If you like using a capo; you can tune to an open D and place a capo on the 2nd fret. Keith claimed in the studio he used this tuning played on a Hummingbird accoustic !! ????

Though I am somewhat skeptical, I wasn't there so I won't disagree with Mr. Richards account. However, if you listen closely to the studio original studio version you can't help but notice the pronounced Eb bass tone.

If someone would be kind enough to explain this tone with this tuning on a Hummingbird and why this

[MrAxlDJ]

I stand corrected... Tune the G string down to an Eb... I apologize if I cost anyone a string.

[MrAxlDJ]

If I told you it wouldn't be Magic....

Actually, you may have taken a picture of a person with a bright light behind them, the sun for example, and noticed they are just a shadow, because the camera automatically adjusted to the brightness of the background.

If you wear a black long sleeve shirt and lower the lighting behind you then you are the bright object and with the right light setting the back ground becomes the shadow matching the black in your shirt.

Abracadabra .... "poof", flash

The tuning is an open Eb 5th. Tune to an open Eb then tune the G string up to an Eb. The tuning is included above in the description.

I read he used nashville tuning on an acoustic. and brian jones plays the exotic indian instrument on the outro.

The hight notes sound like keith, but the lower ones i dont think so... dyou agree? Why?

@MrAxlDJ by the way: if you can find an old tape player with a "rec" button on, try it yourself. The sound really distorts, even if played with an acoustic guitar. can't remember what kind of recorder Richards had used though.

[TheHenryMorganShow]

@MrAxlDJ Concerning the "electric" sound of his acoustic guitar on this track Keith Richards wrote in his biography that he got that by playing it through a crappy tape recorder and then playing the tape back. He used this trick on several other tracks too. the crappy tape made the sound distort and gave the all acoustic guitar kind of a hollowbody being played through an amp effect.

[SonofBrunhilde]

Sounds great. Very close to the original recording. I don't like how Keith's guitar sounds when he plays this song live (in more recent years I'm referring to.) He definitely uses a different tuning nowadays and it sounds nothing like the original, which kind of sucks since he wrote the friggin' song in the first place...or at least most of the music to it. The way the guy in this video is tuning and playing is the way this song should sound. Love it.

@arthurarthurify nope

This is a great tuning and it certainly sounds the way it should be played. If doing this in the key of A where would this tuning take it using a capo? Love the high notes added that the open G tuning does not get.
