      do both of the full songs with a proper time to "study" and do it at your best. you are an insane musician, with an insane song. i know your time is limited, but your skillz are UNLIMITED!
      Imagine just playing 8 bars or bach and call it a day... bach would wake up from the dead!!! now tim is still alive tho, he deserves and we deserve it full.
      pretty please?

    "He's already doing octaves" Its a pretty sick riff but as a guitar player I can assure this is almost certainly way harder on violin.
    Especially if you want to play the piece with the same energy as a guitar player.
    Fair play for nailing it

    • @ultimatesoup
      @ultimatesoup 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      I play both guitar and violin... can confirm they are WAY harder on violin. If you are even the slightest bit off on violin it's super obvious whereas you just have to hit 2 frets a step away and 2 strings down for MOST octaves on guitar

    I truly hope Tim sees this. Polyphia often will sit and watch fan videos and covers. Really want to see his reaction, he's always honored and humbled to be covered by all levels of musician, but especially by those who take such care and effort into learning his music. Well done, Ray. Excellent adaptation to the violin.

    This just reminded me that Tim Henson actually grew up playing the violin until around 15. In an interview, he talks about how his teachers sort of made him hate it growing up because they were physically abusive (I think they hit him across his hand with a bow if he made mistakes??) but that he's grateful he had the opportunity to learn because it taught him discipline.
    Love how this turned out, this series is so fun!
