At last. I have found the strangest person on youtube.

[@jordangalida8387]

If you think this video is strange.............. This is his like most normal video.

[@inquisitvem6723]

this is actually a normal vid of his...lol...seriously though

[@cloudybrains]

I said the strangest person, not the strangest video. I just happened to comment on this one.

[@jupious01]

Ashuvain U clearly havnt found "filthy frank" yet.

[@lucasBR365]

Nnoitra Sama he hasn't witnessed the aids that is Filthy frank

[@frankyang]

awesome! don't be discouraged. Even if you can't play the Tchiak concerto, your neurons will still thank you when you are 60 years old.

[@Jazztifier]

Frank, you can't deny it. There is something magic with violins that keep us playing them. You sound very very good ! So much talent with this man.

[@lin2k4]

Damn this dude so alpha

[@lotusdedart]

Bbc

[@geitenbal]

Frank I love you man. But I'm gonna start learning it even though you recommend us not to. Why? Because I'm greater than the people you tell they can't learn it.

[@shareefbokai3094]

next day ... fuck this shit xD

[@mouhcineelhankouri7490]

+Geitenbal Vlek lol nerd

[@thoyo]

Geitenbal Vlek hey man! did you stick with it? I'd love to see your progress. this video lit a fire under my ass too

[@WerthersOriginal131]

ok so how is it going

[@asapGooby]

How have you been coming along?

[@Icanmakeanything]

Boy r u gifted, piano, guitar, violin, and fitness!

[@TheXV22]

"I'm frank yang and I don't give a fuck" haha, I loved that part

[@frankyang]

I didn't think about it like this either when i was playing it growing up. I never appreciated it until recently.

[@minjabens]

Master & Commander Violin & Cello duet scene is so beautifully done

[@MoriVal]

I have been playing the piano and the guitar for a couple of years now. I really wanted to play the violin next but I realized it's hard to know where every note is. It felt like walking without legs. Swimming without arms... and well... flying without wings. This video is excellent. Next step would be the vibrato. Good luck with that.

[@bassionbean]

You have helped me on my classical double bass journey. Thank you, o philosopher of universality.

[@Blagga0muffin]

i love this guys energy!

[@stevendayt97]

where the FUCK are the notes?!

[@BroBen]

Best music lesson ever

[@billbobfrd]

the way you describe this makes me feel pretty good... I played this thing for 10+ years before I quit and i never thought about the violin like this hahaha

[@FreekeeChakra]

Very impressive, my man. Beautiful playing. I've always wanted to learn violin, as it is the most soul-stirring instrument. You're quite talented! Love your channel!!

[@GirthGod]

awesome video man, very entertaining..ive always had a fascination with the violin but i can definitely appreciate it more now.

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

Frank, I have watched your content for years now, on and off, and I have also been a musician, specifically playing the guitar for 15+, and while I am proud of what I have accomplished, I feel this pales in comparison to playing the violin. I earnestly want to play at a point in my life, but I hope I did not waste my formative years learning, perceivably, an "inferior" instrument. I am slow with reading music, I imagine I could with practice, but prefer to make my own. I would love to hear anything you wrote specifically that is your own composition. Thank you for everything.

[@frankyang]

the difference is the spacing. however, during a piece when you shift around, there is no set fingerings so each time it's like a reset.

[@Chuchuguitar]

Frank You are amazing! You pushed what we call "limits of the human body and mind" way farther! I do disagree with some things that say and do(like the bbc crap) but that won't stop me from appreciating how great you are man. There are things that you talk/think about and share with us that are beyond a bachelor or masters degree of many other people and for you it might just be your normal talk or thinking. Thank you for sharing your greatness with us!

[@Dantheman1490d]

Wow what a stud. Your an awesome musician man!

[@aaronbenha]

I've been playing violin for 11 years. It is as hard as he says it is

[@Mr-R.R.]

Only 11? I've been playing it for 3 weeks

[@living4adrenaline]

@@Mr-R.R. I've never played and am going to start playing.

[@realvidzs]

So much talent in one video!

[@ALabelXpired]

frank, you are an amazing musician as you are a body builder

[@AlvaroFierroBeyou]

Frank Yang has goals and he makes them come true!!

[@frankyang]

there's no room for trial and error during the concert. Even if you move your fingers around during practice to get it in tune during "trial and error", you are still looking for the notes in the mind since you are not "LOOKING" at the fingerboard and frets. "Feeling" where the notes are with your finger on the board is still a purely mental act. The mind decides how far the fingers should be apart, etc.

[@frankyang]

yap. certain patterns of neural connectivity in the brain we call it "musical talent", others "artistic", still others " intelligence", etc. When you reduce it down to neurons, it's all pretty homogenous. Faster connection/stronger connection = better.

[@sx901]

awesome video frank, more violin vids like this!!!

[@frankyang]

Classical music is not just about complexity. It's is about feeling through complexity and complexity through feeling. The "feelings" invoked in classical music is as complex as emotions can go.

