The Pretender - Foo Fighters my Grammy Moment - Violin solo

My violin solo for the Foo Fighters' "my grammy moment" contest.

Thank everybody for your votes and for sending me to LA. I wouldn't be able to go without your votes.

A lot of people is commenting that it is not really the Pretender. It's a violin solo over the pretender, what means that I'm playing the melody once, and improvising the rest over the chord progression. It was one of the options for the audition, that's why played this way.

Não gostei do arranjo. Mas rock em instrumento clássico fica muito legal =D

@daianymarreiro

Somente a parte lenta é arranjada, a parte rápida é um improviso/solo em cima da harmonia da música.

it didnt sound like the pretender song to me.. but it was great!!.. that was awesum

@nonini1216: I agree actually... I didn't try to do a plain arrangement of the song, I tried to play a "jazz/rock" style improvisation over the chord changes... That's why it does not sound exactly like the song! :-)
