Even the second or third guitar which overdubbed the main riff with 3 notes to get this unique final riff sound. Good luck.
I heard that Richards recorded this with an accoustic guitar which was put through philips cassette recorder. When the mic jamed is right in the guitar or somthing like and play it back through an extension speaker i think. I remembered reading this in his book "Life" so that's how he got the tone for it. So yeah great book and great song.
Hello mate, Could you possibly tell me how flat you tuned the strings down? As i am terrible at playing by ear.. Do u have an electro tuner? If so what dous the a string read on the tuner?? Thanx mate
great lesson, I've been using it to practice since I've watched it a month ago and I find it to be the most accurate cover compared with the original studio version, which i love. I find the live version they've been playing later too different from the original to like it...
Good grief, you don't half get some abuse eh, for showing people a few tips. I liked this, but it is done in an open chord, as the man said himself, 'you will never be able to play Jumping Jack Flash in a standard tuning baby, no way.' But this is good stuff, saves you re-tuning and sounds good. Nice one mate
the recorded version is a little flat because Richards use to play (like many others) tuning his guitar with a 432Hz diapason instead of the common 440Hz one.
. . on the second part of the opening riff you say "A" (and even play an "Amaj") but you are playing a "Bmaj" during the actual demo . . confusing for those who are new and just learning .. . .and to make it more confusing you play an "Amaj" but then play the "Bmaj" that is actually needed . . . great overview however otherwise . . .
if I'm not mistaken, and according to Bill Wyman in his book, it was Bill who came up with the main lick.
The original is in B played on a steel string tuned in open E (no capo), and run through a cassette deck as mentioned below by woolythesheep. A fine man I've been told.
Keith of course plays it with a 5 string Tele tune open G almost always today.
Ive played this song for almost 35 years and find its much easier to play it out of a barre chord on the 7th fret (key of B). You achieve the signature sound by merely lifting the ADG string fingers and replacing them (hammer-on). No need for the wierd move with the thumb on the E string.
thx. never take this down. the elusive studio version.. you talk me through it... awsome. another rumor is brian came up w/this and that is why keef never played it this way on stage. I can't believe that, it sounds like keith all the way.... thx
nice man u are a good guitarist, you must have seen the video of keith richards playing im going down and he hs an amazing riff in that ca u play tht too
This is one fine lesson Justin. You clearly have thought about this Stones classic a lot and made a very real distinction between how it's played live versus the studio cut, which I hadn't heard described on YouTube before. When you get to demonstrating the studio version you sound spot on man. And the beauty is you make it simple yet interesting to the advanced player. You rock man.
This thing taught me to play the song.. practically in a single day. The rest of the days were just practicing. You should do one on Gimme Shelter, I've been trying to learn that song for a while (because I'd really like to find a way to do it in standard tuning). Thanks for showing us. Also, ignore the people who don't care enough to hear you talk. The explanations do help.
@PinkFloydFan1995 He's not talking crap,You must be a slow learner...I learned it because he did do alot of talking...thats what you want from a good instructor. peace!
All you have to do is look at the Rock and Roll Circus video of JJF an see that Richards (not Jones) is playing this song exactly as shown here. Yes its true he does it many different ways but the R N R Circus version is recorded closest to the original. The original is done in B tuned 1 half step down according to Keith.
No the original is in Open E and there maight be one in standard. Justin does a great job with the Rock n roll circus version and maybe one of the guitars on the studio track.
Justin: Thank you for posting this and the other videos. They are really good and whether your version of the tuning is accurate is immaterial because you've qualified it by saying that it's your own take and because they sound fantastic.
Don't pay attention to the other ungrateful "experts" posting here who don't seem to offer their videos for free to help out. To them I say turn off your mommy's computer and go to bed. Justin, keep up the great work! Thanks again!
It's obvious many posters aren't watching much of the video; the guy is clear that he's playing in standard tuning by choice and acknowledges Richards played it differently.
This is one of the best JJF lessons on the internet that actually sounds like the original song. Don't care about the tuning or anything else, it sounds like the song. Well done and thank you!

