Good eye! Actually I borrowed it from Orange Blossom Special. There’s this part where you mimic the train on OBS, I just applied it in this setting with a different intent/rythm
@@ViolinOnFire OBS. But this is different! I know of the technique you refer to. You have taken it to a new level. I'm a violinist. Your intonation is perfect. Keep going. You're teaching me a lot.
my bow hold is a mixture of 3 different styles. for classical influence i use a 'franco-belgian' hold..many americans use this ..itzhak perlman, probably the hold's best player...but i also use fiddle hold which i why i scoot my hand up just a little bit ..also a little big of romanian gypsy and celtic as well...someone in classical might see this as untrained..but i have spent much time developing my hand for the sound that i want.oh, before i forget.thank you for sharing a bit of your story :)
I mostly played classical. You ad a style the only seems undisciplined, in my opinion it is not only unique but its just great as any classical concerto but could be added to any Philharmonic and sound just as wonderful. Keep ip the good work.
When you speak through an instrument, put your soul into it, this is the out come... The story told is a deep one, that many cant undersrand, cant interpit the frequencies... Once you can open your mind, the emotions will flow and the story become clear... love it
Hey man you have mad skillz, your'e like Jimi Hendrix on a Violin. Keep on doin what your doing, you can see and here the passion of your craft. Kudos!
its not just playing hes feeling the music run threw his body giving the audience goosebumps ticking the back of there neck crawling down their spine :) ♥
Absolutely yes he is. I am so overwhelming impressed with this gift of a lifetime. Bless you buddy. My sons are fabulous guitarists and you stand alone with them. I listen to you often and so blown away by you.
I've been listening to this for SO long now and STILL haven't commented on it because I'm forever getting lost in it!!! Your face when you play makes me actually FEEL the song... seriously... you are freaking amazing!!! Can't get enough of this song... just wish the weeknd would sing it to you playing!!! OMG... I would probably go into sensory overload! Hahaha! Amazing though...
You're amazing. you give me the chills and have bought back such positive beautiful memories for me!! thankyou.. I wish you could come to Australia. OMG your just so incredible.. bringing tears to my eyes of happiness and the memories of being a child and my only happy place was the violin yet I never learnt how to play properly! such purity when you play!!!
Saw him perform live at a Michael Jackson tribute. He's an amazing violinist and and amazing performer at the same time. He puts his sole into the music. He interacts with the audience. He can even dance while performing. Traditional classical artists never innovate. Patrick Contreras can do classical and so much more. By far the violinist I've ever heard play in my 40 years alive
In total "AW!" by this cover. Would love more covers by hendrix and the weeknd! The dopest cover I've seen thus far on youtube! I would totally purchase this!
Thanks Tommy! check out my soundcloud - violinonfire ..or lots more on my youtube channel. just put up a new cover of the weeknd's 'enemy' this morning
12 years later n I still go back n can get my head clear hearing u play patrick
Years later & this is still AMAZING!
Thanks!
at 4:12: I have never seen this violin technique before and it's a good one.

I believe this is a great example of how the electric violin should be played. Just awesome - you are the violin on fire!!!
Dude I'm at a loss for words.
I'm almost in tears. The pain you have in this song is amazing. If you ever do a concert I wanna be there
Dude, what a great job, felt like listening to the guitar playing riffs on.
thank you!
Omg young man I'm in awwwww .you are gifted
I still come back to this masterpiece - 9 years later

I never knew there was different styles of bows. That interesting

You did an AMAZING job. I love that you mentioned Itzhak in your comments. He is the best!
@@anthonymartin1753 He's talking about the bow hold.
Almost 7 yrs since I found this video, and it still gives me chills. I hope you're doing well Patrick!
10 years still on fire!
This is the most badass violin cover I've ever heard.
That was an INSANE rendition of Wicked Games!!! Didn't know a violin could shred like that!
Off the chain with it!!! str8 bad ass version of this cut.
i dint think you could rock out on the violin but you deff just proved me wrong. this is awesome.
В каком-то моменте напомнило нашего Курехина.
Браво!
Gave me chills.... You're amazing!
deedeegetfit thanks!

One word could not describe this..absolutly breath taking and moving .great job
to me you put your soul onto your music. more then others! you can feel emotion come from the sound and see it on your face.
Jarad Cornett thank you! Once I start playing the emotions come out. Thanks for noticing that
Thats what some people lack. They have talent but no emotion
LUV LUV LUV LUV THIS! You're a perfect example of why music and the arts should not be removed from our schools. Thank you Thank you!
I plan to play just as good.... but for now i must admit I've never felt more happy to play the violin... thank you very much for the music.
Just amazing talent. We need to get Patrick touring. I hear Dave Matthews Band is looking for a violinist. LOL
MrBad Dog lol
The sound is so deep & addictive... Can't help but play it over & over.. Patrick Contreras got it going on....
