  • nice!

  • That looks and sounds awkward.

    

  • @lehnerma I had only been playing for 3 years then!

  • 7/10.

  • from pa in the usa vary good

  • Gael = Kiss?... Sounds a great! Left-handed even!

  • very good

  • This is very good, but a left-handed violin really really really looks uncomfortable :|

  • @24DJF It actually feels like the most natural thing to me as I am left handed. It actually makes sense that the hand that is used for intricate work such as writing should also be used for the intricate use of the bow!

  • лошара)))

  • You play it too fast! Slow down ant it'll be perfect ;)

  • thats so ccool.

    i had heard about left hand violins,

    this my first actually seeing one being played

  • Is the video reversed?

  • @justsmilehomie Nope! I am playing a left-handed violin. Opposite side!

  • i wrote my own song inspired by the last of the mohicans theme called Native American Ballad. But when you hear my playing the violin in Native American Ballad, it's really on a keyboard... def can't play like that, so i just took the easy way out LOL :-) great job and great song!

  • @GPhillyMusic Cool, can I hear it?

  • This just shows that Canada is superior.

  • @BLOXmation Why thank you!

  • @BLOXmation Thanks!

  • I'm going to follow the "OMG A LEFT HANDED VIOLINIST" trend and say... WOW! A left-handed violinist! I've only ever seen one other before... I'd like to try it some day :D Well done!

  • its a scottish tune and there are a lot of scots in canada so the flag is alright 

  • I'd like it better if you didn't have the Canadian flag!

  • @Dlp17 I was feeling quite patriotic back then!

  • Your piece was awesome. Where can I find the sheet music?

  • @andrew1zy Unfortunately, I have not seen the sheet music anywhere! I learnt it by ear. I'll try to post a video showing people how to play it!

  • wonderfull playing of a beautiful piece of music.

  • pulgar parriba

  • never seen a left handed violin! nice!

  • Oh my god... It looks so wrong... O.o

  • well done buddy. you made my day but please post full music video. it was only half the trach. oh and nice sweater !

  • @Bradleyharrogate Thanks, I'm working on the full video!!

  • i'm mix handed and don't play any musical instrument, personally just feel that it's much easier to play guitar/violin using left-hand, besides, left-handed guitarist/violinist look much cooler! ^0^

  • double like!

  • Flawless!......Just kidding this was far from it

  • there exists left hand violins too? stunning

  • good job man. i'm 23, just picked up violin and someday hope to be able to play this song

  • @bklassen1 You can do it!! I also started when I was 22..and played it when I was 25!

  • man nice sweater.

  • @THEjackel4545 Thanks!!

  • Canadian are the best lol

  • @PianistaBianca Thanks!!

  • Where can you get left handed violins? Same place you get left handed baseball bats.

  • This is pretty good. I thought that every third note was a staccato though.

  • think so too!

  • when I was 7 my parents bought me a violin

    and I hated it ..I have total respect for people like u who can make it look soo easy... good job..mr Ronin is right , but u still deserve props.

  • @dangermous1968 Thanks!!

  • great left hand violin playing. it's a great song.

  • i dont care wat other people think but that was VERY good. and ive never seen a left handed violin.

  • @hprubix Thanks a bunch! I played left handed guitar before starting the violin, so I told myself why not continue with the same fretting hand?

  • @hprubix Thanks a bunch!

  • Umm.... can you go slow...

  • A LEFT HANDED violin?! AMAZING! I'm left handed and have always wanted to learn, but I'm too left handed to get the hang of the bow.

  • Are you Canadian?

  • @donalduck815 Yes I am!

  • @donalduck815 Yes I am!

  • you should pratice more mate !

  • @eltrance538 Thanks for the advice, I practice as much as I can!!

  • MAY BE BETTER

  • @Mr00Miguel00 Unfortunately, I learned it by ear!

  • @Mr00Miguel00 Unfortunately, I learned it by ear!

  • @Mr00Miguel00 Unfortunately, I learned it by ear!

  • have you put the strings on the other way around?

  • @alinaskaiser Nope, it came like it is!

  • @alinaskaiser Nope it came that way!

  • not bad

  • Hurray for us lefties! We must defend ourselves against the negative righties!! :D

  • @angelica319 Yes we should!!!

  • @angelica319 Yes we should!

  • it sounds out of tune

  • Really cool and great job!

  • @RawPower7 Thanks!

  • where can you get left handed violins.

