Jumping Jack Flash - Rolling Stones.AVI

In open D with a capo at the second fret: DADF#AD

I read an interview with Keith where he said this is how he recorded it, with a Hummingbird acoustic. But I don't think he's ever played it live this way.

As for the riff, there are a hundred ways to play it, and I came up with this.

great cover but i find it weird how keith recorded it on a hummingbird cuz you can hear keiths part but it doesnt sound acoustic maybe acoustic electric

[privettricker]

@LedZepMan97 He ran the acoustic through a portable cassette recorder, using the mic on that recorder and running that through the board. That's how he got the tone.

@Bossness123 I don't know, I've never met him.

@Spirenn He's used open G onstage, but he didn't on the studio recording.

brilliant

[cyhmknocking]

found a more straightforward way to play the main riff: bar across the EAD strings at the 9th fret, then A string at the 7th and the 9th fret, and D string at the 7th. I think Keef did it this way, because the refrain ends and the riff starts with the same note, so why change the fingering and the fret when you don't have to?

@privettricker Douche is a perfectly acceptable word to use.

@loganbramhall1989 Sorry, I just didn't know what the word "douchey" meant. You know, because I'm a grown-up and everything. You can go back to playing your video games and let the grown-ups play some music. So long, troll.

@privettricker let me say it more clearly STOP BEING SUCH A DOUCHE

[privettricker]

@loganbramhall1989 Wow, I wish I knew what you were talking about.

[loganbramhall1989]
