    I performed this cover of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" with a loop pedal and effects pedals in a park in South Salt Lake. The police showed up during filming (11 pm) and said they'd received some complaints. After hearing me play it, however, they said I could take my time finishing and he drove away. :)

    Rob Landes is an award-winning violinist who started playing the violin at 3 years in Orem, Utah. Born to a large musical family, Rob gave his first solo recital at 10 years old, performed in the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on the Disney Channel with the Disney Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra, and founded a piano trio that performed actively throughout his teenage years. Rob has won first prize at numerous music competitions and has soloed with the Utah Symphony, Utah Valley Symphony, San Diego Chamber Orchestra, BYU Philharmonic, and BYU Chamber Orchestra. As a first violinist of the BYU Chamber Orchestra, Rob performed in more than twenty cities throughout central and southern Europe, and as concertmaster of the orchestra, gave a concert to a sold-out audience in New York’s Carnegie Hall. Rob was awarded full scholarships to attend Brigham Young University and Rice University where he earned a Bachelor’s in Music and Master’s in Music, respectively. While studying at Rice, Rob began covering rock and pop music, and upon returning to Salt Lake City after graduation, began playing with a looper pedal which he uses to create intricate and stunning arrangements of today and yesterday’s most popular music Rob recently won the award for "Best Instrumental" at the Utah Music Awards for his rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
    HUGE thank you to Nate Sorensen, one of Utah's most talented directors and cinematographers for shooting, directing, and editing this video.

      I would let people practice at my house. I’ve heard of neighbors complaining when people are playing their instruments in the daytime during hours when they themselves are running a tablesaw or a nail gun. I’m all for my musical neighbors practicing, windows open, especially any violinist!
      Persevere indeed! Your neighbors don’t get to vote on what you do with your time, or on the sounds that you make! Get in 2-3 hours of practice a day! 😊💕 They can use headphones and earplugs like the rest of us have to when they’re making their noises. I have to sleep with headphones or earplugs because of noisy day people. Practice being great, every session until you feel you’ve reached a good stopping point, progress made, and don’t go for less than your desired minimum time.
      Then one day, you’ll be so amazing, people will be flocking to hear you play, and you’ll be standing there, telling the world how you wouldn’t let anyone stand in your way to greatness (never name the troublemakers who tried to stop you, they enjoy the infamy)! The world moves aside for those who know where they’re going. Onward and upward! Full steam ahead!