  • i dont think its left handed. it might be the video picture flipped

  • it si because the computer on the right and the mouse setup all look to be right. So I think it is left-handed

  • they are the same thing just put it on the other shoulder! or maybe if that messes you up you could resting it backwards that would be hard

  • Cheers for lefty violinists!

  • he's not messing up he's just slurring give him a break

  • deja de tirar al gato del rabo coño

  • that's not the kiss...

  • hahhahhahahaahha gagagagagagaga

  • left-handed plays better

  • OH!!! A left-handed violinist!!

  • GO CANADA !!!

  • nice jop dude!

  • @chrisbasilreed Thanks!

  • no mames wey tocas de la verga el pinche violinn y esta cancion es una belleza la echaste a perder wey ojala y te demande el pinche compositor de esta cancion..jejeje my dear canadian friend you are a shame for the music I recomend you to listen first this song after this take some lessons and after this think twice before upload your video jejejeje

  • Any of you sad little sacks of indigestible McDonalds processed cheese food and concentrated coca-cola syrup slag want to cowboy up and put on the big boy pants, feel free to click that link over there on the right labeled "post a video response" and show us all that you really are more than your component impacts on reality: feces, urine, entitlement, petty hate, and therapy bills.

    Bust out that instrument of your choice and show us how it is done.

  • pitchy... too pacey... you sweater is a joke... don't add your own notes until you can hit the right ones... practice

  • The sweather kicks, you fuck.

  • suck it

  • Why dont you guys give him a break? Yea his sweater is pretty bad, and yea the music is pretty off too, but it aint easy and hes probably learning and tryin his best- he didnt force you to watch his video - you chose to, so why dont you all stop being so negatively judgemental and critical and go and concentrate on doing or creating something constructive of your own? instead of being so concerned about what other people are failing at? Exactly what are you all expertly proficient at anyway?

  • I did offer constructive criticism ... I just added a rip about his sweater.

    I am proficient in awesome, so I know whats good and what needs work. This needs a lot of work. Bluebs

  • @ArnoldsElite Thanks man!! I only started learning at 22. I love Christmas sweaters haha. It's old school! But great comment!

  • Sweet sweater dude lol .... not!

  • Mate you need to sit down and listen to how this piece is supposed to be played. This is not classical music it's traditional Gaelic music, a Scottish piece in this instance. There's no feeling or passion in your playing.

  • By the way I thought Gaelic was Irish and that scottish music was infact Celtic, but there we are. And I should imagine it is difficult to show passion at a skill when you are still in the learning stages of the skill you are attempting.

  • Comment removed

  • its ok........but....u should slow it down

  • practice more before putting on a movie on you tube ... IDIOT

  • Luckily I don't play guitar or violin, otherwise I won't know where to find a left-handed string instrument for me. =.=

  • Slow it down...really.

  • i though i was the only one who played left handed violin, right on xD!

  • The others are saying you need practice and I agree, but I'll be more specific. I think you need to slow down and relax. Take your time, get the ornamentation/grace notes down pat and learn to have a "relaxed firmness". This comes with time and practice, but you're definitely getting there. Keep going!

  • U need a lot more practice..... SORRY

  • I agree. But still, a Violin is difficult to play...at least my harsichord pops our the single notes correctly XD

  • i know im just saying u need a little more practice, but ur ok.....ive seen better though....sorry, but ur sorta goodd...dont take it the wrong way or anything. im a violinst and im telling u the truth,

  • major oops? I'm not the one playing...just a random youtube user :X  ^^ Anyway, I know what you mean. (besides, is there recently some problem with youtube placing comments in the wrong place, eg not under the comment they referr to?)

  • where can i find a left handed violin?

  • you can find them on ebay regularly. make sure it was MADE to be lefty. Just swapping the strings& bridge won't do it. the sound post and what not inside need to be in the right spot aswell.

    Many on ebay are low quality though. go for a gilga if your willing to spend a fair amount for a good one.

    if you need a lower price try one of the $80 ones always around on ebay and take it to a luthier (String instrument builder) and have them rework it. typically they will sound poorly until reworked.

  • You really need alot more practice Im afraid!

  • muy bueno loco se nota que es super dificil una masa segui asi

  • I thought that tune is called The Gael?

  • respect

  • Left-handed person? How pretty, my congratulations! I adored this music, you touches very well!

  • Very good! Are you a left handed? How did u make a right handed violin to LH? Was your teacher a righthanded? Sorry about so many questions im just a LH and i want to lear LH violin, but teacher says i should learn RH violin becoz it will be dificult to teach me =(

  • Don't do it!