[@Valrek]

Good video, more like this! Going for the piano myself but always wanted to try the violin, maybe when I go into the woods and live only on worms and birds I catch, I can start on the violin..with guitar you can even cheat by doing an easy tuning. On a more serious note I feel the violin can really evoke feeling when played live.

[@frankyang]

How long did you play the violin for? If you switched to bass it probably means you didn't go deep enough with the violin. Are you able to play any of the major concertos?

[@imeeeli]

frank have you ever thought of joining an orchestra for money? Ive just finished my bachelor of music and think your sooo freekn talented man, youve got it all happening fitness, music and art

[@cdraico]

Speed is a hell of a drug kids.

[@frankyang]

strings are harder in general, i think One of my teacher's husband and daughter were wind players and she said that they just don't need to practice as much as strings. But cello is bigger so you don't need to be as precise but it's still difficult since there are no lines on the cello fingerboard either. To be a virtuoso in every instrument is hard. Some people do find piano or cello harder than the violin but in general, violin is still the hardest for most people.

[@Kry1212]

Amazing vid Frank. Could u post a classical music playlist or smth u listen too?

[@frankyang]

great book. also , " on creativity "

[@snookums2]

Thanks for your dedication. Really.

[@Madnoobs]

Omg you are so good at this! How long have you been playing for?

[@natasha.ixtlan]

Dude, you are NEXT LEVEL being

[@oxxstyle]

That was so awesome!!

[@frankyang]

you might learn it faster than non - musicians but take Sibelius for example, the great composer from Finland. He started violin at 15 and it was his aspiration to be a great virtuoso, but he never made it and had to admitted that he started it too late. He had enough "musical talent" in him to be a great composer, but it was still too late for him to learn. It's like asking if you are a great athletic already, whether it would be too late to start gymnastic at 16....the answer might be yes.

[@CuethesunA]

great explanation of the violin. had no idea it was that difficult to play

[@Bearymetric]

This was an excellent video Frank. I have played saxophone since a young age and am really into jazz and improv, how hard do you think it would be for me to learn piano?

[@snizshizzle]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Do you play professionally?

[@delphian]

wish i had your skill. i can't tolerate how boring it is to get there. awesome work!!

[@C0ldplaynb]

Song at 8:00 is Dilemma, by Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland since you all are interested

[@Radiation4TheNation]

It might be semantics, but the ability to configure large amounts of your neurons and form billions more couplings in a day than the person beside you can, in a particular context, within the middle third of any large sample, indicates we DO have natural abilities and they DO play a significant part in learning. A huge part.

[@aNbLiZz]

you are greatness

[@briskandpepsi]

You have some sick music talent. Not a girl, so even more impressed. Mirin’.

[@frankyang]

For the sake of the argument, just because a piece of music has many notes it does not mean it can't have emotion. Perhaps the complex emotions of turmoil or even happiness can only be expressed with a string of notes? On the other hand, I can surely play a long note without feelings at all. And certainly there are many instances where a classical composer writes one prolonged note to evoke certain emotions.

[@Star16438]

A humorous handsome man with a musical talent is just perfect ^_-

[@mrperfect3399]

thats some pretty sweet stuff bro

[@Radiation4TheNation]

There is such a thing as talent, known as aptitude, in the form of how your brain forms certain neural connections faster or slower than others compared to other individuals for some key subjects. Learning and abilities are largely a matter of neural connections, even many things perceived as physical actually often feature stronger neurological and nervous system factors than they do pure muscle development, let alone dexterity and coordination.

[@afrizzyy]

This video inspired me to start playing cello again

[@tsb555]

You are a beast bro!

[@antlp89]

Damn I respect those violin skills. Good shit dude.

[@t4d0W]

THanks for the general insight on the violin. Also good to put in perspective that people can pick up certain instruments but talent gives them potential to be in an elite class that distinguishes themselves such a virtuoso. For me, musical instruments are therapeutic and my own chance to explore my personal creativity. I just leave it to the more talented fuckers to make beautiful music for me to stimulate my mind.

[@frankyang]

That is true. But most composers can play instruments (at least keyboard). Musical talent can overlap, i guess playing and composing require some overlap as well, but not exactly the same kind of skill

[@HSVIRK]

best frank yang video i've ever seen.... no wait, the 8,000 calorie bulk was pretty epic.

[@demo081]

Damn ure good at fingering... Btw, having a well developed upper pec... Does it help to keep the violin stably rested?

[@sayedshou]

Very artistic and inspiring tutorial thank you...... tips on philosophy books to read like David bohm's dialogue?

[@DanielYoo]

pretty bad ass! Thanks for sharing!

[@Icemanactual]

I want to hear you play La campanella, or something else by Paganini! You're insanely goood!

[@phuku2703]

frank sick intro man, also nice vid

[@xlazym0nk3yx]

shieeet man. i played violen for 2 years when i was younger and loved it. regret stopping it, watching your vids motives me to start playing again. but then again in this vid you highly recommended that people dont play it. i did play for 2 years but nothing anywhere close to the complexity you do. shieet what do brah to pick it up again or not to...

