Dead Flowers - Acoustic Rolling Stones / Guns n' Roses Cover

Yes, this is a Stones tune, but, I first learned of its existence as a GnR cover that they'd perform live at concerts.

This is my acoustic rendition of the tune. In true GnR fashion, I'm tuned down 1/2 a step. Originally, my intent was to add my own vocals to this track... considering it is one of the few tunes I can manage to play and sing. However, after giving a shot, I ultimately felt that you, the listener, would probably prefer if I'd just kept my mouth shut ;-) So, instead, I cooked up a "vocal" track on my guitar instead.

The video also includes an improvised solo. It's nothing too special, but, I kinda dug the sound of it so it made it into the final rendition.

Here's hoping someone enjoys it!

ITS A ROLLING STONES COVER FYI

@imaStonesFan - Hmmm.... I'm a bit confused with your comment. It's listed as such in the video title and is restated in the first 6 words of the video description.

It also states in the description that I first experienced this song by hearing Guns 'N Roses cover it. That's why I've given GnR some credit as well; they introduced me to the tune ;-)

At any rate, thanks for watching and for both of your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

I was talking to the other guy that thought someone else wrote it :)

[FussenKuh]

@imaStonesFan - Ah, gotcha... things make a bit more sense now. I had to correct him too ;-)

But, everyone is allowed a mistake or two. To his credit, he did quickly acknowledge his incorrect correction :-)

Actually, it's a Townes Van Zandt tune. Good job. Found this looking for AJ500 clips, as I'm in the market. Is this an M or an R?

[FussenKuh]

@TheSatelliteHearts - Hmmm... the lyrics and music were written by Jagger & Richards back in 1969-1970. I'm guessing your knowledge is either coming from Zandt's cover from his Roadsongs album or from The Big Lebowski? Regardless, thanks for the complement :-)

As for the AJ500, I have the M (aka Mahogany) variant. All I can say is I think mine is FANTASTIC. However, I did have to play several before I found one that sounded solid to my ears. Definitely, play before you buy ;-)
