  • Heres a tip! Great cover btw. When playing cello, try moving your thumb more to the back of the neck of the instrument it makes it easier to manuever the C and G strings. Also hold your bow differently.

  • @Deion6000 suck a dick. it sounds good that's the main thing ain't it?

  • @jackstein104 How about you go do that you f@ggot? I'm giving constructive criticism and helping him get better than he already is.

  • @Deion6000 you wrote faggot wrong...

  • @jackstein104 Ask me if I care about spelling on youtube.

  • @Deion6000 It's hard to take a person seriously when they use @'s instead of A's.

  • Nice tone :) I find it interesting the way he holds his bow, like a violinist, as this technique is specifically adapted to playing with a lighter bow. Also similarly he does not hold his elbow up.

  • WOW he is very good ;D

    

  • Umm yeah, honestly it doesn't matter how you hold the bow that much . . . and I switch from the violin to the cello and to the bass everyday in orchestra and I hold all of the bows like a violin hold. . . and it sounds like everyone else...

  • tis is so amazing it mad me cry omg this is just so good

  • apocalyptica stand when they play their music, does that mean they are bassists? there different ways to holding a bow :P x

  • this is soo beautiful!! hahaha but i can tell you're a violinist by the way you hold the bow XD! Yeah for violinists!!

  • absolutley amazing ♫

  • why did you stop MAKING VIDEOS???????

  • Umbrella Rhianna

  • Bravo!

  • wow!!! este chico merece una verdadera ovacion! me paro para aplaudirle...

  • amazing!

    

  • AMZG!!!!!!

  • wow beautiful

  • thats so cool that u play cello i play string bass its so cool

  • you can tell hes a violinist judging from how he holds his bow. But awsomee(:

  • do u have the cello notes for it

  • Everyone keeps saying that he hold his bow wrong. But i think its quite understandable because i guess he played the violin much longer than cello. And this is how you hold your violin bow and he is just more used to that.

    I think its a good cover...

  • That's sum mad metronome skills dude. How did u keep both of them the exact tempo without screwing up!!!??? ...Nuff ssid

  • This is so very beautiful and you get a good sound from the way you play. I like that bow hold, it looks neater. You're so talented...

  • AWESOME!!!!Where did you get sheet music?

  • Who cares about his cello posture in all it was an awsome song and its sadder than i thought it would be GOOD JOB I SUBSCRIBE

  • The way he is holding the bow is from the modern cello school. My latest teacher was a juliard graduate and has been playing for nearly twenty five years, he had me switch to the other grip because when used correctly it produces better sound quality. It is the grip I like over the classic one I had been trained with for eight years, and after two months of the modern grip, I learned to like it a whole lot better.

  • IMMA SO PLAY THIS SONG ON MAH CELLO NOW! :D

  • it's wunderful

  • I play the cello to and im only 11

  • I play cello too

    very good

    i'm 14

  • I have to agree he does look a little tense in the way he holds the bow, however it doesn't affect his playing. Not everyone will do things the same, as in follow the norm so its not necessary a negative. Brilliant playing of Umbrella, thumbs up from me

  • i like the juxtaposition of the pot plant!

  • He holds his bow kinda like a violin player. xD But he still plays well!

  • This sounds beauthiful!!! You are amazing!!so much better than rihanna

  • Lol yes, he does play violin, thus the awkward bow hold.

  • Awesome cover really great playing. As a fellow musician Id say you should leave the vocal melody strictly to the cello and have the piano simply play the chords behind it. The high piano notes kind of drown out the cello. Or perhaps just turn down the piano alittle bit if possible. Keep it up though sounds great!

  • His right hand position is really off he must really play the violin...

  • Cool!

  • It don't matter how a man hold his stick, s'all bout how he uses it :P in this guys case v well! xD

  • Cool! You play violin or viola though, don't you? Amazing intonation considering!

  • The Piano is to fast

  • it is ok for the bow hold. I dont even play the cello.But i do play the violin.my first of playing it.i rock so do u!

  • I don't think it matters how he holds his bow.

  • @Torakiwhite It kind of does. If he changes the way he holds the bow, he would have a even better sound, and it wouldn't be so hard on his hands. Juuussst sayin ( ;

  • @Torakiwhite Actually it does. I picked up the same bad habit and hard to correct it now.

  • @Torakiwhite LOL coming from someone who obviously doesn't play a stringed instrument. stfu fag.

  • @patugi i cant say i love this comment enough. :)

  • @Torakiwhite actually it does, it helps with articulation( if thats how you spell it...), his hold is a violin hold. Cello players tend to hook the right pinky over onto the frog. Not rest on the wood above the frog.

  • @winniepig29 - If you get the job done you get the job done. I'm sure people told Mark Recchi he shouldn't skate the way he does.  Two Stanley Cups later who's right?

  • @winniepig29 It depends on the player. What's comfortable for the player is what they should do. Django Reinhart plays guitar with two fingers on his left hand. Don't see people complaining about his form.

  • @winniepig29 i agree it does matter but ive been playing the cello for over a year now and as long as the finger doesent touch the string it doesent matter........

  • @winniepig29 he plays just fine without your little tips.

