Secrets by One Republic violin cover

[Leeroid]

Hi guiz

 

Made this yesterday, thought I would share

 

[GyzzBrah]

Quite like violin or anything orchestral for that matter. Do a cover for Dimmu Borgir pls pls pls!!

[Skeletor]

Pretty damn awesome mate. Very talented.

[atrollappears]

Cricky Tom.... Your a young man of many talents...

[tyreguy]

Ohh ffs Tom not only can he pull, push, (see in his sig), he can play the violin!!

 

What next? off to join the circus?? (not srs)

 

Btw, nice tune!! :-)

[Skeletor]

I think that deserves a post of the month for sure

[Pseudonym]

I presume you were playing back the first part while you recorded the second, Tom? But I see no earpiece - how did you avoid that nasty echo effect that comes from also re-recording the backing track underneath?

 

So, as promised, I'll record a video too. Just give me some time to get back up to speed. I had a practice session tonight - the first time I've played in months. It could have been worse, but I'm definitely rusty.

 

I think we should open this topic up to other musos who lift, too. Are there any others out there?

[maccaz]

this is so cool

pseudo you play violin too?

I think theres a drummer on here or used to post, cant think who maybe MT? could be wrong.

i played bass and guitar for years, havent picked anything up since i was maybe 21-22, dont have time for it now!

When I was about 5, I thought the violin was the coolest instrument ever, so Mum took me along for some lessons. After a few sessions, the teacher tactfully suggested that maybe I should wait a few years until I had more patience (or maybe just was less shit.) I never went back. So no, I don't play the violin.

 

I play piano/keyboard - spent years practicing classical style, learning each piece note by note. Then I discovered modern/jazz style where you can just sight-read the tune and improvise the accompaniment, and you never have to practise again.

 

I've also spent a couple of years on the sax (cool) and euphonium (not so cool, but at intermediate, that was the music teacher's favourite instrument, so that's what I got given...)

Oh sax and piano are both cool imo.

Would have thought both are lame in my teenage years but now im a fan
