Brother James. .... Thank you man for all you do and have done over the years....priceless your time sharing has been to this hack ....great musician you are...a real unselfish person to have given these thousands of hours freely.... God bless you. ....
I personally like std version. If you want that open G "twang", just transpose chords to barred higher on the neck rather than mostly open 1st. Position.
These are damn good lessons. The thing I really appreciate is there is no overbearing personality just dying for recognition. We could walk by this cat at the Rite Aide and not even know. While it would be neat to put a face to it I love not having to deal with "Party Marty" and all the nonsense associated with that nonsense. So yeah, thanks a lot for taking the time to do these.
This song sounds so much better in the open G tuning. It also gives one the opportunity to add a lot of fills that are fun to play. Thanks so much for this video.
I started learning guitar in 1970 on my mates dad's acoustic guitar. My mate had it tuned in open g, and was playing its all over now. I thought it was brill, simple and so effective
Thank you James James. You are a very good teacher and I always get insight from your lessons. A lot of wisdom in your methods. Appreciate all you do here to teach.
I just listened to your last message on PT, I have been out of guitar mode for awhile but I am glad I found you here because you are the best guitar teacher. So sorry for the grief you have to deal with for just helping people play, so it is a long time coming, before the dawn. Thank you for the great work you do.
Alot of your lessons have a link that only shows your guitar so I am always psyched when I stumble on a lesson I am searcing for and I find one of yours. Always a challenge for me but you break it down in a cool way so I can at least play it in a couple hours. Thanks for taking the time. I hope you are giving lessons privately as well.
I saw your last video from your prior channel and wanted to thank you for not hanging up your hat. Your lessons suit me perfectly. Also, I put my drop d capo on at the 2nd fret with the high E left open(upside down from normal). This puts you in A instead of G but too my ear this helps the standard tuning version out quit a bit. The high E gives nice suspensions and unisons more like an open tuning. Good for those of us who are lazy about retuning. A regular capo will work as well if your careful.
So glad you did the open G version. Been meaning to figure it out, but never got to it. Agree -- this is one of the great ones. I learned this in standard tuning a looong looooooong time ago. Thank you
I always played this in standard tuning and always watched Keith play it live in opened - G and I always wondered how Keith structured the A & B minor cords and the C major to the F major for the guitar brake in opened - G. You gave a nice clear descriptive break down for the open G version of Wild Horses - Bravo !! THKS !!
The shadows of the strings gives an illusion that it's a 12-string guitar. Learnt this a long time ago from the PT channel, need to refresh this. Thanks.
I’ve been playing open G for 40 years and it never occurred to tune the 6th string up to G. I usually leave it as E for the root/drone of an E chord. Your ear is perfect. I picked up a few things watching your videos. Thank you.
Damn. You literally have all the best sounding acoustics! Like you got the one out of the batch that sounds absolutely amazing. Anyway, great tutorial as always. Straight to the point, easy to understand and retain.
THANK YOU, JJ....I have been waiting for a good lesson on Wild Horses....I have been playing it in standard tuning, but want to try it in Open G like Keef does.
Thanks for the great tutorial James. The Genesee beer sign takes me back to Buffalo NY when I was a kid. We always stayed at a cabin near Sherkston shores (Thunder Bay) in Ontario. My Uncles , my Dad and Mom always had big coolers full of Genesee beer on ice when we had cookouts. They had no idea that my cousin and I were sneaking beer into the woods. A couple tipsy 13 year old kids making the best of one of those family vacations.
Aught to hear my 78' Yam FG336SB....The Bassy tone is special.. Steve Miller back in the day used a Hummingbird for Acoustic Jet Airliner,and sure is a way to set them up Special for that amazing tone. Nice Intstruments.
This lesson is awesome. Good man. This is as close as i've ever been able to find to the stripped back version the stones do. Some great lessons out there, but you do a great job of bringing the subtleties to life and showing how to do it. Really great job.
Well, another song you've taught me to do, way above my abilities to figure out otherwise. (And I've had plenty of Genesee in my time and my first guitar purchase was at House of Guitars.) Many thanks dude.
Read an interview with Keith Richards, he woke up one night with the chorus Wild Horses screaming in his head. So he capped off the line with "couldn't drag me away". He brought the idea to Jagger and Mick completed the verses. Song was originally intended by Keith to be about his newborn son that he was leaving to go on tour. But Mick made it a love in trouble song. There was mention that Graham Parsons sat in on a session and may have contributed in some way. He was actually the first to release the song.
Another thing you can do is tune too Open D or E and capo up too G, or in my case F because it suits my voice better, same chord shapes just different intervals.
The open G tuning is definitely a "stones" signature sound. Love those suspended notes. Can't name every song they do in this tuning but there are several to be sure.
Always wanted to know this in G tuning. I wrote one in E standard I was thinking of re-arranging in G. I have an SG-type guitar I dedicated to a G tuning. Nice job, JJ.
"Wild Horses" was always a Stones jewel. Gram Parsons was involved in the writing and his Flying Burrito Brothers actually performed the song live before The Stones did and I believe that The Flying Burrito Brothers did it at the infamously tragic 1969 Altamont free concert and that was of course before STICKY FINGERS was released in 1971. Mick Taylor is credited with the Nashville-tuned acoustic guitar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Horses_(Rolling_Stones_song) 😷
James, still missing you. Hope everything fine with you and with your lovely lady! Thanks again for what you tought me!
Why he leave?
Brother James. ....
Thank you man for all you do and have done over the years....priceless your time sharing has been to this hack ....great musician you are...a real unselfish person to have given these thousands of hours freely....
God bless you. ....
he’s got passion that’s for sure
love that both OPEN G and STANDARD tuning are covered. Thanks for taking the time to teach us this.
Great stuff, as always! Open G certainly sounds better. Those ringing chords give the song its color. Thanks!
I personally like std version. If you want that open G "twang", just transpose chords to barred higher on the neck rather than mostly open 1st. Position.
Been checking out the stones videos in europe?.... awesome!... youtube is the best thing! Im 58 years old never dreamed id have something like this.
Thanks man, I've been playing it standard for a while, but it wasn't quite right. Lately I've been using open G a lot, so this is great.
These are damn good lessons. The thing I really appreciate is there is no overbearing personality just dying for recognition. We could walk by this cat at the Rite Aide and not even know.

