This is such a great Stones tune. Keith played it many different ways over the years. I like them all, but this open-E version sounds like the old stuff to me. Open E tuning, capo 8th fret. Thanks for listening.

  • I'm afraid this guy is going to hit me with his guitar if i play it wrong.

  • yep ! xtra ! I do it in ordinary C F but this is something else. .must be the first Stones song I did, like 40 years agooooooo !

    one thing you're lucky for, obviously no neighbours; I must soft -finger pick away, and hush my voice ; pity !

    with love , Jacques

  • Beautifully done and that tuning is the one I like the best by miles. Why did Keef change, so much more blues in open D or E. The stones could have been cosmic rather than becoming a much lesser more repetitive rock band. Those early songs ... Wow

    He's like Joe from Family Guy but with legs. And a mad Brooklyn Mafia enforcer's accent ;-)

    "Eyyyyy Tony! Dis guy's a f**kin mook"

    (No disrespect intended, obviously. I don't want to end up at the bottom of the Hudson in concrete boots)

  • I think you know this and just made a mistake but if you're tuned to Open E and capo the 8th then your open strum is actually a C. But this sounds great and I agree it sounds like the old stuff. If you watch recent Stones concert footage it seems that nowadays Kieth plays this in Open G capoed at the fifth - again giving you a C with a little different timbre.

  • great cover !

  • @52692669 "Is this a acoustic guitar?" I'm afraid that whatever way I answer that question I will sound like a jerk so I won't answer at all.

  • Nice Glad that u'r having a go with the singing too (and no sign of a backing track!)

  • yeah!! great cover man!

  • hi

    great job

    is this a acoustic guitar?

  • You forgot the bridge . .

    Of all the versions Keith plays, my favorite is when they play the bridge.

  • nice guitar, nice voice , amazing cover
