Playing Keith's riffs will extend your lifespan.
I hear that. Looking like he might outlive Mick.
you'll wake up w scars on the veins n a coconut lump on your head. 5 string guitar slinger...like fine wine gets better w age, mist say they don't look to appealing on stage since 70,s. exile on main and goat head soup ,alit awesome material no doubt...I found the stones I called dating music..
Maybe even increase your tolerance for mind altering substances.
I avoided Michael Angelo Batio's riffs, because I couldn't afford a Quad-Neck 24 string, lol! Seriously, I'm glad you did this Robert, great video & some great riffs throughout the years.
That tele tone during brown sugar is the holy grail of tone. Perfect amount of distortion and twang.
I had to read this like 5 times because I thought you said tele phone ....
AGREED !!
@@Johnknoll1042 haha
Even the Squier Affinity Tele does a great job of matching it!
Apostolos Papadopoulos funny way to spell evisceration plague
I just started learning some Keith riffs a few weeks ago and have had a blast so far. Just saw The Stones this past Tuesday so that only charged my motivation to continue.
I always thought I was avoiding Plinis riffs but it turns out they were avoiding me because I suck.
I love that you used the standard tele for this. It seemed so fitting for the tone and style
I had the same mentality. I've always loved Pink Floyd and one day, I decided to learn "Fearless" from "Meddle". First time I ever tuned to an open tuning and I've been intrigued with them ever since. Thanks for your videos, dude. Love it.
Last time I saw the Stones, Richards was using open G, but he didn't have a first or sixth string. Nice playing.
I'm quite sure that he does have the high E string.
He takes off the low E string and saddle. He used a 5 string tuning
SRV has been someone I avoided for many times because of his dangerous rhythm and muting Texas Blues riffs! He's still easily one of my most important inspirations!
Thank ye for the upload one day before this 17 year old's birthday haha! Great work here man!
I'm exactly the same 😂 way harder than it sounds
@@LeeJCander Ahh exactly! The notes are technically easy to understand, but to maintain his style of rhythm on something like Rude Mood requires so much discipline haha
I went into srv as soon as possible so I knew how to do all the muting and stuff and his songs are fun af
@@inmemoryofgstringbender ahh definitely. Once you get it down, it's really fun to play nonstop. Who says Rhythm Guitar isn't fun haha
It's after midnight now. Happy birthday, stranger.
I thought about avoiding Michael Romeo’s riffs, but I decided against it. Turns out they weren’t that bad.
People mostly talk about Michael Romeo's amazing solos but the dude sure can write some mean sounding riffs.
@@streetwiserhapsody
Romeo is a riff master, that is where he really excels over petrucci
Michael Romeo is not just a guitarist his is a music composer... and genius.
You're such a sweet guy, we all know you make it for us not for the money brother. Never any doubt. Hilarious bloopers too bro! 😂😂
thanks my dude
And a sweet guitarist 😏
@@sadippers6168 oh hell yeah! Goes without saying brother, he's super awesome. Can't stop watching when he's playing and playing after I've watched. Schweeeet! 😍👍📺👀
I used to avoid a lot of Dave Mustaine’s riffs because they’re so technical. Once I got better and got my fingers up to speed I went back and learned some of those songs. Super fun stuff!
I think that it speaks for itself that i knew who were talking about as soon as I heard the first chord.
Also I think that it is due to the mixture of Keith's open tuning riffs and Mick's standard tuning licks that makes the late 60's/ early 70's Stones' sound as outstanding as it is (not to mention their sheer virtuosity).

Cant you hear me knocking is a great tune to play in open G. Im sure you'd do it justice.
Love that song and it's sweet to play. First Open G tune I learned, thanks to "Shut up and Play Guitar" (Awesome teaching, there, imo)
I shamelessly avoided Zepplin and the mighty Jimmy Page. Now that I’m totally into him and his ingenuity, I can’t believe how influential he is! Rock & roll owes him so much!
