Shane Guse - "The Pretender" Grammy Audition

[figuresk8r13]

The fiddle is called a viper and it has 7 strings. Mark Woods invented them=]

[Isiena]

Oh man, that really was amazing. Like everyone else, I'd love to see the full version of it. =D

[corkyloser123]

What type of Violin do you have?

[EphemeralBlithe]

wayyy better than the winner

[ratm711]

That was Awesome

[kiddyboy618]

that was amazing!

you should do a cover kashmir by led zepplelin because a bit of it sounded like it!

[NarutoCaptor]

some of it did and didnt sound like pretender but that is the way it is with some string instruments. i play the violin and REALLY want to learn this song and my bro also wants me 2 larn it but VERY VERY good job

[StocktonB]

good job you should do the whole song and put it on here

[Shademastermcc]

I love the way you added a beat to the beginning, very creative! You also really went nuts at the end, you kept something interesting happening throughout the entire song, great!

[sbasmaling]

So beautiful, awesome job.

[femilyrpy]

[Musicgirl82]

I was really rooting for you, (especially since I can't root for myself anymore!) but I still enjoy your video. Its probably my favorite of all the videos posted.

[brianfitzrock]

Video's way too dark, so I can't tell...but do you play a Mark Wood as well?

[eStringz]