Try tuning to Eb (EbBbEbEbBbEb(note 2 Ebs on 3rd & 4th strings(trust Me))) Bar 7th for a few strums open for 1 up & 1 down then bar 5th see how you get on. Then 7th down strum x2, open down strum x1,7th down strum x1, 5th down strum x1, open down strum x1, 7th down strum x1, 5th down strum x1, open down strum x1. I`m no expert but try it. What harm can it do?
i would kill to hear the stones play it live to how it sounded in the studio. so raw and slightly detuned, but they dont, and it sounds like crap whenever they play it live. there is definitely a 12 string somewhere buried in that mix, you can hear it around 1:30, (super jangly) one of the guitars is capoed or something in order to make that sort of sitar sound in a way...you can hear a little fret buzz in the riff. it is a damn mystery to how it was all recorded...nothing else sounds like it..
@clive388 The sound on the original studio recording was achieved using a six string steel string acoustic guitar recorded on an early cassette recorder and played back as the main guitar track alongside the bass and drums. The distortion due to the primitive cassette player is what gives the guitar its distinctive sound. Keef also used this unorthodox technique to achieve the distinctive guitar sound on Street Fighting Man.
What Shape barre are you using? I'm using E and that works fine but that transition where you use your thumb is too quick for me to work out what yr doing. Any clues? Thanks again for an awesome video. :-)
Thanks so much. Never take this down(midnight rambler also) I am just learning to play.I finally picked it up just so I could learn to play these incredible songs.I think the only time this was ever played this way was once when originaly recorded.If I learn to play this and 'rambler half as good as this I'll be stoked. You break it down nice and easy looking. Playing a Schecter diamond Pete Townshend. Thx Thx Thx.....
Effing "A"! Tremendous. I have just started taking guitar playing seriously. Your teaching style will turn me into a Stone (or a Justin Sosa). Thank you very much for the lesson.
very nice....i'm a begginner and need stuff shown to me in standard tuning and as easy as possible...best vid i've seen on making this song easy...thanks
thank you for keeping it in standard tunining! Im so sick of all these versions of songs with capos all over the place and retarded tunings set in. people need to leave shit alone. theres no need to have 17 guitars on stage with you, each in some oddball tuning for each song. or one guitar you constantly have to change tunings with.
In R & R Circus, Brian Jones' guitar is turned down a bit compared to Keith's, but not entirely absent from the mix. And I just wanted to point out that the way this guy plays the main riff is exactly what Brian & Keith play in that performance.
Richards is a liar. He played bass on the record. Jones played most of the guitars. That's why it never sounded right after he died. Wyman played organ. Wyman & Brian Jones wrote the music, Jagger wrote the lyrics. For 20 years Richards claimed he played slide guitar on 'No Expectations'. In 1989 Jagger blurted during an interview that it was Brian Jones on No Expectations, not Keith. The music for Ruby Tuesday was written by Jones. No wonder he was a wreck, dealing with those two.
u can clearly see jones playing slide on no expectations on rock n roll circus....i really think richards made this one...figured out the tunning of the original...and so on. Wyman played organ and keith had to play bass and guitar cause jones wasn't interested in the stones anymore
In Led Zeppelin, when someone composed a riff or passage, they got a songwriting credit regardless. Jones and Wyman did far more and were told to fuck off. That may be why Richards is so cagey in interviews about what guitars or what tuning were used for this.
You don't know what you're talking about: Keith Richards played bass on Symapthy for the Devil. Bill Wyman claims to have written the 'hook' for Jumpin' Jack Flash. By the time Jumpin' Jack Flash/Beggars Banquet were released Brian wan't much use to anyone. He was even worse by the time Let it Bleed was recorded. Brian and Keith played guitar 'interchangably' until 1967 when Brian's drug use started taking its toll. When he turned up to sessions, he'd just dribble on himself.
i don't get where this weird brain jones myth that he led the musical direction and was cheated came from. all of the famous stones' riffs are in open tunings, which is something that richards developed in 68'. he developed a distinctive style with open tunings, and continued to record in the same style on songs like "brown sugar", "start me up",and "tumblin' dice" after brains' death. you can't just steal a style and instantly start comeing up with riffs as good as those, it's the same person.
@Eulanugent Nanker was a name the Stones gave to a funny facial expression that they used to pull. Phelge was the surname of a flatmate that Jagger/Richards and Jones shared a house with in the early days of The Stones. From this they named their publishing company Nanker Phelge. They also credited some group compositions to Nanker Phelge.
@mcashlv wow, never knew about this.. it proofs that keith isn't a good guitarist, sound of rolling stones dramatically changed after Brians death, yeah. even these days Keith is being dickhead fussing about Brian's part in a band.
@Eulanugent right, right. dont get excited over misspelled words, maybe english is your first language. but not for me... maestro?? who the hell are you talking about? and stop making crapy jokes over dead person
@mcashlv Mate,,,, You're talking out of your arse. Keith played bass on one or two Stones records. (Sympathy for the devil being one, and he also played the guitar on it too).. You're just talking shit, idolising a dead man, who, although a good slide guitarist, was a fucking wrecked up piece of shit that tried to fuck the band up and never turned up to recording sessions etc. Get your fucking facts right.
That's right Madbert-Elmore aka Brian Jones was a pompous little dandy-who even Keef Richards(!!) -HELLO!-said was wasted all the time. Now that is saying something.
Sure-Keith brought open tunings to RnR-before that it was used in traditional blues.KR can play standard tunings. He did all the guitar parts on Beggars Banquet-cuz Jones was too wasted.
He has forgotten more than these twats will ever know.
Angie....
And that open tuning sound is instantly recognizable as Keef.
To expand the point of my earlier post, I've now discovered that Keith actually completely changed the riff from the studio version ([B5][B5]E-F#[A5] in standard tuning) to ([B5][B5]A-B[D5] in open-G tuning/4th position), and THAT'S why he then omitted the original intro, because it no longer works with the newer version. (I've always wondered why the intro was discontinued live.) The chorus remains the same ([D][A][E][B]). I've never heard this fact noted before. Check it out for yourselves!
Right! I always loved the intro with its half-acoustic/half-electric sound (via overloaded cassette recorder), and I sorely missed it after it was discontinued live as early as the '69 Hyde Park concert when Keith switched to open-G. But I tried playing the intro with the "new" riff and it doesn't quite work, so hence the discarded intro. For their parts, Mick Taylor chugged along in a Chuck Berry shuffle rhythm guitar, and Ronnie Wood does his best to play the fills like the studio version.
You're right that Keith played this song one way in the studio and then another way live. I researched and found that Keith most likely used standard tuning on the studio version with the B5 chord at the 7th fret position, because you can see him playing it this way on the earliest videos around 1968, including The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus. But as early as the Stones' July '69 Hyde Park concert, Keith had already changed his method to open-G capoed at the 4th fret position.
If you say its in std. tuning - you don't need to say all the open tunings its not (waste of time).
You should play the B chord in the 7th fret position - that way you can ring the high E string like on the studio version. If you're gonna do it on the 2nd fret position - try and ring the open high E - you will like it.
Keith played both Jumpin Jack Flash and Street Fighting Man on an electric guitar overloaded through an amp in the studio... giving it a distinct sound. I get this according to multiple biographies of Richards.

