you know... like a one or two weeks back... i watched this documentary on Niccolo Paganini... an extremely interesting character... anyway... i found this on youtube and it is crazy... it starts off fine... with the usual classical stuff... the starting sounds really familiar too... but after the halfway mark, it gets more and more crazy... cool stuff... and if you think that hammering and pull-offs are a modern rock guitar technique... hah! you are so wrong... paganini did it 200 years ago on a violin!... and since violins do not have frets like guitars... just imagine the precision required... yup... its crazy classical stuff...
anyway... since paganini existed before the time of videos and youtube... heres a video of Jascha Heifetz playing one of paganini's caprice.
anyway... just find on youtube this like 9 parts of a documentary on niccolo paganini... interesting... and there is also versions of this song by vanessa mae but i find this un-modernised and unadulterated version better.
