START ME UP (with out open G tuning)

Here is how you can get away with playing Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones and not have to re-tune your guitar.

Getting the sound right is just a very short DELAY and a suttle CHORUS in the back ground with some OVER DRIVE.

The Chords are: C F Bb Eb, for a powerful version of the song

Well music is about making you own sound, so I added my sound to a classic. Who could step into Keith shoes??

Nice Guitar Bro! Gotta love the Tele's but Open G is a must.. It's the heart of the Stones. Wanna get real technical? completely take off the low E cause Keith doesn't use it! Doesn't even exist on his '52 Micawber. (Telecaster)

Quoting Keith.. "We play Rock N Roll... You want otherwise.. Go to the Orchestra!"

With that said.. Nice run at it with standard tuning!

I dig the sound you got, man. Personally, I'm too lazy to tune to open G, so I play the C-major chord on the D, G, and B strings, which gives you a similar zing and you can get the high notes in almost the same...

Thanks man! It isn't perfect, but it sounds good.

i believe you could get by playing this in front of a crowded bar. only those of us who play would actually think twice abouit it. I have done a few Stones covers over the years and worked up "good enough" standard tuning versions. it's not always convenient to have multiple axes on stage at small gigs. i agree, for purists, you have to tune open... but this would get you by. i'm sure.

@Daveygogo1 like i said was just my opinion i ment no disrespect
