Electric Violin - Alex Mitchell performing "Neoclassical"

[alfred93849]

Langley High School!!!

[jmjack156]

you know what, all the violinists i know who r good are girls so why do i only find guys playing on youtube

[member186]

@jmjack156 so that you could defy the laws of social equalism and anyways girls who like to brag arent good on anything, so thefore girls who know how to play violin play it for fun and dont share it instantly to youtube.

[flujn8r]

Nice to see someone so young play something that is both talented and beautiful! You gave me chills, and I haven't had that happen in years!

[redpoppies23]

I wish I could be possessed by sound as he was. It was agonizing and beautiful.

[Daniellovsmetal]

this should have over 1m views!!!!!!!

[Nabilicious90]

so n1! I like your music!

[Bamlikebambam]

Amazing :D

[DARProduction]

your holding it wrong, jk, you are though

[saddaysmeme]

I absolutely love his music, he is amazing. 2 questions though, are these his own songs, and where is he playing?

[SillyRabbitLOve]

Your music calms me :) keep it up ill deff be bying an album of you in the future :)

[Reapersden666]

i love this dude keep up the amazing work

[PancamoXXL]

this guy is awsome :)

[femaleviolinist]

Beautiful sound :) very original

[MsMaeAngela]

How talent :D Beautiful but also sad. I really like electric violin and I hope that someday I play it too :) great video by the way

[eclipse484]

Me gusto mucho la tonada que tocaste es muy bella, disculpa me gustaria saber como se llama. Buen video y que genial tocas.

[IshtarPiccolo]

This is amazing.

[stringwhore]

....not to hate or nothing... but neoclassical is just the name the of the song right? cuz i dun think this is a neoclassical tyle...

[LiedvonNephilim]

wow XD

[SirAwsomness]

beginning sounds like orion

[whitefalcon113]

Ah.. E major..

[stringwhore]

@whitefalcon113 pfft E lydian :3

[vids721]

This is really good...reminds me of Andrew Bird slightly without the vocals

[123spasser123]

amazing people dont shut up, while this genius is playing

[staircasestogalaxies]

beautiful, thank you!

[Newwrock]

I'd rather listen to this then any of that other crap playing, nowadays. THis modern music we have now is absolutely horrid, and has no meaning or emotion behind it. Sad is what it is, that our children have to grow up thinking that MMiley Cyrus and Beyonce is epic and legendary.

[123spasser123]

so true

[bobminthy]

@Newwrock YES!!!!!!! Thank you. I hate it so much because all the stuff people listen to at school sucks and they think anytyhing else is bad.

[UpcomingJedi]

@Newwrock You are too old. If you like rock where the guy uses 1/2 tub of lard on his hair to get the look of a croissant on top of his head...well, thats great. I got some Elvis records for you if you want.

[Rooftopaccessorizer]

@Newwrock miley cyrus and beyonce yes. but keep in mind, we grew up on " modern music" comparatively. dont knock the evolution of music. there are many artists with a "modern" or so called crappy " processed" sound, that has plenty, if not more, emotion behind it than the music of yesteryear.

[Silvonow]

awesomeness

[joegt123]

Once again, I am blown away by how utterly amazing classical instruments can be. You listen to all these age old songs from artist long dead, and then you take their instruments, and create something so utterly epic as this...

It's a mind fuck sometimes...

[jt890011]

Lol yes.... mind fuck is the PERFECT way to describe these kinds of videos. I feel violated.... but in an oddly pleasant way lol

[Nalegend2390]

Damn you are crazy good

[cingle2004jp]

I mean, what kind of world do we live in where somebody, does something like this!!

[EmmaLusMalus]

I doing that 2 (but he is really good!)

[PancamoXXL]

super music

[mdb72193]

You're really good

[FrikaFrikaFrikaFRESH]

is this langly highschool?

[Lexylicious007]

WTF, that's awnsome !!!

really beautiful O_O

[Kladionssj3L]

*__________*

[bizonapage]

16. Whoa.

[DarkAngelWings667]

WAUW, this is lovely! I really like it!

[Sazantime]

awesome

[wrestlinfish]

I would like to mention that this STILL has your most views. :D

[kandaraugh]

awesome job! that sounds pretty good with the loop in the background too.

[Morgan19942313]

Your awesome, really amazing

[chainsawsprague]

what type of violin is that?

[Morgan19942313]

Electric

[chainsawsprague]

no like brand

[kandaraugh]

overall shape and lack of a scroll is reminescent of "NS Design" electric violins. It seems neat, but I prefer more unique, glittery stuff, but that's just me.

