Very good. you show how to capture the nuances of the Stones version. Your tone and vibrato are very good approximations as well. I agree with those who say you are a musician and more than mechanical.

Thank you!

@strat63 For a interesting twist to the open G tuning, try replacing the low E with a 0,12 tuned to high D!

Kind of a nashville open G sound!

I think you nailed it. Thanks

nice one man, thanks for the post, made it easy to figure out all the options that i couldn't figure out myself. love playing around in open tuning, it is a different instrument that way. keith is so cool isn't he (musically)! hendrix/jimmy page he is not (luv em both), and never wanted to be, that's what makes him and his riffs so cool!

Best Brown Sugar Instructional on the Internet. Thank you for your posts. You are a real player-not just mechanical or technical like some other teachers.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Keith says he never plays a song the same way twice.  So in the spirit of playing like Keith, it's okay to make your own variations each time.

Keith only has 5 strings on his Tele.

Keith sat for a while with Gram Parsons and learned the technique.

If you tune the top E to a G you will not hurt your guitar.

I use to tune to E flat also, like SRV to use grande bends.

Try open tunings. Look up Richie Havens on u tube, I saw him play in 68.

He uses his thumb to bar a fret, or a few strings much like a "power cord".

For Power Cord see "Pete Townsen." Enjoy what ever you choose to do, music should be fun.

I tuned my E string (6th string) up to a G, and it sounds exactly like the G on the 5th string. Overall, it sounds a lot better than having the 6th tuned to a D. I don't know if the extra tension is bad for the guitar, but I don't think I'm taking much of a chance.
