hi! for those interested in my other music // multi-effect looping, check out the other items below. in the videos, i take things a little deeper looping wise. i.e., the use of the reverse function in 'reading my mind,' and the two separate Boss RC 20XL units in 'little gardens.' enjoy! :) studio album #1: album.link/us/i/1165592992 studio album #2: album.link/us/i/1447057361 "reading my mind" - czcams.com/video/CADJDmUl8UE/video.html "little gardens" - czcams.com/video/ynZwZtLxKFY/video.html

I said "WOW" out loud. A song performed by an entire band, with several instruments and voices playing at the same time, covered wonderfully by one guy with one guitar, looping fx, and lots of creativity.
Even more, its a piece that was originally composed for an entire orchestra, later adapted to be played by a 5 person guitar band, which he then adapted to be played by 1 person. And it still holds up.
Incredible performance! It appears, based on the three people clapping, that he was playing for just a few people. To give that level of greatness for a tiny crowd, a show worthy of a stadium, is amazing
I commented about a year ago, but need to reiterate. It's the most amazing cover I've ever heard, and inspired me so much, when I showed my son the other night who's a very talented guitarist and vocalist, I gave him the money and he just bought a Boss RC 300 loop station. If he manages to create anything half as good as this I'll be a happy man. It's mine and my wife's favourite ever video on CZcams, and I've been on CZcams since it's inception. It brings us so much pleasure.
This is the song that got me into Radiohead and I can safely say they are one of my favourite bands. They keep appearing throughout my life one way or another. last night I had some space cakes with my housemates and we all were abit out of it just talking and drinking. This track came on the spotify playlist that was playing through the tv and we all went silent and just listened closing our eyes. They aren't massive Radiohead fans but we all got lost into this song. A beautiful piece of music.
great to have the chance to share this experience with close ones, i feel radiohead hits home for many people, sometimes without them even realising. This prooves how much music and art affects us and i wish everyone could have the chance to feel something like this in their life... happy day to you ;)
This is the first Radiohead 'one man band' I've ever seen & Weird Fishes happens to be my favourite track from the In Rainbows album. I do believe you totally nailed it, amazing talent âș
How does this not have 10M views?? Eric, what you are able to do with a single instrument and your voice to recreate one of the greatest songs ever is just incredible. Well done.
In the deepest ocean The bottom of the sea Your eyes They turn me Why should I stay here? Why should I stay? I'd be crazy not to follow Follow where you lead Your eyes They turn me Turn me on to phantoms (way out) I follow to the edge of the Earth (way out, way out) And fall off Yeah, everybody leaves (way out) If they get the chance (way out) And this is my chance (way out) I get eaten by the worms And weird fishes Picked over by the worms And weird fishes Weird fishes Weird fishes I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape I'll hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape
Mad respect Eric, best cover I've ever heard of that by far. You must have practiced the hell out of it. Your subtle changes and adaptation form making the best of just guitar, loop pedal and vocal which was cleverly done, I mean the bass finished the loop like midway or something and then started at the beginning to complete. Serious dedication many clever ideas to make it work but more importantly the song still shone though and you did it proper justice man with your performance, hats off.
My lord, the whole video itself it's so god damm well done, but the last part oh man it got me crying somehow, I even didn't notice when I started crying but that "hit the bottom to escape" this is fkn precious, beyond words for real.
The best Radiohead cover i have seen. Ever. And I have seen hundreds. Amazing work Eric. Thank you for the shivers down my spine for the entire seven minutes. â€ïž
Incredible! You are an inspiration for me. I believe you are one of the most skilled musicians I've ever seen or heard in my hole life and I really wish you were given lots of more credit for this. Keep doing what you love and please keep being this awesome
And there's a ton of them for just this one song, like Lianne De Havas (live in a colourful dress) and a french canadian (?) dude that also has a song called Nightcrawler.
This is my second favorite rendition of Weird Fishes. Nothing beats Lianne La Havas's track, hers is almost better than the original. But THIS... this was amazing. đâ€đâ€đâ€
Omg. How amazing is this cover?!? Iâm stunned at it! Total talent with the looping and the echo voice in the body of the guitar. Will come to this again and again and again! đđŒ đ„°

missed it

It's like watching one guy build a skyscraper with a spool of magic wire.
this is so creative why does it not have more views tf?
also, nice to see the E string give up right at the end
Possibly because it sucks.
bc it's mid

certainly appreciate that :)
It is quite nice.
I just want to be out and about and hear someone playing a killer version of "Weird Fishees", never happens for me. lol
Holy shâŠhe sings into the guitar!
that was my reaction like 1 second ago
Thom does it for climbing up the walls too
Its been done

Extraordinary what you captured
I keep coming back to listen to this, this is so nicely done...
Singing into the guitar at 3:14 is a nice effect.
I swear you comment on every Radiohead video xD
I think he was trying to get that Ed effect.
imagine hearing this from ur backyard
2:01 what the hell this man is doing
2:05 HOLLY FUUUUUCK
This was sick and highly impressive
I do live looping and even I wouldnât have thought of half these ideas. Seriously great.
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea

Thanks my mom was annoyed I was listening to radiohead play the in Rainbows album live. So now I can have both radiohead and a happy mother. â€
I'm always so surprised to see how Radiohead give to so many artists a way to express their talent using these amazing song .... Bravo Eric !
My lord, the whole video itself it's so god damm well done, but the last part oh man it got me crying somehow, I even didn't notice when I started crying but that "hit the bottom to escape" this is fkn precious, beyond words for real.
This is the best acoustic cover of anything ever
My respect! That looks insanely difficult đź
the beauty of radiohead is that each cover expands upon it yet at the sametime rebirths the original version
crazy playing,love this cover
