Electric Violinist Mark Wood performs a Heavy Metal Electric Violin Solo at the MWROC Music Festival in Kansas City. Check out more at www.markwoodmus... / markwoodmusic
In a way, it sucks that he hasn't had more of a solo career as a rock musician but at the same time it's really cool that one reason he hasn't is because he's spent so much time teaching kids.

Yes, I agree. Mark Wood is incredible as a solo musician, especially with his wife Laura Kaye. They are both amazing in concert. However, they both are really changing the education scene. They have this awesome camp every summer that helps educate kids about different genres of music, including classical (we played some metal Beethoven last year!) and it really changed my life.

That definitely took several hours of daily practice over several years, but I guarantee a good portion of that time was spent just playing around with it. Most of my practice, since I've only just started, has mostly been fiddling (giggle) around with it and trying to match tunes by ear. I almost have twinkle twinkle litter star, trying to decide if I should get happy birthday or the mario theme next. The metroid theme is on the list of must learns, but I got a long way before I'm good enough for that.

@@hansmahr8627 No hate on Paganini, but some of the things Mark plays are more difficult than some caprices. Have you tried using multiple pedals to change the sound of your instrument, gosh, I’ve only used one and it’s hard playing the things he plays and using pedals.
@hansmahr8627

@@alraapl It's much easier than Paganini. Most of what he does is just scales and using effects. Not to mention the fact that he's playing with frets which removes one of the most difficult parts of violin playing: intonation. I very much doubt that he could play one of the more difficult caprices with all those fast parallel octaves and tenths that have to be perfectly in tune. They're a a struggle for the world's greatest violinists, this dude is not even close. If you want to see some truly virtuosic violin playing, look up the video of Leonid Kogan playing Paganini's Nel cor piu non mi sento, one of the hardest violin pieces of all time. Kogan plays it without the help of electronic effects or frets and makes this dude look like a beginner.

I don't know if I will ever have any possibility to pruchase such a violin, but I believe, the mirracle happents. Thanks for such a great performance! I have some of my impromptus here on my channel. Welcome to watch some, when you have a time. Kind regards...
