am.

WOW! Thats some serious fiddling if ever I seen any.

Mastery at its finest-thanks for the privilege of hearing & watching such a piece played so well.

[newmanhaxx]

my favorite reel played awesomely

[TsukiShia]

I like the way you play with your bow.:) Thnx for sharing your music.

[pigeatinginfidel]

Why do you play all the at the end of the bow? I'm just learning so I'm nto one to question your playing style. I was just told to keep it mainly just below the middle at the balance point. It seems hard the way you played.

[flyinfiddler]

It's weird, I've got no good answer for that. It just kind of worked out that way for me. Probably a self taught thing I guess.

[AbyssalLyrist]

That's how I learned. My old fiddle teacher plays with the end mostly as well.

[insanehamster]

The fact that you're self taught just makes this even better :)

and I mean no offense (I say that since many people think being blamed for being (or actually being) self taught is a disgrace, I think it's a blessing.

Teaching yourself to play an instrument, is first of all harder, and will most likely end up in the musician having a very unique sound (which you do).

Though I will quickly add that some self taought musicians doesn't sound that well.

But you are a Hendrix on that violin ^^

[aislingxo4]

ya totally! sooo true!!xx amazing u shud b so proud!xx

[AndrewFairservice]

@pigeatinginfidel

if you play fast you automatically play at the end of the bow. that's why the irish sometimes grab the bow not at the frog but somewhere higher. has something to do with the weight....but in classical use you should be able to play fast everywhere; this way you get the different bowing techniques (spiccato, detache, martellato, etc)
