Great rendition of the Beatles' Let it Be on cello and violin. The violinist is 15 and the cellist is 16 and they do a great job and are obviously having an absolute ball playing.

    It's embarrassing to be a guitarist after you watch musicians doing stuff like this...makes me want to be a kid again so I can choose differently and start all over.
      He shredded! ? on a violin! ? and it sounded better than every metal shred ever in the universe ever! Mind blown!
        That is fantastic!!!! :woohoo:

                I was one of those kids playing all the instruments that are not so cool around a campfire with your buddies.
                Imagine pulling out a Saxophone on a hunting trip... :?

                  As far as this forum goes it seems to just come with the territory - But I'll still call people out for using definitives :?

                      This is what music is about no? Senses peaked. Enjoying the music.
                        I might also add that it just goes to show what great musicality Paul McCartney can produce. Those two guys have a great arrangement, but that arrangement derives from the original melody and harmonies and arrangement.

                          Absolutely. He does have an annoying habit of getting a little too cloyingly twee at times though. In the Beatles Lennon added the edge. When it comes to the harmonies and arrangement though, I think George Martin had an often overlooked but huge influence on the songs.

                            It may be revisionism, or it may be the truth ? but what I understand is that at as time went by Paul in particular had more and more input into the arrangements. Thing was he couldn't write music down properly, so he'd whistle or hum parts to Martin who would then transcribe them so that the orchestral players they often hired would have a proper score to work from.