That is a really interesting video.
I play it in standard tuning as well because I hate detuning my guitar.
But I have always played it like on Get Your Ya Yas out, which I now realise is a different riff!!!
The version in this video (studio) sounds so much better.
Keith live plays bah-bah, dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah as B5 - D5 chords (I think).
The studio is B5 - A5
This is way better, and I now realise the studio version does this thanks to this video.
I know that was a bit of a ramble.

What Shape barre are you using? I'm using E and that works fine but that transition where you use your thumb is too quick for me to work out what yr doing. Any clues? Thanks again for an awesome video. :-)

Thanks so much. Never take this down(midnight rambler also) I am just learning to play.I finally picked it up just so I could learn to play these incredible songs.I think the only time this was ever played this way was once when originaly recorded.If I learn to play this and 'rambler half as good as this I'll be stoked. You break it down nice and easy looking. Playing a Schecter diamond Pete Townshend. Thx Thx Thx.....

thank you for keeping it in standard tunining! Im so sick of all these versions of songs with capos all over the place and retarded tunings set in. people need to leave shit alone. theres no need to have 17 guitars on stage with you, each in some oddball tuning for each song. or one guitar you constantly have to change tunings with.

In R & R Circus, Brian Jones' guitar is turned down a bit compared to Keith's, but not entirely absent from the mix. And I just wanted to point out that the way this guy plays the main riff is exactly what Brian & Keith play in that performance.

Richards is a liar. He played bass on the record. Jones played most of the guitars. That's why it never sounded right after he died. Wyman played organ. Wyman & Brian Jones wrote the music, Jagger wrote the lyrics. For 20 years Richards claimed he played slide guitar on 'No Expectations'. In 1989 Jagger blurted during an interview that it was Brian Jones on No Expectations, not Keith. The music for Ruby Tuesday was written by Jones. No wonder he was a wreck, dealing with those two.

