Guitar Lesson: 5 Classic Keith Richards Riffs

[TheLooseCovers]

Could you explain what settings you used on the Zoom G2 (or G2.1u) and your amp, for the 6 tracks, please: the tone you get is great! Apologies if you've done this elsewhere. Thanks.

[Hoodrio]

@TheLooseCovers I can't recall exactly, but typically for lessons my PRRI is set around 2.5 volume, 4.5 treble, 7 bass, 2 reverb, no trem; and the G2 has some tape echo and maybe a little compression. On this lesson the tone is probably more due to the Route 66 pedal's overdrive and/or compression.

[TheLooseCovers]

@Hoodrio Thanks very much for the quick reply. I use a Zoom G2.1u (it has an expression pedal built in) as part of a rig with other pedals for gigging and practice, and we do a few Stones songs so I'll experiment along those lines you indicate. Thanks again.

[PowerTwang]

Great insight on Keith's style!

[coneful]

you ar not a terrible singer... i love the way you did it...

[keoki22]

great vid thanks

[theplourde]

Can you explain the order of in which that main riff for beast of burden goes?

Is it: B E B (3 times) then a C sharp minor then an A chord at the 9th fret

[Hoodrio]

@theplourde No, it's B to E (4 times total), then B to C#m, then an E to A chord at the 9th fret.

[buzzfuzz146]

thank you so much for such a great lesson on part of history. Growing up in that error the Stones were an influential part of my life.

[Doomcan]

Very well done lesson. Point of interest: 'Slave' and 'Hand Of Fate' were actually both conceived during the sessions for 'Black & Blue'.

[kcuhcsniknej]

thanks for Slave. Love it, long live Keef

[zimmats]

another great lesson. have you heard (ex-replacements frontman) Paul Westerberg's solo stuff on Vagrant records? "Mono" and "Come Feel Me Tremble" in particular have great stonesy riffs all over them.

[Projoiner1]

Great looking lesson, thanks for sharing.

Cheers

[4stickdog]

Really Nice. I'll be playing a couple of these out this weekend just from what I learned from you.

Thank you so much - I owe you a beer! :-)

[999Atwood]

Great ! Now do a half hour Mick Taylor solo...

[guitarDad100]

Excellent. Keep up the great video lessons.

[jbeveridge]

Very nice - you inspired me to plug in my Casino

[chinacat63]

thanks, ... Can't Always Get sounds great with the capo, never tried that!

[musicmatty67]

I have that zoom G2.1u pedal..it pro sound in my opinion..lots of tweaks can be done to craft just the right sound.

[Hoodrio]

@musicmatty67

Yes, I meant to clarify that comment, because I actually LOVE the Zoom G2. What I was really trying to get across was that I didn't spend any time dialing in the phaser, so it surely did not accurately represent what the pedal is capable of.

[musicmatty67]

Thanks for the lesson's. Great gear combo !
