It's "Women" - plural. Always was, always will be.

@Toner12 But I did a little research and discovered that most people search "Woman" and I wanted the video to come up for these search results. ;)

Not going to jump in on the open G debate here, except to say that damn near everything played in open tunings can be played in standard tuning-only certain tonal and harmonic characteristics are more emphasized in one tuning than another. That being said, the guitar in this vid is horribly out of tune. Also, if you go back and listen carefully to the studio version of this tune, I think you'll discover it's actually played in G#.

[GuitarMusicTheoryTab]

@Nyquilcoma I purposely ignored the recording and left my guitar in standard tuning so that viewers didn't have to re-tune to me.

[cgraber]

If its not in Open G tuning its wrong right off the bat. You cannot get the open ring from the High E (now G) which is how the intro is played. This is a bad bad lesson for beginning guitar players. Keith simultaneously plays the lick on the G and D strings while plucking the open high E (now G) at the same time to get a chorus ringing effect. Its 101 for Open G playing, which is what you should be learning first before playing most songs recorded in the 1968-1972 period of the Stones.

@cgraber This is not intended to be an accurate demonstration of how the original recording was played. I use this as an example of how to use major pentatonic scale patterns to play country style licks.

get yourself tuned man

[alangriff1]

If all you guys think that the gats out of tune ,I suggest you get a hearing check right away!

[raysmusic49]

Thank u for sharing......I hate negative comments...Everyone needs to realize there's more than one way to do the same thing on guitar...Lots of poetic license...

[cosbyutube]

as for the video i think you did a good job.

[cosbyutube]

i couldn't teach Keith how to play this in standard tuning. he just doesn't get it. like the man said........ you can play most songs in standard tuning, so if you EVER got to play LIVE , meaning not in your basement, you wouldn't have the crowd leave cause you're tuning to open G & back to standard. improvise people. learn what works for you. not for other people.

[DonniDeVille]

Thanks! This was easy and fun to learn. I play rhythm guitar, but this little riff sounds great! Thanks!

[rockmindmusic]

very well explained, thanks a lot.
