It's always such a relief to come across a player who covers a classic song in the spirit of the original without trying to be the original player. Your chops make me smile man. Thanks.

[@ricblenk]

Good to hear - thanks for the positive feedback!

[@carlrball]

This dude can play!

[@walter770]

You captured that slinky feel perfectly

[@robertcooney1938]

You mean that groove. Grooves so good.

[@joe6096]

Always loved Keith's guitar tone and you nailed it. Slinky, buttery, with just enough crunch to bite. Very cool!

[@ricblenk]

Joe thank you for the kind words! 👍

[@mike60510]

I never realized the guitar part in the song was so cool.

[@ricblenk]

@@mike60510 Well this is me just playing around with it, but the original part has some really cool bits hidden in it!

[@shanfaulkner5607]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

[@chuckfatherofrock3480]

Keith is the man, and you’ve nailed his playing quite well here

[@christophernye1970]

Very refreshing, excellent 😮

[@cyrilrichard191]

The blues is in you soul buddy ! Love what you proposed ! Great work, sound and nice guitar ! 👍🎸

[@yogimarkmac]

Tasty, tasty! I love to see someone actually "playing" on the guitar. Rock on!

[@mcmrv14]

Playing along like that is what I aspire to do. I'd never get bored with skills like that.

[@classic-kool]

You nailed that groove, man!!!

[@chigimon]

Cracking guitar work

[@julian1775]

Not an easy task to add something worth listening to this masterpiece, and you did it. Congrats.

[@julian1775]

BTW, I love the sound of the Tele + Orange combo.

[@shanfaulkner5607]

FANTASTIC JOB! EXCELLENT STYLE

There are a lot of people that call themselves "musicians". Dude, you are a musician and then some. I've been watching your video several times over the last week or so and I cannot get over how good you are.....I hope you go pro.....really a pleasure to watch you play and I don't think that you missed anything in the song.....I've been listening to the Stones for over 40 years....

[@ricblenk]

Wow! Kind words - thank you!

[@whyyeseyec]

Excellent! That was pretty sharp!!

[@ricblenk]

[@luciaportenses]

amazing!

[@ricblenk]

Lúcia Porto thank you!! 🙏

[@jeemalsoknownasjimhawkins1294]

Ricblenk: This is quite excellent! I like your playing so much that I am subscribing to your Channel. This gives me a lot of clues on how to play this song the right way. If you are not a professional musician, you should be (but you probably are, anyway). Thanks for posting this! Cheers.

[@ricblenk]

Kind words - thanks!

[@armandoalonso2068]

AWESOME ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@bruce5099]

fucking hell and sweet! Keith channeled. rock star jammed. you're own inflection isn't missed by the way. wicked cool.

[@ricblenk]

Thanks a lot - Keith is the man!

[@smartacus88]

Bruce D Keith is the man and is original and recognizable and innovative. But this Cat is far and away a better player than Keith. He's on the same level as Ronnie.

[@bruce5099]

I can see your point but Mick nor Ronnie would not be where without Keith. Mr. Rock N Roll!

[@johnvanhorn2553]

Very nice

[@cenjim]

Super sweet!

[@ricblenk]

Thank you kind sir

[@Haroldenriki]

Very nice man

[@1Sfeldman]

Excelente

[@gregdenis5191]

I enjoyed that ... that was well done ... showed you exactly how to take "liberties" & use techniques & riffs you've learned along the way & make it your own while keeping the integrity of the song ... I'd bet Keith Richards had played this songs many different ways. thumbs up !!

[@ricblenk]

That's good of you to say - thanks! I love Keith's various different versions of songs.

[@henryernanto5813]

Awesome

[@ricblenk]

Henry Ernanto thank you! 🙌

[@normanetheridge7299]

Great job!!!

[@ricblenk]

Cheers buddy.

[@jofal62]

excellent !

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

Brilliant

[@walter770]

On closer observation I must say you have mastered the chord voicings and the feel of the slinky licks on this song. The album version is much harder to master than the way they play it live. Fantastic!

[@ricblenk]

Thanks a lot - I used to love listening to albums and trying to find all the different chord voicings that they used.

[@patrickmoalic2306]

Trop bon ...like It !

[@rollinntumblin]

Very nice. Thanks much.

[@windyhillbomber]

Kapow!!!!! Awesome.

[@facundogalan1996]

Yeahh!!! That’s R&R!!

[@mrags99]

Fun to watch and listen. That's about as good as the song can be played!

[@ricblenk]

Praise indeed - thanks

[@philoumars3168]

Very good cover.

[@johnbilewicz6392]

Killin' it. :-)

I always think I'm a decent guitar player until I see a perfect rolling stones cover

[@ricblenk]

Haha - thank you! Though never judge how good you are against others :)
