[SkunkWorksVideo]

markybgoode you rock!

[sga3532]

great stuff mark. more stones!!!

[findlj]

Open E tuning is good for the intro, but when you get to the solo, standard tuning is much easier.

[sga3532]

Really like your stuff mark.  gracias.

[Mariya7sexy]

I found part two awsome....you rock as a teacher, so easy to watch.....keep it up for us players wanting to be better at it.......

my favorite song been listening to it since 69 at least azillion times been playing guitar since i heard satisfaction in 64 no insight to this one you really started me up as i am the greatest rolling stones fan ever thanks

[shmutzydawg]

HEY,,I thought this was played in regular tuning..was the originalplayed in open e,,then keith played it later on in open g?? then again later in regular tuning..confused on this song

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

@shmutzydawg I play it in open E works pretty good and sounds good too with a small bit of tremelo on the opening.

[markybgoode]

@SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1: Absolutely, the Tremolo is where its at!!

[dannyhood66]

Dude i just wish someone would play this right at first, instead of talking,''all i have to do is watch your fingers...I don't know why someone can not play this on a video?

[charlesrcurbo]

Sounds Real Good. I try to play everything in standard and you can usually approximate the sound, but you just cannot get it perfect unless you play it in the original recording tuning. Good lesson.

[grndtikal]

Thanks for mentioning the tuning and pedal settings. I wish everyone did that.

[BRANNIGANJO]

fantastic. so love this song and you explained it very clearly, awesome

[markybgoode]

@BRANNIGANJO: Thank S'much!

[upyoursutube]

long cool woman in a black dress intro if your up for it

[annahelena58]

Thanks. I love this song and with your help I hope to play it as well as you. . . someday.

[markybgoode]

Thanks. Not the easiest song to play but not the hardest either. Good luck, I know you can do it!

[fkguitar]

it's interesting to note that although this was the way it was played on the original recording, if you look at all the video of both The Stones and Keith solo performing the song Keith NEVER plays it this way...nor does hew ever play it the same way twice!

[ROtotheB]

they do improvise a lot, for me thats what makes watching them live fantastic. a lot like clapton!

[12stringsforme]

There are so many tabs and demos of this, and this is the first one I see that wasn't garbage. That may sound harsh but for some reason this song, and some other RS songs suffer a lot from bogus tabs.

[markybgoode]

I hope it's helped you learn to play the song.

[x22steve]

Thanks a lot. That is a fantastic lesson. I love the Stones and would like to play a bunch of their songs. Please post more lessons, or if you have a website where you give lessons, let us know.

[12stringsforme]

It would be nice if we could list all the open-E open-D songs we can think of . . . . there are quite a few Richards songs from this era using these tunings. Some Elmore James . . . but what else I'm not sure.

[markybgoode]

Open E tuning is my favorite open tuning of all time. Let's see: No Expectations, Jigsaw Puzzle (slide guitar), Prodigal Son, Salt of the Earth, all from BEGGARS BANQUET use Open E tuning. Jumping Jack Flash is also in Open E. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin often used open tunings, but that's another story.

[12stringsforme]

I saw a tab someplace for Stray Cat Blues, also open E.

My Hal Leanord edition of "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes lists "It's Too Late" guitar part I as Open E.

The most convincing JJF lesson on utube uses standard tuning no capo as per the original recording. Look in my favorites. However guitar 2 or 3 in that may be open E, there have been umpteen different tab interpretations.

Maybe tell us your thoughts on that track.

[markybgoode]

The guitar I'm playing is a Gretsch Duo Jet

[TheBeatlesfan1991]

what kind of guitar is that . it kinda looks like a les paul of a gresch

[mouseisi77]

Great lesson, thank you. What key is the lead in?  Is it C# minor or E?

[markybgoode]

Thanks for your comments. C# minor pentatonic is used for the solo.

[cybercow222]

Y re the man!

[sherberg924]

you've been an amazing tutor! There are a bunch of mediocre tutorials of this legendary song and none of which were as in depth as yours.I just want to thank you for this video and your time - i will certainly flaunt my new guitar skills to my dad (who has seen the rolling stones over 3 times)

[markybgoode]

Thanks for your comments. I'm a professional guitar tutor with lots of experience. That's the difference between me and most tutors on You Tube. Plus I love the Stones!