The roads that lead to learning open tunings. Mine was when I first started to learn bottleneck slide. Maybe 25 years ago I was in the front row of an intimate club setting and sitting about three feet away from delta blues sensation Roy Rogers (not the singing cowboy). After the show, I snuck backstage and started a conversation with Roy. He was ok with me being back there. I ended up getting a 20 minute primer lesson on the basics of slide playing and open tunings. As to my player that I avoided learning his work, that would be Gary Moore.
Keith is the #1 reason I picked up a guitar 42 years ago. I bought "Made In The Shade" and wore it out (this actually happened back in the vinyl LP days!). Then I bought it again . Then I bought a guitar.
The first time I tuned to open G, I was amazed how quickly and easily the Keef riffs came out.
it's totally awesome to once you learn that classic Keith fingeringm also they call it the Keith chords. so many great songs especially for a Stones fan magically come out of that and you can't help but smile.
open G unlocked so much good stuff from Black crowes just some Doobie Brothers stuff and a whole lot more.

Thanks, I have been playing guitar for the last 50 years. Since a was 5 years old I started music getting ready for studies in de Conservatory for 7 years, until I was 12 years old. Then I went to Texas USA to study and came back home at 19 years old to get to the conservatory to learn to play Folklore Venezolano. I have a lot to tell. My life with MUSIC has been incredible. I have so many stories to tell. I am 59 years old and keeping learning, a lot by your help. THANK YOU
I PLAY GUITAR, A LOT. When I Play, every one hears and/or dance, I love it. It makes me feel awesome. I have learned a lot with this, your Channel. Thank you.
Es totalmente increíble lo que me has enseñado.
I live in venezuela, HELL write now. My guitars:
Strat 6? Stoled from me
Les Paul 6? Still got it
Ibanez 1570 Prestige, the best I have ever had but no WAMYBAR. I blocked the FLOYD.
Alvaro Nylon, Stoled from me
too
I play clean and I love it. My Amp. Fender Black Face Pro Reverb 67 and KORG A5 since 1990.
I’ve been avoiding John Mayer and now I know most of his stuff and have incorporated his techniques
He's so good I avoided him for years unintentionally why didn't anyone tell me about him sooner
"And hopefully avoiding copyright"
UMG: hold my beer
hahaha
If you got a claim, reply: "Yeah, sure, just show me the master tap... Oh, now I remember! You let them all burn to ashes!"
Emilio Montes de Oca González Damn straight sir! 👍
What I always liked about the Stones was it's like the whole band is playing totally different songs at the same time. But it all comes together amazing. Glad you spent the last minute playing some of my stuff 😂!
I rarely play in Standard Tuning these days. After learning Mark Tremonti / Creed song “Higher” I just left it there and learned more songs in Drop D. Then after learning Alter Bridge (Tremonti) “Open Your Eyes” in DADDAD tuning I got inspired to noodle in open tunings.
For a while, I avoided Alexi Laiho's riffs early on in my playing. I just remember looking at a tab from one of my favorite C.O.B. songs and then put it to the side
I agree the Beast of Burden riff is just classic sweetness and soulfulness. Sharp, clean and just cutting goodness. I think the Rolling Stones and particularly Start Me Up was why i had to learn guitar. I happen to be 13 in 1981 and that, along with Asia, and Joan Jett, were the first three albums i purchased in my early life. Cassette of course.
Subscribed. Great insight on this vid. Alternate tunings are another world, an adventure. Like you said, going back to standard tuning feels like home. I’m glad you mentioned subscribe, I thought I had. Been watching your vids for a long time now.
I love that tele Robert. I had to sell one to pay the bills a couple years back... the one that got away. Thanks for the lesson. Stones are awesome
Can't believe you never tried to play Travelling Riverside Blues seeing as you are a big Page fan. Great for Open G and slide. Try It!
