For those who want to play this fun riff.

Guitar is in OPEN G

From the 1971 album Sticky Fingers.

I had forgotten to mention in the video that this version I am playing is based more on the way Keith had played it live during the Licks tour in 2003. Compared to the studio version---the guitar part is less complicated and intricate. It may sound off to many people if you are comparing it to the studio version. I was more exposed to the Live version--which is easier (lazier!) and straightforward. Either way...what I have here is the foundation of the riff. Get this down and you can pick up the rest

  • The difference between this version and the Sticky Fingers version is that you hit some of the notes much sooner than on the original. Its more of a rapidfire version than a lazy one lol. I play it much closer to the original and I use standard tuning. On that subject, the open G tuning I think is not necessary, I wouldnt retune to open G unless I wanted a fuller sound and didnt want to switch guitars. Same thing goes for Brown Sugar.

  • I wish all song on utube were this easy to learn!!! you make it so easy to see, thanks bro!!!

  • Excellent tutorial. Thank u

  • Justin can you to a short video on how Keith plays the riff once the song goes into the Santana, maracas, 2nd half? thanks!

  • Keith always knew how to keep things simple with Open G.. but it rocked big time! Open G has very distinctive sound that immediately when you play it you can't help but think of the Stones! Great Tutorial and you made it easy to learn this one!

    Good Job!

  • NICE MAN !
