He lost a wife and a girlfriend because he wouldn't give up the rodeo. That haunting fiddle at the end still gives me chills.😊❤Fiddle is violins country cousin.

A fiddle is a little bit bigger. That extra length and body creates a different sound.

A violin and the fiddle are the same instrument; the only difference is who is playin it and what they are playin on it. Great song and reaction.

To me, this is the perfect country song. First time I heard it was about 3:30 in the morning, about an hour west of San Antonio, going from Florida back home to Arizona. At that time in morning, there are few vehicles, many memories and God's starlit night...the perfect conditions to etch this song permanently into my head.

This is the song that got me started listening to country. I still love it.

This is just a story, however he actually was a real cowboy too. His amazing song 'Troubadour' has some cool clips of him when he was young & riding. He has been happily married over 40 years & is as wholesome as he looks. No scandals, for this gentleman. Love me some King George. Fiddles use sturdier stings. That is the biggest difference to the violin. I think the necks are a tad shorter too.

George has the most # 1 hits in country apparently.. and this one.. (my fav)... only #2... the fiddle in this melts my heart... It talks to you... says a story

His voice is so amazing

In Amarillo, the local country station plays this at 6AM every day. Good thing it's an excellent song. Useless fact - Losing a saddle is no small thing either. A good one is a couple of grand. A fiddle and a violin is the same thing. 🤣 You were also hearing a steel guitar.

Rodeo cowboys, always headed to the next rodeo (broke, busted disgusted, but looking to turn it around on the next go-round)at the cost of keeping a wife or a girlfriend, is a familiar theme in country music. The fiddle and the violin are the same instrument. It's all in how you use it. The mandolin looks like a small guitar with 4 pairs of strings and a distinctive high pitched sound.

George says this is his favorite , of all the songs he sings

Country king for sure

Love both your music and movie reaction channels. It was the fiddle played on this song. Great song by George Strait!

I am so impressed that you understand that this song is about the life of a rodeo cowboy. Some reactors just don’t get it. Good on you!

Fiddle and Violin are the same thing. In country it's called a fiddle. That was a fiddle fading out at the end. My family is full of bluegrass players, which I started learning as a kid. I play guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. A mandolin is a small guitar looking instrument with 8 strings (doubled).

The king of country !

The fiddle makes this song! Like Jay says it gives you a sense of a rodeo riders life. Great song!

Ain’t got a dime but what I got is mine….I ain’t rich but lord I’m free….awesome stuff.

Rock, pop, metal, dance, or country, this is a top 10 tune in my space.

Damn.. that was a soothing track.

George is the 👑King of Country!

Rodeo life is a lot like the life of a musician .. none stop roads trips. Mr. Strait is also a rancher and accomplished Cowboy. Mr. Strait rarely leaves Texas .. his fan go to Texas to see him.

To me this man will always be the King of Country Music

Dang...this one is like 40 yrs old now...but it's a really good one. Good one for the Horseshoe (shuffle). He's the "number one hit" King...he's got more number one songs than any other recording artist.

One of my favorite songs!

This is one of George's favorite songs along with This is Where the Cowboy Rides Away. "Amarillo by Morning" is a country music song written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser, and recorded in a country pop style by Stafford as a single in 1973 to minor success. The song would be popularized in a fiddle-based Western rendition by Texas neotraditionalist George Strait in 1982. The mandolin is played like a guitar, across the upper body. It originated in Italy (which makes sense) and later brought to America where it became primarily a blue grass instrument but it has showed up in different genres.

In My lifetime, I Never thought I'd see putting on lipstick listening to this Classic Great Song. Not just a quick nip., due to discomfort. Th Man Heard it.

Wife here.., WOW..,What a song of Longing..Always Loooved this song!!!👍🌹..An Awesome depiction of that lifestyle!!!..Perfectly stated!!

A violin has strings, a fiddle has “strangs!” Lol I always thought the higher notes were the violin and the deeper, soulful sound was a viola. A mandolin is not normally used with a bow, however there’s a lotta creative artists under the influence!

It's how the bow is played across the strings of the violin that makes the fiddle sound.The mandolin is played like a guitar.

This is one of my all time favorite songs he has ever recorded

1:40 I was around that culture for a while and I hope that you will understand how important this music and culture is even today. It is a Vestige of how this country managed to provide food and do all kinds of things during the westward rail expansion, and it still involves skills that are heavily used today and so it showcases those just like any other Athletics. And these guys are tougher than football players by about 100%. I hate to say it. They don't have much money normally and they're just younger guys that can take the damage and just try to make a living hoping to be the next Lane Frost. And I've been to so many of these and people get injured all the freaking time. And then you see the same dudes just shop back that night ready for a straight party. It is such a rough lifestyle for everyone involved, including wives and girlfriends. But the main point of stopping it here was to explain the reference he said that he would be looking for 8 when they pulled that gate. I've sure you have seen movies where they're in the cattle stall and they are finally settled down onto the bull, and they strap them in, and then the latigo binds them like a tether to that animal, and what you have to understand about rodeo riding is unlike almost any other sport I've ever heard of, the animal gets an equal score to the human being. They get 50 points. So your overall score is based on whether you wrote an easy bull or a tough Bull. And then of course how well you did as a human being. And 8 seconds is the buzzer. The whole point of that is that you have to last eight seconds. And the chance of injury once you finally exit the bowl whether it's before the buzzer at 8 or after, is sometimes quite high. But anyway he was hoping that he would hit the eight-second buzzer when they pull that gate open and he was hoping the judge ain't blind, just like you and I probably yell at referees in football games saying, are you freaking blind? Are you freaking blind?! Lol.

