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.
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.
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!
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.
How do everyone. A lot of people have asked me how I do this so I've uploaded a little tutorial video explaining part of it. I also have a Patreon page now and I'm planning to upload a lot more videos over the next few months. Please consider supporting me if you feel inclined. Thanks for all the kind words. - Rik ruclips.net/video/iMaXVlopJ2M/видео.html www.patreon.com/richardwarwick
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
Yesterday i broke up with My girlfriend, we couldn't be together much longer for a number of reasons, yet i still love her, she was, she is my home, she loves this song and used to play it on guitar very much like this version, i will come to this video frequently, when i think of her, when i miss my home. Thank u
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.
Woah I did not expect those harmonics in the last part. I thought the song was playing in the background, the tone was so accurate. Beautiful, tasteful work sir
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.
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?
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.
the original is beautiful and it translates perfectly into guitar. I am convinced this song if played properly is probably beautiful on every instrument
Adding to the chorus--this is my favorite rendition of this Ive seen on RUclips. The technicality and faithfulness to the original is amazing. Very inspiring, and with your tutorial got me started learning this myself. A couple days in and I have a couple parts down, but you didn't explain the pinched harmonics in your tutorial, lol! That said, there are a lot of crusty parts in this, I'm surprised at the 1:30 section you goofed on the chords but nailed the finger picked parts! I'd love to hear your version again polished up, cause this is really good!

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
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
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.
THE HARMONICS WERE SUCH A NICE TOUCH!!!! this is amazing
My jaw literally dropped the first time I listened to this, those harmonics are insane
these raw videos with 0 production are always charming in their own ways. Gave me the chills dude
Now this is a guitar player. Getting the harmonics just right is sorcery. Thank you.

Richard, if you ever read this, let's jam one day!
Absolutely insane. What a cover. Best I've seen.
This is absolutely insane.
So much attention to detail.
Hats off to you.
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.
It's definitely easier on piano. I'm a guitar player and learned it on piano. I could play it on guitar too though, but looks tough.

This has changed my guitar playing just seeing this
that 1:45 harmonic
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.
so glad whenever this comes back up in my feed.
beautiful. Kudos man.
Tuning is C#2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 and capo is on the 1st fret, Looks like I need to write tabs for this by myself :) Absolutely amazing arrangement.
Was looking for the tuning, thanks!
did you ever write those tabs?
@@FeltonHM I actually found that someone had made them already :) ruclips.net/video/G1gayta7cqY/видео.html
@@FeltonHM also looking back I would have not had skills to even write those. This is crazy hard 😅
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
Yesterday i broke up with My girlfriend, we couldn't be together much longer for a number of reasons, yet i still love her, she was, she is my home, she loves this song and used to play it on guitar very much like this version, i will come to this video frequently, when i think of her, when i miss my home. Thank u
If I didn’t know any better I’d think this song was written for acoustic guitar. Well done
what I like about this is that, at first, it sounds very heavy handed, but it is actually very silky, floaty and elegant
literally the best rendition of this song on guitar that exists.
Wow, absolutely spellbinding. Thank you for sharing.
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.
That was sooo freaking good!!! I loved it, I’m gonna try to learn it as well
Super talented guy. That was so impressive. Every attention to detail in the song. A true tribute ⭐
You play it beautifully, my friend.
Whoever you are Richard this is truly brilliant. Makes me sad but wonderful at the same time .
That looks so gnarly!
10/10 arrangement, that had all the right notes, in all the right pitches...beautiful man
What beautiful playing
beautiful arrangement - and love your video description !! upload first, question later
I listen to your version as much as the original now. Made me tear up you’re amazing man
Woah I did not expect those harmonics in the last part. I thought the song was playing in the background, the tone was so accurate. Beautiful, tasteful work sir
Stunning cover. Blown away by how good that was. Really was quite extraordinary.
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.
Damn, this sounds very chill but what a nightmare this would be to play. Well executed!
Holy cow, this is an absolutely beautiful rendition. Props to you and all the effort that went into this.
my jaw is lying on the damp, tear soaked floor.. this is amazing!
Really clever tab and great playing! Love the use of harmonics. Brilliant
I’ve never heard this song before. I’m really happy this popped up on my recommended this is so lovely
Woow! This is amazing. All those harmonics and the flow and everything. Super inspiring! Great job! :)
Kudos! This looks extremely difficult. Well done.
you're a freaking legend for this richard
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...
Absolutely stunning cover. Beautiful work, man.
absolutely stunning!!excellent job sir! this needs to be viral
amazing work. you are so talented. thank you.

Honestly unbelievable 10/10
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.
I actually love the phone recording vibe. It's like something your super talented mate messaged you on a whim.
so amazing wow! you nailed that, nice harmonics, and played all the way through. 10/10
This is one of my favorite songs. Lovely to hear it on a guitar❤
This was fantastic and you can be proud!
This deserves way more views
the original is beautiful and it translates perfectly into guitar. I am convinced this song if played properly is probably beautiful on every instrument
One of the most beautiful things I’ve heard afx would be proud :D
Outstanding adaptation for guitar. Bravo
very nice version!!!! love it
best cover of this
This is excellent!!
The best version I’ve heard yet. Great job.
Please do a video for the rest of the tab, such a great transcription for guitar!
Any chance of getting this tabbed? Best arrangement
One of the bests that I heard on RUclips 👍
I see an aphex cover, I watch I like! Great job.
Easily the best guitar cover for this I've seen.
Maybe the best cover there is; I can't stop listening.
What a great cover buddy 👍
That is fantastic, very talented and happy Avril 14th :)
This version captures, and adds to, the mystery of the original.
you are so special and you deserve the world, oh my god.
OMGGG THE ENDING !!! OMG ! I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU
Good lord, man. This arrangement is an absolute revelation. Well done!
Absolutely incredible
Perfectly captures the beauty of this, great work!

Speechless
