Well, I posted my first video on the "video coming soon," thread, so please give me some advice on how to better my technique on there :-) however, I wanted to share a video that will be inspiration, as some day I want to be able to play this song, as it is one of my dad's favorites, and I wish to surprise him in church one day. Enjoy:

I wonder if that link is the right one? It took me to

LeBron James jumps over John Lucas for alley-oop: Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat

What's the song?

I've learned so much from my mistakes that I've decided to make some more.

Hi SirRyu! Now that you are back, what is your progress towards your goal? I am not rushing you. Take your time. Good luck.

I too have a few songs I would love to perfect and play at church. I love the vid...it is very emotional and I love the expression in the kids face. You can tell he feels every note he plays. Touching.

Thanks for posting this SirRyu. It's a beautiful performance. I love that song. I have Susan Boyle's version on my iPod and just the other day listened to it driving to work. I thought to myself that it might be a good song for the violin. Will have to look up the sheet music.

BTW, I also found this video helpful watching his bow hold and vibrato.

thumbs-up

When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

I am still workings towards the goal! Not quite there yet, but again, its all about persistence, practice and determination. But I know one day I will be able to play this piece!
