That is my favorite version of that song my friend. Its a toss up between you and Mick. No kidding its that good!! Still listen to it after a year. Your awesome!
@sportinmorton i only sing if im drunk and by myself! lol. I dont play the guitar . but if i did i would hope it could sound that good. I really enloy your version of that song so beings how we all know my state of mind... I may just sing along. thx.
@sportinmorton No dude I only sing if Im alone or really drunk. lol. I only wish I could play a guitar that well. the best version thank you for putting it up.
Man, the Stones got nothing on you. Fantastic job on this tune. Was always one of my favorites, and not only did you do it justice... you went way beyond that. GREAT JOB.
Nice rendition of a really old song. I think you picked it out very well, just like Keith. I always thought this was the stones answer to Yesterday by the beatles, but I hated the strings in both songs.
I love this song. It brings back special memories of a Christmas Eve many years ago with a very special boyfriend. We eventually brole up but our friendship moved onto another level and we have always maintained our friendship and even to this day we keep in touch. As a matter of fact he will be visiting us next week. When I met my husband, 36 years ago, he learned that Tommy and I were best of friends and now they too are good friends and my sons and grandchildren know and love him too.
I've played this song hundreds of times on a my six string. It's such a masterpiece. So delicate and powerfull at the same time. As Tears Go By taught me a lot about the songwriting level of Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. These guys were so young when they wrote this song. It's amazing. Especially if your consider the lyrics. You my friend have captured the essence of this song. I got goosebumps while listening. You are right. I play it exactly the same, but it sounds better on a 12 string!
wha tis that language down there I know some kind of asian. also he is really good. im starting to learn this song and I hope I can eventually play it this well. but he is still a much better singer then me
Thanks all for listening and for the kind words! My 12-string is a cheapie I picked up at a pawn shop for $70. Sounds like it was worth the investment :)
Love that. I just thought today I should learn to play this song, and now I've got some inspiration. My version won't be anywhere near as good as yours though. You make it look really easy.
When i saw your face the first time, i said "no way this bad boy harley riding looking kind of guy going to sing this song the right way" i guess i was wrong, keep up the good work buddy.
You're a brilliant musician, i love this song and it's one of my favourites. Probably i like your cover more than the original version from Mick and Keith^^. Don't let your talent gone and i hope you continue playing guitar for years!.
It's a lute-guitar, (shaped like a lute, tuned like a guitar.) It was made in Germany by Framus. It's a little awkward to play but it's worth it for the visual effect .
I think youre a music monster...I know music.. thanks for sharing.....please , we beg you to post more songs.....take care and keep on keeping on....try some Bob Dylan balads....you would be a hit ....
