  • With respect to Adam DeGraff of The Dueling Fiddlers, for showing that this could be done! (High School talent show, October 2011.)
    In response to many questions in the Comments: I picked this up by ear from the Dueling Fiddlers album 'Rock Violin', plus the Led Zep original of course. Check out the Dueling Fiddlers' Facebook page for more awesome rock violin... or if you want the sheet music, Adam DeGraff now has it available here:
    adamviolin.com/... . Check it out!

    At the beginning I was thinking, "Oh, this is cool! Doesn't sound too hard, I bet I could learn this..." and then he got to the middle of the song and I started grinning like a maniac
    Rock on, dude

    Phenomenal! Excellent fingering, bowing, and pizzicato. Great tone and harmonics as well. Nice interpretation of the original rock song. Glad he kept it in the classical genre. Very well done!!!!

    Incredible stuff, solo violin impresses me so much. It's really hard to play a violin by itself and make it sound good without accompaniment. Great work

      @KastaLimpa 9 лет назад +4

    @settsdevil 10 лет назад +18

    man, i thought i could play stairway on the piano pretty good but that was insane. especially the buildup midway. the awesome guitar/violin section before "And as we wind on down the road... " bow de bow de bow de bow bow now ... I didnt think you could play a violin like an electric guitar but i guess you can. best violin solo ever.

    ok, just bought Adam's sheet, it's nice, little different from this version (just using lower octaves than here,but you can mix and change when you play). It's not to difficult, it needs couple of hours - but i've finished academy, so it's intermediate-high level for begginers. cheers, it's really fun though!

  • @lukesantomartino2859
    @lukesantomartino2859 9 лет назад +7