Robert, I read in Richard's autobiography that he switched to open G in 1968, about the time they recorded Jumping Jack Flash. So Satisfaction would have been in standard tuning.
no actually Keith switch to open G tuning just after Let It bleed going into sticky fingers right about the time of the live get yer ya-ya's out...
a lot of the stuff you'll find on Let It bleed especially like monkey man and the title track Let It bleed title track acoustic Keith was using a capo at the second fret in standard tuning..in fact all over Let It bleed Keith was using a capo mainly in the second and third fret primarily the second fret on most of the songs.
I just subscribed, Robert -- congratulations!😎
I've avoided Edward Van Halen's stuff for decades, and I still do! I started playing years before I heard of him, and even before he became famous. This was back in the days before many musical resources became available, and the main way to learn stuff was to buy albums. I was too broke to buy many albums! Also, I started playing before anyone was shredding, and my father had cautioned me that I probably wouldn't have the fastest hands in the world to work with -- and then we were besieged with widdly-widdly shredders by the seeming dozen, and it all seemed so far beyond me! By the time much of that stuff was readily available, I was pretty much too old to mess with it. Having guitars that were poorly set up and having too little knowledge of how it was done didn't help either.
All that said, no, I can't shred or do any of that flashy stuff ... but I can still sound good when I play. That's what's really up. And I HAVE had one guy at my local Guitar Center tell me I was playing "hot licks" when I got warmed up and really did my thing. Not bad for 61 years old (although I was just 60 then).😎
Yes! More Bloopers! Love, love, love! You’re Human! ✌🏻❤️
Yeah but even his bloopers sound awsome
Love the Pink Floyd style messing at the end, cool.
Holy cow! You’ve never played in open tuning till now? Tons of extra fun ain’t it. I remember back when I learned open “G”. I don’t think I tuned in standard for about a month. Congratulations man! Did you realize how much music you were leaving on the table
Ive always hated the stones, but you made me realize how cool the riffs actually are. Good job. I still hate em. But i learned somethin, and inspired to explore open tunings for a change
Dustin MidNyte Driscoll if your gonna start playing in open tuning. Get yourself a slide. Suddenly slide guitar sounds right
@@timothycormier3494 thanks for the tip. I have a glass and steel slide. So I'll get a chance to finally work with those
Rich Robinson is one of my favorite rhythm players and he uses open tunings for almost everything.
Try open E for slide! You'll be glad you did!
That riff around 4:30 Is awesome!
The bloopers were fun but I was hoping to hear some Keith Richards jams on this one. Great video! 😎
Eddie Van Halen. Hmmm. Avoided for over 20 years. I'm on to him now! The Stones, Shelter is pretty badass. Never attempted.But its your show. You sound great man! Rock on.
He is the most overrated guitarist
Delacroix yeah right, VH licks are notoriously hard to perfect, EVH had so much groove, I’m not even a Van Halen fan but I can definitely respect the impact that man had on electric guitar... overrated my ass, Eddie literally set the bar.
Tea Westside ; and I totally agree. I didn’t care much for VH growing up, but I’ve been paying a lot of attention to Eddie over the last few months... don’t know what kind of music you play, but I grew up playing thrash, so it was a little difficult to get used to his style (and especially his groove) in the beginning, but god I am glad I went down the road because it has had such a great effect on my playing
@@Iheartdgd Wow man that sounds like my story except I started playing dec 1986 and VH ( besides the Dave gone Hagar in debacle, ) They were the biggest band on the planet and of course Ed was the measuring stick. I just didn't get it, I didn't have youtube so no one showing how to play anything. The good thing was Metallica was about to blow up and when I heard that kind aggression behind a guitar I was sold. Seek and Destroy the outro guitars with the sludgy speed but being picked double time set the standard. As this was some 32-33 years ago It was Live After Death and Master of Puppets that I chose to practice at least 1million times since then till now. Along with Megadeth,Testament,Machine Head and so many more. My point is like you said taking the thrash and mixing in the shear timing brilliance of EVH and everything he brings made a better player period. I'll admit the wholeheartedly. I still laugh when Im practising songs and my list goes , Sanitarium,Holy Wars,Somebody get me a doctor,Hitch a Ride,Lay it Down,Tornado of Souls,Shortest Straw,Black and Blue,Wanted Dead or Alive,Seventeen. Yeah I Play Winger too.( For any haters play 17 like Reb Beach does and say they suck,) Thats just a small part. I usually like to play around 40 songs daily. Its given me a fingerprint to be proud of cause My sound is my own, borrowed from so many of my favorites over years. The best part of it all is I'm playing the best I ever have and its my main job now.
