  • lol Monsieur Skull XD

  • Oh My GLOB!!!! That was REAL!!! I know because Ben Chan is AWESOME-SAUCE and he could definetly do that if he wanted to!

  • y aqui es cuando uno llora :(

  • @36554024 some words of advice, try to speak English on the international YouTube

  • @darth62969 try learn spanish.... bitch

  • @36554024 don't want to, I'm learning french. would like to learn Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek Latin etc. Spanish is like 10th on that list. that is mainly because i hate the illegal aliens that are coming over to my beloved country. and i am not saying that you are and I'm not saying that i hate Mexico or the other Latin country's. i actually encourage people to come to this country LEGALLY.

    PS English is a bitch

  • @darth62969 ok... no problem...but I think the Spanish language is also a good .. because it is a very complete language .. just try it

    can you say "child" of 15 different ways :D

    PS: i'm Mexican.. and me too hate the illegals :)

  • @36554024 no offense intended

  • what are you playing in this video ?

    sorry if my english is bad, i'm from Argentina and i learn english only on school.

    your talent is unique ben, bye

  • its fake i could tell cause i can play this and thoses r not right fingerings

  • @matrixak99 There isn't a "right" set of fingering that everyone has to follow for any piece; anyone is allowed to have their own fingering that they're comfortable with. The video is obviously real-time; it's evident at the end, just as one of the top comments said.

  • @matrixak99 Or u mad cus u bad at playing it?

  • FINGER SWAG

  • aaaaaaw. did you say: ah...scheiße???

  • @BeautifulVampiire hab auch scheiße verstanden xD

  • @BeautifulVampiire i think he said jeez :D you know, from jesus :)

  • Real, I don't see any editing on it.

  • Is that a camera with metronome? ._.

  • o.o -blink- Is that a metronome???? I've never seen one like that

  • the cam cant follow his fingers

  • My computer couldn't even keep up with him, I had to pause it for like a minute before my computer would show it with LITTLE lag

  • THAT's a reallyy fast tempo and he plays 10 notes per beat damnn... @ the end hes like goshhh damnn

  • seriously thtz rlly amazingly REAL

    i just cant believe my eyes

    WOW :O

  • yeah that's real

  • real

  • Obviusly Real, is the Partita #3 Bach, like Nathan Milstein or the Master Jascha Heifetz , Super coool!!

  • It's real just because.

  • hell thats real

  • kyaahh real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • REAL. if it were fake/ sped up, the metronome would have also sped up a lot

  • BE MY TEACH PWEEZ

  • REAL IDK XD

  • good

  • REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • A good reason to marry Beh Chan. 

  • real

  • Reallllllll

  • real

  • maybe it is real according to his hand moves on the cords :)

  • 22 people think its fake

  • 22 people think Ben Chen is a phony

  • real.

  • At first I thought it was fake, but then at the end when you moved away from the camera, it was smooth. Accompanied by hearing your normal voice and the metronome staying the same, this has to be real. It's UNreal, but it isn't fake. That's for sure.

  • guys...guys this is real because come on this is Ben Chan. Have u not senn his other videos?

  • Fake, title says video editing at its best after all...

  • 1,000% fake. The violin is bobbing in an unatural manner. I stake my 30 year career on it.

  • HAX!!!!!

  • Damn!

  • Well, technically, as an music producer, you CAN speed up a peace AND keep the original timbre and pitch, depending on what you use. However, I have firm faith that this man is the real deal. It's not impossible to play the violin as fast as him or faster. Those who say that he's faking are just jealous because the lack the talent or patience to practice.

  • reall :D

  • um guys have you seen his other vids? He is just great at fast pieces so I think this is real. I mean it's not impossible.

  • this sucker is not fooling anyone

    

  • well, I do video editing for years already, since i started i don't believe anything i see besides live shows.... it's no big deal to do such a clip and it should be fake...

  • Dude I love your hands!

