[somegirlinoh]

Love it!

[JillyTanner]

I know we all have our own tastes in music, but how does anyone dislike this?! Adam I can only dream of playing like this someday. Appreciate your videos :)

[inimitablegeek]

I heard Rihanna did a cover of this. :P

[Tonys714]

I can tell you play a lot of Bach :) Very nice.

[sonickitty101]

Is there a name for that effect you're doing at :55? It's really cool.

[adreamercalledcarol]

you are amazing! i wish i could just sit and talk to you for hours about how you do this man, you're soooo good! haha

[adamdegraff]

@adreamercalledcarol Well, Thank you! And you caught me at a good time. I'm expanding my sheet music offerings, making lots of new videos (performance and tutorial), and looking for feedback. So get in touch with me on my Facebook page and we can chat till we're both blue in the face. I'm adamdegraff on Facebook.

[dabrigster]

fair play to him his fingers must be gone by now :P

:D

[dabrigster]

DEADLY !!!!!!



[nadiiska]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[AlexDick1991]

RESPECT!!!!!!!

[adamdegraff]

The tutorials will be up in the near future. (You should have gotten a READ ME sheet with the sheet music with some explanation.) Anyway, if you bought the music, you will automatically be sent the list of tutorial links once they are finished. (Which will be very soon!) Hope you are having fun with the music. Help is on the way ;-)

[luvs2ski1]

i bought the sheet music and it said there would be links to tutorials...do you know where those would be located?

[Francessca4ever]

I do not understand: What's up with all of the chords? Trying to show off or something? But other then that, great interpretation of the piece. Liked it! :)

[sonickitty101]

I love the effect at :55 and on.

[ThorDhahaha]

1 person couldn't find love.



[adamdegraff]

@ThorDhahaha LOL! Or maybe they just didn't like it :'-(

[dabrigster]

@ThorDhahaha u mean 2 people cant find luv

[trishaj585]

I love how you can inspire people to incorporate fantastic instruments with mainstream music, it really encourages people to play something that they have a real interest in. Thanks for the upload!!

[adamdegraff]

@trishaj585 Thanks. That means a lot!!

[luvs2ski1]

@trishaj585 amen to that.

[nikito120694]

Amazing!! I want to play the violin like you!!

[adamdegraff]

@nikito120694 You can do it!



[nikito120694]

@adamdegraff It would be incredible! I'm going to practice a lot. May be one day I will be able to play the violin like you! ;) Congratulations, I'm your fan and my father too.

Thank you to let us heard art.

[rodofinho2]

Excelente, parabéns!

[adreamercalledcarol]

I love your videos hahaha amazing, sounds almost better than the original song

[luvs2ski1]

so how do I get a hold of the sheet music?

[adamdegraff]

@luvs2ski1 Sheet music will be up tonight. Check for a link in the description section of the video. It will cost $3.99 and purchases made this week will include private links to about a dozen lessons/tutorials.

[mzrealm]

Omg you're playing the parts of 2 violins on one!

[Wishrachi]

Damn...have to start learning to improvise like him.

[Sinesperanzaninguna]

great sound... thanks for your music

[pattyfromtoledo]

I love it!

[424464]

snack881 - you're right, it is saying something - 'look at me, I'm a skilled violinist (which he's very skilled) as well as classical, I can play pop/rock too!!!'

[bassmikashira]

Another great video, Adam! I wish I could play this, but I don't have a five string. The C string really adds so much more to popular music on the violin.

[adamdegraff]

@bassmikashira I only used 4 strings :-) The deep sound is due to the great acoustics of this violin and a high quality recording.

[luvs2ski1]

@adamdegraff wow you have amazing acoustics cause the g-string sounds like a c-string. Great Job!

[y0e0r0t]

@adamdegraff Even so, I'm certain I can hear sympathetic vibrations from your fifth string which definitely add a dimension that a traditional violin couldn't bring to the table. You mention "Realist" below, who is the luthier or workshop who makes these instruments??

[jun980tube]

are you using a 5 string fiddle?

[adamdegraff]

@jun980tube That violin does happen to be a 5 string "Realist," however, I only used the regular 4 strings for this song.

[snack881]

I like the sound of the thing but I think it does say something when an obviously very skilled violinist is imitating the music of such a talentless artist.

[gsd3782]

How are you getting that tone on your violin? Any effects?

[adamdegraff]

@gsd3782 That's the sound of a "Realist" acoustic/electric violin with carefully set EQ and nice ambient reverb. No effects. Thanks for asking.
