Sympathy for the devil - Acoustic cover

[thedevilcancry]

sounds awesome now where did i leave my guitar again.. time to wake up the neighbours

[talleyoussie]

thats a cajon and they kick ass.

[harks64]

what in the world is that the drummer is hitting??

[heidisb]

Well played lads. You sound and look the part. You would not look out of place supporting a big band. Keep it up.

[alfatones]

@heidisb Oh how I wish, There's still time, thanks !!

[alfatones]

Thanks Mr Jw ;-)

[MrJw1969]

I am definitely a fan,  Awesome Cover Version: *****

[elroytb]

Great....

[alfatones]

@elroytb Thanks !!

[Bostonian91]

My favourite is the dude 2nd from the right. He's pretty quiet, smiling at the drum fills, ripping out a peaceful guitar solo and just enjoying the music.

[Bostonian91]

This is music.

[mgpvii]

Now that's some good clean fun there!!!

[xTheRollingStonesx]

This Is Awesome!!

[alfatones]

@xTheRollingStonesx - Thanks !!

[awalk56]

Beautifully done. 

[alfatones]

@awalk56 Thanks !!

[f4C3pWnRx17]

Wow, that was a lot better than i thought it would be!

[humanpaul]

Really nice and awesome cover! Through the clean sound you guys made, I can feel the charm of acoustic deeply. Especially, I'm amazed at how great that percussion sounds! :D Keep up the good work.

[alfatones]

@humanpaul Thanks !!

[LeMecQuiCours]

Awesome job guys! I wish I had a crew like yours to jam with!

[TEHGROUND]

Amazing job, amazing voice too :)

[bughead3]

I thought this was pretty damn good...but guitar #2, although ripping a credible lead, shows such a lack of enthusiam for this project and life in general that it radiates through the screen and brings it all down into a heaping mess of nothingness. He should be banished to room without supper.. Other than that, real nice (and interesting percussion.)

[TheMysteryMachine11]

is that thing on top of the movie cases a recording device?

[juanluco35]

Very nice. Thanks.

[florentthibierge]

Fantastic !!!!!!

[TheFenderstrat13]

Thats awesome

[alfatones]

Thanks Ron a BIG Hiya to Texas :-)

[O2AFAC67]

Very, very well done! This one and the one at the Queen's Head. Thank you so much for sharing!

Best,

Ron from Texas

[IBIIGWOIRIM85]

Live the Rolling Stones! You guys did a fantastic job! Great vocals on a really good rendition. Love the drumrolls from the guy in back haha! Good job guys

[alfatones]

@IBIIGWOIRIM85 Yeah he's wicked top bloke !!

[KnokStudio]

@alfatones

"Wicked top bloke."

I am learning so many new words today.

[mrbeam123]

Doll !

[Foreverlearningmore]

What a great cover both musically and vocally!

Congrats!

[GreekNicko]

hell cool! good job boys :)

[TimoFalk87]

reallyreallyreallyreallygood!!­!!

[TodayImTJ]

i understand where the top comments are coming from, but if you have ever listened to the Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out album, this acoustic version is very similar to the live version. I believe these guys did an absolutely fine cover and deserve some respect for it.

[alfatones]

@TodayImTJ - Many thanks for that !!

[varronigiuliano]

my name is giuliano from italy modena,bravoooooooooooooooo.!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alfatones]

@varronigiuliano Thanks much love going out to Italy ;-)

[arkonis3]

@alfatones You guys are good , keep up the good work !

[jdvcreative]

That was awesome! Good job.

[malkyguitar]

guitar fest............

[DylanMan6]

Was this all live recorded?

[alfatones]

@DylanMan6 Certinally was, What you saw was what took place at the time no dubbing lips sycning etc ... Purely live folks !!!!

[alfatones]

@DylanMan6 Yes it was recorded as you are watching it on the video using a portable digital recorder then we synced the recording & video together afterwards ;-)

[panupeltonen]

Really a good one! That's something like the Stones were originally doing with this song, but faster. Cheers!

[alfatones]

@panupeltonen Thanks mate :-)

[chrislade33]

@panupeltonen mieux que l'original !

