Radiohead - Bloom (Acoustic Cover by Dante Bâssaber)

Me playing "Bloom", from Radiohead's "The King of Limbs".

Its been a long time since my last cover video, so I wanted to throw in something special. This is an alternative arrangement of "Bloom" I composed for acoustic guitar. I actually composed it for two acoustic guitars, but since I don't have a musical partner right now, I had to synthesize it even more, to fit it on one guitar.

It was a deep experience, getting this cover done; I tried to mold all the possible elements of the song together. Im throwing in two guitar parts, the bass line, and additional arpeggios to keep the harmony flowing. I also tried to adapt the part where the brass section/strings comes in.
It has notable mistakes, in my defense I'll just say... its not easy to sing over this arrangement (I'm not a great singer either, but I try), haha.

Guitar is tuned to Drop D, to reach the low D, and use it as a pedal in some parts.

The song is in D minor, it actually develops essentially just on D- and G chords ( I - IV ).

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy.

are you lefthanded or righthanded? in other videos you play lefthanded and in others righthanded.

[dantebassz]

@MrJOHN2319 I'm both!

Nope, I wish, I'm right-handed; that would be my camera causing illusions (:

Great cover man! Really mindblowing! You're a good guitar player! ;) did you do the arrangement by yourself or did you use a tab or something? Can I have the tab or the chord? thanks :)

[dantebassz]

@thePolarPandaIsReal Thanks for that, appreciate it. I wrote the arrangement myself, but I just have handwritten drafts, haven't written a score or a tab, I might further on though.
