  • I've been obsessed about this band for a while now... first time I listened to this song I thought it had a lot of violinistic potential so I couldn't wait to arrange it.

      I prefer your version to the original.... and that's even though I like the original very, very much. My 8 year old daughter is also trying her hardest to practice your cover on her violin instead of practicing the stuff she's supposed to practice, lol xD lots of squeaking noises at home, but by now she got her artificial flageolets down clean. so thanks for teaching her that xD

    I watched this in disbelief. This is like the extracted essential oil of G.O.A.T. The pizzicato section gave me goosebumps.

    What I love about UA-cam showing me these is Polyphia used to cover classical music, and now classical music covers them

  • @dmwalker24
    @dmwalker24 Рік тому +2

    This is a stunning arrangement, and performance. It really highlights just how similar much of Polyphia's music is to classical composition. I did get a laugh out of a comment suggesting it was gutsy to play this without effects. I think that's a bit of a misunderstanding of what it typically means to be a violin player.

    I've listened to a far amount of various G.O.A.T. covers and I can say that this one is a marvelous display of creativity, virtuosity in the instrument and creativity in arrangment. Truly one of the best covers of this piece.

    This woman is the Hillary Hahn of solo violin arrangements!
    On top of your hauntingly mesmerizing performance to perfection, the production quality is improving greatly. The lighting, cuts, close-ups and different angles, all the artistic details that add even more visual richness to your music. All the things that can get better, ARE getting better! I'd be absolutely shocked if your channel doesn't blow up in due time after you consistently put out even more content like this.

    This is truly an over the top virtuosic performance...exceeding the technical wow factor of the original by several orders of magnitude while being extremely artful. Your left hand technique is picture perfect drool worthy. THIS deserves a bazillion views. Do you have a notated version of this transcription? I'd gladly pay you handsomely for it. :-)))) Just your takedown and arrangement skills alone are mind-blowing.

    • @kevinstahl8834
      @kevinstahl8834 2 роки тому

      Play it at .75x speed. This seems/looks like the recorded speed to me. Especially from 1:40 to 2:00 when she's moving her hair around so much, it falls more naturally than at 1.0x speed. Also missing a lot of eye blinks which would certainly give it away.

  • @user-xp5ii2zr9h

    I don't care if this video was sped up a little, because the arrangement is what's important. Incredible arrangement. Can't blame her if it's hard to translate a 6-string solo into a 4-string instrument.

  • @ByakuRyuu
    @ByakuRyuu Рік тому +1

    This surpassed my expectations astronomically across all the interpretation. The harmonics, the dynamics the tasteful choices of respecting the original phrasing when necessary (even when a significant ammount the original phrasing is artificially added through the mixing process, but here it is executed live and organically) and adding your own phrasing choices like the pizzicati in 1:19 and 1:34 the second one being two notes before than the previous one, etc.
    It truly sounds like a Paganini's version of G.O.A.T, and even the details like alternating the illuminations from white to red according to the verses like in the original MV, (yes, I noticed the chair being light grey at the start and being red at the end).
