In my personal opinion, I like them all. Svet is a very good violinist(and a good looking guy, according to my big sis) Lindsey Stirling is very skilled and very energetic with the violin. But my personal favorite is David Ragsdale, he's an extremley skilled violinist, and he can play guitar too! When I saw Kansas live back a few months ago, This man blew me away. On some of the heavier Kansas songs like Icarus (Bourne on Wings of Steel) and Portrait (He Knew) he would pick up the guitar and start playing it, then he would swivel it around to his back and start playing the violin again! The last 2 songs they did, Fight Fire with Fire and Carry On Wayward Son, he played just the guitar and he sounded amazing!

So what do you think?!

I liked all the 3 clips. I think the 2nd clip is very interesting.
But to me the best player herre is David Ragsdale (3th clip) by far!

The thing is, Svet actually makes the horrible music of my generation actually listenable, but in many ways Ragsdale would tear him a new one in a violin battle.

But actually, Svet and David are very similar, they both started violin at the age of 3, they were both classically trained and joined orchestras. But the only difference is that Svet brought his talents to mainstream rap music and Ragsdale brought his talents to rock n' roll.
