  • SO COOOOOOL!! it is soo awsome!! enjoyed every second of it!

  • do u have perfect pitch?

  • @jbobay2339aol no... but i PRACTISE! :)

  • I greatly appreciate your offer. I'll practice and look forward to possibly learning from you in a few years. I also think its great that you actually reply to people's posts. I don't see that too often.

  • @IanMDecker that sounds like a good plan indeed

  • Awesome! I'm a cellist myself but nowhere near that good. I'm only in my third year but I hope to be that great someday.

  • @IanMDecker you can apply to be my rock cello student, i´m teaching on Skype...reach me at eliask1983.. Though i would recommend you to practise a few more years before that.

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, dude i never see a cover of cello and this is amazing.

    Make mover videos please. :D

  • @Daftp22 thanks and i am working on stuff with my band that should be massive...

  • Very impressive!! :)

  • Väldigt bra!

    Very nice!

    Awesome song, awesomely performed :)!

    Good job man!

  • @emrikox tack so mycke! :)

  • AMMAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIINN­NNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG

    is there somewhere i could get the sheet music?

  • @Jonghwan1 In a way yes... i´m a professional pop cello teacher and i have started to teach pop rock cello online. My skype is eliask1983.

  • This song is good, too uahsuh Na verdade, todos os vídeos dessa cara são bons!!! Parabéns.

  • @MacilioLetrado thanks!

  • @eliaskahila I was surprised when you answered my post. This is very good because it shows that you really care with those who post here. Do you speak Portuguese? I want to propose something to you: I am a Portuguese teacher, If you teach me to play the cello I'll teach you to speak Portuguese.

  • @MacilioLetrado yes, i do care. I think it´s really cool that people found my style this way-> Very important for me. I dont think people have an idea of how much i work for this. I dont speak Portuguese. I speak finnish and english, a bit swedish too. I´d have to pass on that because in Finland portuguese is not very common but thank you anyway :)

  • @eliaskahila I imagined that the Portuguese were not very common in your country. In fact, I used this idea to teach you to try to have some cello lessons kkkkk But I see that my tactic did not work. : D Imagine friend, thank you for your attention.

  • Funky cello!

  • @sirgerry yesss!

  • sheet music, please!!:)

  • @pinkkipantteri1 this song includes a pop/jazz bowing technique that i created. Thatswhy sheet music is not good enough. I am teaching this through Skype. Are you interested?

  • Hi Elias, today it's my Birthday, and I'm going to Apocalyptica today evening!!

    And of course it is still GREAT!!

    I don't know if you remember me, my Name was Videowhatever when we wrote, last, maybe half a yearor more ago, I don't know..

    Frendly greatings,

    VFXler

  • @VFXler Hi! i remember you. Have a great evening! Paavo from Apo is my friend. Say hi from me if you meet :) psst. We are recording a new cover tomorrow

  • @eliaskahila Wow nice to hear that you remember me :p

    They were really great, LOVED IT!!

    I'm really looking forward to listening to it!

    And I totally forgot to subscribe with my new channel :)

  • I just typed a really really long comment about everything I love in this, but youtube said it had too many characters, I will just say I LOOOOVVVEEE IT!!! And you've get extra points for play a red hot chilli peppers song haha :)

    You should try doing a song where you play the vocal part but I really love how this sounds it's amazing.

  • @samigraceday thank you so much and thanks for the request. Please join my Facebook fansite for updates on new videos - new stuff coming :)

  • @samigraceday thanks ! We are working on "Californication" at the moment

  • You should try playing some DMB songs. I can see you going perfect with it, your style and all.

  • I was really impressed after hearing this!

    I'm a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, and this cover is so unique.

    I get the feeling they would love this.

    Maybe their upcoming new album could use some cello?

    Anyway if my name was Anthony Kiedis I would definitely call you!

  • Dude! Thats crazy sick! If I were to offer any critique at all it would be to make the chorus a little more funky. Otherwise positively stellar!

  • I'm pretty sure that they would be so happy and proud that such a talented and ambitious people as you can play their stuff on the instruments like cello without destroying the original song. You've added something yours to their music and that is really beautiful thing!

    Sorry for my poor language skills ; ) Greetings from Poland, we're waiting for something new!

  • 1:44! Man, I just love you! Peppers would be proud : )

  • @Goral7890 thanks, love you too :) i wish somebody showed my clips (this and Scar Tissue) to a Peppers member. But i guess i´ll have to wait for that to happen...

  • I need you here in Miami!!!!!!!! xD

  • @Francisco450 I would love to visit there. I´m building a band for this with kick-ass musicians. We play this song in the set too. Elias Kahila Band. Please spread the word.

  • As if Cello wasn't sexy enough :-)

    Rock On!

  • -.- I don't like you peopl... I want to play cello... but I am BROKE!! sigh...

  • @aSpadeRawrs haha. you should start a general fund for ya... Wish they were for free.

  • @eliaskahila T.T I do too... My mother siad if I get a 4.0 by the end of the year.. she MIGHT get me one... but for the time being.. I'll need to earn some money..

  • HOLY FUCK !!!!!!!!!! THATS SICK MAN

  • oh thank you but there is a very distance between us,I'm from italy! ahahah

    whatever,thanks for your awesome videos!!

  • @Klaryrock95 i dont mind travelling , besides i´ve never been in Italy :) I heard there´s great food..

  • Well,maybe you will not believe it, but thanks to you that I started to play!

    I played the cello but I had no desire to study ... since I saw your video I thought: Wow! This is a cool instrument!

