Radiohead - Lotus Flower (Acoustic Cover)

[justguitar2012]

super mellow. Best cover.

[oasis12334]

quality guitar, excellent voice, great cover

[kris242]

fantastic cover! The guitar reminds me a lot of of Guinevere by Crosby, Stills and Nash

[misterhazz]

Great cover. Digging the outro! Great improv! Make more like that :)

[ViolentVelocity43]

This is AMAZINGGG!!

[Redping2020]

You are amazing, good sir. Big fan from australia

[Hingaroo]

@Redping2020 same

[ruiz808]

long time fan, first time caller, err commenter. i've been learning from you ever since you put out the house of cards cover. anyways, as all the tutorials you put out, i've been obsessed with trying to learn this song, using your cover as well. i noticed that you use different chords for the second phrase (slowly we unfurl..) from your tutorial. i know its kinda basic question but im still a beginner and it would be much appreciated..aloha from the 808 state!

[warrenmusic]

@ruiz808 Those are two different fingerings for the same Bbmaj7 chord. Check out the description in the acoustic tutorial. Thanks for the comment.

[juancito1114]

wow man, this cover is awesome! i think thom woud like to hear you playing his songs. Congrats!! (a fan of yours from Argentina).

[supersonicxmind]

DU WACH CHU WON (8)

[csmsmith1]

Uau... what a pleasure to listen to... your voice is really a wild bird in flight with this one... and the notes flowing like a water cascade... you sure made this song your own.  I am still working on Little By Little... it is taking me months to finish exploring my guitar and to gain enough confidence to actually tackle these beautiful songs. <3

[warrenmusic]

@Delli2289 Thanks for the comment. Cleartones were the first I tried after Curt Mangan, and I found them lacking in brightness for acoustic. I have really enjoyed them on my Carruthers' Tele but for acoustic, I prefer Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 Mediums.

[ASTROLOGYREVOLUTION]

awesome!!!

[HigorIgnaccioXXXXII]

Before seeing this video, I thought it would be possible to make a good acoustic version of that song.

[EddyForeskin]

You have achieved an amazing cover.

[lea5lea55]

In one word-WOW.

[ZiGGyMaidEN]

oh my god this sounds amazing!

[warrenmusic]

@zdarknes72 Same chord, can be played with the same voicing starting on the 6th or 5th strings.

[zdarknes72]

@warrenmusic yea i looked at your finger positioning and used common knowledge to find the correct chord. thats why i deleted the comment, but thank you again soo much

[zdarknes72]

this sounds amazing... you have to put this out for download somehow...

[warrenmusic]

@zdarknes72 Check the video description. I am your friend.

[zdarknes72]

@warrenmusic wow i feel stupid D: thank you so much though :D

[basverhage]

This version gives me chills. Lately I have been listening to this version a lot more than the original.

[troupedodoop]

amazing man

great voice really killed it

[joselchino]

Incredible.. its not better than the original just because its better than the original.. radiohead has some imperfection that makes them unique.. but this one is again impressive

[n0nameTAZ]

I cant find my jaw.

[ChablesMan]

I imagine this is what it would sound like if Nick Drake and Radiohead somehow traveled through time and made music together.

[Sleepyabess]

this deeply hits me. incredible. greetings and best wishes from germany.

[chriss2401]

this is fucking amazing.greetings from greece.

[andre230994]

Would of loved to listen to Warren alone...

[dengercat]

I wish the cover bands in pubs played music like you do

[ezgi5118]

AMAZING JOB GUYS!!!

[Soulvania]

Dude, i've been looking up radiohead covers all day, you've with out a doubt won my vote for best covers. You're an inspiration, keep it coming bro. Much love from MN!

[warrenmusic]

@Soulvania Thanks very much, man. I appreciate it. I try to put a lot of work into my covers. One of my favorite bands is from Minneapolis (Halloween, Alaska). I'm going to miss a CD release/listening party there and I'm bummed about it! Oh, and I also love The Current. I think I will come visit Minneapolis one day.

