Tumbling Dice The Rolling Stones cover

[LonnieGinn]

I'm a new subscriber. Glad I found your videos. They are all great!!! Thanks for all the hard work. This is especially a great cover of "Tumblin Dice" (even without Mick). I've searched your web site looking for the other guitar part on this over.Is it available as a video or even just a seperate audio track? Is on any or your lesson DVD's? Thanks.. Keep the videos coming...

[klepzo]

I'm a Stones fan and this is one of my fav songs.

Very good, very good indeed.

[nanaryana]

I LIKE IT ...GOOD JOB ND ROLLING STONE

[bobplaw1]

Next to Keith Richards, you are the best lead/rhythm guitarist I have ever heard, and in my 64 years I have heard most! I am an intermediate level guitarist. I keep a stratocaster tuned to Open G and a telecaster tuned to Open E, and both within each reach. I love playing in Open G and Open E. Keep up the excellent work!

[Tayplupe]

Thanks for posting this.

[14freebooter]

Great job! Thanks for posting.

[rcflybry]

Got some good taste in music bro! They don't make 'em like this anymore! Long Live Keith! You captured it! Open G is Key! Thanks for sharing!!

[1111eds]

Thanks for posting this, your videos are so great. I was wondering if you could post a video of the "lead guitar" part for Tumbling Dices. That would be grand to see the fill parts and the solo. cheers

[agrg456]

i love this cover and it is great well done. i am trying to learn it personally, can play the rhythm and some riffs but havin trouble with some parts can i get the tab if you have?

[shango02005]

Sir, you absolutely ROCK!! I wish you knew just how much your videos have helped me. One of these days I'll upload a video of my own and send it your way. Just to show my appreciation. Thank you!

[diplomatiks]

you are an absolutely amazing guitar player, you actually inspired me to pick the gitty back up and open tune it to G, thx

[radairman33]

Great work man, as you are playing a Tele any thoughts on the 60th Ann. Tele's?

[psx1337]

i only recently started listening to this band much at all - interesting how they sort of blend the rhythm and lead guitar parts so well, sometimes blurring the line between the two

[tripahosgor]

f***ing great sound !

nice cover

[rohitmango]

DAM RIGHT I LOVE THE RIFF OF THE LAST 1 N HALF MINS!!

[bigbeemax]

Simply the best ! Hey Sam where can I get your lessons? I can't seem to find them anymore ...... Kind regards.

[JeanPaul1964]

great!!

[randallissimo]

Great stuff. I am playing the same guitar with rosewood board. '62 reissue?

[GibsonMR8]

Keith and Malcolm Young are top notch rhythm players

[fudgekirk]

hey twangy-whats happened to the tutorial vids?-they are the best on here

[hotpoker123]

Thanks for sharing. I put a link of this videon on my blog which is called eyeballbrain-its about trying to stay cool in the suburbs as a dad. I hope you like it, and perhaps will subscribe to it!

[dsxmondo]

Really nice. Wondering if you'd allow iPhone playback. Thx.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@dsxmondo - I didn't know that was an option - done.

[Ethan1320]

@MyTwangyGuitar This is really terrific, man, I appreciate it.

[superlou1s]

Keith is easily one of the greatest rhythm players of all time. He's what makes the stones so goaddamn great.

[outlawyer45]

Twangy, thanks for these great videos. I can only imagine having these back when I was just starting playing.

That Tele sounds as good as it looks, which is awesome.

Thanks again.

[siberianspring]

Nice collection of vids. Do you do any Thorogood? Maybe a little "Who Do You Love"?

[katrocentos]

great song!!!

[nickyatestheblaze]

nice cover! diggin' that Tele' as well

[misterpang2]

fabulous !!!!

[llilibel03]

Hey Twangy, I've been really enjoying watching all you covers. You really get them right. I wish you'd post up vids of the leads as well.

[Marquiffe]

Great technique--thanks

[Campbell88guitar]

nice cover man! I love it, just this pure guitar ah man!

What sound effects are added to give it that sound?

