"Sympathy For the Devil" on my Fender Custom Shop Tele with SD Pups

[jilaw50]

Here is a video of this weekend's gig. My band, Mike Imbasciani and his Bluez Rockerz, doing the classic Rolling Stones song. Pickups in the Tele are SD SH-1 NI '59 NK + '51 Nocaster BRG REL. Let me know what you think!

I like it. Love the lead tone, and your drummer does a great job.

That said, you and the band really kick it in gear with Crosscut Saw!

I like that groove and everyone plays well. I've heard it covered 1,000 times with guitar (which the studio version does not have except for the solo), and usually the guitar is pretty obtrusive. Here it pretty much stays out of the way during the verses. But to me, the big thing is that this song simply does not work with Tom Jones vocals. It's the devil bragging about all the **** he has pulled throughout history. There is nothing smooth about it. It's dirty and nasty and evil.
