Well I don't think that's what Keith had on his mind honestly...

@cencor4 I don't know what was on Keith's mind. I haven't read his book yet, and this isn't based on anything I've seen him play.

[tap4154]

I'm glad you guys you are getting some use out of this. I can't remember where I learned it, I think a guitar magazine or book had it tabbed out.

@tap4154 Richards discusses Reed's influence on him and the chord maneuvers he used in the book. Its not neccessarily what Richards plays, but the way he approaches playing that Reed influenced

Keith Richards got me here

[SatchManFan]

Thanks. I can't yet stretch that far to play a B6 in the 2nd position.

That's the way Jimmie Vaughan and most of "The Texas Guys" play it, but it does come from Jimmy Reed.

@marteeen0 The guy who showed him was Bobby Goldsboro, which is almost unbelievable if you've ever heard the hits he had. Look him up here on YT if you're not familiar with him -- songs like "Watching Scotty Grow," etc. Universes away from the Stones and Keith Richards!