Is it generally the same for most of their songs?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@Campbell88guitar - I added a touch of chorus. Most of the Stones' sound is a slightly over-driven guitar. Absolutely amazing tone from them without fail. I've rarely heard bad tone from any of them although I much prefer Keith's tone to Ron Wood's somewhat generic tone.

[Campbell88guitar]

@MyTwangyGuitar Ah alright, thanks! that sound really is great!

[willievega]

G r oo v in !

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much for the lick in the chorus. I never could get it quite right, but you've got it nailed.

[buzzfuzz146]

Another great job on a classic. How would you rank Richards in his ability?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@buzzfuzz146 - He has no equal.

[PatricknAdam]

@MyTwangyGuitar The Best Answer I have ever Heard !

[omeletpants]

@MyTwangyGuitar Too bad Richards can't duplicate this live. Great in a studio though

[FalconRockGraphics]

If I played this well I'd never leave the house

[FatTonyCologino]

clicked cuz of the tele stayed cuz of the quality 

[Harryn58]

Love it Twangy!

[carjagger]

nice.

[moeyokenta1967]

Very Exiting from tokyo now

[Unidente02]

Nice stuff again. Without stating that I am even 1/4 as adept as you are, I know that playing rock guitar is much more than knowing the tuning and the chords. It's technique. Because I play by ear, for me it is a lot of trial and error, but eventually, it pays off in dividends and enjoyment. This would go to elliotnichols1's question as well.

[eyedoc1956]

I hope this video stays up for a very long time. It's a great resource.

[joimpanne]

yes: keith is the greatest guitarist. Thank you

[LESWILDBILL1]

thanks for the perfect lesson. great open 'g' tuning. can you show me how to do it .

[creamyuutyan]

very nice

[derfunkhaus]

Aside from the spot-on playing your vid has a great camera angle and is well lit. Very helpful! Keep 'em coming!

[tubesteakbooky]

Hey man thanks!

[elliotnichols1]

One thing you've totally nailed that I've never seen anyone else capture is Kieth's unique comping technique (in both this and the Honkey Tonk Women choruses). I can't figure it out for the life of me! Could you explain a little bit on how it's done please?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@elliotnichols1 - I really wouldn't know how to put it into words. I pick all this stuff by ear; I've had no training of any kind. Both of the hands are constantly working and there's A LOT of muting going on by both hands.

[nwilson59]

your capo's crooked lol very nice cover helped me out a bunch dude!

[RUfootball07]

how can i achieve such a great tone with a Fender MIM Strat and a Fender BLues Deluxe?

[RUfootball07]

how do you get that awesome tone man?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@RUfootball07 - Line 6 Gearbox Gold!

[bigbeemax]

Awesome........in every recording Sam. There isnt a better teacher on here. Keep up the good work........More lessons please !!!!!

[hockeycuber101]

awesome cover

[RStepo221]

great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1­

[jocam32]

lets do a version together ...u def gots the music down and i gots the vocals!!

[macdaddylorenzo]

Is there a phaser in this sound?

Thanks!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@macdaddylorenzo - It's a touch of chorus.

[macdaddylorenzo]

@MyTwangyGuitar Cool! Thanks a lot!!

[tjfoxx]

@MyTwangyGuitar

Yes! I tried that and it nails it.

[zulujosp]

Great to see you're back up Sam. Don't know what happened but I won't hesitate to save of my favs. On the subject, wasn't there a lesson on Tumbling Dice?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@zulujosp - I've never done a lesson for this song. There are only a few parts and can be picked up very easily by watching. The guitar is in open G tuning with a capo on the fourth fret.

[electrolinks]

Dude, you are what youtube was invented for. Thanks.

[Pissankle]

Is that Tele custom? I love it, I ain't ever seen one like it before (the orange/tortoiseshell). The cover is unbelievably good, way to go!

[lbluesey]

wonderful playing, gorgeous tele, sometimes i just want to exchange my strat for one since im always broke!

[Billyray195159]

Sam,Your Pretty Damn Good & I Think I Seen Once Where You Don't Take Request but Sam You Have to Do Red House from Jimi.Sam You Would be One of the Few that Would Lay it Down Like Jimi & Not Add or Take Away Anything.If You Don't Want to I Understand.I've Picked up Alot of Your Song's & Most People Would Have to be Playing Awhile to Follow.I Got It Sam,Keepin Comin.Thank's Again.Billy Ray.

