'Rock 'n roll suicide', David Bowie (acoustic cover)

[cham240]

Excellent cover of the song. Very emotional like the original.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

@cham240

Thank you so much! Yes I tried to catch the emotion of the song, although the sound is quite poor ;-)

[killbreanne328]

Good job on a very difficult song. Thumbs and regards.

[rubin3364]

What are the chords for the second... Er... "half" of the song? Starting with "You're not alone".

I'm either gonna play this song or A Day in The Life as a closing song at my next gig, so I want to know...

[Ace4D]

@rubin3364 it goes from C to A, then for the key change it goes C#m, Abm, B, D#m, then repeats Bb, C#, B, D#

for the part after "ive had my share, ill help u with the pain" its goes between Bb and C#, then for the very end i play it Fm, C, F#, and end with C#

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi Jack!

Hey, thank you for this great honour you give; I thought it was a pretty emotional song and that fits with me :-)

Have a good time!

Xander

[macatron]

Hey, nice cover. Just wondering what 3 chords you're playing for "So natural religiously unkind"?

Best

[MrSniker]

That´s F to D9 then to G7. I like to use little F here.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi mr. Sniker, is a possibility too.....

Have a good time,

Xander

[Randnar]

This is the best version of Rock n Roll Suicide on youtube. Excellent vocals, really well done. Keep up the good work, you're very talented.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi Randnar,

Thank you for that great honour you give me...

Well it's an emotional song from a musician I've listened to from 1971. Maybe you can hear that. Bye,

Xander

[KarolusMagnus]

I love the unique intonation you put on some verses and the way you insert brief little pauses with the guitar to but emphasis on certain words. Maybe I'm off on this but it kind of reminds me of how Kurt Cobain might sing this song. I absolutley love this version. Rock on.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi KarolusMagnus,

Wow, these are some compliments together you gave me. Thanks you so much for responding in such a positive way. You made my day.

All the best to you,

Xander

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi Dustin, Thank you so much for responding. It took a while because I lost one of my best friends last saturday and we're still busy with arrangements. Thanks again and we'll keep in contact, ok? Bye,

Xander

[dustin11]

I just learned to play this and wanted to check out some other folk's arrangements, so I appreciate your guitar playing but the singing is what really impressed me. Good job, friend. Keep it up.

[googoobh]

the judgement is in ...... wonderful.

I have been in love with this song thirty plus years , and I enjoyed you zeal.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi googoobh,

Thank you very much for your response. Hey, we're the same age! Very nice to hear you love this song as long as I do :-). I'm proud with your positive comment. See you, my friend,

[googoobh]

Hey I calls 'em , likes I sees 'em.

I admit I am a wee jealous, I never played an instrument , but before I lost my voice I could do a not so bad bowie imitaion. [not that that's what your doing]

Keep enjoying playing , it's a good thing.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi again G,

That's sad, losing your voice.

Maybe it comes back one day....

Thanks a lot and best wishes to you!

Bye now, my friend.

[gvlive]

another bowie song i've overlooked. great job, man! the video wasn't streaming well, however. what settings did you use for compression?

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Thanks for responding gv. I don't know what settings I used. Sometimes it happens to me also. Then I think it's because of many people using the tube. I'm not that good on pc's, sorry.

[chacha1103]

You've been releasing videos like a madman! Yet another great choice for a song to cover!

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

:-)

HaHa! Thank you very much again! Bowie I like very much (I grew up with all those famous songs on radio and tv; lucky me!)

See you soon!

[difenbachia]

Muy Bueno!!! I discovered that your voice is similar to that of Greg Lake...You should do a song of ELP, as Lucky Man.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Thank you! I'll check it out...

See you,

XO

[bluesman5931]

Cool!

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Thank you! Yes, I put some 'fresh' Martin strings on it today. Plays like new.

See you,

Xander

[JohnJitte]

Heavy, Xander!

Fantastische opbouw, ook qua emotie.

Bedankt!!

John.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]
