If you can play something slowly, you can play it quickly.

So I played it very slowly and then I got a little quicker.

And eventually I got to 15 notes a second.

We're about to bag out this guy who claims to be the fastest violinist in the world.

This is what our channel is becoming now.

And no, we're not talking about this guy.

Seven billion population, all the Ling Lings, but this guy is faster than all of them.

And you know it's gonna be legit because it's on BBC news.

What gave you the idea of playing, I mean obviously you've (been) probably playing the violin since you're a kid, but playing it fast?

Well, I was knocked off in a bike accident cycling around London about four years ago.

My band mate in the band Fuse said, "Ben, why don't you see this as a target of rehabilitation?"

Why don't you go for this Guinness World Record?

So straight off, he's got the inspirational story prepared.

Actually, I don't know if you guys know this, but I was in a wheelchair before.

So I told Eddy like, "Look man, why not just hit 10 million subs?"

So, let's hit 10 mil (million) subs (subscribes) guys!

If you haven't sub (subscribes), please click the smash the smusubcribe.

And let's hit 10 million subs (subscribes).

Because the world needs to know classical music is more than just playing fast.

Just give us a few bars of a normal pace.

Ｗhy is there five strings on that "thing" ?

It's made out of wood and has four strings and a body.

It's like not actually a violin, it's a subcategory of a violin.

I think some people might not understand.

Automatically if you're playing an electric violin, that's already like cheating.

Because you don't need to worry about projection.

Okay, it's a violin and an electric violin.

The title should be fastest electric violin/ viola in the world.

That looks pretty fast to me anyway. Now...

Absolutely, with practice, if you can play something slowly, you can play it quickly.

Yeah guys, if you can play it slow, just play it quickly!

Wait, but if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.

I couldn't hear a single one of them cause it sounds like...

- Yeah, it's mumble rap. - You can't hear a single note.

What's the point of playing fast if you're not playing the notes?

When you learn an instrument, it's all about playing.

Then, play fast if the piece is meant to be fast.

Play fast the right notes and hear every single note!

Presumably you could do that with any piece that you chose.

I mean now are there already a kind of almost sacrilegious that it's a slow piece, and it should never be played at speed.

Well, I think Paganini was one of the first violin rock stars.

And his music, like Flight of the Bumblebee, is full of quick notes that are continuous.

That's a great way of dodging a question.

Hey Brett, is there any sacrilegious pieces that should not be played fast?

Semiquavers, you have to play four per click for the Guinness World Record, and like that, to be able to play 810 notes in under a minute.

You could do the same with Paganini, something like "Molto Perpetuo", which means always moving, that kind of thing

But you also have to play the right notes!

Paganini "Molto Perpetuo", which means always moving, except you forgot to move your left hand fingers!

What I was told that when we were doing this piece, there was this Incredibly valuable violin.

It is an incredibly valuable violin, but it's not what I kind of expected.
