I got myself a cello this holiday season and for some reason thought "Umbrella" might make a nice inaugural video. Cello has that nice "chesty" tone that sounds kinda like a person moaning.

The end result is both romantic and sorrowful. I threw in a time lapse shot of the sun setting (overcast and all) and the song felt far more sad than I remember it to be. Hope you guys like it.

Please subscribe and I'll add more videos! I take requests as well! And thanks for your heartfelt comments. You guys rock!

Happy 2008!

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

  • @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.

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

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

  • @Deion6000 you wrote faggot wrong...

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

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

  • 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.

  • @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........

  • 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
