      Roger Wilkie, the violinist who performed Jhin's theme, is not a virtuoso?.. Roger Wilkie has been the concertmaster of the Long Beach Symphony for over 27 years. He has appeared as a soloist throughout his career with the Symphony, performing the concertos of Brahms, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and more recently Sibelius to critical acclaim.
      Ray is awesome and plays well, but I think Roger did it damn well too.. Since he also was the 2nd violinist in John Williams orchestra for the Star Wars movies.

    I really enjoyed listening to this track not only because it sounds terrific but also because I like when musicians make music different to what they usually play and get out of the comfort zone so to speak. In my book a musician that can perform different genres of music and can do it well is a great musician.

    Hey ray! You may already know this but this solo is in a video from digital combat simulator (a flight simulator) (it’s a really cool video)I don’t just play the violin I’m also getting my private pilots license and that’s how I found it (because I’m a nerd for planes) so if you want to see it or anyone else wants to, you can go to digital combat simulators RUclips channel (aka eagle dynamics) and it should be there.
