I hate alternate tunings cause they are a pain in the butt, however that's gotta be the best cover of this song i've ever heard. Kuddo's. I might just have to break down and learn this.

Thanks heaps for the compliment...I've just discovered open C, try that one, I usually use open E but open C is another dimension. The band I'm in is playing Chain if Fools (Joe South plays guitar on the original) I couldnt work the riff out just didnt sound right, then decided to use open C and there it was!

WOW.......you should join the Rolling Stones !! great playing..... Is Mick in open G tuning too ?

[resoslideguitar]

Mick always plays in normal tuning even while playing slide guitar

Thank you for the great video.

Are you using a pick and fingers or just fingers when you play this song?

Also, I think your amp sounds great.

[resoslideguitar]

pick and fingers seem to have the best results

@vampcat73 If you're a Keith fan, you can nearly put it in open G and just leave it. Just buy another guitar and keep one in standard and one in G!

@vampcat73 Have a look at this guy, he knows the real deal:

This one is better, much closer to the original, have a look:

At 0:33-0:35 you make a mistake which is constantly repeated.
