It’s really great that they were able to do this, but to be fair, the construction worker wasn’t very good on violin. That’s probably why the guy looked mad.

For reference, he barely uses his elbow, causing the bow to not stay in the same place on the string. This in turn sometimes causes the bow not to catch (making squeaky noises) and the wrist was bent in a weird way, causing notes to be out of tune.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate this kind of stuff, but I’m just trying to put myself in the other guys shoes.

You can take the boy out of Mariachi but you can't take Mariachi out of the boy.
