shot this video about 3 weeks ago, and its got some decent internet attention, but i really wanna rock a fender violin. gonna try and submit this, love any feedback - patrick contreras

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 f*****g unreal

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

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

much kudos

Awesome stuff!!

I didn't know Fender made violins either, but they do.
