Hello guys! Welcome to another episode of... I haven't done my 40 hours practice today, so Brett, you can just film. I'll be practicing. Just kidding. We've already practiced 1,600 hours, which is why we're making fresh content for... Dude, this is crazy. Yo, if you add 1 and 7 and 7, that's 15. Times it by 4. That's 60. And divide it by 5... I don't know where I'm going with this. - I was hoping I could get the number 40.
- 40? - Yeah...!
- Yeah, I knew it! Yeah! It's been a while since we did Ling Ling 40 Hours, the most talented subreddit where you guys make amazing memes, artworks. For a while, it was taken over by a bunch of people playing Paganini 24, - which is super cool.
- I know. Like guitar... - Dude... The most-
- or like a fridge. Everything you can think of. The first one. I mean, I always tell this story, but... People ask me how do I get so good at memorising. I'm like... Well, what I did was I was too lazy to get the sheet music. - Yeah.
- So when I forgot- The sheet music will be in another room, I‘d just be like... "Nah." And then I just keep playing until I figure it out. - And you only get it when you really have to.
- Really need to. "Oh! That was it." Yeah. Born out of laziness. Next. - Yes.
- Dude, that's so true. Continual progress. You're either always growing, or you're declining. So you have to keep practicing. Practicing is like a never ending journey. Which is why if you get someone on a talent show that says they've perfected their instrument... Run away. It's also part of the... joy of it. Kind of like... meditation. The act itself becomes the reward. - Yeah.
- You know? The more you do it, the more you enjoy it, the more you appreciate it. No way! Dude... - Dude, that's a 40-hour video!
- Yeah. - I wanna see it.
- I wanna see. Oh... - No, I wanted to see if it was legit!
- Yeah! No! This man was trying to summon Ling Ling. Yeah, Ling Ling was like... "Maybe." Yeah, it's like "ooh." Looking at the time. "Mm..." I didn't watch the stream, but assuming that he actually did it... Congratulations. Respect. *gasps* Oh... Hey, if it's good art, they practiced for it. - And so they deserve it.
- Yeah. Which video was that again? When you're like... And everyone said that looked like you. Oh, I don't know. Does it look like me? - Ha ha ha...!
- That's so true! Dude, I wish I was a badass dragon like that. This person just called us peasants, and they went... - That's true, we are peasants next to Hilary.
- Yeah. - I know. We're such peasants.
- Dude... Have you guys seen her hula hoop Paganini? - We went peasant mode next to that.
- Yeah, yeah. Like, pesante peasant. Heavy peasant. - Yeah, heavy peasant.
- We're heavy peasant. That was a music joke. If you don't get it, - study your music theory.
- Get update. The carrot is the same as a violin. It's the same colour. Ay...! Ha ha! He's like "Dammit." "Are you serious?!" But then, wasn't Pluto then... - revealed to not be a planet?
- ...be a planet. I remember that. So technically, Holst had it right. Holst foresaw the future, scientists. Mm... You know someone tried to... make a "Earth" to finish it off? There'd been a few different attempts. It would be harder almost to write Earth because there's so many things associated to earth already. That's a good point. Well, Mars, no one really knows. Does Mars even exist? You don't even know. You're just online looking. You haven't been to Mars. Flat-earthers are like... "WOO...!!" I always thought that! Didn't they say it's technically percussion? Yeah, 'cause it hits the strings. But then it's got strings. - It's a...
- What's the official answer? String-cussion! Percustrings. Perstrings. Eddy: Stringcussion. - It's like your strings had a concussion.
- Yeah, I know. It's like "oof!" Yeah. PTSD... Nah, just kidding. I think deep down we still always love it, but I can relate to that feeling. If it's something you do every day, - Yeah.
- of course there are gonna be times where it just feels like it's too repetitive. - Mhm.
- But the reason that most people are still doing it 'cause deep down like, it's like... - They still love it.
- They still love it. - Yeah.
- Something we're passionate about as a musician- as a classical musician anyway. American spelling. "Moooom!" "Listen here, you little sh**." - Ooh...
- Oh man... - Ooh...
- Ooh... Ling Ling, I didn't know you're being like that. Ben. Lee. It's true though. - It's true.
- People being fast is just like, the be-all and end-all. Yeah. Dude. Nah. If you don't understand the meaning of this message, you must be new to our channel. - Please watch all our older videos.
- Yes. If you can understand slowly, you can undertand quickly. If you can subscribe slowly, - you can subscribe quickly.
- Yes, accent the like button while you're at it! Every accent shares the love of classical music. That's so good! That's so true! He's all old now. He's like "Nah, I can't." You guys are so creative with your memes. I love it. That's so true. - But it's good to have high standards.
- Yeah. Actually, um... when I used to teach, I was a little bit like Gordon Ramsay. Ha ha ha ha! I mean, I didn't swear and I wasn't mean. Actually no, I wasn't str- I don't think I was strict. But I definitely wasn't like... "Oh, dear, dear..." either. - I was kinda just like...
