YouTube Star Lindsey Stirling Gives Us Violin Lessons!

[@EllieLight1]

Wow has Lindsey come a long way. She now has 19 songs with more than 10 million views (Katie Perry only has 20), her song "Crystallize" has over 100,000,000 views, her KZbin channel "Lindsey Stirling" (changed from Lindseystomp) has 703,152,812 views and 5,164,249 subscribers.

[@ariellewest5024]

She was highly criticised on whatever that talent show on TV is or was. She's good, but I also agree with Colonel Gayfur is that she has sex appeal and she's very small and looks very cute in costumes and outfits. There are many pros whom play better than she, but they also don't look like her.

@@ariellewest5024 Hello. If there are many that play better, shouldn't their stats show it? Sorry, but Lindsey's stats PROVE she's better than, "She's good...". Lindsey has been playing the violin for *31* years and she added dancing *20.5* years ago. They say to be an expert at something, you need 10,000 hours. Lindsey has 30,000 hours. Every concert and show has been SOLD-OUT. *Would you buy a ticket ($100-$200) to a "fake or bad" show?* Lindsey has 13.9 million subs, 4.5 billion views, 131 music videos, hundreds of misc. videos, 6 full albums, 25+ violins, and has toured the world many times. Lindsey is a Professional. In fact, I like saying, "Almost anyone can stand around and play Bach. But how many can play AND dance to Michael Jackson?" I have collected some KZbin videos of Lindsey that may help you... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ_HpmedlNhoa9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4nTY3ypj69nY5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4utl6itgdSdi5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqklaqjfZVjn5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3WYlX6PmseFf6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PFZYCInZikrac kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWaTonuahbGbaZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYi4n3WAfLdjeZY

I play guitar AND violin, but believe me... Play violin it's not easy ._.

[@the0nly1one]

I have played Violin since i was in 6th grade and i am now a senior. i love playing it a lot, you can easily channel your emotions through every note you play and make it mirror how you feel. Honestly it gives me that adrenal rush that i love to feel.

[@Pkiser88]

Lindsey, you are a breath of fresh air. I'm also Mormon and play the violin. My daughters are 9 and 12. Both are learning the violin at their schools. It

[@Tony007corp]

Its awesome i saw her last concert here from her first tour last month so much fun!

[@hannahconley3918]

Oh my gosh, baby Lindsey! She looks so different

[@Rocky_L]

It's really amazing to see her grow over time, then go back to something as old as this to see that snapshot in time.

[@hannahconley3918]

Right? She's really done well

[@CalistoLP]

I wanna learn the violin - will begin with lessons next year :)

[@OneWillowMatt]

As a Violinist myself, I can't agree more It's an incredibly touchy instrument and even the slightest step off the note can change the entire sound of the violin. The single hardest instrument I have ever tried to learn.

[@Shoshii]

jasmincitaa Perez ....A violin

[@sarahann4007]

An old one! The one in this video is like 100 years old. She has several others including electric ones which are Yahamas I believe.

[@eggaweb]

A $50 VSO, kidding!

[@cutie4388901]

Same here! Im just learning vibrato, Nit I've gotten the hang of it!

[@PeterGKO]

It is easy to play the Violin, but playing it and not making ear shattering noise is the part that takes great skill. ( This comment is not an insult)

[@MrVampify]

Same, I play a little bit of violin and i know guitar, the fact that it doesn't have frets makes it hard to almost no end, it's like learning to play a song without looking at the fretboard

[@krisvicious666]

I've had an electric violin for a few years now. Finally able to get the amp for it. It'll be here soon! I recently got two more violins a few days ago. One of them also uses an amp, the other doesn't. I've listened to Lindsey's music for years and saw her in concert with Evanesence and many times I got so choked up with Lindsey's music and performance, it's amazing! My biggest goal to play on my violin is Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold. I've wanted to do that for many years. There's no violin covers or violin sheet music for that song. I play by ear, and hopefully will figure it out. I've been playing Lindsey's music on my bass guitar for years. xo

[@picasillo]

me encantan sus canciones ^^ espero pronto suba algún tutorial de como tocar el violín

[@rainbelle99]

yeah..I wanna learn :D

[@TheFennieYap]

Keep playing Lindsay! You have found yourself with your violin, and doing well!

[@astridmyst]

I loved this video! xD Everyone in the comments is saying playing violin is easy or hard.. well it is hard! I have been playing viola for years and still hardly know anything, its super hard! I hope I can play as well as Lindsey someday!

[@emu4096]

So true. Breathing's really healthy. We should all try it sometime. ;)

Are there drum rudiments? RRLL stuff? Does she master fast stuff? Does she practice speed for endurance, to play longer? Should listen

I love Lindsey!! She's my favorite musician of all time! :D

[@pinknarcissus005]

Lindsey's coming to Sweden on her Europe tour! So exited!!!

[@FrOzENskyguy]

you are so right ...I think Lindsey stoped her friendship with Devin since US - tour cause I didn't hear anything anymore about their teamwork on youtube :/ that's sad...

[@chuytaffy]

REALLY- learning any instrument well, and then professionally, is difficult. Although I would have to say string instruments without frets is more challenging to learn than other instruments because of getting the correct hand positions, posture, memorizing the placement of notes, tone, listening, and technique that is involved. Even having all of these down, most may only sound decent.