As was Jones visible playing slide on "No Expectations" during Rolling Stones Circus film of '68.
flexyco 2 years ago
u can clearly see jones playing slide on no expectations on rock n roll circus....i really think richards made this one...figured out the tunning of the original...and so on. Wyman played organ and keith had to play bass and guitar cause jones wasn't interested in the stones anymore
PurpreEtoile 2 years ago
In Led Zeppelin, when someone composed a riff or passage, they got a songwriting credit regardless. Jones and Wyman did far more and were told to fuck off. That may be why Richards is so cagey in interviews about what guitars or what tuning were used for this.

You don't know what you're talking about: Keith Richards played bass on Symapthy for the Devil. Bill Wyman claims to have written the 'hook' for Jumpin' Jack Flash. By the time Jumpin' Jack Flash/Beggars Banquet were released Brian wan't much use to anyone. He was even worse by the time Let it Bleed was recorded. Brian and Keith played guitar 'interchangably' until 1967 when Brian's drug use started taking its toll. When he turned up to sessions, he'd just dribble on himself.
little9big8horn7 1 year ago
i don't get where this weird brain jones myth that he led the musical direction and was cheated came from. all of the famous stones' riffs are in open tunings, which is something that richards developed in 68'. he developed a distinctive style with open tunings, and continued to record in the same style on songs like "brown sugar", "start me up",and "tumblin' dice" after brains' death. you can't just steal a style and instantly start comeing up with riffs as good as those, it's the same person.

Eulanugent 1 year ago
@Eulanugent Nanker was a name the Stones gave to a funny facial expression that they used to pull. Phelge was the surname of a flatmate that Jagger/Richards and Jones shared a house with in the early days of The Stones. From this they named their publishing company Nanker Phelge. They also credited some group compositions to Nanker Phelge.

@mcashlv Mate,,,, You're talking out of your arse. Keith played bass on one or two Stones records. (Sympathy for the devil being one, and he also played the guitar on it too).. You're just talking shit, idolising a dead man, who, although a good slide guitarist, was a fucking wrecked up piece of shit that tried to fuck the band up and never turned up to recording sessions etc. Get your fucking facts right.

@maddbert
That's right Madbert-Elmore aka Brian Jones was a pompous little dandy-who even Keef Richards(!!) -HELLO!-said was wasted all the time. Now that is saying something.
Sure-Keith brought open tunings to RnR-before that it was used in traditional blues.KR can play standard tunings. He did all the guitar parts on Beggars Banquet-cuz Jones was too wasted.
He has forgotten more than these twats will ever know.

And that open tuning sound is instantly recognizable as Keef.

JerusalemOsteopath 2 years ago
To expand the point of my earlier post, I've now discovered that Keith actually completely changed the riff from the studio version ([B5][B5]E-F#[A5] in standard tuning) to ([B5][B5]A-B[D5] in open-G tuning/4th position), and THAT'S why he then omitted the original intro, because it no longer works with the newer version. (I've always wondered why the intro was discontinued live.) The chorus remains the same ([D][A][E][B]). I've never heard this fact noted before. Check it out for yourselves!
DDEENY 2 years ago
I've always wondered myself as the intro is so great!
sdcalaca 2 years ago
Right! I always loved the intro with its half-acoustic/half-electric sound (via overloaded cassette recorder), and I sorely missed it after it was discontinued live as early as the '69 Hyde Park concert when Keith switched to open-G. But I tried playing the intro with the "new" riff and it doesn't quite work, so hence the discarded intro. For their parts, Mick Taylor chugged along in a Chuck Berry shuffle rhythm guitar, and Ronnie Wood does his best to play the fills like the studio version.

cuoregenoatoromerda 2 years ago
why?
Stiletto92 2 years ago
You're right that Keith played this song one way in the studio and then another way live. I researched and found that Keith most likely used standard tuning on the studio version with the B5 chord at the 7th fret position, because you can see him playing it this way on the earliest videos around 1968, including The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus. But as early as the Stones' July '69 Hyde Park concert, Keith had already changed his method to open-G capoed at the 4th fret position.
DDEENY 2 years ago
If you say its in std. tuning - you don't need to say all the open tunings its not (waste of time).
You should play the B chord in the 7th fret position - that way you can ring the high E string like on the studio version. If you're gonna do it on the 2nd fret position - try and ring the open high E - you will like it.

Keith played both Jumpin Jack Flash and Street Fighting Man on an electric guitar overloaded through an amp in the studio... giving it a distinct sound. I get this according to multiple biographies of Richards.
