I thought it was him as well! Doing some covid thing. The acoustic playing is as good and I honestly thought wow, his singings improved haha.........there you go. I'd take that as a compliment.
I really appreciate this cover of a great Rolling Stones song. I love the tempo and the feel of this cover and the great vocals just incredible. Thank You Very Much 🙏
I remember this Stones song, starting off with a down to earth blues feel, great intro. Your version sounds more sophisticated, good solo guitar work and your voice sounds good too, enjoyed all the way, great sounding guitar and recording quality, stay healthy Vic.
Incredibile choise, different tuning, timing, rithm , sound , voices but the effect of all is estatic !! More introspected version . Low aggressive but most romantic , i love the rock but this is a perfect job !!
Unlike any other way I could imagine someone interpreting a very electric song. I can definitely detect hints of Clapton and Santana. This performance is truly heartfelt and exemplifies that with every note. The only thing I would ask is that this guy play a extended version and just go where the music takes him. He’s certainly got some originality about him. In the words of Humphrey Bogart, “Play it again, Sam”.
I’ve been listening to various covers of Gimme Shelter this afternoon, which is how I found your version. Nice work! I’ve subscribed to hear more from you.
That was exceptional. Your vocals and guitar playing was very soulful. The 1st few bars, I thought, this is a Maton guitar. I can hear Santana and Clapton. The AKG mic is very good - it catches your voice very well. No doubt the vocal pop screen is important.
Once when I was a kid I laughed at the guitar player in the band for trying to learn to play Alvin Lee's going home on 16 RPM to slow things down on his turntable. He wanted to get every note right. Tonight I found myself doing the same thing on Craig's lead. It's still a mess lol Sure wish I had tabs ;-) ? You definitely are proficient Craig. I know this was posted 4 years ago so maybe you won't see your messages but I'll try anyway. What are you doing now? Are you gigging or? Sure wish you were teaching. Blessings from Cambodia. PS. .My guitar asked me WTF I was trying to do with the finger tapping and seemed to indicate it was above her pay grade. That guitar has amazing sound. Love to know what gear you are using especially to get your vocals so clean. Great vocals mate. You really found your voice.
Hi Thommy - thanks so much for the kind words. I've done my share of slowing down tunes to try and learn a technique or a lick ( I still do every now and then :). Unfortunately I've never created TABs before, but I'm currently working on some for my original songs -- it's a little trickier to create TABs for someone else's song, even if you cover it in a different style. For the gear, check out the notes I include in the description: for the vocal I used an AKG D790 mic and mixed it down in Logic. What am I doing now? I'm working on an album of fingerstyle instrumental acoustic tunes, and a guitar teaching website that will launch this summer, and I'll be offering private (online) lessons as well, so stay tuned! Thanks again, really appreciate it!
Wow... i'm impressed! A very professional and very touching production. Stunning sound, great guitar playing (love the Spot on soloing!) and a wonderful voice!! Go on with singing but dont neglect the guitar :) Really a fantastic work, Craig!
Thank you so much Uli for the kind comments, it means a lot. I'm definitely not a singer, so there isn't any danger I'll neglect the guitar :). Hope you're doing well, always looking forward to hearing more incredible music from you! Take care
This is excellent TD. You have some sweet chops, my friend. Your testimony beginning at 3:08 is right in the pocket and fits the song just right. Nice singing. Keep them coming. al
Wow ... this is a great version of this classic Stone's song. Has anyone worked on the tab for this version as it might help a novice like myself in learning it.
Thanks Doug for listening and commenting - I don’t usually produce tabs, but if you can play those three chords that are at the heart of the song - Am, G, F - you then just need to follow his groove and you’ll have it.
Thank you for this acoustic cover ! A few weeks ago I also had the idea of covering this song... We did it with 2 colleagues (we are healthcare workers but just ophthalmologists !! then we have had some time during the lockdown). The idea was that in February or March we had the feeling that the pandemic was "just a shot away" even if more silent than a real war ! Greetings from France ! Thomas
Thanks for listening and commenting. Turns out you and your colleagues were right, unfortunately. The lyrics are definitely timely... Take care and stay safe!
Beautiful cover of my favourite Stones song, written by Keith in Mount Street London, near my old office on a stormy night, while Mick was away with Anita Pallenberg, who was Keith's GF at the time. What tuning did you use for this?
Thank you, I appreciate it - great story behind the song about Keith and Mick. Close to your old office, that’s cool! I played this in standard tuning. My favorite Stones song as well.
Searched for The Rolling Stones, found Clapton haha. Love it!
Ha! Maybe in another life ... :) Thanks for stopping by, appreciate it!
Holy cow, for a sec LoL! Great sounds!
Haha i was thinking the same thing
I thought it was him as well! Doing some covid thing. The acoustic playing is as good and I honestly thought wow, his singings improved haha.........there you go. I'd take that as a compliment.
I thought the same. Damn good 👍
For a second I thought you were Clapton. Good job 👏👏
LOL, I appreciate it -- thanks for stopping by to listen and comment
Exactly, right! I thought the same. I saw the thumbnail and ...
Thank you man, you bring light into the darkness with these sounds
Thank you so much, you made my day 🙏🏼
You rock, Craig! Great singing and soloing, my friend! LOVE IT !!!!
Thanks Bernd -- not exactly fingerstyle, but it was fun to piece together! Take care my friend!
I really appreciate this cover of a great Rolling Stones song. I love the tempo and the feel of this cover and the great vocals just incredible. Thank You Very Much 🙏
Thank you Matthew for the kind words 🙏🏼
Guitar sounds so delicate, it's beautiful. Different approach makes this cover outstanding
Thank you!
Incredible! You take a classic and give him a new shine, thank you!
Thank you -- really appreciate it!
Great cover Craig. Best acoustic version I've heard.
Thank you, that means a lot to me 🙏🏼

Thanks Vic -- your comments and feedback is always appreciate. Stay safe my friend!
Awesome arrangement and very professional video editing. Keep safe and keep posting!
Thanks for stopping by to watch and listen, I really appreciate it. Take care!
He's workin' that Maton!!
Incredibile choise, different tuning, timing, rithm , sound , voices but the effect of all is estatic !! More introspected version . Low aggressive but most romantic , i love the rock but this is a perfect job !!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Wow talk about fate i had just finished arranging this song and this was so on the spot great interpretation priceless thank you sir.
Thank you for stopping by to listen and for the kind comments -- great song to dig into, such a classic!
I think this is the best cover I’ve seen. And that’s solo! Wow.
Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏🏼
Felicidades!!! Gran versión. Gracias. Excelente

Very nice. Gives me Clapton/(possibly Peter Gabriel???) vibes
Thanks!

It's clever at the beginning to have put for a few seconds a FFP2 hanging aside the lyrics, as a slight hint to the pandemic !
amazing cover, great sound!! 👏👏👏
Thank you!
Beautiful guitar and voice. Nice Maton, btw!
Thank you!
