There's a guy I know named Mark, used to play with the TransSiberian Orchestra. Pretty good violinist. Makes some way cool violins, too.
You should check out his website at http://www.markwoodmusic.com/ for some inspiration. He's done some awesome Hendrix covers, too

I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.
