It's like a comedian dealing with a heckler in a very elegant way.

[PSKim_PoiZen]

I dont think non-performers really realize just how terrifying a ringing in the middle of a performance can be. you could be so focused and nervous and in your own world and then one melody can break that suddenly and just make you completely blank out or lose focus. absolute nightmare.

The LOOK he shoots the person with the ringing phone

[TripGuerrilla]

Plot twist: He got sued by Nokia for copyrights infringement.

[foxrumor]

You could be mad at the person who's phone went off, but in fact, he has now considerably increased this violinists popularity.

[iamjason]

a lot of people are saying "oh he wasn't pissed" uhh look at his face, dude was clearly pissed...

[tlshortyshorty]

Nokia: *rings*
Violinist: *rInGs*
Nokia: “I have never been defeated once in the field of battle... except now.”

[VirtuArtal]

During the tune that he plays for the nokia call, he interrupts his own rythmic flare segment ( 0:54 ) with the Nokia tune. I hear it as though he inserts some mastery in and then interrupts himself with "oh wait, nokia :l " to really press the point. He was pissed, and used music for that expression.

Everyone says hes so badass and that this is a middlefinger to the phone guy. But to me it just feels like a nice way to keep the mood up.

[danielkim]

How rude of this gentlemen to be having a concert in the middle of this man's phone call

[Aldroid]

He looked like he was about to kill him when he turned around.

3 Possibilities to His Talent :
1. He's performed and been interupted so many times that he knows the notes for the ringtone
2. He's really dedicated and talented and can play by ear
3. BOTH

[Sabagegah]

That was the most passive-aggressive thing a musician has ever done!

[Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

This just makes me smile. He took a bad situation and only made it better than anything that could have happened otherwise. All is well. :-)

[guardianofthetoasters]

Johnny was never the same ever since the "accident" happened. Every now and then he would frantically check his phone whether or not it's on silent or not.

[derateddesign]

i immediately dropped my smile once i noticed in the description "You can buy our video as an NFT" 🥶

The irony is that Nokia ringtone was actually a Spanish classical piece for guitar: The Gran Vals, by Francisco Tárrega.

[keeloraz]

He didn’t improvise. He’s been learning this for years and was waiting for this moment. It happened.

28k thousand views !!! Wow thanks guys love you all. Does comment views generate any money ?

[dcgreatman]

0:40 the look of "I'm gonna kill you after this", immediately followed by a "yeah whatever, I'll play along"

[Tony-ciys]

0:47 translation: Ya kiddin me? How does it feel, huh?
