Thoroughly enjoyed that piece which did justice to my all time fave band. Well done, and the clip was just perfect icing on the cake !

Great arrangement of a great song. You really did it good justice.

I got a big chuckle out of the dialog. Music seems serious, but the captions/dialog pretty funny. Thanks for sharing. (For making sense of our karma I refer you to Wittgenstein.)

i'm glad you commented on the dialog. i agree the music is kind of melancholy, and the images are a little bizarre, so i tried to lighten it up with lighthearted karma talk that references the lyrics. very cool that you got it.

i struggle with wittgenstein. just this year i decided to read the tractatus, which has been sitting on my bookshelf for over 20 years. i put it back. i've always found him fascinating, though.

much appreciated.

from what i know about karma, it quite interesting and different things to different people (i.e. hindus and buddists).

MC1, great job! I'm not familiar with the original but I like your version. Very 'dark' sounding tune.

Do you play classical more than acoustic?

thanks, dru. the original was a big hit, you might recognize it if you heard it (rather than from my arrangement).

i mainly play the classical these days, but sometimes the steel string. i hardly ever pick up the electric guitar anymore, but i realy should.

Really nicely done. Funny, when isolated like that, the melody/chord sound almost baroque in spots.

Not usually a fan of pop songs arranged for classical, they often don't have enough meat in them, and/or the arrangers seem to feel they should really stick to the original arrangement very tightly. That worked.

I used to listen to radiohead in high school, but haven't in years. Nevertheless, if you brought out a book of radiohead songs for classical guitar, I'd buy it, provided it had TAB format as well.