[Soulvania]

@warrenmusic We'd love to have ya here! Great music scene.

[Soulvania]

@warrenmusic Haha, now you've gotten me into that band -thanks

[Bornkilla174]

I hope you get paid for what you do!

[warrenmusic]

@Bornkilla174 Thanks! I teach guitar and music theory full-time and over Skype, actually. Does that count?

[Bornkilla174]

@warrenmusic Pretty damn good if you ask me! Just keep doin' what your doin! Your Reckoner tutorial has helped a lot! Thanks!

[SirensAndSounds]

[dubz72]

i usually get extremely embarrassed watching people do radiohead covers ... but i have to say .. you are fantastic ... a pleasure to view ... and thanks for all the playing instructions also

[AustenMoretMusic]

Absolutely fantastic....could listen to this all day.  I wish I could learn how to write more songs that break the mold like Radiohead, and play them as well as you, Warren and Brian!!!

[Bahamutdordi]

[grimbz]

[BrendanRandall19]

Hey Warren, I just wanna let you know that you are truly a talented musician. I have been checking out your video tutorials for YEARS and you ALWAYS come through! And when I thought that you couldn't get any cooler putting up tutorials...you put up stuff like this! It's honestly entertaining to watch you play guitar. On top of that, your vocals are top notch too! Just wanted to leave you a comment to let you know that your efforts never go unnoticed or unappreciated. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[warrenmusic]

@BrendanRandall19 Thank you for the very kind words.

[yasseford]

This is just god damned brilliant.

[VaZluver]

This was amazing all 5 times in a row that I listened. Thank you!

[TheCureRSX]

Now i'm listening to your cover every morning, this is so sweet and beautiful, greetings from france!

[AwesomeBuddy12]

That other guy kinda ruined the song but you did a good job though.

[madfuzz]

素晴らしい！

fantastic!

[thezenrunner]

I think Radiohead writes songs for Warren cover... not the other way around.

[warrenmusic]

@thezenrunner Truly awesome to have supporters like you even though your comment may be considered blasphemy in the church of Radiohead. Hahah

[bradwrage]

Amazing Warren. I feel very privileged to have you as my teacher.

[warrenmusic]

@bradwrage Thanks Brad, means a lot. Keep up the good work, and one day I will be commenting on your videos.

[dnahsnam]

This is like a fine wine, getting better with age.

[langers37]

fucking amazing

[Hypergeorges]

Super !

[FaucetFace]

[lnnerPeace]

[Lordmanic]

Beautiful!

[Eblanc]

This song suits you very well Warren. I really like your voice tesiture here. I think I like it more than the original.

[jimisjoint]

Ridiculously good.

[ChablesMan]

The next Thom and Jonny???

[exoduscornflakes]

[colm147]

I think even Thom and the boys would say you did this great song justice.

[theewhale]

This is a stunning cover. I could listen to you play all day

[reeceoconnell1991]

Wow Warren! This is great, I mean I would buy a cd if you had one!

[beatsn2veg]

What a wicked version. Bloomin' marvellous!

[ohmoonparades]

fantastic cover. fantastic.

[itcouldb]

phillip wong's brother! good job!

[loveendless91]

Thank you guys, this is a great form of resisting all the commercial bullshit that is being Tattooed into our societies . I used to play the guitar and i stopped eventually over time, i always told myself i didn't have time until i reached a point in where i actually lost hold of time, but art in this form cannot be pushed aside.

[toorn2]

I thought the lyrics go "slowly we unfurl" but nvm... It's a marvelous cover. Pure greatness! 

[ghbetterthanrb648]

@toorn2 Its unfold

[alexonstage88]

brilliant guitar arrangement!

[thekingoflimbs01]

yes, your covers are the best in tube

[robertvettraino]

pretty amazing. i hope ur making money man u have talentt! THUMBS UP

[treefingers1206]

Brilliant work as always Warren. You're a beast. Keep it up.