[@Virtace3]

K. G. Vasili did you? I just got one, I played 10 years ago for like a year

[@Ilovethebong]

very talented dude

[@frankyang]

Definitely. Increase grey matter, spatial thinking skills, creativity, etc. There are studies that indicate that starting musical instrument as a child will increase IQ by as much as 10 points. And if you believe me that violin is the hardest to learn, then it would be a good idea.

[@frankyang]

idk, never mesaured it. IQ is important in some endeavor but not as much in others. an IQ of 130 is sufficient for almost anything actually, everything else, creativity takes over...and creativity is a lot harder to measure. A lot of psychologists believe that IQ and creativity correlate only up to 120 or so. Nobody knew Darwin, Brahms, Mozart, and Da Vinci's IQ.

[@Notchworld]

Frank your so funny man. Much respect for all your art.

[@maryix]

love this man

[@firemoon00]

You are an awsome violinist :) How long have you been studying?

[@2brothersofstrength]

Try fingerstyle guitar . The violin is mostly linear playing melodies vs piano playing two or more parts or finger style guitar where there is three parts to play and think simultaneously . The left hand fingers the chords and melody lines while in the right hand the thumb must act independently and play the bass and the index finger and middle finger play their own parts as well. Blind Blake .

[@frankyang]

Are your friend music majors?

[@worldlone]

Ur the best frank

[@NormS36]

Great video Frank. Look up On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter if you don't know about it already, great piece with a "millimeter" mistake.

[@frankyang]

thanks MAN~

[@stuqua]

How separable is the ability to compose great music from the ability to be able to play (well) the instruments involved?

[@Budjha]

I do agree that blues for example focuses more on "soul". But "soul" can also be found in a lot of classical pieces. The different dynamics in the piece is what it makes so good. If classical music was played at one type of velocity (this is almost impossible) it would sound robotic. This is obviously not the case with most pieces.

[@Lagspike99]

What are the odds that on the day im buying my first violin u upload a tutorial :) Ill watch this later!

[@Dluu22]

man this makes me want to play the violin again. i miss high school :(

[@frankyang]

"scaled down really small" - that is the difficult part.And even if the guitar has a fret the violin still requires an extra motion-bow hand, which i would bet is much more difficult than what you do with your right hand on the guitar I responded to your post on my other violin video about drums too. You can get an older person to start the guitar and drum and he can be pretty good. Not so the violin.If you think violin is so easy, perhaps .you should accept my twinkle challenge.

[@pbj524]

Frank before buying a violin should i study and learn to read it? Or handle it and learn together

[@gerisboyle]

Amazing!

[@itsguilherme]

I think you could film yourself playing 4:33 by John Cage. It's a marvelous piece.

[@UltimaXG2]

Also, can you play Variations on a Theme from Carmen, by Horowitz? I'd love to see you play that just because you can really go crazy on it, in some spots.

[@3wonderfuls2]

I just had a thought. You should make a channel of you playing covers of pop songs, video game songs, etc. You'll be the most muscular musician on youtube!

[@frankyang]

not all composers can be great virtuoso, and vice versa. Although there are over laps

[@pr4nk5tr]

I don't know squad about violins, be he seems to play world class. Do you play big concerts and stuff?

[@Jiekaii]

Does the violin help with other aspects of intelligence other then solely music? I'm deciding on whether I should give my son violin lessons or not.

[@Kamdonion]

Frank, I started playing cello when I was 8, and played until I was 14. I had to stop afterwards, but I'm 19 now and would love to pick it up again. I was first cello in the youth orchestra I was in (not bragging, just showing I didn't suck) Do you think I'd have a chance? I have the motivation and determination, I'm just worried I've lost too much time.

[@FreedomOfSport]

Was about to say that it would be great to be able to play violin or piano and guess what, you play both, oh lawd.

[@PockylauP]

You're an inspiration. :D

[@TheMegumi1]

Fascinating. More progress videos on the Tchaikovsky please.

[@iguanaman07]

im glad you made the video frank. but in your opinion what instrument is te second hardest?

[@frankyang]

What kind of a doc are u now?

[@0corpsefan0]

you are a genius

[@christopherxl]

Frank how long have you been playing? How old were you when you started? You're as good as some of my friends, who are among the best ~20 somethings in the US. Tchaikovsky in D is my favorite piece of all time. Good shit bro.

[@BenjaminKuruga]

Being someone who has studied music theory, I can say that being able to play an instrument is difficult, but the challenge lies within what you play. Classical/Finger-picking styles of guitar, Classical pieces that are extremely lively on piano, and obviously, lively pieces for the violin. Really though, playing music and composing music are two different things. I wanted to ask whether or not you were well in music theory?

[@hokage890]

Do you think that any instrument without frets or other ways of giving you the notes such as cello, double bass and viola could be just as hard as the violin?

[@JakeBoer]

Frank I hope you read this. You are a man with many, many talents. It's hard to believe your bipolar or have ADH as you have mentioned in previous videos. If so, how did you manage to sit so long to learn how to play the violin. Did the music sooth you or were you on medications? Just curious. I love watching your videos you are a very interesting and talented person.
