  • Tuning = G D G
    I sort of made this up as i went along so here are some chords that might help.
    Intro G x4
    G C FC
    i met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
    G A D GD
    She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
    G C
    She had to heave me right across her shoulders
    G D G
    Cause i just can't seem to drink her off my mind
    G D G
    She's a Hon- - ky Tonk woman
    G D G
    Gimme gimme gimme those honky tonk blues
    etc
    And don't forget the cowbell :)
    Have fun

    Nigel.... you have no idea what kind of monster you have created ! but wait there's more.... I am just a 48 year old truck driver in the states. always wanted to be able to play a musical instrument.... Too complicated too much time never did catch on... but now I have discovered 3 string cigar box one-string Diddley bow and you! and I am totally jazzed about learning hey created music for myself it's so so so self gratifying... Thank you for being here you inspire me

    Know why Keith Richards went open G? Backstage way back, Mick is listening to an opening act guitarist warm up and amazed at the sound. The guitarist is Ry Cooder. The story goes Mick encourages Keith to come listen. Keith is changed, composing and playing many of the Stones best hits in open G, even removing the 6th string from his guitars, being in the way of the root note on string 5. Ever wonder why many complain online Keith Richards is so hard to play (in standard tuning)? Yeah, that's why.

    Hi Nigel, I consider you & your channel one of the top goto channels for CBG song tutorials. It's not that one is better than another, it's a different style or technique that for a student is critical in learning different aspects of CBG playing. Thankyou for the time and effort to produce said videos. Take care, C.

    Great good lesson for just making it up as you went along (so you say;-@)- It may not have anything to do with you posting it but I remember requesting this song. Again thanks for another great lesson, you've a way of breaking down songs for beginners to understand, only criticism is that it's very very hard to hear you talk, one has to really pay attention to where your fingers are. I think it's time for you to start planing your world tour.

    Great lesson man! And my favorite Stones song :) Anyways, could it be that its suppose to go 10-10-7 not 10-7-7 on the verse?

    What are the best strings, acoustic, classic (nylon), or electric?
    In the case of using magnetic pickup's, it will be better electrical I suppose ... but, the electrical strings are more difficult to press?
    Thank you very much!

    Sir, are your cords just straight bars? I can't really tell from the video and I'm still very new at the 3 string thing.

    • @TheBootlegger007

    It sounds like you’ve got Clapton’s Cocaine riff in there toward the end of the song.