    You're timing is controlled by your dominant hand. You will be better if you play as a lefty. I'm a lefty guitarist, once you learn to read stuff backwards you adapt quickly

  • awesome!! just one mistake but keep it up bro..

  • ratched

  • You should have practiced more before making a video. Your laziness is a great disrespect to the score... Maybe you just suck, but im trying to be positive. "Anything worth doing is worth doing right"-Hunter S. Thompson.

  • ...i'm a left-handed violinist too...

  • Yes, it's a hard piece, but train more!

  • well done!

  • good job

  • Es muy difícil de tocar, practica más ;)

  • Well done, a bit more practice. :)

    Great stuff, I know you played faster for the recording but keep it slow, you know this, sorry ;p

  • you look like david boreanaz

  • No he doesn't

  • Not enough notes...too many pitch problems.

  • nice try pal...

  • hey where did you get the music for the last of the mohicans

  • trop vite et y'a des erreurs

  • I think, Doctor Hannibal Lecter eat you on dinner !!!

  • ok do you say that to everyone!

  • relax, play its slower. this is not a powerplay odd-man rush.

  • GOOD NICE..you are not bad

  • Agreed, also you might wanna take your watch off before you play. I know whenever I play I can't get any flexibility out of my bowing wrist with a watch on. But don't worry it's still good and you've got great technique with your left hand and bowing, just needs a few tweaks here and there. I liked it still though.

  • sloppy, too fast, squiqy, too many slurs, linsen to the movie and go slower! I CAN PLAY THAT SONG BETTER!

  • Do you have the music for this on paper? I am looking for it and can't find it anywhere. Please let me know if you do.

  • shut up....this guy is surely not proffessional, he does his hobby. he's not perfect, although he does well. and you come to say what ?? you are hiding behind your computer's anonimity and say "I can play that song better". if you can post a video repsonse to see if you are better and rate your try. until then, shut up and stop saying vague bullshits. let's applaud this guy's try.

  • @pacificstudioskct Thank you very much!!!

  • nice try,, but needs more perfection.

  • grows

  • that is pretty good but i noticed that you were a little sharp and flat durring the slurs. but other than i realy liked it

  • WOW! :O

  • That looks crazy hard!

  • o.O

  • Nice play, keep on working!

  • can uplzzzzzzzzz give me note of this .or wat should i do to find notes........

  • The notes are Dm, C and F, an repeats all along the song. There is another version tuned this way: Am, G and C.

  • thank u for help but i didnt get it u know coz i need proper notes with all those symbols of note

  • che ti ha fatto???...perchè hai ucciso la canzone????

  • Where did you find the sheet music? I need it for an upcoming gig.

  • nonononon.....xk devo vomitare...mmmmmmmmm....nonono­nnoooooooo

  • they make leftie violins?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • Canadian Pride!!

  • A LEFTIE!!!!!! :)  wow!!! i feel proud

  • YAY CANADA!!

    ...ur playing was amazin too...

  • bro that was so sick i wish i could do that! i can sorta play it on the guitar but its much better like this. You could prob clean this up a little bit but still sounds sick

  • pretty good

  • wow! left handed violin!  that's so weird! lol... but cool

  • kemençe mi keman mı belli değil..!

  • It is truely to slur like that. I call irish or celt style. Feel free to correct me if they are two different things. Please, I don't feel like looking it up.

  • ruim pra caralho, precisa melhorar

  • man thats sounded like a peacock being strangled.

  • Um no it doesn't and if you happened to know anything about violin then you'd know how hard it is to slur like that. And he probably picked this out by ear so finding the way the bow goes is pretty damn hard.

  • I think he did very well.

  • hey thanks, it's true..done by ear!

    It's rather hard to pick out the bowing pattern, although maybe someone familiar with irish fiddling (of which I am not really) could!

  • I know! I was picking it out yesterday and it was so hard! I learned by the Suzuki method so I can't read very well and it is extremely hard trying to find a bow pattern that works. You did really good!!!

  • poor

  • QuaresmanGFB u do one then

  • That hair reminds me to Daniel Boone ! Nice, but...poor violin :(

  • men, left handed violins can play at orchestras?. Cause any problems on other violinist?. i want to start viola but i cant find anyone lefty :(

  • It sounds nice. Think it's a hard song to play on the violin (dunno anything about violins, but i could imagine..) Keyboard must be a lot easier.. Well done.
