Rip This Joint - Rolling Stones

[jbrown1169]

Thanks for the video, I totally know how to play it now. I don't know why, but even though I love this song I never learned to play it. I think it just sounds really hard and intimidating (and I'm not nearly as good a player as you) so I didn't bother with it. It SOUNDS hard, but it's actually pretty damn simple. With open G and the capo it's actually ridiculously easy as long as you can keep that rhythm up.

[SordidMike]

you dont need the capo in this song

[TL250Rider]

Is this Guitar one of the 60's Telecasters?

This is great.

[privettricker]

@TL250Rider It's a '68 reissue. 

[sciencekiller7689]

Do you ever take the low E string off like Keith does to play?

[privettricker]

@sciencekiller7689 No, I generally just ignore the low E string when I'm in open G. I usually don't even bother to tune it down to D, I just don't strum it.

[sciencekiller7689]

@privettricker I understand. That's a bad ass hoodie, what brand is it?

Thanks.

[thisissway]

how did you learn all this stuff

[privettricker]

@thisissway Sat down with a guitar in my lap and started playing. But it ain't exactly rocket science. :)

[thisissway]

@privettricker you are hell of a good guitar player

[loic74]

@privettricker

did you just listen to the track? how to you get the rhythm down?

[smautomat]

@privettricker: Yeah, it's only rock and roll - but we like it!

[fury3600]

nice cover, btw im diggin that sweater

[shango02005]

Great job, man! Thanks a lot for posting this! It's much easier than I expected. Thanks again!

[privettricker]

@shango02005 They usually are.

[jverlander35]

beautiful sounding guitar

[gittahfiend]

Is that you Keith?

[privettricker]

@gittahfiend No, I'm Keith's chief bottle washer. 

[Skrotnisse275]

What settings have you on the guitar and amp?

[georgeion58]

@Skrotnisse275 first its called tuning second it clearly says up dgdgbd which is the exile on main street tuning

[Skrotnisse275]

@georgeion58 I can read! But I meant what settings he uses. Pickups, tone, gain and such

[B7aug5]

@georgeion58

My friend, it's called open G Sevastopol (or sebastapol) tuning with a voicing of 5-1-5-1-3-5 or D-G-D-G-B-D. Vestapol, on the other hand is the E tuning style and the like. Voicing is: 1-5-1-3-5-1 or E-B-E-G#-B-E.

Hope that helps. and hope I got it right ;-)

[georgeion58]

@B7aug5 or simpler its: dgdgbd

[B7aug5]

@georgeion58

Yes, we agree on that, you posted it, above. The purpose of my post was to demonstrate the variant, not the actual key and to expose the proper terms for these two tuning styles. I have a copy of Guitar Player from about 1990... Has Keith on the cover. Inside are about 110 possible guitar tunings. You can see that the 1-3-5 triad is the basic idea, no matter what order. George Harrison liked the D7 tuning. Used by John in For You Blue.

[georgeion58]

amazing dude.... can u tell us where we can tabs for it?

[privettricker]

@georgeion58 Sorry, I don't read or write tabs.

[thenamesbender10]

Any chance on you showing us how to play Stop Breaking Down off of exile? Love the videos!!! Keep posting, thanks!!

[hpeter59]

..utterly brill, matey... I play a Gibson four string from 1966 myself..

Well done...

[lookylooky2006]

If you know the lead for STar Star that would be great if you could that

thanks

your stones jams are in fact excellent

shhhhaaaaa dooooooo beeee

[woodwardianOH]

Many thanks - I have been searching for this sound for a long time and you have nailed it.

[camper88]

Sweet, thanks for this. Made my day.

[PofftheMagicPhotog]

LOVE the pink paisley tele. And...you play it like it's meant to be played. Keep rockin'

[stonesmad]

Outstanding!

[JSWhite92]

What kind of guitar are you playing?

[privettricker]

@JSWhite92 That's a 68 Telecaster reissue.

[torrototin]

me encanta esta cancion ......

esta chevere

[davejviking]

Love it

[MinivanMegafun100]

Man, you've got a great ear for picking out the key and the capo placement. This is a song that Keith has described as on of the tougher ones to do because of the speed.

[privettricker]

Especially onstage, when Keith would start it off at 90 miles an hour.

[JaviLopez981]

As all your Stones songs...Great!!

Could we make requests on certain tracks?? XD

[privettricker]

Yes, you can make requests -- as long as they're songs I like...and already know how to play!

[JaviLopez981]

i would like to watch you playing Dance from Emotional Rescue album or maybe the cover they made for Just My Imagnation on Some Girls...i think they are both great tunes with some interesting gutar fills i can´t figure at all...so maybe you could help me

Cheers

[chinacat63]

anything off of "Exile" rocks!

thanks!
