Sticky Fingers - Rum Rage (cover)

[@DurieI]

It almost borders on miraculous when you think about how strange the Internet is. Despite this, the world is drifting apart and there have never been as many lonely people as there are today, even though everyone is networked. And then the internet makes sure that I sit at my computer at 00:22 at night in Germany, let the day pass me by again, and then this damn harmonious song by a woman somewhere in the world appears from her private room. The voice is so sweet that you fall into a dream. For me it is a proof. A proof that you just have to look around and you find little splinters of joy in the world full of frustration, hatred and bitterness, if you just look closely at the little things. You have lit up my night tonight. Thank you so much for that.

[@EleniDrake]

Thank you so much for such a warm and kind comment. I appreciate it. I hope you are well kind stranger x

[@DurieI]

@@EleniDrake Yes, I'm fine. It was the chill night and the wonderful song that animated me to leave you a great comment here. Keep going with your songs so that they spread good moods. You are great. 😊

Don't delete anything from your channel, It's a record of your creative work for one, and it is all of a superb quality. I get a regular dose of dopamine whenever I see you upload. Because I know that even if it's a cover, it will be unique, and listening to it will be a novel experience. And such experiences are one of the things that we all so desperately crave. Hope you're having a blessed day 🙏

"I get a dose of dopamine whenever you upload." If someone doesn´t put that line in a song, I will (Thomas you get first dibs).

[@arthurpires1709]

that's interesting, few left-handed people play with their guitars backwards, most invert the strings so I admire it even more, because of the difficulty in making the chords my congratulations

[@viniciusmus]

Man! ?You are really right! That's so difficult!!!

[@danieljr9279]

Thanks for saying like it.. it is really not so easy to play like that, thank God even I'm among them

Please never delete this! I'm so in love with your cover, hands down the best version of this song

[@bullethead2311]

I clicked on this because I saw in the thumb that you were playing upside down, but stayed because this is an absolutely beautiful performance. Anyone calling you ugly names is doing so because they lead miserable lives and deflect that onto you from the safety of their keyboard. Take negative comments with a grain of salt because there are zero flaws in any of this. In fact, come to the realization that it helps with your engagement and flip it into a positive. :) Please keep it up!!

[@josephaitken4809]

Sticky Fingers are probably one of the best bands to come out in recent time. With this song in particular being a true masterpiece, it’s definitely my favorite alongside liquorlip loaded gun and willow tree. You definitely did this one justice

[@aidenburrell1895]

I was lying trying to fall asleep and had this on. It was my first moment of peace in a while. Thank you

[@johnwattdotca]

Good afternoon! I'm left-handed and play the way you do. I saw Jimi Hendrix at Maple Leaf Gardens and bought a 1964 Strat, ordered a Marshall from England and tried as many effects as I could. I was trying to play like Jimi four months before he passed away, yes, a long time ago. I began to build my own left-handed bodies, ordering two left-handed tremolo units from Fender in 1977. Yes, I'm stressing about being old. I became a professional rock show-band player in Toronto, into jazz and classical. If you have any questions about your Stratocaster, how to set it up, does it have all the authentic features, please, just ask. Here's an Am chord I bet you haven't tried. Bass E string, fifth fret A A string, third fret C D string, second fret E G, B and E ring open. This soft wash of a chord sounds nice with acoustics or electrics, when everyone else is playing the standard chords. If you're using feedback and effects, G, B and E can keep making their own sound, while you play lead guitar up on the bass strings, sounding like two guitars at once. You can move this up five and seven frets as a chord progression, and you can find the minor chords in between, a world of back-up guitar all it's own. If you use G, B and E as drone strings, and play notes up and down the D string, it can sound like a zither, or if you play on the A string it can sound like a sitar. And playing with the bass strings on the bottom and the high strings on top (what a concept) you can play like that all day and not worry about tendonitis. I hope you get into bands. That's the best way to grow as a musician.

