In 1847, Robert Liston performed an amputation in 25 seconds. Operating so quickly that he accidentally cut off his assistant's fingers. Both patient and assistant later died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality rate.

His notes are muddy, he skips alot of notes, there is no separation between notes, etc. Also, electric violins are way easier to play than a real violin and should not be compared to real violins. And is that even a violin? It has 5 strings!

[@glanknightfalcon4246]

If you count the shifts in this video (at 0.25 speed) I believe he skips 4 notes per shift. Near the end of the video, he does 3 of those shifts, so that means he skipped 12 notes in total.

[@lailafie8259]

World record for most missed notes in a performance. Truly impressive to be that shameless.

[@bryanmyers8854]

This guy said he doesn't get critisim. INCORRECT. When you play the video in slow motion, you will notice he doesn't play every note, doesn't play the correct notes, and the pizzicato sounds like a NIGHTMARE. Oh, and if you can play it slowly, it DEFINITELY doesn't mean you can play it quickly, as proved IN THIS VIDEO. He also said he wants to inspire people, but yet he sells violins for more than anyone can pay for. At least the person before him made the record and PLAYED THE CORRECT NOTES. The entire thing sounded like a glissando. (His smile is also the cringiest thing ever). Additionally, he said "always moving", but yet he wasn't really moving.

This record cannot be validated. First of all, I've never heard of a five stringed violin. Also, his intonation is off for the majority of notes, and further more he is actually making note and rhythmic errors. If you're going to try to break the current world record, you have to play on an ACTUAL violin, and play ALL the notes correctly. It's only fair.
