Great stuff Patrick.

The joy of seeing any instrument played well, and with comittment, just never gets old. Rock on there indeed.

I don't know if Fender make a violin, so maybe it's not the best company to choose for sponsorship. Good luck anyway..

Fantastic. Maybe Fender ought to make their first violin a signature for you. Jean Luc Ponte is the only violinist I've ever known by name. Maybe you'll be the second. Keep playing, you have a lot of talent.

Cool stuff man, nice chops! If I'm not mistaken, I've heard that only touring musicians can get sponsored by Fender. Best of luck. :)

That was interesting. I'd love to see the rest of the gear you were playing through.

that was f*****g unreal :o :o :o :o

that is easily one of the best things ive seen on youtube. both for the talent and sound, but also for the sheer surprise of that noise coming out of your violin. incredible.

ive 'introduced' it to my facebook friends - all helps right :lol:

and now i feel the urge to go out and buy an e-bow for my guitar.

much kudos

im running out of a 2x12 hot rod deville deluxe, and a cry baby wah. no preamp.

other than a little touch of reverb/delay from the engineer the sound is pretty much untouched.

if you guys are interested in checkin' out some more of my stuff i have a page (don't we all) at http://www.facebook.com/pcviolin ....you can download music for free and see videos etc etc ..

thanks for the support everyone, feels good to be accepted into a guitar forum