  • @Torakiwhite lol no kidding, i know some guy that holds his in a fist, still made 1st violin as a freshie tho XD

    

  • @Torakiwhite do you play an instrument it makes a difference how you hold a guitar pick technique is important

  • @Torakiwhite it does im a violin player and my classmate is a cello player IT DOES MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Torakiwhite Unlike the many people to claim that you're wrong, I don't really think it's all that important. It's important to have the right bowhold when learning, but it's fine to find one you like better. He can obviously play beautifully with a not-so-standard bowhold, so everyone else needs to shut up and enjoy the music.

  • @TheGiantPony1 I bet his hand or arm hurt after playing a lot an I'm not sure if he would easily get the bow to stroke straight (the sound wont come cleanly if you dont get the bow to be straight)

  • Oooh, beautiful.

  • Really cool.

  • yeah your bow hold looks like a violin bow hold

  • this sounds soo great *.*

  • why did you stop posting videos? D:

  • Nice idea and execution. Good job!

  • i say this guy is a violinist at heart. look at both his hands.

  • @runningcello no... when your teacher goes, is any one intrested in music, you see a violin, and a cello, most pepole pick gutair, they pick violin, you dont pick cello inless the momne tyou see it you fall in love with it, when i saw that thing it screamed out to me, and ive never looked back, his hands are most likely the way he was taught

  • yu r amazing

  • awesomerificness. i love the cello and piano. just wish i good with technology to put a video on here. lol

  • WOW it´s so wonderful ... you can make feelings with your music

  • I want notes for this!!

  • nice

    

  • You're cello is beautiful. Great job!

  • Sweet this is awesome!! Youtube go check out my youtube profile and search my name Brandon Custis in the search box to see my latest my videos of me playing piano and guitar

  • YOUR BOW HAND BURNS MY EYES.

  • Beautiful

  • beautiful wow grass !

  • you did a great job can you make a cover for secrets by one republic

  • love it, i'm going to try it tomorrow ;) xx

  • you're very talented

  • I've apreciated a lot your work. Very good

  • can you play that on viola if you can give the notes please

  • nice!

  • best cover ever of this song. absolutely amazing.

  • Oh my gosh, I love this!!! *w*

    The sound of the cello is just a bit... um, I can't think of how to describe it. kind of hollow-ish, maybe? *can't think of right word* It probably has something to do with not enough rosin, or lower-quality cello? I dunno. (Not saying your cello is bad, it's very pretty)

    Sorry, I probably don't know what I'm talking about, I'm only 14. -_-

    Overall, I love this cover! ^^

  • That is great! I'm now gonna play it on the cello to! But I don't know the notes so that's gonna be long seeking! :)

  • beautiful!!

  • that was great but your bow holding looks like it would be for violin

  • dude. You're a violinist like me, aren't you? The cello sounds nice, but your hand seems a bit stressed

  • your good just need to work on that technique

  • your bow posture is so wrong for cello but the song is awesome

  • @juanmedina1169 It's because he is a violin player.

  • @juanmedina1169 its not wrong its just a different way. Like usain bolts technique in running is wrong but yet hes the fastest man on earth?

  • @juanmedina1169 His Bow Posture is Perfectly Fine .

    I Dont Know What your Talking About Because Thats How I Hold My Bow But He Makes it Look Even Better .

    Plus His Bow Posture Didnt Effect The Song Now Did It . ?

    No It Didnt so Dont Critisize Him About Stupid Stuff Like Bow Posture if It Didnt Effect The song smartness.

    :P

  • @juanmedina1169 Actually it's ok and I should know, I play the cello.

  • @juanmedina1169 the biggest instruments players of all the time never fallowed any rules to play their instruments, thats what make them unique. - HUMAN KIND.

  • @juanmedina1169 dont you want to kill people like @Torakiwhite who say "i dont think it matters how he holds his bow" CLEARLY he knows nothing about the cello. >:[

  • @LoveDoctor1o1 dude.... no need to bring murder into this... :I its quite obvious hes more used to violin, so give him a break... i dont see you posting videos of you playing cello, do i?

  • @juanmedina1169 that's how my posture is and I've been first chair for 4 years.

  • Really beautiful, well done!

  • it doesn't really sound like Umbrella to me :/

  • @TeicaAnyZd Oh..that mean's you're retarded. Sorry you had to find out like this.

  • @theglurgle so you are saying you are retarded? well,i'm sorry for you :(

  • Would you consider doing Welcome To Detroit?

  • You seem to be multi-talented? i think thats a word? anyways its really nice and its making me cry right now, ohh and a good job!!

  • Both the cello and piano parts were dead-on, not only in rhythm but melodically as well. Very well done. Next up, I wanna see you add an acoustic guitar, stand-up bass and percussion to it. You can do it!!! :P

  • i came.

    positively astounding. 

  • better than the original!!!!

  • lol I like the random shots of the furniture and such

  • I have searched for other covers of Umbrella, mostly piano only, but this one still remains my favorite cover of the song.

