woah. That's pretty nice.

Edit:

There's a bunch of videos on youtube of him doing covers of songs. His version of Metallica's Unforgiven, for example, is pretty cool:

Nice sounding, but it doesn't develop, move or progress musically. He's also futzing with his equipment too much.

 

[TehMac]

That was very nice.

He has to futz with his equipment to play what he's playing. He's basically recording loops of what he's already played and then starts playing something new on top of it.. That's why by the end you're hearing several layers of music.

No shiz, Sherlock. I'm well aware of the variety of stomp boxes and delay loopers available. He's just not performing in a professional manner. In this video, he doesn't seem prepared. It may be his first performance of the day. It was just a comment.

He does have a very good sense of melody mixed with his rock style of playing, but distored electric violin is nothing new. I just don't see how this video could give someone chills.

There's no reason why you can't pick up the violin or any other instrument.

It sounded good, but the shots of random tourist stops,scenic shots, etc were pretty dumb.

Marked for later. In the meantime, I'll just listen to Vanessa Mae.

[Mojoed]

Wow this is REALLY good. I'm gonna have to get some CD's from this guy!

 

[skyking]

That's the best I've seen with money going into a box on the streetcorner. I bet he is quite good in the studio.
