That's all good...and all, but you're playing a Dove not bird...just saying. By the way, what happened to all your Lessons vid's? I was a subscriber, but you seem to have gotten more in to showing off than helping other musicians. You are getting away from everything that is suppose to be"cool" about being a musician.

[privettricker]

@robpaige887

1. That's the difference between you and me: I don't give a rat's ass what you or anyone else thinks is "cool."

2. If you think I'm just showing off, then you don't get it. My channel isn't for people like you.

3. If you can't learn from guitar demos, you should probably spend the money for personal lessons.

4. You need to get your sense of entitlement under control. I don't work for you.

5. Just saying.

[Goldmi7]

brilliant

[LedZepMan97]

great cover but i find it weird how keith recorded it on a hummingbird cuz you can hear keiths part but it doesnt sound acoustic maybe acoustic electric

[privettricker]

@LedZepMan97 He ran the acoustic through a portable cassette recorder, using the mic on that recorder and running that through the board. That's how he got the tone.

[cyhmknocking]

found a more straightforward way to play the main riff: bar across the EAD strings at the 9th fret, then A string at the 7th and the 9th fret, and D string at the 7th. I think Keef did it this way, because the refrain ends and the riff starts with the same note, so why change the fingering and the fret when you don't have to?

[rafaultimate69]

can you please tell mewhat strings are you fretting from 0:20 to 0:25??

[mactuber66]

Great work! Trying it out, but can't seem to get the right pitch either using the open D with the capo at 2

[PinkMeddle41]

@mactuber66 Try capoing at the first and play everything a step down

[Davdwe]

Are ya sure it is open D with capo at 2nd? I am there and can't get the sound. Using and ephiphone.

[pennycad123]

its great be would be a lot better if you didnt have the track playing in the background. makes it sound 10 times better than it really is. sorry

[privettricker]

@pennycad123 And the Costellos is your band? Sorry. 

[loganbramhall1989]

@privettricker wow douchey

[privettricker]

@loganbramhall1989 Wow, I wish I knew what you were talking about.

[loganbramhall1989]

@privettricker let me say it more clearly STOP BEING SUCH A DOUCHE

[privettricker]

@loganbramhall1989 Sorry, I just didn't know what the word "douchey" meant. You know, because I'm a grown-up and everything. You can go back to playing your video games and let the grown-ups play some music. So long, troll.

[datkinson50439]

@privettricker Douche is a perfectly acceptable word to use.

[datkinson50439]

@datkinson50439 By the way loved it!

[Horismokufan]

First time i've ever seen this close to the original studio version. two thumbs up sounds great!

[Spirenn]

Keith plays with open G. Your version sounds almost good but we can hear a little something which is wrong

[privettricker]

@Spirenn He's used open G onstage, but he didn't on the studio recording.

[sakalan]

@Spirenn No he doesnt. Live he uses open G, not on the studio version neither on the rock n roll circus version.

[hardrainish]

Thattaway to do it. Spot on studio version. I too have always found it sounds more like the record using an acoustic. I can never seem to get the sound right on an electric, even with a mesa boogie. Who am I to say, but have you tried on the chorus, finger 3 up from the open bar to two up and back to the bar on the top string through the chorus chords? I think another guitar does that on the studio version but if you are on your own it works.

Love your stuff in UK whisky time.

[Bossness123]

Isn't it Jumpin' Jack Flash?

[privettricker]

@Bossness123 I don't know, I've never met him.

[Bossness123]

@privettricker lol, i was honestly on me back laughing! Very funny

[piddlefish]

HA! the happy TOUCAN capo - i never thought i'd see any other than mine - wait a minute, let me check my gig bag..... your all good

[privettricker]

@piddlefish I actually know the guy who invented that capo. Gave me a bunch of them. They're great capos, but they have a shelf life -- after a few years, the plastic can get a little stripped, so it doesn't hold as well. But they're about the only capos I've owned where you don't have to re-tune every time you move the capo up or down the neck.

