y’all are over analyzing “the devil knew that he had been beat, so he laid that golden fiddle down at johnnys feet” why is there any confusion on who won?

betting your soul means you've already lost. that's all the devil wanted. he doesn't have to win the bet because the soul is already his.

Myth :
Johnny lost because his pride damns him in the end. the devil didn't need to take his soul, he did the work for him so he lost the battle but won the war

johnny did obviously win, what people are saying about johnny losing is that the devil’s goal wasnt just to beat him in the competition, but also to make him fall to sin, which in this case would be-

Ppl saying loophole: what loophole? "Bc hes the devil" isn't good enough. Johnny won and kept his soul. 😒

I've seen a violinist/fiddle player explain it in detail, but there's no explanation needed! It's in the song!

Like the whole point is true skill and classic songs beat all the bells and whistles and production and tricks of the devil (the music industry)

He did technically loose because his pride (a sin) caused him to make a deal with the devil. But either way, ITS A SONG RHAT WAS MADE 40! YEARS AGO

well making a deal with the devil is a sin + that's some major pride on Johnys part that's one of the 7 deadly sins

(as a violinist) devil mainly plays tremolos which is fairly easy to learn. johnny plays different parts to different fiddle tunes which gets increasingly harder with double stops etc

The devil didn’t win the fiddle battle but he still got Johnny’s soul because Johnny displayed hella pride

Ragnaar_TheRed :
I think you are missing the point he won the fiddle off against the devil everyone can agree on that the argument is if making a bet with the devil is enough of a sin to get johnny banished to hell

Johnny won but also lost because he was so prideful he couldn’t say no to the challenge in the first place, and sinned. So he won the battle but lost the war imo
