- Avril 14th for fingerstyle guitar
Original composition by Aphex Twin
Instrumental arrangement by Richard Warwick
This is the first of many guitar arrangements and other music related videos I’m planning on uploading to this channel. Production quality is low end at the moment, this video being the result of a phone recording using the on-board mic. After years of writing arrangements like this and being fully aware all this time that I should have been using CZcams to get them out there, this represents my new found “upload first, question later” attitude toward actually getting (some) things done.
This arrangement, like most of mine, aims to faithfully replicate the sound of the original note for note.
Thanks for watching.
Feel like this dude had 5 extra minutes before Chem lecture and decided to play this gem for us. Legend
Absolutely the best version I've heard. Adding the harmonics are such a key piece to the beauty of this song.
Yeah the harmonics were crucial
what are harmonics?:)
the notes that sound different, like a bell/xylophone are called harmonics
Thank you for all the kind words, it is quite a lot to process! Sorry I haven't been very talkative, I appear to be incredibly shy in the internet. I promise that I have plans to do the youtubing a lot more, I have some good plans for it, It's just taking a while to gear up to that. The kind words are recieved with great humility. Thank you.
It's an extraordinary cover. I've only ever seen one other guitar cover of this song that came close, but it didn't have the harmonics. To look at your face or hear the music you would think it's not a particularly hard song (if you didn't play guitar) - but then to see your hand moviiso quickly up and down the fretboard and to make some complex shapes *with harmonics*. Extraordinary.
Great work man, I've been listening non-stop and daydreaming haha. Thanks for uploading!
Great work man and great of you to upload a tutorial video
You're a great guitarist, this was no easy feat! Move at your own pace
truly soulful
from the thumbnail, i thought it would be an amateur take on the song. boy was i wrong, literally the best composing for solo guitar i’ve literally ever heard.
these raw videos with 0 production are always charming in their own ways. Gave me the chills dude
THE HARMONICS WERE SUCH A NICE TOUCH!!!! this is amazing
Now this is a guitar player. Getting the harmonics just right is sorcery. Thank you.
Damn, this sounds very chill but what a nightmare this would be to play. Well executed!
How lucky I was to stumble upon Richard performing this song in public. It was a magical moment, seriously, walking along the street and just randomly hearing one of the most beautiful pieces of music.... being played on a guitar?!
I watched to the end of the performance and applauded, and we had a chat.
Richard, if you ever read this, let's jam one day!
This has changed my guitar playing just seeing this
Whoever you are Richard this is truly brilliant. Makes me sad but wonderful at the same time .
My jaw literally dropped the first time I listened to this, those harmonics are insane
I always think about how much weird shit there is on the internet, and always forget about the many hidden gems most won’t find, such as these. Respect to you.
I'm now obsessed with learning your rendition. It is so good. All around captivating. I sincerely hope Richard James (Aphex Twin) has seen/heard your version. Thank you so much for this. How can one study the remainder of your tutorial on this piece?
Did u ever work out the tabs? Ive only been playing for a year and am struggling big time
@@ahhhhyes That's because it's very difficult...
I miss my dog.
Losing a pet is the same kind of loss as losing a sibling. I know this is late as hell but I hope you're feeling better and am giving my dog extra pets
So Ive heard
Me too
I missed it entirely but I have my friends dog here and I’m not sure he likes me I’ll miss him eventually unless he misses me first.
Me too buddy, me too.
Kudos! This looks extremely difficult. Well done.
so glad whenever this comes back up in my feed.
If I didn’t know any better I’d think this song was written for acoustic guitar. Well done
Hey yo! I just found future 35-ish years of age Brad Taste in Music
Nice playing, my dude
I've played guitar for over 20 years and have almost never touched a piano, yet I feel like it would still be easier for me to learn how to play this on piano than to do what this man has done. Absolutely beautiful and amazingly talented rendition.
I play both… you’re right x10 easier on keys. This guitar work is unbelievable… astonished after 30+ years playing.
loving the harmonics! very nicely done man :)
Man that is incredible. I wasnt expecting much, but you blew me away. Such a complex song to compose and play
Every time I revist this it's magical. This is absolutely the best rendition of this song
This is so good! All the elements are there!
Love it! Most faithful version I’ve heard!
The best version I’ve heard yet. Great job.
Absolutely stunning cover. Beautiful work, man.
Bravo, Brother! Sincerely, the end nearly made me tear up. Beautiful performance.
Beautiful arrangement! Giving me goosebumps
Holy cow, this is an absolutely beautiful rendition. Props to you and all the effort that went into this.
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!! Absolutely pure! You’re gifted and talented!
Perfectly captures the beauty of this, great work!
This was fantastic and you can be proud!
possibly the best guitar cover i have ever heard on this site. Congrats man, you did an incredible arrangement
Man that was awesome!! Those harmonics, spot on!

Stunning cover. Blown away by how good that was. Really was quite extraordinary.
Good lord, man. This arrangement is an absolute revelation. Well done!
Fantastic arrangement, beautiful work. A tune for the ages.
Woow! This is amazing. All those harmonics and the flow and everything. Super inspiring! Great job! :)

Really clever tab and great playing! Love the use of harmonics. Brilliant
I listen to your version as much as the original now. Made me tear up you’re amazing man

Absolutely fantastic, mate. Brilliant. Lovely playing. Keep going, bro ✌️
I see an aphex cover, I watch I like! Great job.
very nice version!!!! love it
Wow this is awesome!!
Echoing many other sentiments in these comments. You never know what to expect from covers like this. This was really awesome. When you pulled out those harmonics I just lost it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I would love a nice clean studio recording of your version of this, it's really fabulous and deserves many more views and many more likes. I would pay for a good recording of you playing this. Great job, man.
Calling this good feels like the ultimate understatement! Knowing how hard this is to play and watching you cruise through it is wonderful. Sir, you are a masterful player. Thank you.
what I like about this is that, at first, it sounds very heavy handed, but it is actually very silky, floaty and elegant
10/10 arrangement, that had all the right notes, in all the right pitches...beautiful man
amazing work. you are so talented. thank you.
I left my last comment before the video finished so I’m leaving another one to say Sheeeeeeiiit, that end part is so nice. Good job. Again.
Insane arrangement, this is brilliant mate
That looks so gnarly!
Superb work my man. Using all the timbre and acoustics of the instrument!
One of the most beautiful things I’ve heard afx would be proud :D
