[Crimsonwlf22]

This man is a violin god!

[imhissuperhero]

Loving the hair, Retaw!

[TheVelieronero]

jim morrison dei poveri

[BlackStar8]

put a shirt on!

[dvice003]

Molested Tango @ its FINEST!!!

[ledormant]

Good music and sexy musician !

[chickmarcy]

Damn dude! Damn gotta take lessons from you

[rococoness]

EPIC

[theBliaN]

what do u have to buy to make your violin sound like that 1:05 

[alexie28]

@theBliaN i'm pretty sure you need a distortion pedal like what guitarists have

[theBliaN]

@theBliaN i have that but how do you plug it into the violin?? His violin looks like a regular one

[kschiavo]

yeah, who cares for guitarrists these days? l want to see someone play that shit

[profesorpepe]

Man, I´m argentinian also, and I never, never thought to live to see La Cumparsita being played by a naked man. Son, did you hear about fans, air conditioning, cooling fans, wind blowers? Appart from, good version, played with feeling, passion. Congrats.

[MrMigue45]

sexy

[rosenna67]

very inspirated! excellent!

[badbass6660]

Nothing wrong with being naked, and even better that he's a total cutie, and can shred on violin!!!

[rosenna67]

fantastic!

[cotccot]

and so why again ure naked?

[elatu]

Oh, btw, I love the laugh at the end

[elatu]

Muy bien, excelente versión, me gusto mucho esta versión rockera de este clásico del tango.

Saludos desde Buenos Aires

Very good, excelent version, I really like this rocker version of this classic theme of tango.

Greetings from Buenos Aires.

[Gommaq]

The revenge of the naked violinist!

[777danid]

hot 

[Cooliboyi358]

wow! super!!!

[illllipo]

it will be more cool if we had just violin's sound :)

[sefirotico]

but...i play violin with left hand XD

[toodance]

replay, replay!!

loved it

(have a feeling pants might be missing along with shirt L :O L)

[Ir0nMaidenFan666]

good music but hard to watch due to the reverse image.

[bladye118]

u can play by any hand...?

[movescamp8]

There's something unique and profound going on here.  You're pushing the boundaries in "your" way, without the superficial stage performance that makes this so beautiful, being off-stage...Raw.

[MrSlowskie]

sweet

[Ktulu789]

Well, this is not tango becuase of the percussion and distortion but what the hell, you play like madness!

Keep it up!

Pretty damn well interpretated!

Virtuoso! Cheers from Buenos Aires!

Ps: I don't like percussion in tango as tango is fully rythmic and percussion IMHO is in the melody itself.

[bluejewel75]

just awesome!

[lizknickerbocker]

you are so cool! i have one of those adapter things on my violin too! now you got me all inspired and what not. :P

[Thevideogamer2734]

Hey, im trying to learn La Cumparsita to play for my grandmother who is in the hospital. this is her fav tango so could you please send me a copy of your version message me and ill give you my email. thanks!!!!!

[kejobo]

Incredible! You are Pan, aren't you?

[DerRocker96]

[DeltaX6]

''Its a tengo that i've molested'' haha, i aggre Retaw :) This was good x)

[bunnyboy999]

Holy s*** that was so amazing i havent played violin since i was 10 but iv just gone out and bought one because of you im now 34 !!! hope you keep posting you rock!

[archeraxdg]

whoa! left handed?

yeah keep your shirt off just kidding.

great la cumparsita!

[JRoque250]

He's ambidextrous: he can both amaze you with his playing and freak you out by being shirtless.

[MrMaximoreno]

Exelente...¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡..  Saludos desde Argentina...

[Butternut121]

Major Awesome!!

[milkmanmoo36]

that was amazing, im stunned.

[AuldViolin]

Yeah Retaw!! I'm a huge youtube fan...How about a lesson? I live in Hawaii brah, you can leave your shirt off all day long. Aloha

[Depalla]

nash))

[getmewildO2]

nice music... wear some clothes..

[owlet1963]

getmewild... focus on the MUSIC, trust me, you will not notice any longer that he is shirtless.

[CaixaDeSol]

Why? He's so nice to look at and listen to. (=

[dania1988]

UR AMAZING!

[lenoiretleblanc02]

[j227894]

[bootyyyluver]

[handre1]

Wow, I've just noticed that's a left-handed violin!!!

[QwartetGizycko]

left handed violin? it's a image mirror on webcam :)

[onlineangel100]

Great music, I hope you're getting paid for your gigs...you really need to buy a couple of shirts..; )

[ttryl09]

A tango that you've molested! I absolutely love that description! LOL Great job though. I really like your tone

[Irish5699]

Greetings from Poland

you are fantastic and you have a beautiful smile

[musiqaltube]

cool, but man u should allocate more time to eating food, humans need food as much as music, and if u lose any more weight u will end up fiddling with ur rib cage lool. anyway , wonderful music.

[seegoz]

U deserve 10 thumbs up ..not just 2 !!!!!

maaaaan .. this was waaaaaaaaaaay toooooo gooood :D

[tico7895]

You it is the lucifer...kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

very very well @@

you study very much time for this.!!!kkkkkkk

in the true,you is crazy...^^

congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[eddiequest4]

I certainly agree with cinnamonkid - Relentlessly AWESOME.