[eierer]

Absolutely amazing! I'll buy an album of his.

[mumbles8604]

Under Recognized!!!

[aneal93]

I totally fuckin agree! He deserves much more acclaim than he gets.

[pikaslave]

I love how it shows that this wasn't a VERY large gig. Because of the "Cafe Wednesday" and the pictures on the poster. But looking at your other concerts. It really shows that you've been through all this hard work. You really deserve a rewarding congratulations. :) Good Job. I love your work.

[CrazyDude732]

decent violinists on youtube are hard to come by, and you are good

[staticxfrk]

magical...

[suzuki31rider]

dang this guy is good

[LeesMahMan]

this is his best song.

[JoeltGrainger]

Looper pedal. I have one myself. Bit procey though.

[emojediknight]

i would also like to know what the pedal that records mulitparts is called as well

anyone know???

awesome playing!!!!

[flyingrooster1024]

it's called a loop pedal, the digitec dl-8 is about 150 bucks, has a 20 second loop.

[kewie727]

he cant do vibrato hes shaking the violin what an idiot!

[ageshero]

I have to jamm with you!

[RadRidingHood]

even at 16, u rock man

[nimieinstein]

what kind of electric violin do you own?

im looking to buy one my self so i was just wondering.

[kristie76548]

That sounds absolutely beautiful

[spiccator]

it sounds really cool and the composition is great!... Anyone knows what this pedal thing that records melodies is called and where do they sell it? I would like to try that with my e-violin too!

[screammlouderr]

thats really cool. i like =]

[marciojeferson]

your best, i dont lke your experimentations with guitar effects, this is just beautiful

[chikyroo290]

how does the sounds repeat itself?

[cubedfiddler]

if I am correct he has a record feature on his board. so he records each of the parts one by one then sets them on a loop and plays.

[pyroboyx3]

its called frippertronics created by robert frip of king crimson

[xThisxIsxWar]

Finally...an electric violinist who writes his own music and has a creative bone in his body.

Excellent chord progressions and overall clarity. I support it man =]

[ShredmasteRsl3]

sounds cool!!!

[taffyL3]

yeah it's a 5-string

it has

c.g,d,a, and e string

it's an electric viola/violin

all the melodics of a violin and the mellow sound of a viola

i prefer viola though

:D

[Ausdoerrt]

Lol not bad. Sounds a lot like Apocalyptica though...

[KaosuAiden]

wow... that's just... simply amazing. I want to learn violin now... it was always my favorite instrument. The sounds are beautiful and sorrowful, but like epic.... It's like the world.

[Newwrock]

DeeP LoL No Really

[candyrox25]

5 string violin? interesting.

[aznricejp]

Nice crowd....

[Undeaddrumbum]

it actually was. you just cant see the audience.

[asdfkathleen]

amazing.

im a violinist myself,

and i think your music is genius.

[Filledor]

Hi, would love to know how to get the sheet music for it - if there s is any :)

[Noel2evil]

its on his website

[Filledor]

Thanks, I didn t know that :-)

[Noel2evil]

no problem

[choiboy92]

Wow, that was reallygood. I am thinking of getting an electric violin, where did you find your sheet music? can you tell me where you got them?

[vsr111]

its all improvised, or in his head, there is no sheet music. sorry but its his and his alone.

[choiboy92]

actually, you can get it on his website...

[vsr111]

oh, ok.

[ciabattaman10]

epic fail

[Undeaddrumbum]

he writes his own music and memorizes it. Ive been to several of his performances and im in the same orchestra as him.

[masterTTP]

I've watched this video too many times x.X Just that great

[VodkaAce]

cheers! long live the Violin

[sophiav88]

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to play guitar instead.

Millions of the mindless horde of people in the US already play guitar and the overwhelming majority of them cannot truly play at all.

Way to be an individual.

[kae15800]

word

[pikaslave]

peace out.

[decimus81]

@sophiav88 very well said. personally i think the violin is perhaps the most beautiful of instruments anyway, sometimes it sounds like it has a soul of its own :)

[fisharefriends9]

Great. Seems like you use pizzicato alot.  Refine it and make it your own. Everyone has their own style. Good job.

[SoupySalesNmyFly]

Hey, alex. I really enjoy the sound you get out of your instrument. I was looking into purchasing a violin. I do a lot of recording. Do you think buying an electric would benefit me? What electric do you suggest? I was looking at fender, but I've not been so pleased with fender lately. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[senasachi]

this is sick. awsome job

[HockeyCrazy67]

I love the sound of the violin in all of ur videos

[Pananda]

this is sick nasty. great job

[planetforsale]

that sounds really nice... but it looks like the violin is not allowing you to really get into the song. with a guitar youd at least be able to tear off some amazing runs or play some chords.