Great playing as usual Robert! Loved your own time with double delay.🤯
I always learn the song as close as possible to the way its played in studio - but then use that as the starting point.
Glad you're jumping in the KEEF pool! So many good open G riffs. I think my fav is Can't You Hear Me Knockin'. Nice to see the Friedman Tele for the humbucker. I've always avoided untouchable guitarists like Page, Hendrix, SRV, but I've been learning some Led Zep over the past year and now Page isn't so daunting.
Bloopers at the end are great, keep doing it!
I think Robin Trower started off 1/2 step down and is now a whole step down chasing tone with bridge cables for strings. That took a bit to figure, found there's a lot of players 1/2 step down like Frampton. Foo Fighters is a crap shoot.
I think he’s still alive! 4:47 🎸😀
I avoided the riffs of Pretty Noose because the first and only time I tried to tune to that tuning, I snapped a string....
I learn the same way too. I just go for the vibe of a lot of players and go from there.
I don't really avoid any players but I overlook them unintentionally..
Love those Teles, brother ! Nothing like soapbars and Tele twang! Great video 👌
Friedman's are just stright up great sounding guitars. Never heard a bad one.
Eddie Van Halen. Thought I would never be good enough to play any of his stuff. Turns out it's not usually that complicated lol
I'm finding that out now also. Fucking Dropped D.
Same here. I never thought I'd be able to play Panama, Eruption, Running with the Devil. I don't do the solos, but the riffs are good enough.
Sir Vic you don’t play the solo in Eruption?
@@ES-us9om Haven't got down to working it out yet. Not much of a soloist unless I really want to play it.
@@SirVicc hey man its all in what you really want to play and why. I will say for the record I 1st heard Eruption and it made me want drop out of the game. I stuck it out and found my place in rhythm and after some years took on the lead world. Its all good in what you want.
You being such a Tele fan I though for sure you were a Keith player! O well, never to late!! I avoided Dave Matthews songs for 20 years I never thought I could get his stretches and phrasing down... I'm all over it now, learning all his tunes, Very tricky chord shapes and stretches, very underrated!!!
I am old enough to be your grand dad but you are one cool dude and an amazing guitar player can’t say how much I respect you for putting this out. Great stuff. Great player. Life is long. Enjoy the ride. Music is the truth. Best wishes. Shally
Great video. Very honest - and you played the 'Stones so well !!
Good for you Robert! You’re an inspiration! Be well! By the by, my open tuning nemesis was Michael Hedges! Have a fantastic week!
Oh yeah!🤘 Back in the 8th grade when we were just getting started one of my friends and his older brothers were Stones addict's. They got a paying gig at a Jr. High School on the other side of town, I went and worked the stage lights. The kid's went wild, some of them thought they WERE the Stones. Was great.
Moonlight Mile is an awesome Stones song to learn for an Open G Acoustic, also Wild Horses in Open G on Acoustic is a great one to learn.
well my bell is on...hey people ring that bell for this great teacher
Midnight Rambler is in standard with capo at the 7th fret. It rocks
Your aweome man! some of the best riffs of all time. Glad your enjoying playing them!!!!