Just curious tho, Are you ambidextrous?

[solomtb727]

this is epic on so many levels

you sir, are an inspiration.....albeit, a nearly naked inspiration....but an inspiration nonetheless

[cogermax91]

yes ,i adore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BrokenDreamer]

This song is so sexy :D

[ladyMandrake]

why are you always naked ?

[owlet1963]

I have a slight suspicion he does that on purpose, to be able to tell who concentrates on his music and who has a wandering mind. ;) but I also have the certitude that he will not be doing it any longer when he is 70 years old, THAT would be worth a comment! enjoy the guy's talent amyway!

[mediavaleria]

Bello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LeeEustaq]

Are you naked?

[cinnamonkid]

Brilliante ! Magnifico!! Awesomundo !!

Breaky my Hearto -- such talent !!!

Heck I'd pay for an Encore even !!

Unteathered strings and body and soul !!

All I wait for now is an Album, or a phone call---heh heh !!

Nah ! you ain't that cheesy-huh? haha

Relentlessly AWESOME DUDE!!! Thanks!

[Shankaraknightwolf]

Ok, it's official, you're my god.

[starmondX]

sweet

[iplehguitar]

i think the camera just flips the picture because his lowest string is on top, like how a normal person would play it

and people play on their right shoulder regardless of their "handiness"

[ciroac30]

you use distortion?

[betchslappu]

Marry me please... & maybe your violin skillz can rub of on mee! lmao jk..

[nyrstein]

BTW, you can also borrow my clothes if you need.

[nyrstein]

Dude, stop it. You're making me jealous. And inspired. Mixed emotions! Must . .. practice . .. can't . .. breathe.

haha--seriously tho you are totally awesome.

Come to New York City!!! You can surf my couch.

[MetallicaBigestfan]

[hellpattrol]

[exigentrevolution]

And I'm a guy.

You've got the X Factor :D

[Aristodemos24]

lol wow, dont.. post that on youtube k.. its called "messaging" or sometin idk..

[exigentrevolution]

Yeah I know that has to be the most explicit comment ever.

Dude I didn't even say anything lewd or anything...what's your problem?

[Aristodemos24]

sorry didn't mean to say anything mean, just got bored that day, and started commenting anything weird i could come up with.

[exigentrevolution]

Dude next time you get that bored, go outside or something. I promise it's like 100x more fun and at least 100000x more fulfilling.

[vilbenatti]

bravo!!!!

[sinharvivetempt]

right hand? o.o

[Twahboxx808]

I have officially subscribed.

this is my favorite composition by you.

[gransmasher]

Most likely, this is the greatest video I've seen in youtube. Also, it is the only one with no bad comments I've seen up this point of my life.

Nunca había visto un violín electro acústico

[jaejunha]

i still dont understand why you dont have more than 100 k views!! u r damn good dammit lol

[Sylfira]

Wow with the right hand u're good

[amandasch73915]

[toothbrush3996]

Wow. You have restored my faith in musicians.

It made me shake a couple of times.

[falconeyes123]

you have an interesting vibrato. mine is not as fast and you tend to slide around. it keeps a lot of musical interest, keep it up

[ddviolinist]

Love it~

[bellonabee]

He's half naked because he's in australia and he's right handed, the video just wasn't flipped.

[badcitoh]

[qwertyuiwee23]

[TsukiShia]

[cachololongo]

nadi se ha fijado que coge el violin con la diestra, y en el resto de videos con la zurda?!

no es por poner en duda la autenticidad, pero si realmente es veridico...este hombre es un maestro.

[Ragezort]

Simplemente debió inventir la posición de la captura.

[JaimeElvis]

Great!!! Thank you again, Retaw, for cheering up my day......

[Keyuntou]

WoW!

In this world there are people like me who do not posses an instrumental talent so that we can appreciate that we have people like you to share this earth. It was amazing and I wish I knew how to play violin. Keep inspiring.

[jeredelujan]

flaco me dejaste mudo, senti exactamente lo que quisiste transmitir, esa mezcla de bronca, angustia y pasion, la verdad, no se que decir, salvo bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

[kramotakra]

[kiluiy]

[clumsyboii]

WOW is all i can say....

[finisquo]

(Esta vez tu imagen se refleja en el espejo, nadie podria tocar tan diestramente con ambas manos.)

[mathfreak123]

Did you shoot this at a mirror or somehow reverse your video?

[bloozman32323]

Bravisimo. I admire anyone that can make a tango sound like Metallica.

[guitaristflo]

one word: gobsmacking.

[Kumith]

You're amazing! So awesome!

[MenchiLove]

[Krisenaa]

[ggvidales]

[JaimeElvis]

Hey, Retaw...I am one of your biggest fan from Perú..introduced you to all of my friends....They all think you are great....

[248296]

You can tell he's playing on his right shoulder. You can tell by the chin rest.

[xxxSparklesxxx]

Have you flipped the video, or do you actually play on your right shoulder?! xxx

[viomast]

I'm a violin player too but what effects do u use for distortion?

[Retaw]

Guitar rig by N.I.
