An interview with David Garrett
You probably don’t know who David Garrett since you listen to rock music and not classical. But you should get to know him because he’s got my seal of approval. Garrett is a 28-year-old classical violinist who also holds the Guinness world record for being the fastest violinist on the planet.
The reason I interviewed him, though, is because he’s just released a new album called Rock Symphonies. He covers bands like Nirvana, Metallica, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and Guns N’ Roses on the record and in our interview, he played a small bit of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” just for fun. The guy absolutely killed it. Oh and FYI, the violin he plays in the interview is a Stradivarius that’s worth $5 million.
Check it out and head over to his website to get more info on him. I actually want to see him in concert when he tours the U.S.
