Dead Flowers - The Rolling Stones: Very Challenging!


A personal friend of mine was just 'crazy-out-of-his-gourd' for this classic Stones tune...which I barely remembered from the high school days.

I have it set-up as a fakebook style arrangement where ALL lyrics and melody as sung are on the top staff.

The second staff has banjo playing back-up, which later trades places and licks with the third staff...

The third staff features banjo also. It has the banjo playing some 'lead-guitar' type licks in the beginning, then it does more of a "roll-style" back-up, before finally "chunking" chords in the most basic of Scruggs style.

This is the first time I can remember putting 2 banjos in the same arrangement...doing back-up to support the tune and playing some background lead type material.

I would call this a band arrangement really. It's got multiple parts...and playing either one of the banjo parts by itself may not give the listener a clue as to what they're hearing...the vocals always help on a tune like this.

But, I really like the arrangement because of it's simple, yet complex nature...

In whole, it definitely puts the tune out there in Scruggs style for the world to hear.

Fairly Challenging.

Tom
