@JeffW77 I've seen that before. It's pretty epic. :)

You can do the same finger combination on the other strings if you want to do it on violin or whatnot.

those 3 people that thumbs downed this video should have their thumbs chopped off and replaced with copperhead snakes that bite them every 30 minutes

I am convinced that THIS is the "well known" tune that Sir Edward Elgar would not reveal, but nonetheless solves the riddle of his Enigma variation.

AWESOME! This reminds me of that scene in Nodame Cantabile where the whole string section lifted their instruments above their heads...