    I started playing seriously and now I'm so happy I did it ... THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Klaryrock95 that´s fantastic! Where do you live? I´d love to teach you pop/rock. This kind of stuff (funky stuff) has a special technique involved. if there´s any music camps or workshops ask them to contact me. you never know..

  • dude... you're my hero.

    Seriously, we should do some collab. You can't see it on my channel now, because there's only a shitty schindler's list up, but I'll put some new stuff on soon I guess.

  • @WafflesHouse813 thanks... I´m working on more Peppers. Please spread the word!!

  • You're the best musician I've seen, go on to play the good music

  • @Maor255 thanks so much. Tryin´...

  • this is really awesome! How long did it take you to perfect this???

  • @JRobinD1289 thanks! I took about few days jam to get the basic ideas for the groove expecially and little time more for the soloes (+working the Frusciante groove), but alltogether finishing and polishing it took maybe a month because i wanted to get it as good as i can.

  • très surprenant, féliciations :)

  • yea!!!

  • dude! you are awsome!

    here from ISRAEL!

  • that is so strange and also fucking amazing!

  • Great !!!

  • Awsome!!!

  • Yep ime 12 and ime a 4th grade cellist so i wana show people the funk side of the cello............GREAT CELLO ISN'T JUST classical ROCK ON

  • wow how awesome :] u were gettn down hard

  • im a cello player as well and its really amazing how you can turn modern day songs that many young people like myself and others listen to , into being playable by th cello! really cool! would you happen to consider puting a page up or something of the notes to this song?

  • @roycrillo thanks! man, i absolutely never use notes.... so, i´m sorry but there is no sheet music. It´s all blues-based jam and developed that way with hard work training the ear, most important thing. i may put up a tutorial video, how-to, at some point.

  • im a cello player as well and its really amazing how you can turn modern day songs that many young people like myself and others listen to , into being playable by th cello! really cool! would you happen to consider puting a page up or something of the notes to this song?

  • very gooddddd , muito bom !

  • Hahah this is so cool. Holy shit the solos were amazing.

  • another amazing piece!!!

  • more red hot !

  • You're amazing! How long have you been playing? Where have you studied? Please do "Otherside" and "Californication" as well, and I'll be eternally grateful...

  • @kennelcenturyfox thanks.. 19 years. I´ve studied here in Finland as a professional classical cellist, but this funk/pop thing i created myself. I always loved grooves the most and i missed that in classical a bit. Definetily more Peppers coming later. Love the band as well..

  • this is realy cool! I love the red hot chill peppers! :P Have u ever thought of doing tutorials????

  • @vivi432123 thanks. Tutorials...yeah, possibly. Right now i´m just working on new covers.

  • you are my favorite male celliste !!!!!

    Really cooll man, really nice, make more please.

    Its all about make new things !!!!

  • @faristropoli thanks. i try to show people the funky/soul side of cello. it exists.. Next cover will be "JAM" from Michael Jackson!

  • awesome job man! your to good on the cello!

  • i like it man yeeeeeeaaaa:)

  • Excellent stuff! I like that you wrote your own part for it too, rather than just copy the guitar.

  • I was trying to learn how to play this song on guitar when i came across this. This is amazing and has inspired me in many ways. I have a school performance and we are doing this song and now i think i need a cello in it. I think im going to get a kid from band to do it but i have to say this is BEAUTIFUL. You did an amazing job and i think i might start looking into picking up the cello :D

  • @pimpinbunny thanks, i am honoured! very cool. This song is extreme difficult for bow hand, and for playing this kind of shit you must learn the blues and funk/rhytm technique for both hands. Wish you all the best!

  • great job! I'm an Icelandic cellist, and i love it when people do something out of the ordinary. I'm guessing you've heard of Apocalyptica :) ?

  • @naggi22 I know some of them personally. It´s a small world (expecially music biz).. thanks for your comment.

  • i like this alot def something different

  • awesome

  • Fuck, you are so awsome :D:D

  • this is fuck'n sick! BRAVO

  • 2.07 - 2.18. THAT WAS SICK! wow! :D

  • that is so awesome :)

  • WOW!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • omg youre amaizng! i also play the cello and like to jam to Rap and R&B one of my favorites to jam to is "Lost"- by Gorilla Zoe, I would love to hear what you would sound like on some R&b and Rap !

  • @jjf588 Thanks. I LOVE rap and r&b.. Thanks for the song request, i´ll check it out man.

  • do you have the sheet music for me? You are so talented. I also play the cello, for i guess 7 years now, but i want to go to another genre. so yeah, please help me?

    xxxx

  • @kroela Sorry for the delay, i didnt notice your message until right now. Unfortunately i dont have sheets or notes, but playing this kind of stuff requires learning shuffle/blues rhytms for right, also for left. Playing by ear. I´m working on "how-to-play" video.

  • Absolutely awesome haha

  • awsome!

  • That is beautiful. I have played the cello for 5 years your music has inspired me to experiment with different kinds of music. I have won awards for creativity any tips to help me with the struggles to create?

  • @passionhorses14 nice to hear! Usually i get the best melody/rhytm ideas when i am not playing cello... then i record it in voice recorded and later transform to cello. Listen to ALL kinds of music. Try different things (versatility):Play melody, rhytm,harmonic notes, any from reggae to metal. BUT: serve the song. Listen to the guitarists.On this clip i play Frusciante´s parts plus the soloes, and some parts of the riffs are my own. Rec your playing everyday, always listen.