  • 0:24 ... sagt er da "scheiße!" ? :D

  • wait a minute he is straight because he got married to a girl not to long ago anyways Ben you are a very talented person all the best and do not pay attention to all those jealous people all the best with your music and to all ladies out there remember this anyone whom plays a cord instruent will know how to please you well with his fingers dont forget that :)

  • @totola69 instrument *

  • Partita 3 in E major by J.S. Bach. Nice choice!

  • Ridiculous comment. Talent has nothing to do with the sexual orientation. There are great musicians both hetero and gay.

  • @dosergiobr it's meant to be the opposite of the trolling term: "fake and gay"

  • @rivengle Thanks for explaining me, so it was just cultural differences, in my country there isn't such a expression. That's the impact of using sexual orientations in comments. Regards.

  • this is good, but if you dont mind my suggestion, try not moving your fingers so much form the strings of the violin because thatll hel you to play faster things.look at hilary hahn play, its crazy

  • ridiculous: fake or real....your fake

  • Definitely real, you are just basically moving the bow with only the wrist and at the balance point of you bow. You are not moving you fingers fast at all either! but it is definitely real!

  • Sick man.. I've been watching a lot of SY's videos of him dueling with Ann Marie Calhoun. He definitely has the speed factor, while she takes a more melodic approach. Anyway, i love your playing. No homo !

  • @BenChanViolin

    Lol i say that to kidcharlemange22 i think.

  • false and homosexual.

  • wow. i have the same metronome

  • OMG

  • fricn rediculous.. O.o

  • Real because it's Ben Chan.

  • @Joncingular dude it's a video,calm down,it may or may not be fake

  • the piece is Partita No 3 in E, Bwv 1006 isnt it?

  • 1 you have nice hands

    2 you have a nice voice :)

    3 this is awesome

  • If it was sped up the sound would be higher pitch, HOWEVER there are free audio programs like Audacity that allow you to change the pitch to be lower.

    So what you could do is speed it up-->take it into something like Audacity --> lower the pitch. Just a little info to the retards saying "IT'S REAL BECAUSE OF PITCH BE SAME!"

    Not saying it's real or fake, but I will say it could be fake.

  • @shipo4ever Nah, this is real, but you don't have to go through all that in Audacity. There's an option in Audacity where you can just change the tempo, not the speed. ^^

  • fake cause aint the D string lower than that

    P.s im not a nerd

  • more fake than your mama boobs

  • @thenewmarbel Cool joke.

  • you can tell its real or if the video was sped up the beat on the clicking noise wouldve to which it did not.

  • itz reaal. cuz i no cuz my music teacher can do it even fastr.

  • It's real. My Orchestra Conductor can even do faster than this when advertising in the classes.

  • REAL AND HETEROSEXUAL

  • listen people. shut. up. your wrong. i'm right. deal with it.? :) yay!!

  • For what it's worth I believe it's real xD But what do I know? :P

  • I can tell that is really because i have seen your playing before. and i was a dead give away at the end when said you messed up

  • real <3

  • AHA!

    I LOVE THE LAST PART!

    "PUAAA JEEZ"

    lmfao!!!!

  • Lol his name wouldn't be BenChanViolin, have millions of videos of him playing, and give tutorials on how to play songs if this was fake. Plus he can do faster notes xD.

  • good god man played anymore and your violin would've caught fire!

  • Thats creeepy!!!!! Your hands like a billion spiders booking shit!

  • FAKE ASS SHIT.

  • I don't really care what you think. I'm not a bad violinist. actually im a very good violininst. and it is fake. because he wasn't even playing the fingers where they should be on the fingerboard to make the notes.. i promise it's fake. i have been playing this song for several years and I know what i'm talking about. audio was probably added to this visual link.. because again his fingers weren't playing the notes and his bow wasn't in correspondance. sorry :)

  • @Mrtchaikovskyful you cant see the bow though

  • @littlefart123 HA yeah I was hoping someone else would catch that! exactly.. watch the shadow on the wall and also you can see the frog of the bow way to the left of the screen for a while at the beginning FAKE

  • @Mrtchaikovskyful The shadow on the wall is called his bow, nimrod. You can't tell if it's moving fast or not because of the technique you have to use to be able to play that fast. Also, his frog also doesn't show up once in the video at all.