[musicfunkydude]

Got it mate,been playing a long time but never used open tunings,its a breath of fresh air, thanx again, George.

[musicfunkydude]

absolutely superb, not only a great lesson but great tight playing, record recording tight!! thanx a lot mate, where would one find the brilliant backing track for this anyone? cheers George from Scotland

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@musicfunkydude - The backing track for this can be found at 'guitarbackingtrack dot (com).

[coreyagraph]

so much fun watching this.......amazing

[MrCityDave]

are the chord positions the same as most keith richards songs like start me up and brown sugar?

let me no

[titi64230]

i like your stones video, so thank you. i like to play like keith with open g , open d, i am not a great guitarist but i learn and like you say, this songs are so fun to play. i have a question for you, what is the best tele bridge pickup for sounding ( twangy ) like you and keith, is it the 52 RI, the texas special or the nocasters? i know that the most important is the player and the amp but i want to buy a tele for playing keith songs ( and jess ed davis 's to ) so what pickups is the best?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@titi64230 - I won't recommend; there is no 'best' or there would only be one pickup manufactured. I will only tell you that I prefer Lindy Fralin pickups.

[bobmon54]

This is as good as I've seen on you tube- nice job and that's a sweet ax- bonus points for good tone and taste!

[zebulonen]

sehr gut long live rolling stones

[kolbpilot]

A little off topic, but, what happened to 'Midnight Rambler? I liked that one. At first I saw it was bumped by Betty Paige, but now they're both gone. ps, never got exposed to Betty 'till my later years, but I agree, she's hot.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@kolbpilot - When I uploaded it, it was approved by UMG and had advertising. The claim and advertsing have been removed. That could be trouble. I removed it. I still haven't received any copyright warnings.

[darthpayback]

@MyTwangyGuitar - Thats a shame, that is my fav Stones song and you played it so well. Here's hoping you can get it back up soon!

[HendrixSpirit]

I'm looking all arround for tabs or anything about the Ronnie Woods guitars.

¿Do you think you could help me on that? I've been just invited to play on a Stones Tribute, I'm a great guitarrist, but don't have the time to get all by ear as my life is pretty busy at the moment...

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@HendrixSpirit - You're a self-proclaimed great guitarist? A "great" guitarist would not proclaim themselves as being great or require tabs. Do you get the impression I have a lot of time on my hands? We're all busy, man...

[chrismarshall1950]

@MyTwangyGuitar haha i agree with you. if HendrixSpirit is a "great guitarist" he would be able to learn by ear and wouldn't be cocky

[rifferlou]

@MyTwangyGuitar  i hear that, how presumptious!!!!

[WadeMacKinnon]

@HendrixSpirit

Mick taylor era song dude

[czeslaw1955]

Can you get TAB to this song??

The same like in johnny b. goode??

"Sorry my English is bad"

[diddymuck]

xlnt! ya make it look so easy but gad its sounds like its coming from the lads themselves!

[pentatonicking]

heys u dont seem to anser many questions, but where do uget the backing tracks from?? can ANYONE answer this?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@pentatonicking - I get my backing tracks from various sources. You can get this one at guitarbackingtrackdotxxx.

[Porchduck]

Re below: "Chandler"...(Love that binding!)

Also to "TheWrate" below: If you think you're gonna get that "chunk" sound that's comin out of that magical red guitar, I'm afraid you've got a very long search ahead of you.

[Porchduck]

Hey Twangy! I'm learnin this (from your vid) in std tuning just out of stubbornness! I've got my G&L S500 all tuned to open G (from your Honky Tonk vid) sittin in the case but too lazy to go dig it out! Playin my new Squier CV '50s and I love it. They're really quite good (but no match for your Chadwick & Fralins). This is another excellent lesson!

[TheWrate]

Beautifully done, is there any chance you would do a lesson on this song? I can't seem to get the rhythm & fretting to sound as "chunky" as you.