Saw them in Dublin the other night. They did a great version of this, one of the highlights of the night. Great backing vocals from Keith!
Ciaran McGreal Saw them too. What a great performance!
I started learning guitar in 1970 on my mates dad's acoustic guitar. My mate had it tuned in open g, and was playing its all over now. I thought it was brill, simple and so effective
Thanks for the awesome lesson JJ, always appreciated.
Double J .... Thanks for keeping the Stone rolling. Hats off to you Sir !
Everyone’s learning Guitar right now... Rock n Roll might be back ....
it’s in the air i started almost a year ago now july 27 marks it !
Except for Nikki sixx.....
Rock n roll will never die!
Thank you James James. You are a very good teacher and I always get insight from your lessons. A lot of wisdom in your methods. Appreciate all you do here to teach.
One of my favourite Stones songs and an excellent lesson. Thanks 👍
That Dove is incredible. Singing bright 4 sure! Thank you for this lesson.

So sorry for the grief you have to deal with for just helping people play, so it is a long time coming, before the dawn. Thank you for the great work you do.
I dunno, you shows everything so easy, no pun, it's easy "when you get it" ... Love how easy you show it!
Alot of your lessons have a link that only shows your guitar so I am always psyched when I stumble on a lesson I am searcing for and I find one of yours. Always a challenge for me but you break it down in a cool way so I can at least play it in a couple hours. Thanks for taking the time. I hope you are giving lessons privately as well.
I'd never noticed the difference in dove vs hummingbird until you pointed it out. Wow what a difference.
doing my bit for the corona outbreak.Staying in and listen to the greatest tutor out there(running close with Justin Sands). hope your keeping safe

Great lesson as usual. Thank you for your time and effort! You really do make a difference out here!
Yes, he does. A phenomenon. One guy helping thousands.
So glad you did the open G version. Been meaning to figure it out, but never got to it. Agree -- this is one of the great ones. I learned this in standard tuning a looong looooooong time ago. Thank you

Thank for continuing the lessons always appreciated
Awesome lesson . Thank you.
JJ, you're getting better with age. Love this video. Thanks.
The shadows of the strings gives an illusion that it's a 12-string guitar. Learnt this a long time ago from the PT channel, need to refresh this. Thanks.
Thanks for the mention of Nashville tuning, I've never heard of that before but it's very interesting