I liked all the 'bad' notes at the end. Yeah, the list of guitar player riffs that I didn't want to learn was/is way longer than the list of riffs I wanted to learn. One of the reasons I never wanted to cover in a band in a bar down the street was I didn't want to play all the stuff I didn't like. When I was in my earliest days as a guitar player, late seventies, I thought the Stones were corny old stuff and I wanted heavier stuff. As I got older I started to like the stones.
Open tunings and alt tunings are great. I love messing with them and it's so easy to make up original material because so many guitar players avoid using them. Lately I've been thinking of tuning strings 3 through 6 flat and leaving 1&2 in standard; E B G
that was cool. I once saw a picture of Keith Richards and noticed he plays with just 5 strings. It's really weird.
Well the other E string is basically useless in open G tuning. So he just took it off to avoid hitting it
@@codyleefranks9134 It's the fifth. What's useless?
People normally take off the low E if they're playing open G and just use the high E if they take any strings off at all. I don't personally lol
Great topic! I actually really enjoy playing in Open G tuning and it's great for playing slide. I always thought that Richards played a lot in Open A? Nice tones from all the guitars!
Saw the Stones at their first "Last Tour" in 1980 I think and was blown away how freaking good Keith Richards was. Definitely prefer Standard Tuning tho
Honestly i never subscribe to anyone on youtube, but since he asked so nicely like the only time ever, Robert Baker you get my subscription lol! Keep on making beautiful demonotized content my brotha!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! Ive learned tons from your videos and the talking ones are great too haha! And honestly your crackle charvel is amazing....
Grew up in 70’s 80’s and was not a stones fan. Love them now and probably why I bought a tele at this stage in my life. I don’t think most people had high fi systems to hear the Stone as intended. Now days I love them. Tele’s are great. Tele and plate reverb.
“I was a dumb kid I don’t know “ Classic. Lol
I avoided Eric Johnson, play his stuff alot now and it's so fun
Diamond Darrell, aka Dimebag. I love PanterA like a brother I never had. I knew I could never do the stuff he did, but then later realized I couldn't do any of the stuff he did outside of a few measures of "Walk" or "A New Level" So I felt compelled to try and do any, the essentials as one of my buddies suggested. Rock'n Daddies Never Die \m/
I avoided Jimmy Page because he is my favorite guitar player and I thought every time "it's not going to be perfect, I need to learn more to play Page's style" - Now I play and it's just great, cause I do not try to play the exactly like him, and this is awesome!
Glad you kept the Tele. Great sound.
Dude in my college dorm (before I began playing) drove me to the brink of insanity by only playing Brown Sugar over and over and over. Took me 30 years to get past that. Honestly Brown Sugar is a perfect song on both guitar and bass, and both are insanely fun to play. Keef and the boys stole from the best, but are genius in their own right.
Man, over the years I’ve avoided all sorts of guitar stuff. Now at old man, I just go for it
Yey! It's always a good day when my bro posts, but today keef riffs! Wow! Wicked dude! 😍👍👍👍
The flip flop of that kinda happened to me when I started. Three years ago I started playing when Prince died and I wanted to learn his stuff but it is some tough stuff. So I learned others like Lenny Kravitz to get started and Alice in Chains got me into Alternate tunings, still working on Prince stuff all standard tuning.
Those riffs sound soo good on that tele. Keith gets overlooked a lot.
Here! Good stuff as usual
Yo 🤘🏻
I play a lot of his licks without re-tuning. I just strike the D, G, and B strings and mute the rest. It's not as good as re-tuning but it does get the job done.
The only problem I run into with G tuning is EVERYTHING I play sounds like the stones lol. Hard to write original stuff in that tuning, at least for me. Great video bro!
Love Stones🎸🎶sweet playing
You can try and make different tunings youre own.Dancing days is open g it dosent sound like the stones
Sounds pretty close! Sometimes you have to get to a certain level with your playing to even be able to pull off what your heroes are doing. Rock on man.
