Hello guys!
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
And today I'm repping the pianists.
- Piano gang. - Mmm!
Eddy's repping the violin pill gang.
And also actually...
- The drink, sleep, practice, repeat... - Mug.
because you've got to stay hydrated.
Yes, exactly.
To practice really well.
As you all know it,
this is the most talented subreddit ever: r/lingling40hrs.
So we're gonna jump straight into it,
and review all these awesome, talented memes.
First one:
Oh, okay okay, here we go.
- I'm getting some over-achieving— - Yeah, over-achieving.
vibes right now.
Dude!
Holy moly! It's not just doctor, like,
"Harvard doctor."
So the top of the top of the top doctor.
At least he doesn't have Menuhin competition.
(both) Not yet.
But that's so interesting because it's, like,
- such different skills. - So different, yeah.
Oh! That would be so bad!
"Why are you still at home playing Nintendo Switch?
Jonny being Navy SEAL
and then he become doctor,
and then he go to the space
because Earth is too easy mode."
- And it takes balls to go to space. - It takes balls, yeah, yeah.
- He's got courage, he's got strength, he's got intellect. - He's got everything.
Damn.
Maybe if you're a pop musician,
but we all know that classical musicians,
we don't do this.
We do practice every day.
Yeah, so true!
- It's like our version of it. - Yeah, that's our version of it, yeah.
- Oh, I've seen this one before. - Really?
Yeah... Nice!
Duh, it's perfect pitch.
- Hear it in your head. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've done this a lot of times actually.
Just on public transport studying scores.
Learning the other parts
before your teacher roasts you.
Notation is like its own language,
that people from around the world
- can read and understand. - Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, someone said:
Yeah, this is actually more common
than this meme might make it look like
for musicians.
- I'm pretty sure most musicians have done this - Oh, a hundred percent.
at some point when going to a lesson
- or a recital, or a performance. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They're like, "F***, I haven't studied this enough." Yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh! - Oh my God!
Ugh!
I think I've seen this before actually.
It's pretty funny though.
- Like, I can see why someone would think that. - It would make sense!
Why would there be four holes if it wasn't...
Ah, four strings!
If this was like an escape room,
- that's what you'd probably do. - Yeah.
No, the strings go on top.
Yeah, to be honest,
I think that bridge looks way too big...
for the violin.
Like, look at that fingerboard.
Like, you know what I mean?
- It does, yeah. - And also the top needs that...
- You need that line for the strings. - The ridges.
- Yeah, it's a very sus bridge. - Yeah, sus bridge.
You know what else is sus?
Uh...
Wait, give me give me a second
to Google the punchline of this joke.
G sus 4.
I don't know my jazz notation's names.
So bad.
Alright, let's move on.
- That's nice. - Oh, nice!
Just make sure they're not a kidnapper,
- and a genuine musician, and you're good to go. - Yes, and you're really good.
Jamming is actually a great way, I think,
to uh...
Like, if you meet a lot of musicians
and you guys aren't like, that close.
- You don't even need to speak the same language. - You just play.
Like that video we did. The Chinese with Korean.
Yeah, you just jam. Yeah, you just rehearse.
- Yeah, it's fun. - Yeah.
It's really good.
Really?
That's not cool man.
That's... We need to talk to your dad.
I mean, unless you're not playing at the worst time,
- like, 3AM and everyone's trying to sleep. - Yeah.
I don't see a reason
why your dad should stop you from practicing.
Should it... I wonder if you got those...
I mean, it's an electric piano, right?
What if you get the earphones and plug it in,
or is it the fact that
it's not even the noise.
Your dad just doesn't like the idea of you
doing something good with your life.
- Brett: Yeah, like, piano-ing. - Eddy: Like practicing.
I don't know.
If it's the first one, get the headphones. That'll help.
- If it's the second one... - Oh man...
You need to go somewhere else and practice.
- Come back a soloist, and then be like "Yeah." - Yeah.
Good!
- Oh, this is October 15th. Two weeks ago. - So recent.
Yo, let's go!
Congratulations Ben!
- That's amazing. Berklee's a... - It's a good renowned school for music, yeah.
So proud of you.
I never met you, but I can understand.
I feel proud of you.
