When Garrett was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. The young David took an interest and soon learned to play. A year later, he took part in a competition and won first prize. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public. He studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. At the age of 12, he began working with the distinguished Polish violinist Ida Haendel, often travelling to London and the other European cities to meet her. At the age of 13, he recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. von Weizsäcker’s personal invitation. He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo", which is among the best instruments of the "golden period". At the age of 14, as the youngest soloist ever, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. At the age of 17, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Bombay in concerts marking the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence. At the age of 19, he played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchster in Berlin, under the direction of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics. This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 2004.
While studying at the Juilliard School in New York City, as one of the first students to study with Itzhak Perlman, Garrett supplemented his income by working as a model. Some fashion writers have described him as "the David Beckham of the classical scene".
In December 2007, Garrett fell after a performance at Barbican Hall in London, and smashed his rare violin, initially reported as a Stradivarius, but later corrected to having been made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Garrett had purchased the instrument four years earlier for USD 1 million.[3] It was estimated that it would cost $120,000 to repair.[4]

Everybody stokin on paganini's skills but what about the guitarists' ability to know when to change the chords to a song he has never heard before? that guy was the unsung hero of this clip

@Filipp Karandeev What a coincidence that the tune is older than Paganini yet newer arrangements were found throughout europe after he made it popular.
We're in an english pub here in the clip i'd doubt the people depicted weren't supposed to come off as the upper-class of london, due to several factors like education, class and occupation. It'd be rare but not impossible to have heard that tune from what I can gather., much less have the chords memorized.
Even more impressive is the 2nd piece that paganini himself composed called 'moses fantasy'. So the guitarist instinctually knew which chords to play on a piece that was probably only known the room by Paganini.

lol, every basic guitarist can do that

@Yan Sterckx true. you just need concentration and that's all

@Maria Schwartz dude you are so behind I'm sorry
I highly doubt that man thought the cameraman traveled back in time to witness Paganini actually play this song

Viplin is more difficult