[Sinagorge]

Great job! Bravo!

[ConEspressione]

Brilliant!!! i like that

[ayhan1453]

people on the back got bored as hell

[hollytrotter]

nice

i like this way of "using" a violin for another music diraction (can you say it that way???, well i dont care anyway)

[jsea483]

haha i saw you today at our school pep rally thing that was sick keep it up

[Zakhond]

I adore it.

[brentoncoll]

wow your really good. keep up the goo work!

[Draksane]

sounds nice man, good work

[flyinfighter]

Wow... amazing Alex. I have a feeling you will go far with your music.

[SebastianSardrow]

Great.

[warchild1976]

well done fantastic

[MayEMT]

hey alex you planning on selling sheet music to any of your songs?

[conformistrebel]

Actually yeah, kind of - I just put up a bunch of sheet music to my loops (including this song) on my website for free, check it out.

[MayEMT]

sweet thanks!

[UpcomingJedi]

[XxRoycexX]

[beethoven2177]

perfect..good job.i like NeoClassic

[CollarPoppnNinja]

Inspired by E-Alleyne? I've seen him...I think Alex should be inspiring him.

[yawnimbored]

hmmm i wonder what pedal or device he's using to loop tracks?

[meehalee21]

Can you say "Pussy-Magnet"? Notice the girls getting wet in the background? lol

[rdaws73]

[stickinabut]

[toyhyena]

[frodo22969052]

You sound like Apocalyptica.

Awesome.

[0911GSE]

Awesome 5 stars!

[gothmom1]

The sound of muse and a new born bays cry are the two most beautifuls gifted to us. Why I ask as i watch this vid in the backround are people passing by with no ear? Who ever you are.. Thank you!

[Noel2evil]

wow, that song is awsome, its soft, but yet so hardcore, lol

[Madwolf153]

Nice song ..good skill

[xSijnx]

[kailovesakaitori]

[HaggleBaggle]

[kickazz96]

[desolateguitar23]

REAL music is played with hard core emotion! this dude gets it done!

great job, dude

[Alariele]

I just cant stop listening to it.. you should upload some more :)

[newfounddeath]

That's so cool!

[bradljr0046]

nice man

iv been playing violin for a number of years and im getting an electric next week

how wood u compare them?

[chickinchaps]

MArry me . . teach me! LOL . . haha i cheaked out your web site. and looked for that cd. . but couldnt find it.

[UpcomingJedi]

Ok, is this tune just like you play it here or is it "perfected" by the studio? Such as Ed's Orange tune that was NOT like his busking chester video. It was all equalized and changed somewhat taking away quite a bit of the feeling he displays outdoors. Its like its not the musician making the music but the studio engineer. Do they have a sample clip yet?

[conformistrebel]

Nope, I didn't do a lot of studio work on it. It's pretty straight, recorded live. Sounds pretty much identical to the video, just better quality.

[UpcomingJedi]

Thats great to hear but what do you mean better quality? Does that mean it comes in surround or stereo? Or does that mean no 'oops' as far as the accidental off key of live performances?

[conformistrebel]

Hello everyone, just to let you know, this song (in addition to the songs in the other videos) can now be purchased at full CD quality on iTunes! It's part of my new album, "Evolution." Check out the video info for more information.

[candygrl2468]

u r so talented! that was beautiful...

[faultzone38]

wow just wow i didnt think id here anything like this in my life

[icantthink4155]

wow all those people and no ones watching, Id be transfixed.

[xPoison09]

Incredible, 5 stars.

[mandamckinney3]

beautiful

[gandoulfe]

Beautiful !! really

[basitt23]

who's song is this, that's really good and also your performance is, how can ı get the musical notes(signs(i don't know the english name hope you understand:)).

[JRTET21]

It's his. Say Thank ya.

Like this: Thank-ee sai. I cry your pardon

[Murphyalex]

We call it "sheet music", or "notation" or sometimes just "where can I get the music for..."

I think you'll just have to message the poster, and see if he's uploaded any.

[Heinmillergod]

True talent,true emotion, great composition.

I love it!!!

[defenderofgaia]

oh my God that was freakin awesome

[sarinhah7princesinha]

5 or 4 strings???

[laboye]

5. I saw him dip down to a low C around 2:15.

[rimpel111]

[amazingmato]

[Javen1337]

Nice!

[SARE128]