[@ronsan1232]

Merry Christmas Lindsey Stirling . Hooray :D

[@CalistoLP]

I agree to the reporter.... It's amazing !!! :)

Wow, so I look up Bond because Lindsey mentioned them and I find they did my favorite song on XXX: State of the Union. I've loved that song since the first time I saw the movie, but I just never looked it up lol

[@wondrash]

I can't believe she managed to sit still in the beginning!

[@lee1davis1]

LINDSEY STIRLING IS AWESOME!

[@Salieri01]

Oliver and Lindsey should talk more!

[@Wanderthelandscape]

And also this guy has clearly not seen classical violinists play much harder pieces, extremely technically advanced pieces that takes a looooot of dedication to play. Don't get me wrong, i absolutely adore Lindsey. She's my favorite artist of all time and I love playing her songs, and i'm not ranting about her. I'm ranting about people like the interviewer who thinks she's a "master of the violin" and that "i've never seen fingers move like that".

[@timgrant1219]

You do have a good point, but... They say to be a master or an expert at something, you need 10,000 hours at it. Lindsey has 30,000 hours. As I like to say, "Do something for 30 years and you gonna be very good at it." I understand that EVERYONE, even Lindsey doesn't think she is the Best. (Although, I definitely do think she is The Best. Of course, she being my Girlfriend is one of the reasons why I'm so biased. Thank God!) Lindsey was Classically trained for the first 12 years of her career. Then she got burned out on the Classics. She wanted to perform and entertain not just impress. She wanted to create the New. NOT regurgitate the old. So people shouldn't sell Lindsey short because she can literally run circles around any violinist. Anyone can play Bach on a violin. How many can play Michael Jackson on the violin AND dance at the same time? Here are some videos of Lindsey that might help you understand more... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ_HpmedlNhoa9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4nTY3ypj69nY5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4utl6itgdSdi5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqklaqjfZVjn5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3WYlX6PmseFf6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PFZYCInZikrac kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWaTonuahbGbaZY

[@timgrant1219]

How could it have been you? Why would God pick you? You don't even believe in Him. How can you show Lindsey the Way, if you don't even know it yourself? Find Jesus and He will help you find your own woman. Good Luck.

[@timgrant1219]

Hello again. I came across this post and normally I use the videos I listed above as a way to help people see that Lindsey is way better than they know. Of course, I'm still promoting Lindsey but recently she did another song that really surprised me. And I added it to my list of Lindsey videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYi4n3WAfLdjeZY

[@timgrant1219]

Hello again. I recently learned that even though she got burned out on the Classics, she still likes them. Lindsey said that they gave her an Excellent and Solid foundation. Needless to say, I was very pleasantly surprised when she did this song... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYi4n3WAfLdjeZY

it takes a long time to learn the violin, years.

How the heck did I get a ❤️ I think she has one (she is one of my favorite)

[@PlusSe7en]

Lindsey + Skrillex + Nero = Heaven

[@Pizzaplanet101]

Playing violin takes a lot of time and patience :D :)

[@JeEhaO]

While the Violin might be be hard to play, I do not think that it is that hard to learn if you really want to play the Violin and have a lot of spare time. It would take years to become as good as Lindsey but it is not impossible if that is what some people want.. Just do the basics until you know how the violin works and all that and then you can go for more advance stuff when you feel that it is not that hard anymore.. After some years you will also play the violin like a pro ^^

[@kelanth462]

Lindsey is amazing! She is so genuine and open. Can't wait to see her on the next tour. AGT = FAIL

[@torrismithee146]

I'm gonna look up all those violinist.

[@ThePaulschlater]

Playing the violin is so much fun isn't it! If you want to check out a great resource for learning violin Go to Google and Type in "Violin Tutor Pro" (it is the first search result) I just got done watching some of Michael Sanchez's videos on KZbin. He has live lessons on Google hangout.

[@TheDigileet]

Lindsey Stirling and Skrillex. I would love to see that.

He is so VERY captivated, but ho wouldn't be? :D Go Lindsey!

[@K4daniel]

Lol funny that Lindsey hear Vanessa Mae and BOND.. I heard them for years until I searched a artist similiar to Vanessa Mae and I found Lindsey Stirling :)

[@CSRgamer]

So how do you know how easy it is to play? You a proffesional?

Im headed off to rehab in a while. Gonna be listening to a station based on you while im there. You're an amazing woman Never thought of marriage until I discovered you but now I know there are women like you who are genuine.

[@leverseidge1990]

every time i see people play the violin, who just wants to have ago, they make it so hard. thats wot i was like when i started.

[@mariepascual5665]

I learned shifting, vibrato and scales in three years, but that's only because I practiced every day, anything is possible to you have to work really hard I

[@brandeenordhagen288]

I read in some of the comments here that "Playing violin is easy".....take this from a violinist of 8 years.....ITS NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS! You have to know the correct finger patterns for every position on the neck of the violin on each string, and have it dead on the spot, otherwise you can distort the note...meaning you can make the note either flat or sharp. That's not even the beginning of it. I'm still learning more and more even though I've been playing for 8 years. fuckin haters.
