I remember also Jumpin' Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Moonlight MIle (Mick Taylor's playing but based on a Keith's lick), Silver Train to name a few... I'm sure there are more. Anyway, I haven't commented on a video of yours before, although I'm watching your stuff for a long time, so thank you for sharing your knowledge! You're accurate and a great player, I've learned and I'm sure many others, a lot. keep up.
Hey, man, thanks. HTW and Silver Train are *perfect* examples. I just wan't thinking open-G, for some reason. Thanks again for writing, and for watching!
@MrMelBelli I realised after I wrote that comment, that you had in mind standard tuning since all the songs u covered here are in that and all the tunes I mentioned are in open ones. To be honest I'm not too knowledgeable in music theory,never heard of pedal tones before but it seemed to me that maybe this is what's all about in open tunings; immitating the big sound of a piano.
@sharkyjoe77 Pretty sure that "pedal tone" for keyboard players is a note they're playing with their feet. Since guitars obviously don't have pedals (well, except for the pedal-steel!), it's just a metaphor for a note that functions like a pedal tone.
@MrMelBelli I remembered that blues guitarists (Robert Johnson for instance) were "stealing" piano players' techniques so maybe there is a connection. What do you think?