- Nah, you're like... "Out of tune." Yeah, I kinda just pointed out all the places that they needed to get better at. - Very bluntly and neutrally without emotion.
- Dude, that would be like- oh my god. But I would offer solutions. You know. So it helped. They got better. They improved. I don't know. I'm- - I don't think I'm a good teacher.
- At least they improved. That's all we want, no? I don't think I'm a good teacher at all. Yeah. See. Editor-san knows how to read music. Unlike certain bassist. Oh...! It's like "Bye..." "Bye!" It's the worst when you had a gig, outdoor gig, and it's windy. And you forgot to bring your folder, - so it's loose white sheets
- Oh... oh... Have you guys ever played in an outdoor gig, and it's windy, and your bows just like... Like... Playing Pachelbel's Canon. Yeah! And then we had to like... - put our foot on the stand,
- Yeah. - so it doesn't fall over.
- And we put our scroll on the music just to hold it. Yeah, yeah...! Like... Yeah. Like the stand is held by our feet and then we push against it with the scroll to hold it there. - Should've just brought pegs.
- Yeah. We were such noobs. If you ever do an outdoor gig, - bring pegs! Professional advice.
- You have to bring pegs. Yeah. And bring a heavier stand. - Yeah. Yeah.
- And bring page sleeves, plastic sleeves. And! If it's your first wedding gig, KNOW the structure of a wedding. - So you know when to play and when to stop.
- Oh yeah ha ha ha! Remember our first wedding gig? We were like... "Is it now? Like-" - They have like technical terms,
- Yeah... - but we don't know what it means.
- but it's not clear. Yeah, we don't know. I was like... "Okay now!" *sings* It's like "When do we stop?" And then the Pachelbel's kinda fades away. Oh, it was so awkward! It was like... "Uh... They're at the front." "Oh... the... oh..." Yeah! Jeff Kinney, why you gotta be like that? Who is Jeff Kinney? Exactly, who is Jeff Kinney? Oh... Nah, just kidding. I guess it's the person that drew this comic? That was such a random statement in that video. "You need an unbreakable ego to play the French horn." Oh... that was so questionable. Oh! Old violin teachers. Hey, that'll be fun! - I would love to play for her,
- If we get the chance- and the camera just... - tracks her reaction of her disappointment.
- I can already see, it's gonna be like this: Eddy: She's like "It's been 10 years since I last taught you." "You still f**king can't do that vibrato." She's just like this the whole time. *sighs* "Eddy, what'd I tell you?" "Practice with a metronome." *gasps* That would be so cool...! Dude... She's the only one clapping during the - middle of a movement.
- Yeah. Who would you visit to listen to in real life? I would love to see Paganini in real life. Yeah! Oh, Paganini. - It's like "how good was he actually?"
- Actually, yeah. - I wanna see his crazy hands, like...
- Yeah. all weird. Imagine Paganini was actually like... outshadowed by all the Ling Lings today that are like 10 year old. Yeah, ha ha ha... - But you never know, 'cause there's no proof.
- You don't know. You go in and Paganini is collecting the box money himself. Yeah! He used to do that. He's like... "One penny." I'm like "P A G A N I N I !!" He's like "Wut? One penny, hurry up." Ha ha ha...!! - It's like...
- Dude... "Keep that Strad! It's gonna be worth 10 million dollars!" He gambled his Strad away. - I almost said viola.
- "practice b-" "...viola, practice brownies!" I want one now. I have a brownie Ben & Jerry's ice cream waiting for me. Dude, that's a C. The really low C! That's the equivalent of... - Hey, violin gets that all the time though.
- Yeah. What instrument is this for? I think that is the real question. - Okay.
- I don't think it's piano 'cause there's only single line, right? Yeah, I don't think so. Probably cello. Cello gang! Unbreakable ego. Aw... He looks so sad. - He's like "No..."
- "No." That video is a classic. I still watch that video, like, - once every 3 months. Just to be like...
- It's pretty funny, like- - "Ha ha!"
- We got him good. Dude, I look so gangster. I wish my life was gangster. I think that's how you say it. My Japanese sucks. Don't judge me. - Oh yeah, we've been posting less.
- We have. You guys are- You guys know everything! Ha ha ha ha... It's because Simp Sibelius is coming. Yeah, we gotta prepare. And our subscribers has been growing a lot recently. And so we gotta spend more time doing a lot more things to make sure... we're still keeping up. But don't worry! We're still good and well. I was thinking about the tenths in the 3rd movement... - and I just got depressed!
- Nah. Ha ha ha... yeah! - That's so good.
- Yeah, "komposir." - Alright, end with the lovely cool fanarts.
- Oh, that's cool. - Shoutout to...
- To u/silverinez. Oh, Ling Ling. Look at that. "Violin's better than bass." Brett: Oh, that's so good!
Eddy: I love that! Eddy: And-
Brett: Next one. u/Hagisoba Brett: That's pretty cool.
Eddy: u/Hagisoba. Brett: Yeah, nice.
Eddy: Nice! Alright guys, that's it for today. Again, accent the like button, and legato the subscribe button. And remember... Go practice.