Thanks for all your reactions!

"You look so good in Love," by G.S. is my all time favorite. But, I can't deny it, I love this song too. Hell, I like all his songs. Great reaction ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hey guys....another classic by George is "The Chair". I think you'll both like it.

Violin(classical) & the Fiddle (country) are the same instrument. Love you both❤

I remember when this song came out. It hit just a little different. Even the rock guys loved it. I remember this song marked the beginning of a different sound in country music. It really moved the needle. You guys cracked me up talking about violin and fiddle. The violin and fiddle are the same instrument.😄...it's called a fiddle in country music.

A violin has strings, a fiddle has strangs

"I ain't got a dime, but what I've got is mine. I ain't rich, but Lord, I'm free." Pretty much describes me. Great song!

I can just see him traveling along to Amarillo with a lot of hope in the Rodeo .

Onr of the best country songs of all time by the best Solo country artist of all time

Fiddle (violin) is what you're hearing. A mandolin is stummed or plucked like a guitar. The fiddle uses the bow primarily.

It’s The fiddle.. which is the county violin!

....listen to the fiddle at the very ending of the song ;) Thats Johnny Gimble who played fiddle for Bob Wills Texas Playboys. ;)

Family was going to Houston Texas to visit family my dad driving tired so I take over driving we drive Colorado 3 AM pulling into Amarillo this song is playing great memory

I remember the Terry Stafford version when I was kid...then came George in 1981...dang.

King George!

He is the Man!!!!

Living in Texas all my life for some reason I can’t shake country out of me. No matter where I go I have to listen to country music. Gotta have your country music hits so differently when you’re drinking your beer. Country music and beer go hand in hand.

I just found you guys tonight and I love ya. The biggie reaction to big poppa had me cracking up when you called him out with his hands up...the fiddle and violin is the same instrument, it's just how it's played and where you are from.

Hey, I didn’t notice till just now, but, th way this pict looks as I’m scrolling, it looks lyke George, has his arm, around Asia, Kool 😎😎

That is a lonesome fiddle in the end there. It evokes all the loss and loneliness of the rodeo life, but also the setting sun and the promise of a new day living life to the fullest...

Listen to "Night is Falling in My Heart" by Diamond Rio. The intro has guitar, mandolin and banjo and it's pretty easy to tell them apart.

I live close to Amarillo Texas and I find it unusual that this song isn't played every day to start people's day off. Great song, wonderful vocalist, marvelous country expressions to the beat and choice of instruments used. Top notch country song. Yee haw, y'all!

Like others said, a fiddle and violen are the same instrument, it just depends on what type of music is being played. 3:53

This is George Straits favorite song of his. You need to watch the cool video that goes with it.

We played I cross my heart at our wedding you need to listen to that one too although pretty much all of his songs are good

Saw him last year in Vegas. There's a reason he's called King George.

That fiddle is gorgeous

That is Gene Elders on the fiddle. He is part of the Ace In The Hole Band.

Great reaction guys... I think a violin and fiddle are the same thing... Fiddle is just the country music term for it

violins are fiddles. same thing, different name. now a mandolin isn't played with a bow, it's like a mini guitar. but it has 8 strings (4 doubled strings.) a smaller version of the 12 string guitar. a dobro is a guitar with a metal resonator on it and is played with a slide much like a steel guitar. but it has a wooden body. most of the time the dobro is played horizontally like a lap steel. Check out Alison Kraus and Union Station for some quality dobro by Jerry Douglas. Alison plays the fiddle/violin. Sometimes they will use a 12 string or a mandolin.

Country, bluegrass, some folk genres just call a violin a "fiddle" instead of violin. A mandolin is played like a guitar as BJ mentioned. A sample of what it sounds like would be at the beginning (and in and out) of Alan Jackson's "Remember When" (that you've reacted to). Very different sound than a fiddle. Nice reaction.

It was a fiddle at the end. If it is country or bluegrass it is a fiddle and if it is classical music it is a violin though the same instrument.

Legend

Leader in country music today. ❤️

Country is normally my forte....but this is a very great song. Sticks in your head.

A viola not a mandolin is a lower octave violin. So it was a violin/fiddle. Fiddle you play slightly different than a violin. But it is the same instrument. A mandolin looks somewhat like a very small guitar. Unless it has a round back on it then it’s called a tater bug (mandolin). 😊

Bj is right on the fiddle played with the Violin the fiddle is a style of sound/beat played with violin just like the guitar you play fast it's hard style and you play slow it soft style.

That's how we do it in Cowtown/ Ft.Worth tx

Now go check out George strait's I can still make Cheyenne, and the seashores of Old Mexico.

Real country right there. The King is George Strait. Listen too Taylor Swift cover his tune Run. She used too tour with him.

My favorite song by George Strait is “Cowboy Rides Away”

“ I Think “ they’re basically th same, if yor from th city, it’s a violin, if yor from, th country, it’s a fiddle 😎😎👍

2:50 Amarillo evokes Western Texas, but being from Southern Texas myself, and give him my long rambling post before about how rodeo works at least in the most simplest terms, I was wondering about y'all's Texas connections, thinking that even though this is probably outside your normal paradigm, you might relate to all of this. But of course the whole scene is not even remotely related to just Texas, that's just the context of this particular song.

Fiddle and Violin are the same thing. Fiddle is the informal name used in country/bluegrass. The term violin is typically used in classical music for example.
