Scarlet Begonias (DeadCoversProject) - Mike Masse

[janaconrad3]

This one is my favorite. Always has been. Your voice is perfect for it.

[jmgeniesse]

love your version... maybe even better than the original. would love to have some tabs for your version of this and sugar magnolia (i'm not quite good enough to work it by just watching the video)

[KyleGuitarable]

Keep them coming Mike! I learn them as you upload them, you're like my online guitar teacher.

[ChronoBuss]

0:12 Run and sit woman, Mike's starting

[jjhatnm]

Great tune and well covered!

[MRBITCHEStf2]

Wind in the willow playing team fort 2? Did you just make an amazing song even better?

[mikemassedotcom]

@MRBITCHEStf2 If I said that, it wasn't intentional! I'm more of a CoD guy, myself. ;)

[dazzlerweb]

nice



[NSboards22]

Best Grateful Dead cover i've herd to this date!

[LoadedStrings]

wow amazing thats all i have to say

[jgorm21221]

very well done sir. also you look dead on the comedian Louis C.K.

[jimmy2sticks]

Dude, I'll just come out and say it -- Yours are some of the best damn covers (and I watch a lot of them) I've seen on Youtube. You've got a great sound with the guitar and your vocals are just top notch. Phenomenal. This has always been one of my favorite Dead tunes, and you did it more than justice. Made my day.

[bluebeag]

Nicely done

[gunguolf]

This is awesome. I love this song and you made justice. Great job

[bussawakalaka]

louis ck anyone? anyone?

[JIBTER]

sublime version?

[Slohand1993]

@JIBTER lol this is scarlet begonias if sublime got hold of it and told ian anderson to grab a mic. lol

[bongCrescendo]

Excellent. Great guitarists with small voices are all over youtube. I find it so refreshing to hear this one sung by someone who also possesses a really great voice. Keep improving on the guitar, it's not bad at all, but there is so much you can do.

[HTBD2525]

Mr. Masse... sir you inspire meeee!! :) buut i was curious if you could post or even delight us with a lesson on this piece?? imm verry intrested! haha good day sir.

peace love n prosper

[spacefreely]

excellent job on a grateful dead classic. keep on rockin.

[braducsb2]

I love it - "We sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstasy, we sold nitrous, acid, heroin and PCP and now I hear the police coming after me." Interesting you got away singing that song in the Mormon capital of the world. Good shit dude - you rock - I'm a fan!

[mikemassedotcom]

@braducsb2 Yeah, you know those words weren't in the original Dead version, right? But I'm glad you liked my version, thanks!

[Spaitin]

@braducsb2 hey man... mormons got nothing against the greatful dead. im a life long LDS man. and this is probly my favorite dead song.

[NateHail]

@braducsb2 Meh, Salt Lake City is like the Las Vegas of Utah. Haha. Provo is the Mormon Capital.

[Dignon82]

[otttowood]

do you play in SLC a lot? i just moved to Provo about 40 minutes south. I'd love to come check out a gig for real. Your cover of Black Peter is NAILED to the wall.

[fridayniteribs]

My fave Dead tune. Nice job!!! My foot was tapping...

[4foot91]

Good Job

[ultragalaxydeath]

It was good but i think you're over singing the song a little bit

[atjr16]

he's doing it his own way. Everytime the dead played it, it always had that different kick to it. Leave the guy alone, this is great!

[sublimy99]

calm down there Simon, he sang it perfect.

[notesandjokes]

where do i get your cd, damn that was tight

[mikemassedotcom]

[dirge9]

Nice arrangement. I like how you do the fills after each verse.

[factory63]

[Sminman86]

Holy shit... that was good, nice groove.

[mmmaaaxxx13]

That was "Dead" on...

[timrulestheearth]

You have an incredible voice, mike. This song is hard to play if you dont have the right voice for it.

[sneakypower]

Super job, Mike. I'm pleased to have stumbled on such a pretty version of the song.  Well done!

[klapchek]

One of my favorite Dead songs. Mike, you nailed it... again.

[thastunna518]
