True

[@TheEnnisfan]

This is one of the most creative ways I've ever seen anyone perform Bittersweet Symphony. Incredible. Respect, Cody.

[@cristianotito6927]

TheEnnisfan i think the same of You !!!

[@RicoBanify]

2:58 Is when I was blown away till the end and made me cry. God that violin is beautifull.

[@penunggangunta3126]

Viola was better

[@suhailmushtaq5444]

the audience is lame... But hats off to u bro...........

[@catlover-fp5ig]

Dude, your intonation is freakin' amazing! Such a pure sound, this is incredible!!!

[@brotherjones1545]

4:10 - 4:21 OH MY GOODNESS Listen to that masterpiece! It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard!

[@skullmony2958]

Agreed! So beautiful its unbelievable

[@jaycemilburn294]

Mr. Toll.... I can still remember when you played that for us in class before you actually performed it at the Talent show!!! Miss you bunches!! Come see us soon!

[@hussienahmed2004]

one of the most beautiful songs ever made...The violin is an untapped resource of musical perfection.. If only less people would want so badly to become rockstars, maybe more would

[@hussienahmed2004]

***** yeah true.. A bit off of a side point but you know what? I bet you can get laid plenty with the violin

[@mrbibs350]

***** In the strictest sense I'm not sure I would label violin as a "valuable skill". Or any form of music for that matter

[@hussienahmed2004]

mrbibs350 actually I saw a video that would refute that

[@hussienahmed2004]

there we go /watch?v=R0JKCYZ8hng

[@hussienahmed2004]

***** are you trolling, or do you just projecting personal problems? cause he's not that confident about his opinion..hence the "im not sure i would" he never labelled it as worthless either. He just isnt educated on its benefits and that doesnt make him a bad person

[@CodyToll]

I'm looping with a Boss RC-20, and I have my mic plugged into a Digitech RP200 guitar pedal to drop the octave for the bass line.

[@jessevanehandley3667]

Awesome Cody Toll

[@theresa.y5221]

hi!! it’s me a violist in ur 7th hour :)

[@CodyToll]

@gadams257 I repeated each layer of harmony three of four times to give the illusion of multiple musicians playing the same part. I found that if I played each layer identically, it still sounded like one player, especially since it was being played on the same instrument. Putting a subtle variation on each iteration makes it sound slightly more orchestral.

[@DrSmallberries]

That little James Bond quote at 4:40 is a nice touch.

[@thefalselemon579]

AManCalled Da-da You know the super super weird thing is that my dad had this song on the same cd as that exact James Bond song and would play that cd on long road trips and I’ve forever linked the two in my head, so when he did that I thought I was hallucinating for a second.

[@skullmony2958]

What's the James bond song called?

[@ThatGuy_92]

@@skullmony2958 you only live twice - Nancy Sinatra, though the riff deffinetly sounds better in mellenium

[@darrylpokea2862]

your interpretations/variations are incredible and touch our hearts beat by beat with your many melodies on violin together. Thank you gifted one

[@moose50gaming]

I listen to this on a daily basis and it still moves me the same way it did when I first listened to it - masterpiece

[@skullmony2958]

Same!

[@nouransalah5433]

Are you still listening to it ? 😳🤣 😂

[@moviemaniac1838]

Dude that's awesome! How is the crowd not cheering at 2:59?! He's great!

[@blooper68]

cud be he told them to keep quiet because the crowd might be heard in the looping thru the mic

[@footymaster6887]

Lost count how many times I've watched this 👌

[@shiloh7915]

This is my Orchestra teacher ,_,

[@fhqls0704]

Chibbeh_ really?

[@shiloh7915]

Yea, he told us to go to watch this lmao

[@miatortelllini4049]

Can you please tell him to do this for America's Got Talent?

[@dwayne8013]

+Mianimations Studios now that would be a great idea 😁

[@xmasx]

Lucky you!

[@litzman00]

Your amazing. I wish you had another video of this performance with no audience. Thanks for the video. I really appreciate it.

[@gwilespinosa]

I can't stop to watch this, is a really Masterpiece

[@Jennifer-os2sq]

Wow this is an amazing performance. The musicality blows me away. I've just begun learning Violin and hope to, maybe, be close to as talented as you!

When I saw the Verve in 1998 I had the violins in my head for days ...sweet symphony

[@brunocaitano10]

Sou do Brasil e sua performance me deu vontade de tocar esse maravilhoso instrumento que é o violino!

[@edmjsf]

Igualmente. Comecei há pouco

[@KewalBagwe]

ohh, this guy is amazing, looping was in perfect timing...

[@skullmony2958]

It’s been 10 years since I first saw this vid. It’s still one of my favorites to this day❤😍

lol gold comments

[@CodyToll]

It's a Boss RC-20. I used a DigiTech RP200 guitar pedal for the spot where I dropped it an octave. I just bought the RC-30, which I would recommend. I find it to be more functional than the older model for the kinds of things I want to do.

[@makerofthings5199]

4:55 - I guess a little "Fiddler on the Roof" thrown in for good measure? This is fantastic!

[@spacemanboogi]

Beautiful!!! I choked up a bit....my soul loves this.

[@garethjones9280]

Stunned to tears. Every now and then you come across something that makes you think - wow. I've never been more glad that I can feel.

[@yashraghava8397]

Just need to mention that I am listening to this melody for the past 10 years regularly.And All I can say about it is that it is simply Awesome.

[@MoonDisast]

This man had just performed a distillation of all the things I enjoy about that song! Bravo! A fantastic performance!

[@jhchevy1]

This video is now saved in my favorites. Did he really turn the bow upside down and play the bottom of his strings. Holy crap. Those sounds are why I love the violin.

[@skullmony2958]

This deserves lots of views bc this is absolutely beautiful it makes me cry.

[@newarkkasw]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@janettekingston7955]

Absolutley incredible. I will never cease to be amazed at the talented people that are out there!!

I absolutely love this! So much perfection in this work!

[@fishmut]

Pure talent , thank you , absolutely beautiful, really really loved it , amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@CodyToll]

Good ear! I was definitely quoting Millennium. I also tried to sneak in a little "If I were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof and some of the theme from Top Gun. Thanks for the compliment!

[@tzvilevine4021]

I seem to be one of the only people who have realized this! (being Jewish, it would be a crime not to!) This cover is still awesome in 2020! :)

its hard to explain, but every time you see something about an orchestra, you have to have people coughing, its uncanny
