    So many people underestimated violins, including myself. Then I watched and felt stupid. I showed my friends and they were astounded. Fantastic job, dude.

    Dang it. Now both of the players in my wedding band have gone viral. Guess I'll have to hire the budget DJ instead of you and Scott.

      Well well well, good hong-il shin, it seems like you may not recognize Mr. D Wong. As he is quite the regular on the reddit front page. All Mr. D has to do is say "So I heard XXXXX the other day and guess what? I made a violin loop." The dude is just that effing amazing and he will continue to be front page, so long as he continues doing covers of songs with his violin.

    Can someone who has no idea about "loop pedals ask a question?? HOW ARE YOU MAKING IT SOUND LIKE A QUARTET? Is it simply by pressing the pedal?? Is it also changing the key as well for you? If so that is AMAZING!

  • @karenbobaren3531
    @karenbobaren3531 10 років тому

    AMAZING COVER. Seriously, so good.
    Also, Is there a reason you let the rosin residue build up? Just wondering!

  • @dabug911
    @dabug911 10 років тому

    Wow, memories. This reminds me of going to Ultra Music Week and going to a party at Nikki Beach where they had a violin up on stage with the dance music and they were playing. Always so beautiful and just a great live addition to the music.

  • @chikkiboo
    @chikkiboo 10 років тому

    you always flow so seamlessly between the loop-recordings, just a single take - makes it seem effortless, which is ofc a sign that u put a lot of effort into learnin to play so well. im so impressed :chinhands:
