@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!
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!
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!
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^
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.
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?
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.
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!
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?)
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.
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 =(
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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!!!
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.