[@laissuzuki708]

It's so wonderful to see she playing and singing, cause it's like she's hypnotized by the music and having a whole epiphany and taking us with her! Also you can see when she end the song she realised that there's a camera in front of her and that she has been playing this whole time....it's like looking at a angel comming down from heaven!

[@rahmanshafiee4561]

I actually discovered this song through your cover, and it's honestly so good, Now I'm kinda scared the original won't be as amazing. You put so much heart into it, you made it your own and totally blew me away. Thanks for sharing your talent and introducing me to a new favorite song!

[@sortof3337]

its just as amazing. :D sticky fingers is brilliant.

[@brandonmshrock]

Great playing, great singing, and super cool to see someone playing a guitar upside-down and backwards like Dick Dale. Keep up the good work!

[@loishervouet]

I have discovered this one week ago and I can't stop listening to it, your voice is sublime and so so so peaceful!

[Verse 1] It takes a beaten up animal to put em all away Rushing me around and sending me astray Don't you lie to me, as we finally Got a handle on the doors that we open and shut Packing up my suitcase, cause I'm going far away I'm going to a place where the credit cards Don't decline on me, as we finally Got a handle on the doors that we open and shut [Chorus] She took her time Took my mind But forget mine Me in my frame of mind We took our time But she took mine [Verse 2] We're remotely secluded in this far away place Heading to a land where everything is okay Don't feel suddenly that you and me Got a handle on the doors we open and close Can you take a little time ego balance your ways Cause everything we do and we put on display Maybe you and me are a little the same So what do you think of what we've made? [Chorus] She took her time Took my mind But forget mine Me in my frame of mind We took our time But she took mine

[@AimiliosB]

This voice gave me the chills.. So heart warming! Im offended that you thought you were offending anyone with this cover!

[@haamid1629]

The way you move your fingers over the strings ,and the way it exhibits the rythem just brings a storm in my soul...Me walking on street and listening to it

[@eduardogutierrez2323]

It is incredible to see how you play left-handed with the strings right-handed- the melody with the thumb, index and medium finger, and, the bases with the little finger and ring finger

[@alessandra2855]

this is amazing and so inspiring. you rock girl. the more I progress through the video the more I get impressed by your talent

Lefty?

[@imanuelwihandoko]

@@chewypeaces yeah, but not everyone who lefty play upside down like that. its usually played by right handed tho

[@marceloveras9461]

Lucas Perez Jimi hendrix inverted the strings, so it was a flipped guitar but the order of the strings was normal

[@breezedoart]

That's her style

[@nrktp]

I can relate playing as a left handed with the strings upside down x), my friends wouldn't let me change them and had to play the songs i knew like that. Cheers! Good work!

[@mxgeller]

Took me a moment to realize why those chord shapes looked different... awesome performance!

Wait, you play it left hand but you did’t reverse the nut and strings. So the high E is on top. That’s fkn crazy girl. Much respect ✊. So lucky to find your channel. Your tone is so amazing

[@maddyx3711]

She's literally playing a right handed guitar upside down. According to her, she was too lazy to invest onto a LH guitar so she just stuck with this and ended up mastering it somewhat

[@catedoge3206]

[@hectorCI]

I find it humble how you apologize in case anyone would feel offended by your cover, and then that you think it ain't that good so you'll delete it. Idk anything about it, but it makes me wanna say that even if you think yourself as not being perfect, or at least even close to great, I would say that I, and various others, do think you're good at what you do, even if you're not the best. I may be writing this for you out of intuition, maybe for myself, or even for someone else, but don't underestimate yourself and what you do, no one that is "perfect" or "great" started out as such. I think it would've been easier to say: keep the good music coming, please!

[@WildeFamilyVids]

Playing the guitar UPSIDE DOWN? Without re-stringing it? So that the bass strings are on the bottom? Wow. I've never seen that before. Must have completely re-invented the fingering of every chord she plays. I'm trying to figure out if she gets a different sound/feel out of that. It sounds beautiful, at any rate.