[alfatones]

@chrislade33 - Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires genre

[Kryptsanies]

It's great but different. Sounds a little too happy I don't know if that makes sense. Like Vampire Weekendish.

[Ktostam252]

I listen to it, and I think I want to play it with you xD. great cover.

[skatasterfi]

Yup the next 3:32 were great! I just don't understand who those drums work??? First I thought it was just a mini fridge or some shit but then he started drumming?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[alfatones]

@skatasterfi Its called a cajon - Google it ;-)

[mccastelo]

@alfatones Is there a drum track going in the background as well?

[skatasterfi]

Damn, I haven't even listened yet and I can tell that this is gonna be the best cover of this song ever! And not only based on the comments which helped my come to this conclusion, but the fact that I got ten seconds into it and could barely tell the difference other then when Jagger goes, "OW!" GREAT cover dude and I can't wait to see the next four minutes and thirty two seconds of it!!!

[leninprov]

I love it, great version. I listen every day.

Felicidades desde España

[deadlyoneable]

Im sorry but you guys lost some of the "power" of this song. Stones should never be hippy-ized.

[alfatones]

@deadlyoneable I would hardly sum it up as that, But you are welcome to your own opinion i guess even though its far off the mark !!

[SantasEvilHelper]

@alfatones He just chose the wrong word. It sounds too poppy. Or like a worship song

[alfatones]

@SantasEvilHelper @SantasEvilHelper Well your welcome to your opinion & we will have to agree to disagree on that one !!! For all the likes and decent comments we have had, they far outweigh those two comments by far.

[mp18508]

@alfatones Your never going to truly male a stones fan happy I thought these guys were a blast to listen too, and watch.

[mp18508]

@alfatones Your never going to truly make a stones fan happy I thought these guys were a blast to listen too, and watch.

[holydamn5]

This song is not supposed to sound so care free or light hearted, it's supposed to tell of the evils of man and how every man is the devil, and give you chills when you hear those bongos.

[Warender7]

AWESOME dudes! That was clear and clean!

You inspired me, I'm gonna learn to play this one!

Cheers from France!

[alfatones]

@Warender7 Cool, Do it !!!

[alfatones]

@1967December1967 Many thanks for your comments a personal thanks for the comment on my bass playing & yes Lee is awsome :-)

[kostadisable]

guys you are great!!we played this song just like you in a festival!!thank u veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much!!we are just 14 years old and we can't play like rolling stones!!again THANKSSS!:D

[alfatones]

@kostadisable Glad you were inspired by this, Thanks !!

[larrygolad]

very nice execution!

[alfatones]

@larrygolad Many thanks !! :-)

[jewings22]

Yeah your right it's actually like nothing like country now I think of it but you learn something new everyday. I think you should do a cover of gimme shelter and I can't get no satisfaction if possible. Think it would sound good in this style. Plus maybe gotta get through this by Daniel bedingfield and girlfriend by nsync. All vocally driven and would be class in your style. Do it!!!

[alfatones]

@jewings22 Yeah a bit difficult as were not together anymore i much regret, But some day i hope in the future as we have had so many hits on here & likes etc ... ITS a real shame.

[EMIUP]

great drum ¡¡¡

[alfatones]

@EMIUP Yeah i agree the guy does amazing things on that cajon :-)

[jewings22]

Ahwww that was so good. A classic rock song in a country style. Absolutely loved it! Has made my night finding this one.

[alfatones]

@jewings22 Thanks for the compliment although i wouldnt of likened it to country myself personally !!

[Glow051222]

Wow! Absolutely amazing job :D I can barely believe how great this is

[alfatones]

@Glow051222 Your too kind you dont know had good it was to play, Like the way the guy doing the lead bit on the sofa is playing it so cool ;-)

[Glow051222]

@alfatones Haha :P Well, keep up the great work :D

[blendincoffee]

Wow! That is sooooo good!

[alfatones]

@blendincoffee - Thanks !! :-)

[alfatones]

Thanks Howard, Sounds like your passionate about it anyway good stuff mate :-)

[Howardmoon87]

Great stuff lads!!! fucking love it

[alfatones]

Thanks stealthbopper i pride myself on trying to do some nice bass lines, The box thing is a Cajon & the sound really suits the acoustic thing !!