  • @Mrtchaikovskyful Yes, he was playing all the notes. If you were a good violinist, you would be able to tell what note he's playing from where his hand is on the fingerboard. If you were a good violinist, you'd know that almost every single song ever composed can be played with many different finger patterns and hand positions. You can see the shadow of his bow to the far left in check with the speed of the notes too. Don't be so conceited about something you clearly have no knowledge about.

  • i want to say 'ITS A FAAAAAAKE'. but i know its real =/

  • MY GOD.

  • it really real!!!

  • Total Fail.....

  • @np76kl fail.

  • truly amazing and real!

  • No its real I know people who can do this :P It's really clean for how fast you're playing it haha. You're good.

  • Hey, what was the name of the song you were playing?

  • Its absalutly real! I can tell by ever note he playes.

  • Play through the fire and the flames! DO IT!!

  • @Lungagnone1288 That made me lol :)

  • fake where he puts his fingers is incorrect for the sound of that

  • its real because the metronome lights stayed consistent. they would be jumping around if you put in non-continuous footage or whatever.

  • TOTALLY,FUCKING,REAL DUDEE!!! XDXD

  • You make me feel small xD

  • it almost looks fake cuz he's playing so fast! haha

  • REALLL

  • O.O I was... amazed.

  • your the best violin in youtube

  • If hiding your right hand out of view is video editing...

  • Not edited. Touched up visually for quality and lighting, but not edited.

  • lol I was like "this is fake!!" at the beginning, then I saw that it was Ben Chan, and was saying "Hey this is real!!!" haha

  • @omegaweapon123 me too! Hm...maybe,,,oh BenChan of course!

  • baha, scheisse XD

  • Oh yeah, and imagine this tempo and playing Bacho Presto O_O'....

  • @rockleefangirl189 Bach Presto* <.<

  • you can tell its real, cause when you speed things up it speeds up the sound too, so the timbre of the violin becomes chipmunk like hehe and it sounds like its original timbre here . . . well to me it does, so thats why I think this is real . . . which asks for the next comment GOODNESS YOUR FINGERS MOVE FAST !

  • @shanehodd offtopic, fyi, it is possible to speed it up without becoming chipmunk like

  • @shanehodd You know you can speed up a clip and keep the same sound pitch. You just have to use the right editing software

  • @shanehodd tempo and pitch are two different things my friend...

  • @sxephlI I am most aware of that. But when you speed up videos (achieving the faster tempo) (without fancy programs), the pitch goes really high. Im not technically savvy with editing programs, so please, dont go nuts with comments about how you can speed up videos and retain original pitch, I am aware of that too.

  • @shanehodd

    Haha doesn't take a fancy program ..

  • @shanehodd

    Well you can speed up without changing the frequency by using virtual DJ

  • @lomismodeunflog It's real you idiot. Ever played a violin before? =.=

  • I love this piece!!

    Oh, and DEFINITELY real. :D

  • REALL AT ALL!!

  • Absolutley real.

  • ok legit question lol. have you ever played so fast that your finger literally slipped off the finger bored before?? that would happen to me alot if i played it lol

  • REAL

  • Does this guy take calcium pills, or whaaaaT?

  • Wow awesome playing there,love it.Can you post a full vid of this please?thks=)

  • Comment removed

  • real

  • ñam ñam

  • so whats yer point?...

  • nice! Definitely real, I've literally been around violinists my whole life.

