well I have to say, he did improove a lot from last video... but still some problems with the bow... he should use more the wrist... if you notice he doesnt use the wrist at all... if he would start playing the motto perpetuo he would finish it with a huge pain in this neck because he isnt using the wrist.

Jesus Christ man. Why aren't you in his shoes then? Why isn't that you up there and with a huge following? Jealousy is the problem. Still, you sit behind your computer screen and tap out this rubbish you write. It's a shame that you have to try and put down pure talent and you're the type of person who's fault it is that we have crappy tarty pop bands and computerized hip-hop.

his improvisation ... ( 1 year ago by Dunwee)

his improvisation sounds pretty average compared to most good guitarists and hes playing such similar licks. and on top of that most of his solos sound identical. i think hes a good singer and a good violinist but im not so sure he deserves such huge credit. there was guys doing this way before him and here everyone is calling him a revolutionist. i like that he took the initiative to learn to improvise when many violinists wouldnt but hes very over rated. hes great for 15 however.

hey, shaka04, that's the best answer i ever heard!
there's no doubt that antonio is a great violinist. and you can't really compare a guitar and a violin, because many more people get very good at the guitar than on the violin. you know, guitar is the "cool" instrument. not when you've seen antonio
