    My intro to your music on your old channel were the vids where you really broke down a lot of the Stones stuff. Sometimes you just riff along with a song and have fun, which is cool, but on those you really put in time and have a keen ear. A lot of YT lessons/covers of those songs have errors or are just plain wrong, but you really broke those songs down into the different guitar parts and tunings and presented them in a really clear way. I just wanted to let you know how much your dedication and ear to those (and all the others) was appreciated, and it’s good to hear you blaze through this one again. Thanks!

    It's amazing how steady/consistent your right hand is throughout this song! No matter how "staccato" the riffs might be, your right hand does the same thing through 90% of the song. Feel free to give me the secret sauce, because practice isn't getting me there fast enough!

    Lot of controversy about capo or no capo on this one. But those hammer ons in the D shape sound seem to suggest a capo. Sounds dead on to me JJ. Thanks for posting this one again

    • @EMarrs42
      @EMarrs42 5 років тому +3

      Yeah the Capo is definitely it. It seems like the late 60s to the early 70s, Keith was using a lot of Capo. Standard tuning Capo on the 7th for Midnight Rambler, open G and Capo on the 4th for Tumbling Dice, and so on. That Trinity of albums, Let It Bleed, Exile, and sticky fingers, was Keith at his most creative with alternate tunings and Capo use.

    hey James, am a big fan of yours and usually try to learn songs through you. I am a massive Stones fan, such as yourself and really like that you cover some great but not so popular songs such as Jigsaw puzzle and the rest. Can you sometimes make a lesson or cover from I Can't Get No Satisfaction - New York MSG 1969 version with the great Keith sound and guitar play. I think thats probably the best version of that classic and seems like Keith is playing it little differently.
    Cheers and great channel, both od them (think you are also Privvet but could be wrong)

  • @hamricmike8
    @hamricmike8 5 років тому +5

    The ES-345. A spectacular guitar made famous by BB, Chuck, and none other than Marty McFly! Marty's had an aftermarket Bigsby though. Plus that guitar, or humbucking pickups for that matter, were not yet invented yet in 1955. When I watch Back To The Future I always have to mention that and everyone looks at me like I'm an alien.

  • @Hoodrio
    @Hoodrio 4 роки тому +1

    When Keith plays the lick with the pinky on the 3rd string 9th fret, he leaves the ring finger anchored on the 4th string 8th fret. You can see it in this live clip: ua-cam.com/video/KOIqauJ3_WU/v-deo.html

      whole pile of Tunes coming off of this album where in standard tuning just utilizing the capo.
      it wasn't till about through the ya ya yas into sticky fingers when Keef would rip off that low E string on the top and start playing the hell out of open G.
