    Default My Desperado cello cover

    Hi from Finland,

    I´m new here, and i would like to introduce myself with this cover i made.

    I´m a 26-yo rock-cellist and cello teacher from Finland, Northern Europe, and i always wanted to do The Eagles cover. So i did Desperado cello cover, as a tribute to this great band that changed my life in the spring of 1997, when i saw Hell Freezes Over on TV: I wanted to become a musician. so thank you Eagles.

    Please view the video here:

    Thanks for listening.

    btw. I am working on funk-cello cover of Henley´s "All She Wants To Do Is Dance", so there are coming more Eagles-related videos at my channel in the future.

    Wow Elias--that is beautiful! Would love to hear more, even from other artists. What other rock songs do you do?

    Welcome, I hope we hear more from you.

    Elias - have you thought about Take It to the Limit? That's my favorite Eagles song and I think it would be very interesting to hear it arranged for a single cello.
