Sound like you guys know a thing or two about guitars and The Stones. I am New to the guitar, but I read Keiths book years ago and remember him telling that he plays alot of his thing with only 5 strings, and does something he call, open g tuning. Can anyone explain to me what that is about and how it works? Love the video btw
@jonathanjohnson86564 жыл бұрын
@@RockNRollDad88 the open G tuning is usually achieved by starting at the largest string( E) tuned to D, keef removes this string because it's not really necessary for his style. the next( A) string is tuned down one to G, the D string is kept D ,so no change, same goes for the G string, the B string is kept at B, the high E string is tuned down to D. So you're only really changing two strings if you remove the big E. With this tuning strumming the open strings results in a G chord. By barring the strings you are now achieve chords by using one finger. Keef often uses the middle and ring finger to make seventh( i think) chords and just that will go a long way. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I am can be more helpful. Im a twenty year intermediate and I see kids that can play circles around me. But your comment was recent and I hope I was a bit of help. Good luck.

First time I’ve ever heard The Last Time played exactly right and precisely the way Brian Jones played it in the studio - with those deep open strings that absolutely give it that haunted quality. Nice 👍 one ! Brian was a fabulously innovative guitarist - and an extremely clever musician - unfortunately he made up for it by being incredibly insecure - being in a group with Mick and Keith did him no good either. But he was super talented and died way before his time. Thanx for playing these great riffs - love ‘She Said Yeah’ - that song hit like a sledgehammer when I first heard it back when I was 17 - also love Mercy Mercy and That’s How Strong My Love Is - if yer fancy uploading em ??