[stealthbopper]

Great version and and love the living room setting!

Very tight, love the acoustic bass, nice vocals and excellent box skills - who needs drums when you can do that sort of thing with a (presumably special) box!

[Guitarman0]

Really good cover! I love the stack of videos holding the mic up ;)

[Devidpaz]

Very Good!!

[thetouchablegod]

Very well done guys! I love it!

[MattTreck]

Awesome job guys.

Also the guy on the box is amazing.

[IAmThatUnfamousGuy]

This is quite simply... Amazing :)

[alfatones]

@IAmThatUnfamousGuy Thanks !!!

[Snowshowman]

Great cover! Kudos to you all......especially boxman!!

[alfatones]

@Snowshowman Thanks !!

[frankrinus]

Hi, here is Frank from the Netherlands. I have just heard your version from "sympathy". This is really the best version, best sound & rythm. You made my day boys !!! Thanks for that. ;-)

[alfatones]

@frankrinus Hi Frank, Thanks glad you like it nice to know our music has reached the Netherlands, I only hope the line up reunite's some time soon !!! :-)

[disparate1980]

great job guys

are you using suspended chords for the rythmic? sounds like there's something i dont do when i play this song

[alexed1223]

Awesome version guys. You guys got the tabs for this song lying around? I'd love to have it, since this is the best acoustic version I've found here till now. I presume it's normal tuning....

Cheers and happy new year!

[alfatones]

@alexed1223 Well thanks for the compliment we didnt follow any tabs, Im sure if you google it you will find a suitable version. Yes it is standard tuning, have yourself a good new year too !!!

[prtzy]

i've actually converted it into mp3 .

[stevebyl88]

[XxPoizonisskiszxX]

[toasty84]

@damoniumnoc Cheers dude !!!

[RealityofThings]

Just learnt and added this song to my solo acoustic rep. So, as you do, have been scanning the tube for sweet versions and here i am....... 30 covers of this song later yours is one of the coolest, arrangement wise and all. Nice playing. Cheers from South Australia. Will subscribe now.

[MrLs67]

Cheers bud, appreciate the comment and glad you liked it. Only the first time we had played this on this clip and turned out quite nicely both structure and sound wise using a digital zoom recorder.

[alfatones]

@RealityofThings Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks hope all goes well for you.Nice to know weve reached OZ !! :)

[blendincoffee1]

A fantastic acoustic sit-down session!

[platinumfingers1983]

good stuff lads

[alfatones]

Gracias !!! disfrutar de la música, Think thats right ??

[kampertraper]

Bonita bonita version enhorabuena

[alfatones]

Thanks for the comments guy's, The drum pad thing is a Cajon - Meaning in spanish "box" . Yeah its a great sound !!

[electricragtime]

@alfatones cajon in espanol is actually drawer.....but I guess a drawer is a box??//

[electricragtime]

@alfatones but box or drawer its an excellent cover....

[fryg63]

Nice job! What is that drum pad thing?

[MrLs67]

Hi, cheers for the comment. It's called a Cajon. Basically a wooden box with some snare wires at the top. There are lots of different ones out there with different snare set ups etc. There should be some videos on my page. This one cost £70 but you can get them for a lot more.

[lucasmest]

on the measure! nice style, nice catch.

[MrLs67]

Cheers bud. Thanks.

[alfatones]

Thanks for the compliment, glad you enjoyed it !!

[cristinuuh]

you guys are amazing!

one of my favorite songs!

[MrLs67]

Why thanks, we like it too. Only the first time we had played it together so not bad for a first attempt I guess.

[cristinuuh]

first attempt? wow thats really impressive!

hopefully you can make more covers!

[MrLs67]

Don't think my last reply went so here goes again. Thankyou. We have quite a few covers, just added a new member to the band so all learning new chords etc. etc.which is why some may be a little rusty sounding. Thanks for making one of our tunes a favourite of yours, happy listening!

[MrLs67]

Forgot to mention we have just added another video. The band's name is Alfatones and you can hear more on **space (for some reason it would not let me post if i put in a complete link or mention the name??) it's /alfatones (if that is a clue) thanks again.

[MrLs67]

Can't get enough of this track!! Nice one lads.