[ElAullidoDeLaNada]

This cover is the definition of "feeling".

[HighSchoolReality]

do i have to pay you royalties if i jam along to you? cause damn you just revitalized my love for guitar. keep those covers coming man. and where is the tutorial for playing that one? eh, best keep it to yourself i guess. that shits personal lol.

[CrumbsForComfort]

v nice version lads

[Cyferion]

Excellent cover again, Warren! Congratulations to You and Your friend. I'm sure Thom would shake your hand with respect if only he had seen your covers.

[giorgcluni]

To me your best vocal performance.

Congratulation. Once again you make me listen to a song in a different way.

Thank U

[tycho975]

That gave me the craziest chills. Very original. Great job guys.

[shid007]

Wow... just found that they changed the bass line from early Thom version where it goes F D C ... to D F C :) Crazy ... it gives it sort of different feeling ... and it strangely goes against the melody that Thom sings ... they won't cease to surprise me :)

[geniusgza7]

slip into the groove and cut me off, not cut me up, i think i could be wrong but makes a strong F sound

[Sergio0Oo]

awesome interpretation!!! 

[bichocorral]

awesome bro excelent work could you do the tutorial cause i love this song and you did a awesome tutorial of give up the ghost.

Thanks

Long live to RADIOHEAD and theyre music.

[masicklazik]

Great Voice

[Geefunker]

Warren, I just had a revelation -- Asians rock at guitar. I'm pretty sure all of them do in some capacity, whether they know it or not.

[rmihalyi]

a million wows warren you are incredible!

[Twikki]

Could you get brian to do a tutorial on complex harmonies? Brilliant cover

[warrenmusic]

@Twikki Great idea.

[KingofFunk412]

Good god those guitars sound beautiful.

[azalikmar2]

great cover.. awesome falsetto and great harmonized guitars. probably one of your best covers. deserves a double like. keep up the greatness warren

[ElAullidoDeLaNada]

Man, your Radiohead covers are INCREDIBLE.

The bests in Youtube.

[cruzer619]

@ElAullidoDeLaNada you obviously haven't seen SoMusic15 cover of 'Lotus Flower'.That's by far the BEST.

[ElAullidoDeLaNada]

@cruzer619 WOW, i already saw it. Incredible cover too.

[Marcus201180]

@ElAullidoDeLaNada Yes! The bests in youtube

[cocacolacriminal]

Awesome, as always.

[16Dennis16]

It's briliant. THX Warren, you're fantastic. Greetings from Czech Republic :-)

[jellymiu]

Love this totally!!

[jeanforthewin]

this was amazing. so different to the actual song but so in line with king of limbs. a soundscape, great for my hangover right now

[crushedratio]

boy that outro was amazing.

wonderful cover!

[handik79]

brian's voicings are genius! even studying jazz does not automatically give you taste for voicings and those were perfect, they made the song so much more complete.... this to me is your best cover thus far.....

[warrenmusic]

@handik79 He is a brilliant musician, and we both share a common respect for complex harmonies. You'd probably like his original music, check it out (in the video description).

[briarjwumoelliu]

@handik79 thanks dude! me and warren always have a great time coming up with these arrangements. it's all about experimentation and exploration.

[neogarv]

haha, sounded like falsetto was troubling you for a bit there. well done.

[MistyLove7]

Your covers amaze me. This one leaves me speech less..

Wow, wow, wow wow..<3

[darkmouf]

Great job! Did you do both guitars by ear?

[warrenmusic]

@darkmouf Brian's guitar part is completely our creation. The main guitar part (until the outro) is based on the solo version from the Echoplex. Search for my tutorial on it.

[cescoissocoollike]

Will there be chords and such released for the second guitar part?

[warrenmusic]

@cescoissocoollike Sorry, a tab just wouldn't do much good. The next time we play it would be different, anyway. Check out our conversation about how music theory relates to creating parts/interpreting songs (in the video description). More to come, for sure.
