But I watched a video today by a professional violinist. She was talking about “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by Charlie Daniels and how a lot of people feel the Devil gave a better performance than Johnny.

She refuted this with a technical discussion of playing the violin. The Devil’s performance may have sounded cool but he was only using a couple of basic techniques that a beginner would know (along with a backup band of demons). Johnny’s performance was subtler but much more sophisticated

We’ve debated this earlier. I think the Devil won the poll (which didn’t carry over with the migration to discourse).

"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" - Who was better: Johnny or the Devil?

In this song about dueling fiddlers, one being the Devil and the other being Johnny, who was the better player? The Devil’s Entry Johnny’s Submission Prize: One (1) fiddle made of gold. Public poll, as always…
