Thanks again! These licks/chords are wicked. Do you think Keith and Ronnie were geniuses, or, they were just stoned out of their minds and these came up after much noodlings?

@yearofthecat2011 I think they were geniuses. And I also think they were stoned out of their minds.

Do you play any other Stones songs from their seventies period?

@theplourde Click on my name under the title of the song. That will take you to my channel.

Hey there, great video and was very helpful. I have a question about the last chord in the profession tho. Would the progression not be E, B, C#m, and lastly A? I guess my thought is that the last part where you're hammering on from the C#m, you're building a C open chord shaped A, no? I've not watched to see how Keith plays it nor looked at tabs, I'm just curious. No offense intended, just a question. Thanks again for the video and let me know what u think? I'm prob wrong.

@jconway010 That would be an A maj7.

remember guys - most guitarists are lazy/stoned/drunk/bored - do the minimum you need to to vagueley play along - no big barre chords just some lazy D G B stuff - play it over and over like 500 times unti you are really bored and your hand aches then you will start to play like a pro/keith/ronnie - kinda lazy. And it will sound right.

Very good lesson!

I don't suppose there's any chance of you showing us how you play that little solo after the second chorus is there?

[copndonut]

Thank you!  Nicely done!

Beautiful Guitar.

great lesson,you are good at teaching. I really like the way you explain things and you hold ur fingers on the guitar well so we can catch a good visual of the chords.It took me a little bit to be able to hammer on the bar chord, i suppose in the future if i feel like i cant do it on spot ill up pick it the song dosnt countain a lot of chords but the are a little bit akward in my opinion and its amazing how diferent and (bad)they can sound together if a few wrong strings are hit or timing is off
