Chords for Mad Lad Uses Violin as a Fighting Weapon

Hey, how's it going?
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
[Db] Today we're going to be watching a Chinese drama
that has some [Eb] of the most intense [Ab] battle scenes ever.
That's right.
You wouldn't think battle comes with violin,
[Gb] except for that one movie that we reviewed a long time ago.
_ [Bb] But this one's on [Db] the next level.
Now, it's called Athena.
The plot of the story is based on
the foreign settlement in Shanghai back in the year 1932.
It's about a spy agent who uses the nickname Athena,
[Ab] who juggles between war of the country and family [Db] conflicts.
Now, you might be wondering,
what does a Shanghai spy war movie have to do with a violin channel?
Let's find out. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Dude, _ _ _
_ [Db] that instrument is_
_ [Ab] What the hell is [Ebm] that?
Dude!
[Fm] Alright, yeah.
So let's explain.
Here's [Eb] a bridge.
It's meant to sit near where the indentation of the F holes are, [Gb] right?
And therefore you have space here,
where you play on this side of the bridge.
And then you have space here,
which is just to hold tension.
And if you play it,
it [B] sounds like a dying screeching cat.
Yeah, you do not play that part.
Wanna hear [Ab] what it sounds like?
_ [Gb] _
_ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [D] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ Okay, [F] I know you guys always comment in the thing,
but this is Brahms Hungarian Nuts No.
[Eb] 5.
That was the most random cut. Yeah.
[Eb] Like the music around.
Yeah.
It [D] doesn't flow.
It's supposed to be like_ _
But hey, I was impressed that at least this bow is straight.
But again, it doesn't make a difference when you're [G] on bridges.
I mean, the only difference
if a bow is straight playing behind a bridge is this.
This is a straight bow.
[D] _
[Em] This is [A] not a straight bow.
Actually, there's no difference.
[Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Oh!
[Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Gb] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _
[F] Dude, don't do that to the bow!
Oh my god!
Did you see how they just stretched the hair?
Destroyed the [C] hair, straight through it and_
pulled it against it?
Dude, this guy's just so dedicated about practicing.
He's like, even [F] when a spy is there to like [D] assassinate him,
he's like, I [A] must get my 40 hours [G] practicing. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Ab] Bro, how—
What is that bow [F] made of?
Freaking carbon fiber metal. Metal [Bb] steel.
No, a bow cannot carry [Cm] human weight, full [G] stop.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[E] He's like, back to practice.
Yeah, he's like, you know what, that's enough.
Dude, props to the actor [Bb] for keeping a straight face.
Yeah, I'll be [Cm] losing my s*** over that.
It's [G] too funny.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ Actually, try to do that. _
How is that girl taking him seriously, dude?
She just got owned by a violin.
I know. I would_
I would retire.
Yeah, I would retire.
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _
Dude, [Eb] ignore!
Pwned!
Don't distract Ling Ling when he's practicing. _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [C] I'm not a cinema photographer,
but this shot was different angle.
Where?
Like, the closer shot, he's facing her,
but the other shot, he's facing away, no?
Oh yeah.
He just faced away.
Is he facing the [D] leg or is he facing the girl?
Yeah, what is he doing?
Make up your mind.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Am] But I gotta say though,
the backdrop is pretty cool.
Like, I'm actually interested in the backdrop.
It's pretty nice.
[Abm] _
_ [F] _ It's such a weird movie.
I don't_
I don't know the context of this whole thing.
Yeah, was it meant to be about spies and stuff?
Yeah, I was so confused.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [C] _ _ How butthurt is he over this girl?
Whoever this girl is.
Alright, next time a girl rejects you_
Or a guy rejects you_
Yeah, just play the violin_
Until they ask you what's wrong,
and then just throw your violin to the lake.
Yeah, you make your point.
Make your point.
You don't know how much you hurt me.
Why does he always look at his violin that way?
No, I was gonna say, does he have a like, problem?
After the fight, he's like_
After everything, he's always just like_
This level of affection.
Don't get us wrong, we're musicians.
We love our violins.
But like, this is next level. Okay, so_
Okay, name someone that does this and touches it like [D] this.
And you're like that.
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C]
Dude, the violin did nothing wrong.
Dude, all you needed to do was move the bridge back,
and then it would have been fine.
Don't need to throw it away.
It's like, I've played for so long.
It still sounds like [Gm] this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] If you guys know any crazy [Ab] violin dramas
with like, [F] freaking super power fighting skills,
please let us know.
Send it our way, it's always fun to uh_
I think it's just fun to see how non-musician directors
think of portraying the instrument of violin.
Yeah.
