[privettricker]

@fensterchunster Check my channel for a full lesson on how to play this. In fact, it should be in the related items on the right column of this page.

[HBK2190]

@privettricker did u use any pedals for this specific part?

[privettricker]

@HBK2190 No pedals.

[coolcatjerk]

@privettricker just a little too much treble.... excellent otherwise

[privettricker]

@coolcatjerk I actually thought it wasn't quite enough!

[jordidwdw]

[Theguitarplayer007]

@jordidwdw what?

[kevmilla]

[TheHardrocker35]

I love the sound of your guitar(:

[bciocanea]

I am trying hard to get the Keith Richards' tone for this solo and i can't. I have a squier strat and a digitech rp70 multiefect. Can anyone help? Thanks.

PS: good performance man, I also tried to play this according to the tabs available on the internet but your version is the best.

[Gewok666]

Thanks so much :) I really wanted to play this, and in 7 minutes I now can!

[GogoBoyMJ]

Oh Yeah man great cover !!

[carva9]

that's very cool maybe even better than Keef on concert

[TheF86Sabre]

Tree people are a percentage point away from the peter griffin retarded line...

[veggieroyale]

Who the hell disliked this?!

[MultiMusicMind]

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

What's your amp and settings because that tone is sublime.

[TheGrandario]

Hey, great video. Sounds like original :) Can you tell me what effects did you use?

[lsufan9999]

Can you please send me the tabs? Thanks man, GREAT COVER!

[privettricker]

@lsufan9999 Sorry, I don't read or write tabs. But I did post a lesson on how to play this. Just check my channel.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

no wonder they brought Mick Taylor in lol

[konshess]

[grossdale1]

[privettricker]

@grossdale1 Check my channel.

[Claptonisgod777]

Could You Please tab this. The ones on other websites dont all sound right, if you can tab it, send a message to my account. Thanks, Claptonisgod777

[MrMdmilitaria]

it took me a day to learn this from you,,,i have problems with the last part before the e string slide down,,getting the timing...great job man,,,and u are responsible for me spending money on tons of new gear after leaving the guitar 15 years ago lol,,I bought a vox night train with cab.

[TheBrianStones]

wow , it's perfect

[mcca7400]

you play the best covers on you tube

[v2vroth]

That was great!

[privettricker]

@v2vroth Credit goes to Keef.

[v2vroth]

@privettricker Yes indeed!

[diegodelap]

you definetely need a gibson for playing that haha

[wadems]

Nice!!

[MMAFan2211]

Great!!

[Mikespyke]

you play with much passion man keep it up

[idigcars]

On the money..

[tborstmayer]

awesome vibrato

[diegoabcdefghijklmno]

which setting you use on amplifier

you can tell me only the gain and treble middle bass please?

thanks

and talk if you want

[privettricker]

For this one, I'd probably set them around:

Gain  5

Treble 8

Bass 6

Middle 2

[barenhof]

LOL only 2242 people watched this great Copy of a fantastic solo

[maikinno]

that's not very hard to ear that he's not playing...

and by the way .. i play the solo and i can say that he's not on the good fret at the begining...

[privettricker]

Dude....check my channel.

[j66hng]

Superb!!!!!

[privettricker]

It's a shame Keith pretty much gave up playing solos when Mick Taylor came along. I've always thought he was a fantastic soloist.

[202pdiddy]

@privettricker I totally agree. KR knows what a few simple notes can do. The Sympathy solo is a perfect example.

[maikinno]

is that a joke ?

Your'e not playing at all !

But .. nice guitar ;-)

[JordyT008]

haha

you really think hes not playing?

[onfire1957]

You've nailed the tone preety well - what is your setup if you don't mind my asking?

[privettricker]

Thanks. It's just straight through a Marshall 50-watt half-stack. No effects or anything.

Keith recorded it with a LP Custom, which you can see in the Sympathy for the Devil film. I think he played through a WEA or Ampeg or something.

[onfire1957]

Cool, thanks.

[dommmmo]

ignore previous comment, i have learnt it thanks to the video. thank you

[dommmmo]

Hey, great video and i love the solo, is there any chance what soever of a tab or a slowed down tutorial version. i am relatively new to guitar and this is one of my favourite songs and i wanna know how to play this bit so badly. no worries if you can't though but it is a great video

[tomdaveybassist]

i learnt this solo 5mins after watching this vid its really easy :)

[privettricker]

So glad to hear that.

Keith doesn't play technically difficult stuff, but every note he plays is gold.

[REB2456]

could you tell me how? i cant tell from this video (no offense)

[privettricker]

Tell you what?

[REB2456]

how to play the solo. i tried looking up the tab but it didn't help. maybe you could send me your own tab our something?

[faaradar]

Thanks.

[koolythang]

OK. i see it now - you're not actually playing the very first section. Only landing on the last note. it's a tough part

[privettricker]

Huh? Not playing the first section?

[privettricker]

Incidentally, that's just a pick sweep across the top notes of the Em.

It's not a tough part at all, but it is a good illustration of Keith's sensibilities in 1968.

[koolythang]

haha! very good. do you have tabs for this?

[privettricker]

Sorry, I don't write or read tabs. But as you can see, this one sounds more complicated than it really is.

Of course, that's what makes Keef so brilliant.

[koolythang]

OK. That was Keith. Now you play it

[privettricker]

I can prove it was me. Look -- no track marks!
