Yes, in fact there is a growing number of special "string quartet cover albums" released over the last couple of years that have a string quartet do renditions of songs and deep cuts from popular artists and bands. Most notable ones are string quartet tributes to Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Metallica, Nirvana and U2.

The viola is the best instrument in the world....okay I'm biased because I play one!! The viola is basically the chord filler. It fits the harmony in. In string quartets it can play with the violins or the cello. It also closes the gap between violin and cello so that the sound is complete.

How do you play bm on guitar without it being a barre chord?

Many beginners learn the "no-barre" version of Bm before tackling the full barre version. There are two different ways to play it: high E string - index finger on second fret B string - middle finger on third fret G string - ring finger on fourth fret D string - play open A string - don't play E string - don't play OR: high E string - index finger on second fret B string - middle finger on third fret G string - pinky on fourth fret D string - ring finger on fourth fret A string - don't play E string - don't play Another option would be to use an open position version of Bm7, which is played like this: high E string - ring finger on second fret B string - play open string G string - middle finger on second fret D string - play open string A string - index finger on second fret E string - don't play The advantage of this Bm7, besides not being a barre chord, is that you have the root note B (second fret of the A string) in the bass, which is nice for playing in a boom/chuck style.

How long has the string quartet existed?

The string quartet dates from at least the 1750s, with the works of Franz Xaver Richter, Luigi Boccherini, and early Haydn. It's actually fairly hard to pin down, though. Two violins, viola, and cello is also the standard string section of an orchestra, so how do we know something was written for just four players and not for an ensemble of varying numbers? By the time we get to Haydn's mature quartets it is obvious--it would sound silly for a string orchestra to play these soloistic parts. But in his op. 1, there isn't that distinction. In fact, there are optional wind parts for some of the op. 1 quartets, which leads us to think they may also have been performed as divertimentos or even as small symphonies.
