Gareth Pearson is a 20 year old finger style guitarist from Cwmbran, South Wales (UK), and he has receiving a respectable amount of attention for his wonderful arrangement of MGMT’s “Time To Pretend.” And now he’s back with another stunning arrangement. This time his subject is as dramatic as it is melancholy — Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android.”

His “Paranoid Android” arrangement is nothing short of breathtaking. This is the kind of thing I’d want to watch and listen to on a brisk summer night in a city of lights. It’s not something I am likely to experience this summer, and for this reason, I am grateful that I can upload this arrangement onto my iPod and listen to it at my convenience. I suggest you do the same. Listen to Gareth Pearson’s arrangement here
