Hello, guys.
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Come closer, Eddy.
Dude, people are already turning around to look at us.
I know, it's like, what are we doing in public, right?
This is not our natural habitat.
What we're gonna do today is...
We're gonna busk.
The violinist has an earpiece in.
Eddy or myself and Shaun
will be giving instructions
on what to do while playing the violin in public.
Doesn't matter what they say, you gotta do it.
So, we've got a spot.
Brett: Just opposite us, you'll see on the other shot.
- And then... Yeah. I'm nervous. - Dude, I'm so nervous.
- Scissors, paper, rock. Who goes first. - Alright, okay.
(Both) Scissors, paper, rock!
I always lose these, I swear to god.
Eddy's going first!
Oh, by the way, Eddy forgot his violin but it's okay.
I've got my violin.
Here you go, have fun.
Enjoy.
Oh, yes. Eddy, the recording device.
Eddy: Oh, yes.
- So, you just need me to record? Yeah, yeah. - Eddy: Yeah, can you come with me?
Bye bye.
He needs me to hold his hand.
What we're gonna do is, basically,
give Eddy instructions through this...
Shaun: Yeah.
...earpiece.
Yeah, he's tuning now.
- Just keep doing that for a little bit. - Just keep doing that.
- Just keep playing really loudly. - Just keep tuning.
Shaun: Look like you're really into it.
Brett: Yeah, yeah.
Shaun: Oh.
- Oh. - We made money tuning.
Oh, we made money tuning.
The standard for talent's going down these days.
Yeah.
Dude, I'm like shaking.
Alright, play some Bach.
Tell him to play with his eyes really wide open.
- Like he's surprised. - Yeah. Yeah, open your eyes really wide.
Look like you're surprised.
Brett: Yeah.
- Brett: Yeah, like... - Shaun: ...Hold that face.
He looks like a psycho.
- Oh, play Csárdás on one leg. Yeah. - Ooh, yeah.
- Now let's pretend we don't know what's going on. - Yeah.
We can't look at him too much.
Eddy, you gotta go "hup" really loudly in your mouth.
Just like, "hup!"
S***.
He actually did it.
What a mad lad.
Just... Squat while playing.
Yeah, start squatting.
Yeah.
No one cares.
And go up and down. Like, do like...
Like squats, up and down.
Brett: Just do ten.
- Shaun: Just ten. - Brett: Yeah, keep going, keep going, keep going.
- Brett: Keep going, keep going, keep going... - Shaun: Oh, no. They're really... Why? It's terrible.
And now go, "hup!" Say, "hup!"
Say, "hup!"
Thank you.
Before you play the next piece, can you just...
To the next person that walks by, say, "Money, please."
No!
Say, "Money, please!" Then play...
No, I can't say that.
Okay, how about this?
You hum Canon in D while playing it.
- Yeah, sing it. Sing the bass line while you're playing the melody. - Yeah, sing it while you're playing it.
Shaun: Yeah.
- I think he's dying internally. - He's singing it. He's actually singing.
Dude, no one likes it.
Dude, I'm being like a menace to society right now.
What's happened to this generation?
No one cares about classical music anymore.
Play Eine Kleine and just do a lot of vibrato and just go crazy.
- Like... - Brett: Like, spam. Like operatic singer.
Actually, while doing that
you have to put your eyes up like this, like...
Yeah. Yeah, lift your...
Like this.
Look up.
Yeah.
Can you just go, "Baby!"
- The baby... - Baby!
Ooh!
Can you just crunch every, like, note in every second bar? Like...
Can you just play a really high note on the E string,
and just hold it, very loudly, non-stop.
Brett: Just like...
Brett: It'd be super annoying.
Yeah- Oh, that hurts my ears.
Go behind the bridge, a little bit.
Brett: Oh, yes.
Shaun: Oh, jeez.
- Shaun: That's terrible. - Brett: Just getting... I know.
Brett: Keep holding it. Just keep holding it.
And look like you're really into it.
- Brett: Just look really into it. Yeah, he's looking. - Shaun: Oh, this guy gets it. He was about to laugh.
He's looking. Oh, he loves it.
That's it. This is the art of getting attention.
Do you want to do anything more? Or do you want to swap out?
That's enough. Alright, I'm out.
He's done.
Alright, I want you to start tuning
but like over the course of thirty seconds,
get more and more into it until you're like headbanging.
Revenge.
Planning this the whole time you were playing,
- Yeah. - plotting what you're going to do to him.
And now play Darude - Sandstorm.
Now, stop and sit down on the ground.
Oh.
Alright, Brett, do you know the marriage piece?
The next girl that walks past,
just, like, stand up and then get on one knee while playing that
to her.
Oh, s***.
Dude, I made money.
Do like that weird squat where your legs go out like...
Like this, like...
Can you do this?
Play Spring.
Safety first.
Play something fast, anything fast,
but start doing high knees
- like HIIT stuff for like ten seconds. - Oh.
Faster, faster, faster.
It's so painful.
Alright. Okay, okay.
Now, start strumming your violin like a guitar,
just open strings,
and start singing,
but then every now and then, like, you got to add the words,
"Please give me money."
What should I sing? Give me a song.
Happy birth... No.
Yeah, sing Happy Birthday.
I shouldn't have suggested that.
Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you.
Give me money!
We need to give this money to someone else.
I got the perfect thing.
You play but whenever someone gives you money,
you stop playing immediately.
I'm done.
Alright.
Eddy: Play G major scale, go, go, go, go.
Oh, dude, I couldn't handle the silence.
- I couldn't handle the silence. - At least he gave like a bow, like...
"Thank you."
It was... If he didn't, that would be too...
Alright, okay, so for the last one, right, Brett?
So, start playing Jaws. You know, like...
- ...tiptoeing around. - Like, tiptoe.
S***.
And then just start, like,
following random people but still in the shot.
And then every now and then just be like...
"I'm coming after you."
Bro, you guys are mean.
I'm coming after you.
S***.
Brett: She laughed.
She laughed. That person just laughed.
- The good ending, the good ending. - She actually...
Wow, dude, I actually got a bit of money, man.
Look at that.
Dude, that's so not fair.
Alright, guys, I think that's it-
Oh, yeah, look how much money I made.
- Twenty-four bucks! - Twenty-four dollars. - Bank.
You made twenty-four bucks in like, twenty minutes?
- Dude, that's so good. - Nice. - That's so not fair.
- Dude, you know how much I made? - How much did you get?
We can pay off uni now.
Yeah, I can pay my uni debt.
I'm at one dollar seventy.
Bro, that's not fair.
- Damn. - Alright guys, that's it.
- Alright. - That's enough busking for a year now.
Actually, we should... What should we do with this money?
I think we should find someone that's an actual busker.
- And we should donate it to them. - Yep.
I'll donate my one dollar seventy.
Yeah, I'll give my twenty-four dollars.
I'll give them a thumbs up.
- Please like and subscribe. - Peace out.
Alright, peace.