Gold! Thank you so much! 👏👏👏👏👏
Damn. You literally have all the best sounding acoustics! Like you got the one out of the batch that sounds absolutely amazing. Anyway, great tutorial as always. Straight to the point, easy to understand and retain.
thank you for all the songs and all the years of lessons
8:23 is where this guy changes the tuning from open g tuning to standard.
Thanks, James! I'm gonna revisit this lesson with my Gibson on my next day off!
I have been playing it in standard like I learned it from you and now I'm going to try and learn it in Open G, thanks so much man for your time.
I discovered this way of playing this song a few years ago. Ive known the open G for many many years. Luv it
THANK YOU, JJ....I have been waiting for a good lesson on Wild Horses....I have been playing it in standard tuning, but want to try it in Open G like Keef does.
Sounds so much better in open G
Thanks for the great tutorial James. The Genesee beer sign takes me back to Buffalo NY when I was a kid. We always stayed at a cabin near Sherkston shores (Thunder Bay) in Ontario.

Cool. (From an Ottawa/Toronto guy)
Your lessons are always helpful - love it!

As always your videos are to the point and enjoyable to learn with. Thanks and appreciate the work you put in
Yep thats how I think they did it- 2nd guitar in nashville tuning! Great lesson!
Your lessons are the perfect pace for me. Thank you.
Aught to hear my 78' Yam FG336SB....The Bassy tone is special..
Steve Miller back in the day used a Hummingbird for Acoustic Jet Airliner,and sure is a way to set them up Special for that amazing tone.
Nice Intstruments.
Awesome. Among the best teachers out there. I usually tune the low E to G instead of taking it off or D. Many thanks.
Best wild horses lesson I found
Thank you very much for all your lessons !
Just stopping by to learn this song for an open mic. Miss you, James.

Great as Always...thanks Bro and all the best from Rostock, Germany
This lesson is awesome. Good man. This is as close as i've ever been able to find to the stripped back version the stones do. Some great lessons out there, but you do a great job of bringing the subtleties to life and showing how to do it. Really great job.
thanks fro more great lessons and right a top 5 song and thanks for the open tuning one
Well, another song you've taught me to do, way above my abilities to figure out otherwise. (And I've had plenty of Genesee in my time and my first guitar purchase was at House of Guitars.) Many thanks dude.
That is one fine looking Gibson.
You have some nice guitars sir! Love your lessons.
Thank you 🙏 y love your video thank James Merci
Loved it! Thank you.
Subscribed jus coz of how easy going this tutorial was. Straight up to the point. Learnt this song in bed about to sleep without a guitar. 👌🏼
(Standard Tuning) A minor couldn't G F C. James, you are the best.
If you wanna know the difference between a hummingbird and a dove 8:46 lol Great instructional video
Great demo and explanation along the way. Love your videos, man!
Really nice job, Tricker. Good vocals too!
James, thanks for this video!!
Awesome lesson !!!
Nice! I love that mood
Oh. and one more thing. I love your guitars. I bought a hummingbird because your's sounds so good. Thinking about buying a dove now.
This guy is the best!

Gram Parsons. Not Graham. Ingram to be precise.
Awesome...way to go Jimbo!!!!!
Love that song, lesson & Dove 🕊
Brilliant (as usual!). I prefer to do the Am in the same pattern as the Bm (G string at 2nd fret) in Open G tuning but that's me. Thank you so much.
Another thing you can do is tune too Open D or E and capo up too G, or in my case F because it suits my voice better, same chord shapes just different intervals.
in reg. tuning, right after the Bm, have your index finger go on and off first string, first fret.
Great lesson and beautiful guitars.
Thanks J-J for sharing.
Fantastic !! Many thanks.
The open G tuning is definitely a "stones" signature sound. Love those suspended notes. Can't name every song they do in this tuning but there are several to be sure.
Always wanted to know this in G tuning. I wrote one in E standard I was thinking of re-arranging in G. I have an SG-type guitar I dedicated to a G tuning. Nice job, JJ.
Good day to revisit this lesson.
Love your lessons! Love your guitar collection too!
Just gorgeous.
You are the best!!
Wow, that’s not too bad to play... thanks for the lesson. That was great!
I’ve been playing this for years and watching this I realise I’m making mistakes. Great video and beautiful guitars, both sound great.
Love the videos!! Especially all your guitars haha
Awesome as always. That Gibson Dove sounds incredible! Giving me gas for another Gibson acoustic arrg
