I always enjoyed this when ever I heard this favorite stones tune on the radio..found this live concert.. pretty cool how Ron and KEITH talk and tell stories with their small blues riffs.. subtle guitars but always amazing to listen after four decades plus .. i finally tried the open G rhythm version found at Andy’s anyway thought it cool to share ideas/music

I like open G tuning. Your jamming ist excellent. But honestly I prefer the London years of the early Rolling Stones with Bluesman Brian Jones. For me the first Album is the best of all with so many Blues Classics and Chuck Berry Covers. (Mona, I’m a King Bee, Little by little, I just wanna make love to you, Carol, Route 66, Honest I do, Walking the dog ….)

That’s some fine playing there.
The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

Dieter and I are polar opposites! I’m not much of a Stones fan but Let It Bleed was something else, so many good songs on that one and YCAGWYW is such an anthem, both in lyrics and melody. Perhaps Mick Taylor had a lot to do with it. What a great live version and your acoustic sounds fantastic.

Dieter thanks, but that was about a half hour random last night, was watching chlallenge videos lot of folks picked EP266 a real favorite.. than i thought Key of G went to youtube found this tune.. went to a guitar song lesson site.. opened the ovation hardshell..plugged my balladeer in the yamaha thr 10c tuned to open G tuning put capo on fifth fret.. And got into this tune i never did before! lol.. But I read you man.. so much talent back when.. proof is we still hear them on the radio from the 70s 80s over forty fifty years AGO! ..
Anyway this was trying to find the patterns in open G ..mistakes and all..but it really is only a matter of seeing the box shapes in open G tuning.. which is what Kieth usually played.. I read he removed the low E because it just got in the way tuned in open G.. ( I guess he didn’t want it ringing out/humming)
going to mess around with this try some of these tunes in open G,enjoy,, try making it work

Great videos, John. I’ve never been a big Stones fan in the past, not even at the time when I worked in a ticket booth to their concert, when i was a student. That has changed, though. You can’t help but recognize what great musicians are at work here. I haven’t yet tuned any of my guitars to open G, but now I think I should give it a try. I intend to keep at standard tuning in the future, but I am sure i will learn a thing or two.

Cool! I never would have thought of trying to jam along with that song, even though it’s one of my favorites.

Dieter,
I am a great lover of all on that album. It was my introduction to the blues and it made a really powerful connection that has lasted me to now. I knew there was something in common behind it at the time and saw names such as Dickenfiled, Spann, Walters and Morganfield etc. Who the heck were they? It meant nothing till the late mid-sixties when I chanced upon Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. I then realized that I should look to Chicago etc and the blues world opened its doors.
I bought every Stones album until about 1973-4 and have not bought one since although I know they have made a blues release recently. They seemd to depart from the theme that i liked so much. I have got to see them 3 times around that time Twice in London and once in Brighton. I was lucky enough to have met Kieth Richards in Chichester a southern town in the UK, in the summer way back then. He had bought a house not far away and still lives there now I believe. He was just hanging out sitting on the Butter Market steps in summer sun with amazingly just one other person nearby smoking a cigarette. And so I approached him and I had quite a few moments to chat with him. He seemed a really nice guy at the time. I guess that was about 68 or 9. -

John WOW! amazing reply man!.. I just can share what I liked about only listening to this tune on the radio for decades lol .. I like sticky fingers album… but because I was so into “can’t you hear me knocking” decades ago when I had no clue but simply played by ear lol.. same with with highschool friends we tried jamming in a closed warehouse we rented for a few bucks etc… way before the internet days ..
still like the songs on that album too.. this was something I found to share here because it is so really easy to learn and hope it gives some ideas about open tunings.. think this tune will be around long after we are all gone lol.. so cool
If you ever spend time with Keith Richards again, please have him hit the thumbs up and subscribe button! lol -

That was a good choice, sunbursted John!
I love this piece and I love the Stones, well, not everything, but for instance Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, Between the Buttons, Get yer Yeah Yeah’s out… and I love the way, Keith Richards plays the guitar.In my opinion, he’s a great guitar player, often underastimated. Mostly he plays the rhythm part offbeat and often he uses open tunings. Without him, the Stones would never sound like the Stones!You motivated me trying “Wild Horses” this evening. lol

I read you Eric and agree, same here like you and millions some Stones are worthy of playing .. ty man enjoy!
I could have waited and done something much better, lol.. this was less a half our to learn and got excited enough to just post what I learned so fast using an online tutorial.. I like a lot of their songs.. we don’t see much The Beatle stuff here either but I remember doing a few I really like on both acoustic and electric.. anyway plenty of cool lessons here too been practicing! enjoy!

Really nice John! I listened to the Stones more than anyone when I was growing up, something like half of my listening time. Let It Bleed was a favorite at times, Aftermath, Beggar’s Banquet, Exile On Main Street and Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out were also favorites.

Thanks Don, yeah man , I never got big into the stones but really did with a few hit songs and some always still are on the radio to this day.. man I just have much respect for them as an iconic rock band
open G tuning is cool to try and this tune especially is something to try..can learn from it even do simple solo licks in open G like i was trying lol