Love all your videos, they have great production values; a/v is clear, no distractions; the black shirt in front of a black backdrop is brilliant!

Cheers,

David

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@TheWrate - I won't do a lesson on this, not enough going on. Practice I guess, it's pretty easy. Glad you like the videos.

[juppl]

Very nice!

[jaffabend]

Beautifully done and nicely presented for us to try for ourselves. Thnx.

[yenko13]

Bad azz my man best cover of this song yet on the net and that aint to shabby to say the least if not less,

More songs please I am a fan and a 1/2

[RockStarSoul]

Fucking sweet, dude! 5 stars!

[EddieBear631]

I absolutely love this video as it is extremely accurate. But isn't the tempo a tad fast in comparison to the Stones' recording? :)

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@EddieBear631- Could be. I played along with a backing track and didn't alter the tempo.

[SonicYouth5469]

I love singing along to the Stones

[lauriejlin]

Really excellent job...don't worry about the vocals , I can hear Mick as it is playing!!

[MinivanMegafun100]

Wow, so good! I learn visually so your videos have been excellent in helping me figure out the parts I'm missing for some of these Stones songs.

Don't suppose you'd be interested in doing one for Can't You Hear Me Knocking?

[sunphuk]

Cool MTG

[richjerk1]

An incredible work of art. Thank You.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@richjerk1 - I'm not sure I would characterize this as such but I apperciate the comment.

[sunphuk]

BTW, is that an actual "Orange" telecaster or a Red one?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@sunphuk - It's an orange parts guitar.

[sunphuk]

Wow, this is great,

Any chance you know how to play "Let it Loose"

from Exile on Main st.???

Ive been trying to figure it out now for a month

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@sunphuk - I don't know it but have wanted to learn it. Let me see what I can do. If I get swing it, I'll post a quick vid. No promises.

[elalbitojeje]

bravo bravo bravo bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exelente amigo muy buen cover el mejor que vi hasta ahora te felicito.  saludos desde argentina espero que algun dia me salga tan bien como a vos

[rchwha1]

I click on this clip while im working just for another quick listen, i noticed that your right hand is very consistent always hitting the correct strings with accuracy, do you have any tips on that ?

Rich

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@rchwha1- I can rememebr asking myself the same thing when I was 18 and last weekend when I did my "Midnight Rambler" cover - I still don't know. Practice I guess. Oh, one thing I caught myself doing was feeling the strings with the tips of my fingers occassionally. When i watch these videos back, there's so much I do without being aware of it. You can download this backing track from guitarbackingtrackXXX

[rchwha1]

This sound just grabs you man, it is imposssible to say different

Rich

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@rchwha1 - I really like this as well. Thanks!

[TheBlameworthy]

When you tuned to 'G' did you have to raise the action ? When I tune my Strat to G the action is too low and I get fret buzz.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

No, I didn't raise the action.

[hannababalon]

man, what I great looking guitar...is she light or does she weigh a little? thanks for posting, love your playing...

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Feather weight, it is chambered..

[GoBlueGeetar]

Textbook. I thought my take was decent but you've put it to shame. Keep on rocking!

[rmorte62]

It sounds so easy, but it;'s not and you have to have the right funky feel to make it sound right...good job.

[rockitmn]

You could be my brother! or long lost twin....you've got all my favs covered when it comes to R&R. Stones,CCR, Chuck Berry. Thanks so much man!! Great stuff!!! and played with mucho hard won mojo!!!!! your rythm playing kicks azz!!!!

[charisma55]

Hey man.....no sweat listening to that riff for a couple of minutes......I been listening to it for the last 35 years and still love it!!...again, my hat is off to you.......well done.

[lizandvk]

Great work! I love that riff!

[fly5mike]

where do u get your backing tracks?

[Urankar3]

Great song&great open G tune5*****I like it,man!!

[Herefortheguitar]

great stuff man.....

[foreverand6days]

Sweet!!

[KataVideo]

awesome. what's your signal chain?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Thanks! I still had the patch from the last time I did this cover. It's Line 6 with some chorus and delay.

[guns1rose]

do i hear a little phaser in there? sounds great!
