  • Lies. There's no way that some who has played any instrument for 20 years would use grammar or wording like yours.

  • Why does every, "How to play the violin" Video I click on turn out to be bullshit? :/

  • but actually this guy comes off like really being full of himself,if your good with a musical instument thats great,but dont make a video like all but YOU dont know anything.what i mean is dont talk down to people,talk to them...

  • playing the fiddle in the style of country music like say alabama or george strait is the best for the fiddle...

  • Dude, cmon i dont even know how to produce sound

  • This isn't bias is it! (sarcasm)

  • I hate playing classical. To boring, to slow. I always ask my teacher in class about fiddling but she dosent tell me much.

  • what ?? from 1:16-1:20 it's like you saying that only classical violin needed a lots of techniques to play but fiddling don't ?! sorry but i'm disagree with you! for me , to playing classical music is like playing a writen peice of music so you can't change it but when comes to play fiddle , it's free style ...so my points are they both needs practice because if you don't practice and develop your techniques ..then how can you play violin, right??

  • this helps me out i giting a violin for my birthday and thats an the 25 a geting to know how to play a violin

  • this guy's clearly a violinist,

  • 1:19 You start sounding like a transformer. Like a fucking decepticon.

  • @waka96 lmao
