The Electric Violin?

Now I have always been a sap for the violin. Its sound, its appearance- I always loved its melody. I love jazz, and jazz has always been up there when it comes to my more preferred genres of music, but when I heard this on you tube the other day, I thought ‘this is simply amazing!’ I have fallen in love with the electric violin.

First of all, I know it takes great talent to be able to play any musical instrument. In my lifetime I have always been more active in sports than inclined to play music. Grade seven and eight music class I played percussion; grade four-six I played the yukele, and prior to that, the recorder. One year Santa Claus brought me a nice Casio Keyboard for Christmas which I learned to play by ear (one hand). Yet, I think one of my biggest regrets is not learning how to play one instrument (aside from the drums) well. 

I love all kinds of music, it really all depends on my mood, so this video (when I came across it) was a very big deal to me. I like AC/DC, but to hear it on the electric violin was a trip and a half. Just listen.