Great, now it's time to lose your "E" string and slap a PAF in the neck position!
"Upload your own video" LOL loved that line Robert!
I was never much into the Stones, but I as I get older I do think I like their music better than when I was younger. I watched a Bio on Keith Richards and I came away from it actually really liking the guy! He was recording a solo album at the time and they kept zooming in on his hands, those old gnarled up, swollen knuckles may look horrible but the man was still playing like he was 17 and I was impressed!
I like the old KISS stuff, the original first three albums, but every song they had their guitars tuned down a half step, that annoys me when I am going through and trying to learn new songs and find one I really like and the tuning is not standard. Lol I guess I am just being lazy and don't want to mess with the tuners. Since so many of those old classic songs were tuned to Eb I have my Iceman guitar always tuned to Eb, lol it saves me time. I figured I would keep my Iceman at that setting since Paul Stanley of KISS is one of the biggest reasons for the popularity of that guitar. I did not know that it was him that pretty much designed the Iceman guitar. Apparently when KISS was on tour in Japan reps from Ibanez approached him and showed him a guitar they were designing and asked for his input and then asked if he wanted to play it on stage as an endorsement for it. Back in those days I remember all the guitar guys talking about that cool guitar Paul Stanley was playing, even non KISS fans loved it! It's the best guitar I have found for sitting and playing, it is so well balanced and comfortable!
I was always the same way...avoiding alternate tunings...ESPECIALLY with a floyd rose...no way I was going down that road....i still cant get capo'ed songs to sound right!!!!!
I had a capo for years, and couldn't use it at all until I discovered my one true use for one: Setups! Now, I find it as indispensable as people say they are -- but I still don't play with one!
Never EVER thought i would see you playing Stones with a tele on your lap 😂 Nice vid man 👍
Didn't try any EVH for the longest time. Turns out most of it isn't that hard and it's REALLY fun stuff.
Same place I thought he was too technical for over 20 years,but in truth its a whole new door to this guitar world. I now have EVH flair to my Mustaine thunderous sound that has really put a stamp on my own sound. Well said not too hard and really fun,but I have to say 25 years ago I didnt have a chance. Over that span I picked up the playing prowess to step up to the plate and do it. Peace
A few weeks ago I decided to get a squire telecaster just for Stones songs... for the same reason. I tested his tuning on a guitar and had a blast.
I'm with you on the note for note strum for strum copies of songs because most artists never play their songs off the record note for note.
I love the stones. Played in a stones cover band. Was a chore to bring multiple Teles to gigs in different tunings and have a backup. I even have one with missing low E 🤘. His riffs are fun and I love open G and E
Yeah once u get into Keef’s writing skills there’s a whole new respect that develops for the stones. I love that Friedman.
Midnight Rambler is fun, standard tuning capo the 7th. Monkey man is one of my favorite songs to play. I play it in standard, don't know if it was originally.
Your videos are great! Keep ‘em coming
It’s well worth the hassle tuning to open G. One can have great fun for hours playing Rolling Stone songs and just experimenting. Just avoid hitting the low E string or what would now be D.
Salute you for that RB! Peace!
Cool vid, Tumbling Dice is a fun one.
Been playing Stones since day 1 on guitar. Standard tuning. 😀. Great video
Yeah thats cool. I wondered what it would sound like played in std. Or dropD
Ha! I too have avoided Keith's Magical Mystery tunes. Great idea! Thanks! Onward to glory!
Funnily enough I've been doing quite a lot of Keithy stuff my self recently. Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk and Mixed Emotions are really great fun to play. When you learn his stuff you start to see how clever and well crafted the rhythm parts are?
Your tone is perfect!
Man! Your Tele sounds so good!
I've been avoiding Simon from biffy clyro for a while. He plays predominantly in dadgad which I was just not prepared to go down that rabbit hole... now I'm in the hole and I don't want out