[SniPzoR7]

Very good sound...nice :)

[MRSOUL]

I dont get it-i've learned it in open e but cant play along with the original-i've messed about with positions but started to assume it was 'between keys'.Yet hear you are.wtf?

[TheMasterofnothing13]

can anyone tell me how 2 tune to f# because me tuner only shows eadgbe

[privettricker]

@TheMasterofnothing13 I've never used a tuner in my life, but you can just find an F# on one of the other strings and tune the G string to that. For example, before you tune the high E string down to D, hit the high E string at the second fret -- that's F#. Tune the G string to that note. Is that what you're asking?

[TheMasterofnothing13]

@privettricker yes and thanks for responding so quick .u realy are the best guitarist on youtube!

[lob287]

@TheMasterofnothing13 Buy a Chromatic tuner 

[STRUMMERBOY1975]

Those New Strings sound Great ! :)

[Jeffreykip]

I think I read the same article- Guitar World Acoustic 2003? I really like the tone you're getting. I can't get the riff right- what are you doing with your first finger? Is it just damping the top two strings?

[privettricker]

@Jeffreykip You mean my thumb? It's not really doing anything during the main riff.

[Jeffreykip]

@privettricker Thanks. I meant the index, but my problem wasn't the fingering, it was that I'd left the guitar in DADGAD instead of DADF#AD and couldn't figure out what was up.

Fantastic strumming. This really makes me want to work on the rhythm of my strumming, it drives the song so much more effectively.

[MrEmmet2]

great stuff man, i used to pay it in open eb, a lot of people did too, but then again keith said open d with capo, you nailed it.

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

Your Capo looks like that tool for drawing circles!

[lob287]

For some reason it is so hard to find the correct tabs for this song.None I have seen have the tuning right.You however nailed it.This is exactly how Keith played it. Thanks

[san5a89]

the 8th with the little finger I think is not made by richard but just by the lead guitar. Richard was very basic!

[09jpick]

I believe that when you capo aguitar in open D @ the 2nd fret you are now in open E.

[privettricker]

@09jpick Yes, open E and open D are the same note intervals, just tuned a step apart.

[sky8895wave]

かっちょいいー、マネするぜ。

[wdysmb]

Hi there: First of all, you are a kick ass guitar player and one of my favorites on YouTube. I'm 52 and have been playing guitar all my life but there's always more to learn and I've learned a lot from watching you! Question on JJF....one of the other guitartists I like on YouTube goes by the name of MyTwangyGuitar. His version of JJF has a crazy tuning...Eb,Bb,Eb,Eb, Bb, Eb. It actually sounds right the way he plays it, but I'd love to know your thoughts on that.

[privettricker]

@wdysmb I've heard of that tuning, a variation on open E, kind of an E5 tuning. But I've never heard of Keith using that particular tuning. Keith has said he used open D with a capo on this, but then I've also read Keith interviews (even in his new book) where he clearly gets the details of tunings wrong.

[wdysmb]

@privettricker Haha, God Bless Keith! We should probably all be grateful for anything he remembers at this point! I like your tuning and version the best though. Gonna give that a try tonight. Thanks again for all the great videos. Hey, I live in Atlanta, let me know if you want to start a band!

[duckyduckmanduck]

Ah god!!! At least somebody who post the real studio version, correct tunning, wonderful interpretation, and as keith deed: recorded on an acoustic guitar!!

i've been searching for that right sound since i began two play guitar!

Cheers man, keep on, your vids, are awesome, and also not only focusing on the well known standard tune, (f.ex your interpretation of stray cat blues is magic!)

[MrMdmilitaria]

Itsn son hard to get a tone for this with an electric,,,

[CoyoteHC]

Yeah! Thanks for learning me the Ubercool rockrollriff!!! Im a total noob at guitar - but I got this - and I feel so totally cool now!!! :-)

[weczq4]

So, if I did this in open G, where would I capo it? (I only have three guitars, one electric in standard tuning, one electric in open G, and an acoustic in open E.) If memory serves well, (and it might not) the fingerings are the same for open G and open D.

