    Pretty sick.

    I play the violin, it can get pretty fun at times, but it's sometimes a frustrating motherfucker too.
    I really wanna get an electric violin, because it would be sick to get to play around with distortion and different audio effects while playing a violin.

    Go for it :D

    thats pretty cool...ive always wanted to learn the violin and i only assume electric would be cool haha...i taught myself to play guitar but ive heard violin is a lot harder to get the bow skill down right along with their not being any frets for reference

    its really easy to make a piezo pickup for a violin that you can plug into an amp. ive made one for one of my acoustic guitars and it works great. just need an old smoke detector, some tape, and some wires...and of course an amp and instrument cable

    I already know how to play the accoustic a little bit.

    ...and the guitar, along with every other dude under the age of 21?

    Or you could play both, like I do :D

    Yeah, the fret thing can fuck you over a bit. At first it's hard to get your fingers right, since just putting your finger down a couple of millimeters from the right spot can make a note flat or sharp.

    The electric violin isn't the same as an electric guitar.

    You need to pretty much know how to play an acoustic one in order to be able to play an electric one well. (and not just make noise... even though I got nothing against noise)

    Ok man, stop trying to be so different then anyone else.

    When you trying to be different it's worse than being the same. ;)

    Trust me, it's bad ass. I was at a Josh Gracin concert while in South Dakota, and he had a guy in the band who played electric violin. It sounds soooo awesome while distorted, he when he played black dog everyone started going crazy

    you conformist bastard.

    just kidding, but it's not like I have anything against guitar, or like the reason I'm going to learn is because i want to be different, so you're wrong.

    If that were the case you wouldn't have said "like every other guy under 21".

    It's almost as if you stride to be an outcast or something.