  • cant play that fast without moving his finger fast >.>

  • @skaterdude15awful

    You are aware that it takes more than one hand to play, no? And the other hand controls the speed of the notes. The one with the hairy stick.

  • @skaterdude15awful

    umm...the hand you see in the video only needs to be moved to change the pitch of the sound not the frequency at which the sound is being played. Thats what the other hand does. You can tap the stick, as Dog is referring it to, to make a really quick sound, or run the strings across the strings of the instrument for a longer sound. Ben chan was making many sounds at the same pitch. I hope this explains a bit.

  • @OriSama21 haha well the price between violin and cello then haha

  • @OriSama21 haha o ya i forgot about renting cuz i never renteed b4 lol um idk wat euro really is ahah srry but good luck :)

  • @OriSama21 youll find one :) dw take ur time when choosing it but if its ur first one i suggest u get one tats not tat expensive and then work ur way up lol well tats obv haha

  • @OriSama21 no problem :) wanna now a secret? its wat my teacher called "showin off piece" lol its easy to learn and play but sounds hard lol. i got all state violin 2marrow wish me luck! :)

  • @OriSama21 it is partita no. 3 by j.s bach my little sister played it for nyssma this year its a great and fun peice to play

  • at 0:12 it sounds like Mr.Beans theme song :O

  • REAL!!!!!!!!!

  • HA CHEESE! very nice wonderfully done!

  • it sounds like you said

    "haha, cheese"

    at the end xD

  • spicatto?

  • Fuck all those who say your videos are fake. You're an incredible musician and they are all just jealous. Keep it up!!!

  • damnXD woow you're soo fast!!! i wonder if you're simply just suuper gifted or if you became that good by practicing D:

  • ben chan: real , anyone else: fake

  • i think it's real... this can be achieved... and i looked at the fingering and it was what i heard all right! 5 stars for your excellent playing!

  • Eres increible, te felicito. Mucho exitos XD

  • ha i have that metronome =D

  • I'm a professional videographer... this is not edited at all. I spend 5-6 hours a day behind a computer editing videos. I can spot em. This is not fake or edited at all. Congratulations Ben-sama. You are a great violinist.

  • @RokkinpoGOROSHI

    what if the metronome's ticks were actually really slow and were on a different sound track and therefore different speed to the video and the violin, so the violin and vid could be sped up with the metronome being at good speed?

  • @kw0060 You need to be competent on violin to recognize if it's fake or not. Had it been speed up, it would have sounded much cleaner than what Ben Chan played. His messy playing is consistent with what was produced at that speed.

  • @RokkinpoGOROSHI OMG I'm thinking about going to college for video editing is it as fun as it looks?

  • @RokkinpoGOROSHI Wow now I feel dumb commenting on my own comment, but I didn't expect it to be one of the highest rated. This just shows that their are intelligent people out there who support real musicians like Ben-sama. Congrats to you intelligent people, and congrats to you Ben-sama on nearing 80,000 views. Still a loyal follower, keep up the good work.

  • @RokkinpoGOROSHI why did you call him sama no offence to him but he clearly isnt of high status so that is wrong

  • well.. he can play violin at much higher scales than a majority of us can, which would make us all inferior to him in some form of classical arts:P

  • @Snipehunter09 oh so u was saying sama for his musical tallent and not him in general ooooh i get it :D

  • @RokkinpoGOROSHI Yeah sure your a "Videographer" or your just

    a loser acting like you actually know something

  • @moneybags9206 you're just a loser hating on youtube

  • @moneybags9206 How do you know they're not? Do you actually speak with them?

    All you're doing is hating for no good reason.

  • i'm not talking about speeding up the tempo i'm talking about the cut and splice you can see if you take a good hard look at the video..

  • video edited but very good if you put it all together on one take

  • @156769 its not edited at all. he made this video to prove it wasnt..if he sped it up the metronome would have sped up too, which it didn't. so its 100% real :)

  • @156769 also if he had edited it, he probably would have sounded perfect
