Suite for Solo Cello-Rushad Eggleston

[@griffinbooher292]

The amount of sound he gets out of one instrument is just insane.

[@elifschitz]

it is insane and amazing, but he is also using a pickup :D

[@eduardosalcedo6866]

And the kind or rosin

[@christopherpederson1021]

It's the cello. One of the greatest instruments ever

[@mr.astronuts3825]

@@elifschitz he has done this exact sweet acousticly

[@mikerusli9660]

Love this! All the unconventional playing techniques in service of the music.

[@junliangwang4554]

I'm a new fans from china, so admired his performance

[@vimtyr1181]

3rd movement is absolute killer

[@wmf1595]

I've loved his playing since his days with Crooked Still

[@ageofsagittarius]

Thinking outside the box, here. Like it.

[@danoliver291]

this guy performed at our school last week

[@nickdavis965]

Man that 4th movement is beautiful

[@ACoustaDC]

His instrument is beautifully worn with tons of character.

[@charlesaperkins]

Mad genius. Not sure if 'mad' or 'genius' prevails.

[@gutbucket260]

That hat is bad ass. I want one.

[@terroroftacos]

Now I feel the need to play the cello, eve though I should be doing a six-paged report >.>

[@johannesandersson9477]

I was always taught not to pluck on the same part of the strings as I would bow, but it seems to work pretty well for this guy.

[@brandonbecker8419]

It's more to protect the bow, bit if you beat the shit out of you bow anyway it doesn't matter so much.

[@GunnarSalyer]

It also gets rosin all over your fingers which can be very sticky and even painful

[@richarddrizzle]

@@GunnarSalyer I've got blisters on me fingers!!

[@Skizze37]

Well the man studied at Berkley on the first full-ride ever awarded to a string player- perhaps he knows something we don't.

[@toraritte-]

Love his similar style solo during a Tornado Rider concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmesnaivrs-or6c

[@louisebrunel5695]

what a genius !!!!

[@parsonste]

Rushad, thanks for this. I'm going to use it in my teaching studio to show the different techniques which are done so well here. I might not encourage too much of the pizzicato technique as I try to teach classically but it's cool to turn the cello on its side now and then and get a different perspective. Rock on!

[@tomfrantz]

Leaves Yo Yo Ma sitting there all "tharn and still" like a rabbit in the headlights. Genius.

[@outspokenfreespirit]

wowww amazing

[@jevlinmusic]

Some adventurous players "play around" - you turn it into music!

[@timmusician5060]

That was pretty f*cking awesome dude!

[@tonyworden6815]

I really want to find sheet music for this someday and learn to play it.

[@annabarton6323]

Same!

[@foobarbecue]

Yeah and I want to find the blueprints for a tree so I can build one

[@smokeydabear9073]

Sheet music Hahahahahah 😂

[@EnterEscape]

the fouth movement left me dumbfucked

[@Gemparkzz]

+Enter London The fourth movement is the bomb.. haha, get it?

[@gnomethy]

howtoplanaparty it's like a mix between dumbfounded, and mindfucked. dumbfucked

[@RicardoWiebe]

very cool, I love it.

[@AlamoCityCello]

Awesome!

[@alan4sure]

Funny and talented!

[@joshuaevans1922]

I know from his SoundCloud page that this is in an open tuning...but what tuning exactly? Anyone have any ideas?

[@AustinOzGraham]

Adding onto ElectricG's comment, he has his C and G strings tuned up to Db and Ab, and A and D strings tuned down to the same. In short, tuned Db Ab Db Ab going up.

[@Gemparkzz]

Apocalyptica is nothing compared to this maestro

[@noxwhisper]

no

[@Tim_Does_Stuff]

Gemparkzz Unless you are comparing technique and level of playing.

[@cycopl]

+Tim Scott Pretty sure this guy could play any Apocalyptica song with relative ease.

[@edeledeledel5490]

Wondrous!

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

Nice stuff. Feels good.

[@ericamclarty5360]

Amazing!

[@ChrisDjangoConcerts]

Is there sheet music for this?

[@annabarton6323]

If there is, send it my way too!(

[@warriormaiden9829]

I'd like a copy as well! XD

[@suebonilla8679]

Each applies!

[@MooseKnuckleXXX]

I love this. The 4th movement sounds like Lestat's beach scene from The Queen of the Damned.

[@sunshinedenney8695]

💛

[@TheOriginalEntz]

What happened to him ?!! It is like he stopped performing the year I discovered him .. nothing for years now. No yt channel either...

[@Zahller]

I find the best way to keep up with when he is playing is to follow him on Facebook

[@chuggajonncs]

Are his strings tuned (from bottom to top) E, A#, E, A#? I can't quite tell.

[@tjmoran295]

The Gamer Guy Open Db chord...Db Ab Db Ab going up!

[@chuggajonncs]

Awesome. thanks!

[@christyj24]

I need lessons! Can you help?? I am 46

[@jacktheripper9310]

Whats the name of the piece???

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

The cello's sound is unique because it's too deep for a violin and too high for a bass.

[@TheOriginalEntz]

it is just a sit-down viola :P and a viola is just a violin which is missing the 5th string :) . That was the all-in one instrument. A 5 string thing you held to your chest, some times small some times larger :)

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@@TheOriginalEntz violins only have 4 strings.

[@foobarbecue]

Does anyone know if there's a story behind FARK and JICK? I"ve been wondering for years.

[@jasonw4053]

It's "Jark" and "Jick." He discribes Jark as horse like, a belly laugh like harharhar. Jick he describes as weasel like, a hehehe laugh. So, uh, yeah...

[@mandosandradios]

isn't that "soldier's joy"?

[@jos1613]

Can someone tell me what is the song at 0:10 - 1:23 (sounds more like folk than classical music) 8) thank you

[@emoryhoelscher-hull7050]

the whole song is a suite he composed, that's the first movement

[@reynardwaltz9815]

jos1613 it sounds a lot like St. Anne's reel. I'm sure he drew influence from there, as he is a folk musician

[@robertadams4885]

You go Tiny Tim. Tip toethrough the tulips son.

[@kyleyesiahsupree]

Thrasher brought me here

[@angelomartinez9039]

Snow snake Be I’m u we got our food

[@AwesomeAngryBiker]

Unbelievably amazing music and the audience ruins it by doing what they are specifically asked not to do. NO CLAPPING,like a simple instruction

[@mahendarsparrow]

4th movement is more indian than arabian

[@Pete-z6e]

Don’t think so.

[@robertadams4885]

I give it to the guy who is laughing all the way to the bank. But God, my ears are pissed off at me for torturing them for the 3 minutes before I hit mute. Playing in an open tuning and everything sounds the same very quickly. But as I said , more power to a man who can make a Dr. Suess concept and make money from it . I'm jeolous I didnt think of it first.

[@jasonw4053]

Jesus, somebody's jealous of monster talent. Every movement sounds totally different, but all united by the cross tuning. In fact, it's called "cross tuned cello suite."

[@AlamoCityCello]

Awesome!

[@christyj24]

WOW!!
