'sort of feeling' is the definition.
'gut' can be an answer for 'feeling' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'sort of' bit.

'one may have for the violin?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'gu' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gut that I've seen before include "good German" , "Remove innards from" , "Evidence of heavy drinking" , "Entrails" , "Intestine; narrow strait" .)
