This is it! The moment you have all been waiting for! 
As suggested by Andrew Cockburn;
Good for you! Why not post a really awful audio clip to vindicate me and Pavel, then set about proving us wrong over the coming months 
So that is what I am doing

Time for some lessons me thinks
Posted by: Hemlok Jul 14 2007, 10:42 AM
I think so too. But I am just going to try learn on my own for 6 months, and then if that fails i smash it against the wall

Poor Violin 
Posted by: Hemlok Jul 14 2007, 10:56 AM
Yes it is very poor, very cheap, very lucky to have me stroking it with my mane on a stick

You can learn that song on any instrument And I must add Violin is extremely fun!!!!
But really hard to play, its too easy to hit sour notes. As you heard from my attachment

You're on your way, though - and no, it's not just "blind encouragement" - I've heard much worse bow feeling for a beginner trying out the instrument

Gee Thanks I think i might replace them missing strings then and, set aside an hour a day for this new toy
- Hemlok
P.S: Jameson Whiskey is very crisp(i think thats the word), no aftertaste. very pleased with it.

very pleased with it.Hey, that's cool! Next you have to learn "Arpeggios from hell" - its complicated
Posted by: Hemlok Jul 14 2007, 02:19 PM
Hey settle down!
Posted by: mattacuk Jul 14 2007, 02:20 PM
I want to see some tapping and sweep arpeggios out of this violin !
Posted by: Hemlok Jul 14 2007, 02:22 PM
Haha you crazy critter. Im not sure but i have a feeling that with 4 strings I will be much worse.
Posted by: Kaneda Jul 14 2007, 02:25 PM
Arpeggios from Hell on violin would be a disgrace to the violin!
Oh, and yes, your intonation is of course way off, but that takes years anyway
Might start out with tape markings for guidance - like "virtual frets" Just keep in mind to remove them again sooner rather than later.

It sounds like a million demons vomiting from the mouth of hell, buts its better than anything i could do. your getting there, keep it up!
PS: the smoke on the water thing was hilarious and pretty good, so just keep working at it.

Post something new, I want to hear how pro you've become on the violin 
Posted by: Toni Suominen Dec 9 2007, 01:16 AM
Thats a beautiful piece of music!
Posted by: Hemlok Dec 9 2007, 01:22 AM
well since I have not played since i recorded that, you will be in for a treat.
Posted by: Alucard Dec 9 2007, 02:24 AM
Ha, it sounded like 10,000 cats getting their tails stepped on at the exact same moment. But if i tried playing a violin, it would be 20,000...
Hey, who knows, with practice you may become very good!
Posted by: Hemlok Dec 9 2007, 02:30 AM
I knows
That I wont. I just picked it up again today and I noticed something there, so I am not giving up on violin now
Posted by: FretDancer69 Dec 9 2007, 04:49 AM
Ahhhhhh my ears
Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 9 2007, 04:52 AM

Posted by: nickmarx12345678 Dec 9 2007, 04:54 AM
LOL the horse at the begining really made me laugh
Nnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyuuuuuaaaaaaa
Posted by: spdalton Dec 9 2007, 08:13 AM
Eeek >.<
Actually, it was much better than you made it out to be.
But yeah... keep practicing
Posted by: fkalich Dec 9 2007, 09:25 AM
well since I have not played since i recorded that, you will be in for a treat.I have 8 cats and one mega catbox. I listened to your recording about 10 minutes ago. Then one of my cats gave me the "clean out the cat box look". So I cleaned out the cat box. My enjoyment level definitely increased over that of prior 10 minutes.
Just kidding. Actually you fine, under the circumstances. And none of my cats howled when I played your song, that is always a good sign.
Posted by: Hemlok Dec 9 2007, 09:56 AM
Gee thanks,
I like your piddle emoticon by the way. I think Kris needs to add it to the list.

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 9 2007, 02:53 PM
INteresting man, I think you got most of the notes correctly, but I must be honest and say that the sound IS terrible
Posted by: botoxfox Dec 9 2007, 03:33 PM