[privettricker]

@weczq4 No matter what tuning you use, you'll want to capo it in B. But which fret you put capo on depends on whether you're tuned to 440 and whether the Stones' recording is tuned to 440 -- and I'm not sure if the Stones are tuned that way. The fingerings for open G and open D are not the same. You may be thinking of open G and open A, which are the same.

[weczq4]

@privettricker Ah, ok, gotcha. Thanks! May your e-string never break mid-solo.

[poddubny]

Thanks so much for this and your other videos. Your strumming technique is great, and so useful for us learners to watch. You really get the feel down.

[KevinFitzgerald100]

Hi - I've searched for an accurate version of this song for a long time - I even have a Stones tablature book (standard tuning) which doesn't do the song justice at all. This is a great effort - good playing, using a Capo which is essential and your verse riff is unlike anything I've heard. Well done great job.

[MrBuc128]

That is an awsome guitar a Gibson hummingbird I assume? I love the tone of Gibson acoustics . I have a Gibson Hummingbrd artist myself. It is not as good as that one but it is the best guitar I have ever owned. good job on the song

[privettricker]

@MrBuc128 This one's a Dove, which is a little different from a Hummingbird -- the Dove has maple back/sides as opposed to mahogany. I've owned a couple of Hummingbirds and I loved them. I'd like to pick up another one eventually. Got a warmer tone than the Doves do.

[loveguitars]

Excellent

[brussels73]

How exactly are u playing the main riff?......I've never seen it that way and it sounds great!

[privettricker]

@brussels73 I think the key to the main riff is in the picking rather than the fretting. I start with D string second fret/G string third fret. Then G string first fret while hammering on/off the D string at the second fret. But you kind of have to get a feel for which strings you're picking, to make it sound right. I've seen it played a lot of ways and none of them -- not even Keith's own live versions -- sound like he did it on the original recording.

[jonanjello]

Why does the song remind me of Street Fighting Man? Are they similar?

[privettricker]

@jonanjello Similar in that both were recorded primarily on acoustic guitars and both had the guitars recorded through a hand-held cassette recorder and then from there into the board. Gives the guitars a cool sound.

[jonanjello]

@privettricker

Dude, that's fascinating. Thanks for the insight

[69nisab]

another noob question, sorry. When the tuning is altered from standard does it mean the fingering for usual chords is out the window?

[privettricker]

I'm afraid so.

[midsizedwhiteboy]

No fair...you cheated by using all 6 strings! lol Fantastic.You nailed every part of the recording.

That is bette4r than when I saw the stones in Philly 1975 and 81.Please keep this up; then show me Nicky Hopkins piano techniques for Sympathy,Gimme shelter,etc. Unbelievable because I always did a Bar Chord and played e f# d a as single notes.Tha.nks. pat

[MinivanMegafun100]

Live he plays in open G with capo on the 4th fret.

[privettricker]

Yeah, I've seen him play it that way. But I'd swear he was doing it in standard tuning on the '69 tour.

Just a hunch.

[MinivanMegafun100]

Yeah, if you listen to Rock n' Roll Circus he's playing in standard. It was a pretty short period that he did that.

[69nisab]

Brilliant playing. how does a Dove compare to a Hummingbird?

[privettricker]

A Dove is maple back/sides, a Hummingbird is mahogany.

The Dove has a brighter tone, not as much sustain. A strumming guitar, I don't do much fingerpicking on it.

[stonz82]

Damn man well done...I always played this on Open E.

[privettricker]

Well, in open D with the capo at the second fret, this is the same as open E. The intervals are all the same, just tuned lower.

I kind of agree with Keith, though. I like the sound of a capo, just makes things a little brighter.

[kcuhcsniknej]

genius! can hardly wait to get home and tune my guitar down

[privettricker]

Just be careful to play only the A/D/G strings (although they're not tuned that way) when you play the main riff.
