      Broadband, Charlie did a part 2 to this, check it out., also you should check out the remake by K.M.C. Kru called The Devil Came Up To Michigan, it's a rap., not as good as Charlie of course, but fun to listen to.

      A fiddle has lower bridges and different strings so its set up differently i guess for what you would call more twangy sound

    • @sirblank2384
      @sirblank2384 10 місяців тому

      ​@BLEACH500 u got it backwards the fiddle is the original created at latest 900 A.D. the violin family didnt show up until the 1500s so the fiddle is the actual item and the violin is from italy which makes it sound warmer instead of more tin sound ig u could say because the lore of the fiddle possibly comes from Scotland then went to Ireland which is y the irish folk songs are written with fiddles in mind.....plus the strings are made of steel and nylon to make the sound

    From my understanding when I took guitar and violin lessons my teacher told me the best violins was built to produce the sounds you hear in classical music and a fiddle was built to produce what you hear in this video. Just like different acoustic guitars have their own sound. Some sound deep and some sound tinny.

    @nberrypatch02 3 роки тому +7

    I've heard many country music fans say that the difference between a violin & a fiddle is that a violin has strings, but a fiddle has STRANGS! Mr. Daniels doing a little bit of Southern rapping before the word "rap" was barely known to mainstream media. This is one of those fun upbeat songs that crosses genres & makes everybody clap their hands & tap their feet. :-)
    Charlie passed away on July 6th 2020 at age 83... RIP

    I like to interpret this song as refusing to give in to your inner demons when they try to plant negativity in your mind. When you start to question your own talent and abilities, you need to remember the truth about what you are capable of accomplishing and tell those demons where to go. Johnny knew he was the best and proved it. Never give up on yourself!

    I saw Charlie Daniels and Travis Tritt in concert (for my first time) in Oklahoma in December of 2019. Charlie was so dope and could still shred on his fiddle. He expressed his love for the USA, it’s citizens, and especially its men and women in uniform protecting our freedom and there was not one dry eye in the theater. He also saw a young boy in the front row who was dancing to the music and Charlie walked right over to him in the middle of the song and gave his bow to the boy. Pretty awesome souvenir and memory for that youngster. Now that he has suddenly passed I’m deeply saddened but also thankful that I decided to buy that ticket and drive from Texas to Oklahoma to see him perform. As I sat there just a few rows back I was amazed at how spry he was for being in his 80s. It just goes to show you that live is precious, health is paramount, and every day is a gift. RIP Charlie!

  • @catmacg
    @catmacg 2 роки тому +1

    You're right about the main difference being how it's played. Plus fiddlers hold the violin lower down than violinists (normally held under chin using a chin rest). Also, they sometimes file the bridge down (wooden piece that is arched and separates the strings) so they can more easily play two strings at a time.

  • @actuallyNo...
    @actuallyNo... 3 роки тому +1

    ...well since a bazillion people have asked this and I have now watched this songs reaction like 30x, I gotta say it. Lol. Fiddles and violins are almost the same in layman's. To someone who isn't a player or that familiar w/the string instruments,they'll say they're the same... but fiddles are straighter across and also have a different attachment to lay your chin on(violins dont). Like you said a huge difference is the music played on either, but the Fiddle is tunned down several octaves(gives it the blue grass and folk sound as opposed to the "classical" named sound u mentioned). Bows are a little different on each. Those are main differences(there's other smaller, subtle ones), & new school ones are being made different thru time, each decade as we go & instruments change/evolve, but they're still basically the same for all intent and purposes (unless you're a player, then hell no, they're completely different, lmaooo).
    Good reaction. I like ya.
    Can't believe you're from The South and hadn't heard this though!! ;-))

    The difference between the two is how you play it. The violin is played slower with the whole bow, and a fiddle is played faster. I saw him in concert in 2002 and I started taking lessons to learn to play the fiddle shortly after and my instructor told me that.

That was the time that you’d see music videos of Glam Rock bands, Rap, and Pop artists all on the same MTV countdown. You’d hear Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauder, and Metallica on the same radio station. And a metic shit ton of one hit wonders.

    You're exactly right. The violin and fiddle are basically the same instrument, though fiddlers may customize it a little with flat bridge or no chin rest sometimes. The difference is in the tuning and how it's played.

    @herrzimm 2 роки тому

    Fiddle and Violin are actually the same instrument. The difference is HOW they are played.
    Violins are held "upright" (normally out along shoulder) which produces a deeper sound and allows for slower but consistent sounds.
    Fiddles are held lower (Across chest or belly) which allows for normally higher pitched notes that can be played faster and bow use to shift between 'whines' or plucked to produce 'twangs'.
    Besides how they are played to produce the sounds... they are the same instrument.
