State of My Head - Shinedown (Acoustic Cover)

Here's my acoustic guitar and vocal cover of "State of My Head" by Shinedown. Ran out of gas near the end, but oh well...what can I say...I'm no Brent Smith :)

That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head It’s been a long bumpy ride sittin’ back in the saddle It’s time to get down, dirty up our knees in the battle Come on, round up the boys, gonna make the walls rattle Oh, our flag is tattered And our bones are shattered But it doesn’t matter ‘Cause we’re movin’ forward Round ‘em up, round ‘em up, let’s go Round ‘em up, let’s go Oh, my eyes are seein’ red Double vision from the blood we’ve shed The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head They don’t know, where we’ve been We got that concrete street skin The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head We’ve been shot up, beat up by the fallin’ of the arrows (arrows, arrows, arrows) Yeah, I’m full of deep cuts right down to the marrow But there’s no doubt we’ll get out from the bottom of the barrel Oh, our flag is tattered And my bones are shattered But it doesn’t matter ‘Cause we’re movin’ forward Round ‘em up, round ‘em up, let’s go Round ‘em up, let’s go Oh, my eyes are seein’ red Double vision from the blood we’ve shed The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head They don’t know, where we’ve been We got that concrete street skin The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head Can you hear me now, can you hear me now I’m comin’ back for more Do you feel me now, do you feel me now I’m breakin’ down your door I’m not speakin’ under my breath ‘Cause the harder you push, the rougher I get ‘Cause I’m not shakin’, when the earth starts quakin’ Got my own foundation with no hesitation and the Oh, my eyes are seein’ red Double vision from the blood we’ve shed The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head They don’t know, where we’ve been We got that concrete street skin The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head

[@theonlymuirsy]

Great voice man. Awesome cover!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

+Mike Muir (Tough Toyota Trucks) Thanks a lot man!

[@theonlymuirsy]

+AcousticJONES13 gotta give respect where respect is due mate! Looking forward to some more Shinedown tunes. Crow and the Butterfly would be a good one!

[@kaitlinhoward4216]

+Mike Muir (Tough Toyota Trucks) I agree that crow and the butterfly would be cool

[@kenzikeffeler]

Very good!

[@chazzer2309]

Beauty! Well done!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Thank you!

[@Brandon_Renegade]

Great job AcousticJONES13 !! If I may request , would be great to see you do an acoustic version of Love Hate Relationship by Trapt !

[@thomasRivers215]

Wasn't sure how this would translate acoustically, but you killed it man, great job

[@thomasRivers215]

Also if your up for requests I'd love to hear Snuff by slipknot, or hero of war by rise against, again great cover

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

+sadf staffs Thanks! I'm actually working on a different Slipknot cover currently...we'll see if it translates acoustically. haha Not the easiest band to cover

[@thomasRivers215]

+AcousticJONES13 Yeah I can attest that Corey Taylor's voice is not an easy one to cover, Good Luck!!!

[@Tinks27]

Awesome work man!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Thanks man!

[@Halfpastseven]

Awesome!

[@xaviermagliolo8333]

Wow great cover man!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Thanks!

[@battymations4891]

Waaaaa!!!! This is beautiful!!!!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Thanks!

[@battymations4891]

AcousticJonesCovers No problem

[@anthonyduran6187]

Does anybody know what chords he’s playing? I’m kind of new to guitar and I’m trying to be self taught and I think it would be really beneficial to me to learn how to play this

[@theonlymuirsy]

Ever though of trying Stone Sour - Brother? I feel like this suits your vocals. Also, check out Hail the Villain - Take Back the Fear. I've always been intrigued to hear an acoustic version (there's an after party version by HTV). Cheers mate. Great again!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Thanks man! I'll definitely check out those tunes. Cheers!

[@kevingipe9402]

just beautiful dude, I like it better than the original and that's saying something. keep up the good work

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

+Kevin Gipe Thanks man!

[@scottmurray559]

really good

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

+Alpha xReapurz Thanks!

[@daltondryneck]

Dude good fuckin job. Props from Canada 🇨🇦

[@peterledenev]

What is the tuning of your guitar? is that drop E somehow?

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Hey Peter, guitar is tuned as follows: B-F#-B-E-G#-C#...so basically just drop D with everything dropped down a couple steps. Hope this helps. Cheers.

[@peterledenev]

+AcousticJonesCovers thank you very much! Also, keep up the good work. Quality cover!

[@victorypudding9627]

Loving this cover, but I have one question. What tuning do you play this in? Or if you could give the chords or tab that would be great.

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

+Victory Pudding Thanks a lot! It's drop D tuning, but I dropped everything down a bit till it got into my range

[@MouseChild]

Could you do Afterlife by Switchfoot? Love your videos!

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

+CoryphCorporal Thanks, I'll definitely check it out! Cheers.

[@b.d.c.c.6147]

Of you do not mind then i would like to Shanghai this one to play it next time. It will not be as good as yours though.

[@canceRZet]

'give up' :) what is the tuning?

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

B - F# - B - E - G# - C#. Cheers!

[@ikantspelgud1]

Requests: Stone Sour - Bother Zakk Wylde ft Corey Taylor - Sleeping Dogs

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

Both songs I like!

[@ikantspelgud1]

AcousticJonesCovers I think Sleeping Dogs would fit very very well.

[@acousticjonescovers4404]

It's on my list! :) Hopefully I can get to it in the New Year. Cheers.

[@xaviermagliolo8333]

Wow great cover man!
