Eric Roche - While my guitar gently weeps (Beatles cover)

[@videoseconds]

What a master, I thank the blessing to have been with him and so sad to realize again and again he is not with us... RIP brother.

[@gaothmhor]

Hey Eric you haven't been forgotten. You came into my mind today. Gail, Tralee.

[@van1976]

I still miss him saying "Hi, Eric here", when introducing his monthy CD column for Guitar Techniques magazine. Great transcriptions and music. --Van

[@van1976]

@@caramia6681 I was a Guitar Techniques subscriber back when and have a lot of his CD recordings that came w/ the magazine....I should post some of his songs, he does a great "My Heart Will Go On"...just have to dig them out...

[@DeanMorrison]

I miss Eric - a true inspiration to me. Sometimes I can feel his presence in the things I play, a small piece of immortality perhaps, but one that I treasure.

[@davidwalsh1585]

Eric taught me guitar in the 1990's. Convinced me to buy a Lowden by his beautiful playing. Only found recently he died he was a beautiful person who once in my sitting played his composition the 3rd field. I have not nor will not ever forget that. My love goes to his family David Walsh

[@paulrio46]

Eric was a lovely young man. I had the privilege of knowing him a little. My wife used to babysit his sister. Terrible shame to lose him so young.

[@rowmcpea9206]

I discovered eric and his music only a few month ago... and now I have to realize that he's gone. I hope his music will give him immortality...the best leave us too soon...(some teardrops and sadness).

[@voxbox30]

This is the first time I've seen Eric Roche play. I'm gobsmacked. (and I've seen Preston Reed and other slapping and tapping "virtuosos".) Passion is what its all about, every time.

[@drewdig]

Thanks for posting this, its the closest to the performance he gave at the 2004 workshop. It demonstrates the total passion he had for his playing.

[@JimmyQuango]

O my god. Maybe the best version i ever geard. I'm shocked. Sounds so BRILLIANT. Thanks for this wonderful peace of art!! Mr. Roche was a worldclass musican. Wow. Greetings and thanks for sharing this magic moment. Greetz, Jimmy

[@olivierperen1588]

Une superbe soirée ... ses interprétations étaient comparables à ses qualités humaines.

[@mickiminx]

He was the most relaxed laid back person you could ever meet. I knew him through his wife Candy as I used to work with her. His outlook on life was amazing & his music was wonderful. At least I can cherish his music through his albums now. He signed all my CD's in his own cheeky style, that is something i can treasure in years to come as a friend of his.

[@twotter1969]

A true gentleman and a gifted musician. RIP Eric.

[@richardockenden8669]

Pure class and a style all of his own Eric was such a great talent . God bless you Eric you are surely better than this planet deserves.

[@ianlarrimore8]

Reminds me of Michael Hedges' cover of this song. Also reminds of how I "discovered" Hedges after he had already died--I just found out about Roche today. Another great guitarist, and another great loss. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@vanessanfowler]

I didn't realise until today that he had died. I was looking through my old CDs the other day and there he is. Oh. I use to see him pre 2000 down at Pissaros. RIP. Will listen to your album later.

[@lichhuynh3571]

Omg, he shakes the guitar so cool, very impressive

[@SuperFishers]

never been so glued to just an instrumental, well i say JUST, this is alot more.

[@se7encureton]

He was such a fun and lovey man. I was lucky enough to ask him a few things and he played my Avalon😢

[@bigalwhittle]

The greatest! I went to a tribute concert in a little theatre in Sleaford Lincs - just after he died. His Dad was over from Ireland. I wish I hadn't been so English and self conscious and tried to say to his Dad -even cack handedly how much Eric's music had meant to me. So theres a lesson for you young 'uns - don't be stand offish. Express your feelings! Otherwise you regret it!

[@SusanGaglianoPisa]

Pure truth Mr. Whittle!!!!!!!!

[@GatoWales]

My mate was a student at ACM around 11-12 years ago and told me about Eric. I then got the pleasure of seeing him live at the Birmingham Music Live event and he blew me away. Massive influence on Newton Faulkner and the like and still sorely missed.

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

Gareth Owen I saw him at Music Live too... in 1995, I think. I was just walking round the hall and he was playing his Teen Spirit cover in front of one of the booths. I didn't even stop to listen as I had an older friend in tow, who didn't really get him. I've kicked myself ever since...

[@GatoWales]

Nick Williamson he was one of a kind alright, genius!

[@johngilbert6924]

I was taught by Eric at ACM in 2001, couldn't meet a nicer guy, then saw him live in a lcoal pub to where I lived at the time. Great loss to acoustic guitar circles.

[@williestephens539]

Such soul and control sound like vocals .Make you forget the guitar and enters the realm of pure music.Beautiful I think I.m gonna pick up my guitar and start practicing.....

[@brunono1970]

He was a fantastic guitar player.... R.I.P Eric

[@mainsblanches8793]

Love this!!...

[@rockmonkey1231]

Arranging at its best! Awesome chord at the end too :-)

[@orgminyak]

Thanks for this video!

[@abdelaliennasri]

musica del alma🎼🎶🎸🎵

[@Monimalu]

Superbe...Une de mes préférées..BRAVO!

[@TudorSmith]

I met him at the Acoustic Guitarist of the Year contest back in 2001. Never knew why I got to be a finalist (allowing an underdog to perform?) but he was one of the judges. I asked him how his parents thought listening to him learning in his bedroom. He laughed and said "My father used to shout upstairs - 'Turn those f*@king drums down'" lol!

[@e.dbadinerie2093]

Amazing

[@charliewhelan9488]

Does anyone know of any tab for his version? If you do, can you drop a link below. Thanks. RIP Eric.

[@TLOTTrike]

+Charlie Whelan Yup you can get it here ericroche.bandcamp.com/album/tab-book-eric-roche-tablature-collection-1 It is missing a few embellishments particularly on the the chord strumming section but it will get you most of the way

[@charliewhelan9488]

TLOT Trike Thanks so much!

[@sixwingsram]

very nice interpretation of a George Harrison classic

[@steveblacktunes]

Beautifully played! I actually have a cover of this song too as well as tons of videos extracting John Lennon's part

[@SAMMYminusSUMMERde]
