- 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 TH-cam 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
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
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.
these raw videos with 0 production are always charming in their own ways. Gave me the chills dude
Damn, this sounds very chill but what a nightmare this would be to play. Well executed!
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.
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
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.
Every time I revist this it's magical. This is absolutely the best rendition of this song. I want to hear this on a nylon guitar so badly, ill have to learn it...
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...
Hey yo! I just found future 35-ish years of age Brad Taste in Music
Nice playing, my dude
My jaw literally dropped the first time I listened to this, those harmonics are insane
Beautifully performed, this was amazing to watch. So many artificial harmonics! Genuinely insanely impressive, the control it takes to play something this intricate while maintaining the same tones and feeling of the original... Just superb.
If I didn’t know any better I’d think this song was written for acoustic guitar. Well done
Man that is incredible. I wasnt expecting much, but you blew me away. Such a complex song to compose and play
loving the harmonics! very nicely done man :)
I listen to your version as much as the original now. Made me tear up you’re amazing man
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.
I’ve never heard this song before. I’m really happy this popped up on my recommended this is so lovely
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.
Super talented guy. That was so impressive. Every attention to detail in the song. A true tribute ⭐
my jaw is lying on the damp, tear soaked floor.. this is amazing!
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

what I like about this is that, at first, it sounds very heavy handed, but it is actually very silky, floaty and elegant
Woow! This is amazing. All those harmonics and the flow and everything. Super inspiring! Great job! :)
so glad whenever this comes back up in my feed.
Easily the best guitar cover for this I've seen.
Maybe the best cover there is; I can't stop listening.
Kudos! This looks extremely difficult. Well done.
Whoever you are Richard this is truly brilliant. Makes me sad but wonderful at the same time .
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
the original is beautiful and it translates perfectly into guitar. I am convinced this song if played properly is probably beautiful on every instrument
This deserves way more views
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.
10/10 arrangement, that had all the right notes, in all the right pitches...beautiful man
literally the best rendition of this song on guitar that exists.
Blimey, Matthew Corbett has branched out quite a bit from Sooty and Sweep in recent years!
Sweep did the harmonics
Holy cow, this is an absolutely beautiful rendition. Props to you and all the effort that went into this.
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
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.
Stunning cover. Blown away by how good that was. Really was quite extraordinary.
One of the most beautiful things I’ve heard afx would be proud :D
DUDE! That's freaking sick as fuck! So, so good! I do not understand why this doesn't have way more views. Absolutely criminal.
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 :) th-cam.com/video/G1gayta7cqY/w-d-xo.html
@@FeltonHM also looking back I would have not had skills to even write those. This is crazy hard 😅
I see an aphex cover, I watch I like! Great job.
This is one of my favorite songs. Lovely to hear it on a guitar❤
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.
Cheers from the facebook group :) really nice sound
That is fantastic, very talented and happy Avril 14th :)
The best version I’ve heard yet. Great job.
best cover of this
That looks so gnarly!
I actually love the phone recording vibe. It's like something your super talented mate messaged you on a whim.
this has got to be one of the best covers of this song omg. wish i could do harmonics like that!
Good lord, man. This arrangement is an absolute revelation. Well done!
OMGGG THE ENDING !!! OMG ! I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU
you are so special and you deserve the world, oh my god.
I have no idea why this showed up in my search for Smoke City's Underwater Love but great job man. Probably the best cover of Avril 14th I've heard.
Best version.
This is actually unreal. What the fuck. Mad props my guy!
Honestly unbelievable 10/10
Beautiful very well done man. Great guitar playing looking forward to hearing more from you
Thank you very much!
you're a freaking legend for this richard
Absolutely stunning cover. Beautiful work, man.
You play it beautifully, my friend.
A man of science and taste!
possibly the best guitar cover i have ever heard on this site. Congrats man, you did an incredible arrangement
okay that was great. i can understand it’s probably very difficult on guitar as an arrangement and i would be nervous with sweaty hands and get and fail a couple times over. huge props because this sounds great 🥲
beautiful arrangement - and love your video description !! upload first, question later
This version captures, and adds to, the mystery of the original.
so amazing wow! you nailed that, nice harmonics, and played all the way through. 10/10
beautiful. Kudos man.
Adding to the chorus--this is my favorite rendition of this Ive seen on TH-cam. 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!
Wow, this sounds so beautiful! The harmonics are a perfect touch. Amazing work man :D
Oh my god.
Gave me massive chills towards the end.
Really clever tab and great playing! Love the use of harmonics. Brilliant
Wonderful playing, you play like your life was like a video game
The harmonics man, wow.
What a great cover buddy 👍
absolutely stunning!!excellent job sir! this needs to be viral
Superb work my man. Using all the timbre and acoustics of the instrument!
Can't believe this doesn't have more views. Amazin.
Love it! Most faithful version I’ve heard!
One of the bests that I heard on TH-cam 👍
You got a sub from me bro!! This is the best cover ive heard, its really on par with the original! The harmonics take it to another level.
Really nice!! Im always searching aphex guitar version and this is a really good one!
Jfrus Thanks a lot! I’ve got more in the pipeline. I’m ready and waiting with my version of Vordhosbn, to be uploaded soon, and I’ve had the intention of doing a few of the “doable” ones from Drukqs, so more is on the way. Stay tuned.
This is simply incredible, i don't have the words to describe it!!!
Beautiful work dude. Sounds amazing. Super well done. I love it.
*P*E*A*C*E*
I have the same poster! Also well done on the cover, I'm learning it on piano
Just want you to know, I listen to this cover as much as the original now.
Thank you for that piece ! You enter in my playlist of the best Avril 14th versions.
This is absurdly good
I am having breakfast while listening to this. The perfect atmosphere 🍳🍞🧀❤️🎶
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!! Absolutely pure! You’re gifted and talented!
This was fantastic and you can be proud!
Absolutely fantastic, mate. Brilliant. Lovely playing. Keep going, bro ✌️
Bravo, Brother! Sincerely, the end nearly made me tear up. Beautiful performance.
Harmonics eveywhere! - highly skilled - Love it!
