Angie -The Rolling Stones (short)

That’s sounding great, Rogier, you’ve really got the vibe of the song! Your timing is quite good too, I’ve wanted to learn this one but have always thought the timing is a bit tricky. You’ve inspired me to give it a go :slightly_smiling_face:

What a treat that must have been, Rogier, to be up close and personal. I have seen them once when they visited South Africa on the Voodoo Lounge tour, just after the end of apartheid in '95. It was memorable (though not as good as Deep Purple supported by Uriah Heap)

I do love the Stones, particularly the 4 magnificent albums that preceded Goats Head Soup, which is not a great album, and from which I think fair to say that Angie is the stand-out song, and is one of the many great songs on their catalogue.

Hi Mari, @Mari63
Thanks,I’m happy with what you say,…I listened to it once before posting, but only to hear about not too big mistakes…timing I didn’t even pay attention, and on many more things not…oops :see_no_evil:
And I’ve heard a lot from you, … this will definitely sound good if you play it :sunglasses:
Greetings,…

And David,
Definitely a special experience,… and if I remember correctly I was in Germany with a group of friends to see Voodoo lounge with a great band as support act that I can’t remember now…good times… :sunglasses:…I can also remember the images of them in various programs in South Africa…also good times back then…everything would always get better and more beautiful, there, here and everywhere… :thinking:,
Greetings,…

Way beyond my play grade to provide any meaningful feedback. I’m glad you took the advice you gave me… that @batwoman is always right… it sounded wonderful and as @David pointed out it showcased a range of skills so It was a really good watch but therefore just too short :wink: oh and the T-Shirt looks great :+1:

Hi Rogier, this is the first AVofYouP I see :blush: I think you’re doing a very good job…you seem to switch from lead to strumming and back quite confidently, I’m impressed as I’ve always thought it to be a very difficult thing. I enjoyed it, bravo! :blush:

That was great Roger, instantly recognisable. Thought you played them both well and with some feeling but I think I preferred the one without the reverb. Strange as I love my reverb but I thought the first sounded closer to the original.

Will you develop this into the full song ? Hope so !
Good share.

Hi James @Socio ,
Thanks for your nice words, and I think anyone can comment ( about doing things better if he see/hear things) whatever your playing level is, :blush: ,but I understand the hesitation ofcourse…Garry. @Papa_G ,…said that well a while ago in a good way,…
Maggie will see all those tags from everyone when she wakes up and thinks what… is happening,… :joy:,…

Hi Silvia, @SILVIA
Mille volte grazie,… :blush:
It also did not come naturally and I like that the people here know and see that it takes a lot of effort, … nice, but sweating :sweat_smile:
annnnd…first AVofYOUp( :laughing:),…OOoooo,I’ve done soooo many,…sei perdonato :innocent:
Greetings,…

Hi Trevor @skinnyt ,
Thanks,…I hope so, he was not happy about my last performance in his presence,…not practiced well/long enough, he said in slightly different words, :smile: (and he was correct)…and if not, the t-shirt will hopefully make everything right,. .I hand over the rights in case he is so strange that he wants to use that photo :joy:,
Greetings,…

Hi Toby, @TheMadman_tobyjenner
Thank you,…and :exploding_head: less reverb saying… :rofl: :joy: :rofl:
I completely understand what you mean,…and I also agree with you, but the first performance sounds a bit tinny to me(?)…I’m going to be able to listen to this on Sunday over the speakers of my hi-fi instead of the computer boxes when I do extra extra sweet here at home…
Now I’m extra happy that I almost didn’t have the reverb on at first… it’s still on my looper so I can record the same recording with my phone in front of the amplifier with the extra reverb off…
then I hear the honest difference in how I sit and sound… :sunglasses:
Thanks for this ,and greetings

That was great Rogier you have really played it well and as Toby said recognizable straight away! Hope to hear further sections of the song from you at some point in the future :smiley: all the best!

I don’t understand you, Roger.
For someone who has such a lot to say ( :rofl:), you keep you guitar skills very close to your chest.
My sharing rate would be even more tedious if I could play ‘properly’ like that!
I prefer short versions of songs when vocals are omitted, unless there is going to be a significant difference in the playing, so well done there.
Critique-wise, I’m out of my depth musically, although you could probably work on your posture :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Good stuff, and get that recorder out more often :smiley:

Hi Adrian, @adi_mrok
Thanks ,I did this short version because otherwise it becomes a repetition and the only part in between is too easy/boring and you really have to sing along,…and then I miss Steve :laughing:
So only when Steve comes by or I learn to sing you will hear more , :smiley:
Greetings,…

Hi Brian,… @brianlarsen
:rofl:,
After all those stories you still don’t understand me,…just let your wife read something, she’ll probably be faster,…and can explain :blush:
Thank you :blush:,…

Should have started playing about standing…and i think you mist a lick `n riff blues,so I’ve done enough lately :sweat_smile:,