  • pretty good! :)

    would it kill you to use the upper half of your bow?! ;ppp

    i would work on the bow hold, we're starting to look a bit like the violas. -.-

  • You're very talented :)

  • does anyone know other artists who do cello/piano/violin covers for modern pop music? just like this one... & where i can download their music?

  • @nicolanthon25 Hm, well I can't really suggest any particular artists (other than the ones that show up in the related videos bar) I can suggest a website where you can convert the audio from any youtube video into an mp3, it's called vidtomp3.com. Enjoy :)

  • Beautiful. Isn't that how you hold a violin bow though? I could be mistaken... that sure isn't how I hold my cello bow though...

  • @loveoflife4eva I'm not sure how a cello's bow is supposed to be held, but yeah..

    he's holding the bow the same way I used to hold my violin bow lol

  • @OMFGitsLindyLopez i think he's more a violinist thats why

  • you and your twin are very talented lol great job keep it up

  • 哥们你特强 so cool

  • amazing :)

    Where did you get the cello notes (sheet) from? online? if so which?

  • @celloqueenseo He does this by ear, so I think.

  • BEAUTIFUL !!

  • the color of the walls are too beautiful! 

  • maeby i will start to lising rihannaxD

  • Bow hand Ahh!It was amazing, but the hand goes against everything I was ever taught. It hurts to watch X[

  • Yeah, his bow hand is killer. Even as an amateur, my cello teacher taught me never to counter balance the weight of the bow with the pinky finger. This causes tension and even strain on the joints. After several hours of playing, my hand would pain.

  • great job! could i please get the sheet music for the piano part?

  • u look mad

  • Great Job man ...

    its not easy to play different instruments in record-quality. going on man.. very nice

  • hi men... i loved you cover awesome!!! how can i get the score?

  • I LOVE IT SOO MUCH

  • i take it your originaly a violin player??

  • Dude, it's alright, but...your posture painsss me.

  • WOW *_* amazing !! 

  • NOTES PLEASE!!!!

  • This is amazing!

  • how many instrument do you play? you you......superman! no that's the wrong word...chuck norris!!

  • This shows how beautiful a song can really be if you make it meaningful and truly a "song".

  • You should put this up on itunes I want it! Great job.

  • notes, please. wonderful job.

  • tell me the notes for the cello

    !

  • I love this video and you play super well. I play myself violin and sing too so I appreciate good talent and know when I see it.

  • you are great guy!!! i love this one

  • LOVE

  • It's very beautiful xD

    I love it ;D

  • So great!!! i love it!

  • So beautiful to listen to, you guys should be proud of yourselves!

  • @JENAD1 It is the same guy playing both instruments, Genius!

  • me gusta, lastima qeu son chinos

  • dude, this made me cry. The magic of cello! Well played,maestro!

  • Sounds alright, but your bow hand is killing me.

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed same its not the best...

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed whats wrong with it?

  • @SurferBro777 You obviously don't play cello. Don't worry about it.

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed well, your right, i dont play cello, i play double bass and was in orchestra for 9 years and there is no difference to how you hold a bow for either, so ya, i would know a thing or two about how to hold a fricken bow

  • @SurferBro777 I didn't mean it like that, I just didn't feel like explaining. The way his pinky is on top of the bow and how his wrist is twisted is similar to how a violinist would hold one.

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed if u dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all and it was 1,000 times better than alright

  • @squirrely102 I didn't mean to be mean to him or offend anybody, I was just trying to help him get better by fixing his bow hand.

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed .Sorry, why is killing you?(i don't play cello, but i want learn)

  • @ARQKAYAK its because its bad grip, if you want to see what a good one looks like, just let your hand go limp and stick a pencil (representing a bow) in between your 4 fingers and thumb.

  • @ARQKAYAK The way his pinky is on top of the bow and how his wrist is twisted is similar to how a violinist would hold one.

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed He probably plays the violin also. I play viola and when I play cello i hold the bow extremely wrong. But its really just a personal preference. I'm also a side mouth flute player.

  • @mcrflyleafdisturbed it's because he's playing the cello like a violin. check out his other videos; he's a pretty talented violinist first and foremost. also hence his left hand being titled back so much and scrunched up... violin.

  • This gives me goosebumps. Brava!

  • Can I Have the music for the cello please.

    Also Beautiful <3

    Wish i could play like you

  • eres el mejor tienes mucho talento sigue asi te mereces un aplauso y yo te doi un aplauso enora buena

  • I love how you described the cello's tone~ Love the vid, too~ ;D

  • This is soo beautiful. I've recently started playing the cello, and attempting some harder music, and this perfect! Really inspired me! Also, love the video!

    x

  • Outstanding and excellent.

  • Man, I can't bear the original for 30 secs, but this cover really is a superb job. Man where are you for the last two years? We want more.

  • ning ur my new hero bro haha thats some talent bro ive been trying to learn piano for almost a year n i suck tits

  • I think this is a great cover, however there were some triplets that you played as just eighth notes on the cello which for some reason really bothered me lol.

  • At how many instruments u now to play??

  • wow!

  • Great Job. Could you send me the notes?

  • @SouthernTwist7 tell me if you figure it out! =)

  • i think im in love you made this so much better :O

  • Me too! I want to play this at my wedding as well.
