Catharsis - HARD ROCK VIOLIN

It's finally done! Due to me living in a country-ish area, my recording material is rather limited, so hopefully I'll be able to film in other locations in the future. Thanks again to Sarah Chaffee (http://www.youtube.com/user/vampyresonata) for not letting me forget about this.

I originally recorded Catharsis in the September of 2010, and I hated it so much that I decided to re-records some of the parts. After doing that, I realized that I still hated it, so I just left it alone to rot in the deep recesses of my iTunes library. A couple months later, Sarah Chaffee started wondering why it wasn't on YouTube. Of course, my response was, "why would I ever put something this terrible on YouTube?" but she kept persistently badgering me . I finally got around to just redoing the entire thing, so now I actually feel comfortable posting it :)

I may make a joint blooper reel for Greensleeves and Catharsis soon...

I'd also like to offer a suggestion, do a set. For instance, I am playing this song with two French Canadian songs that are really fun (Mouth of Tobique and Reel de M. Poitu if you wanna check them out) I'd love to hear a full set. Lastly, how much was that violin, I can't find a decent electric violin anywhere.

@AsaminsRevenge I just decided to send the reply through messages, because it just took up way too much space : P Thanks for watching!

This video is the bomb! I've added this to my YouTube jazz messenger channel of my violin stuff and other violin avorites from all genres from rock to blues to bluegrass to Polish hillbilly reggae - linked below to the left in blue. Again, this video was really cool, the music fantastic!,

Awesome man. I love the soul to the solos. Great playing! I wasn't sure I was going to like this at first, but it was great!