- We feel proud of you. - I would be so excited getting that.
Actually, this brings back memories of back in the day
- when we'd do, like, AYO auditions, or like, competitions. - Yeah.
- And then the email comes in - Everyone's like, "Oh!"
- and you don't know if you want to click it or not. - Yeah.
And you're always waiting for the word to be like:
- "Unfortunately." It's the first thing you scan. - Yeah.
- "Unfortunately, you've been selected - "Unfortunately..." Oh!
- as reserved." - Yeah.
Let's go!
Ah, s***!
- Yeah, how did this get here? - Yeah, I don't know. Okay, let's keep going.
Next one.
Oh! Boom!
- Yeah right, it's like, what do you mean by boring, right? - Yes, exactly. It's not boring.
Look at this intricacy, complexity.
Brett: What piece is this?
- Eddy: It looks difficult. - Brett: It looks very difficult.
What's the pop song?
I don't know.
But we get the point and... nice.
- That's actually kind of true. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I could totally picture these conversations
- happening at uni. - It's such a flattering comment!
"I just want to let you know Brett,
that Simone Kachikawawa
- totally should not have gotten first chair." - Yeah, yeah.
- "I think you play so much better." - "Yes, thank you.
"I much preferred your interpretation of the phrase,
by the way."
- Wow! - That's cool.
- Eddy: That's sick! - Brett: That's actually really cool.
Yo!
Practice!
Eddy: Dude, that's actually insane. It looks like 3D, wow.
Talent.
See! When we say this is the most talented subreddit,
this is what we mean.
Everyone's creative, everyone's talented.
The amount of effort that people put into these...
- Chef's kiss. - That's the place.
That's the place to be.
Oh, another one.
That is so cool!
Dude, that's like a fantasy!
Wow!
- Dude, that's like a dream. - That's beautiful. That's beautiful.
- Amazing! - I can sense the fluffiness in your art.
Dude.
That's pretty funny.
It's like the characters, right?
Yeah, it took me a while to get it but yeah.
- Mozart is like "hehehe." - Beethoven can't hear, right?
Can you imagine all these composers
actually all just met?
- I think Beethoven did meet, uh... - Mozart, no?
Was it Mozart or was it Haydn?
One of them.
I know they all studied Bach's music.
Even though Bach's music was somewhat underrated—
Yeah.
at this time.
Well, a hundred years later,
- Brett: Mendelssohn was like: "Who is this genius?" - Eddy: Mmm.
Even before then,
- Eddy: Apparently the legit composers will study Bach. - Brett: Yeah.
- But kind the wider... - Ah, right.
- Most of the public were kinda like "Eh" about Bach. - Yeah.
But then Mendelssohn really...
made Bach...
- He was like, "Guys, look look look. This is genius work." - Yeah, this is it.
- Hey, look, at least my skills has color. - Yeah.
Multiple colors.
It looks like the thing you do in escape rooms.
- Trying to figure it out, you know? - Yeah!
Wouldn't it be cool if we did a music escape room?
Yeah it would be amazing, right?
- Ugh! - Oh God! Yo, you don't do that.
(both) Oh!
- No! You don't do that! - Why did you even take the photo without...
Wow!
- without disaster happening. - That's even worse.
Okay, I don't know what the last one is. One more.
Oh! Just... I can hear the...
You know the cork and the wood?
- You can hear it, like... - Yeah, sliding off.
But that one's the least bad.
- This one's the worst. - That's the worst. That's the worst.
'Cause I know it's gonna drop.
- And this one is second worst for me. - Yes.
- Wow, what is that? - Wow, they did a better job than us.
Is that a drawing or is that real?
No that's real.
- It looks so artistic I thought this was art. - It's real cookies.
- You misspelled practice so... - Oh, they did it my way.
So ours is better. Oh wait, did you do that?
Because everyone was laughing at me
when I did the Draw My Life, I wrote "prc."
That's so much better than our cupcakes.
I wanna eat it.
Can you send it to us so we can eat it?
Oh, look. It's us.
Dude, you got brown glasses.
Yeah, ever since I had to wear glasses.
Alright!

We had art, we had makeup,
we had baking,
and we had really funny memes.
