@cellobachman lies. Actually since there are no cello, guitar, or piano teachers where I live Youtube is actually amazing for teaching. I learned to play piano and guitar from Youtube. I am living proof that you are wrong.

@NimbleTurtle13 oh i see, this is like what i saw a lot of when it came to buying headphones =)

your ears are of "audiophile" quality ^^ lolz

@WateryIce54321 The more you play the cello, the more sensitive your ears will becomes. Most amateurs will no trouble hearing an out of tune performance (if it's not REALLY out of tune). I said "very out of tune" because that's what it sounds like to my ears. For others, it may sound like an exaggeration but it's all relative. Professionals will agree with me that this is very out of tune however.

@NimbleTurtle13 how sure are you? O_o I kind've agree in saying that isn't really out of tune, or atleast it isn't to an extent that displeases the ears
