    Keith Richards + Open G tuning = classic

    That was badass. Keith is, in my opinion, the best riff guitarist that ever lived. He isn't far ahead from others but in front.

      Since we're talking about opinions, I'll respectfully disagree. I would personally and confidently place Tony Iommi at the front of the riff masters.

      It’s the hardest of the lot. Probably the one that you have to take off the thickest string.But also the mini slides in between the rhythmic chops.Amazing creativity with open G minus one.

      You can't play EVERY Stones song with g tuning since the first time he used it was in 1968. He also used open E( "Prodigal Son," "Street Fighting Man," and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" are open E (E-B-E-Ab-B-E), with the latter two songs capo'd on the 8th fret so that they sound C-major), open D, overdubs in "Nashville" tuning (Wild Horses), Standard tuning on songs like Angie, Slave...

    Classic five string for the 1st few songs. Beggars Banquet was the original album he displayed different tuning. Love that album because they seemed to be so happy in the studio being creative. They also had one of the best producer’s ever in the dear departed Jimmy Miller. Just an opinion.

    • @camicawber
      @camicawber 5 років тому +1

      Keith does it that way. He tunes the guitar to open G, which is D G D G B D. He gets rid of the low D so that the root of the chord is the lowest string. ...Though I think Rocks Off is a modified open G - for that one, I think he does leave the low E string on, and keeps it tuned to E. At least that's how it's written in an Exile on Main Street tab book I have.
