@brandonlace On the '69 tour, Keith was using open G with a capo. If you watch the Gimme Shelter movie, you can see Keith switching from his open G guitar to another guitar to play the next song.
now i know it :-) this is taylors part in standard.
i'm pretty shure keef played in open G with Capo @ 4th in this version. the melodic part during the chorus is mick t in standard (no slidework this time).
i hear a (melodic) 2nd guitar during the chorus. for me it sounds like it's tuned to an open tuning (i may be wrong). this leads me to the question: is the part you played in the vid originally played by keef or mick t? if it's played by keef i assume the melodic part during the chorus is slidework in standard tuning by mick t? but i'm not quite shure since i've read about keef using open G with Capo @ 4th from Hyde Park onwards.. rock on! love&peace
This is the riff every guitar player needs to know but it so complicated at times with the different tunings but leave it to the guitar Keith Richards to make a amazing riff even tho it's wymans riff
Great ! - I encourage and request you to do more standard tuning versions of Stones songs where the original version is in open G (some of us have only one guitar, (are also beginners), and retuning is impractical). In particular, I would LOVE to see you do a version of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" in standard tuning (and optionally make it a lesson to really blow me away) - I know parts of this song in standard tuning - it sounds pretty good, but would love to see your version to fill in gaps !
@steve676 To be honest, it's a lot easier to do the songs in open G than in standard tuning. And a lot of open G songs (Can't You Hear Me Knocking) would sound pretty awful in standard tuning. You just can't get the voicings correct.
Couldn't agree more. Some songs HAVE to be played in the tuning they were recorded in to get the right tone/sound. Brown Sugar, CYHMK, Start Me Up, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, all really need the right open tuning.
@steve676 privettricker is right. You can't play Keith without his open tuning licks. It sounds terrible without it. It is easy to learn and a hell of a lot of fun to play! That's just my opinion though.
Thank you ! - you must have telepathic powers, and been reading the desired song selection list in my brain ! - the only thing better would have been to have a lesson on it (some of us are beginners, and a slower explanation helps us greatly to figure out where to put our fingers and which strings to hit and when) - (perhaps a lesson added someday on this one, or on the Rock'n'Roll Circus version someday (even if is similar))
I've always thought it sounds like Keith played this in open G with a capo on the fourth fret during the '69 tour and thereafter. The way the cords slide down the neck in the chorus sounds like open G to me. If you notice in the film Gimmie Shelter he's using the black Les Paul Custom for this song. In all the other film footage when he's using that guitar there is a capo on the fourth fret, i.e. Street Fighting Man, which is open tuning. Love Mick Taylor's solo too!
I always assumed that he adopted the open G tuning for this but now it makes sense because he really didn't play a lot of open tunings on that tour even though a lot of the songs from beggars and let it bleed are in open tunings ,it is not G YET He goes right into Carol too which is obviously in standard. I heard from the man himself that the original was ALL acoustic and a Nashville tuning in G overdubbed over the open D with capo. Man I don't know what he does now either.open G
@andy65guitar You are correct. The original was a open E or D with a mike stuck down into a guitar and recorded onto a philips cassette recorder. Primitive. In his book "Life" Keith explains the importance of JJ Flash and SF Man (both evolved at the same time). Apparently JJ Flash was a grounds keeper named Jack they saw slogging around in his boots outside Redlands at 6am in the morning. The poor sod probably never realized that one of rock's premier songs was written about him!
@IdolHans I am reading the same book. One of many. He says he remembers everything and then says the opposite in the book! Oh well he remembers the songs anyway. The only songs in G on THAT tour(69) would have been SFMan and Honky Tonk women I guess but I heard somewhere that they did You Can't... And of course famously played Brown Sugar At Altamont for the first time!! So the open G was starting then so Maybe JJF is in G? Sounds great though but I think he changes guitars after first?
@12stringsforme Ah you are right it does start with a G, and there is no capo. But after that it carries on with very similar riffs and phrasing to the recorded version, albeit in a different key. Privettricker has a video of him playing the recorded version - learn that, remove the capo and use your intuition.
@rollingstones911 You're right ... Keith plays open G, capo at IV. But this version was recorded just after Mick Taylor replaced Brian Jones. I'm pretty sure Mick was playing standard tuning - the way privettricker is playing. This is the version I learned and I've played it this way for years.
I like the way u did it . I will learn from this ....
