Just what I needed. Recently became a disciple of Keith and having so much fun with his style. Thanks for the lesson. Midnight Rambler 1:17 Can't Always Get 5:06 Beast Of Burden 8:41 Slave 11:34 Hand Of Fate 13:53
Man, I've never heard anyone even mention Hand Of Fate before this, amazing. A criminally forgotten Stones song, have always loved it. It's awesome work you're doing!
thankyou very much,you mad it very easy to learn keith's style.I picked it all up in just about 4 hours , still need to tighten it up, I will enjoy playin these songs for months .you brought a lot of joy into my life and for that i thankyou again.Definately subscribed to your channel
This sound !! Ihave to get my hands on one of these princeton rverb ! These must be killers for harpin' too !! Fine lesson especially for "Beast Of Burden " whitch is one of the best song ever according to me . Thanks for sharing !
Dude, you made my Labor Day weekend. That Midnight Rambler jam has always been a favorite, and you made it so easy. I'm using an SCXD on voice 10, and it sounds just right. Thanks for the lesson. You're a great teacher. Wish you were local. ;) S
My favourite stones song, midnight rambler, I am 48 and have only just in the past 6 mths discovered this song, pretty sad but hey its great to leave the best till last I guess, thanks for this its fantastic
Danke für das Video. Es kommen auch mal Riffs vor, die nicht von jedem gezeigt werden! Vor allem die Erinnerung an seine Solo Platten! 💙 Er ist so wichtig für mich, seine Art zu spielen motiviert mich jeden Tag 💙 DANKE!
For some of the comments below, Keith played Open G (with no top E string) for many songs some with no capo and some with capo, and also Open E (for songs like "Gimme Shelter" (although Keith has been known to play it in standard tuning). This video (Guitar Lesson: 5 Classic Keith Richards Riffs) is very good for any of you that want to play Stones tunes correctly. The Stones recorded version of "Wild Horses" has Keith playing a 12-string tuned to Open G with all 6 strings. Those of you playing around with Open G tuning should enjoy it a lot.
A million thank U’s for this great informative video..... I wish I could have seen this 30 years ago, it would have saved a hellva lotta arguing ..... WellDone BRAVO...!
IDK if I call this 'AMAZING' playing. Keith is actually a musical simpleton, BUT HE ROCKS ! and that is what matters! TNX for Hand of Fate.....the break, "I had to save a life" part is for the 2nd Guitar, STANDARD tuning.
The SCXD is a great amp IMO and cops a very decent Princeton tone. For these vids I have to keep my PRRI pretty low, like on 2. For this one I used a Visual Sound Route 66 pedal.
@musicmatty67 Yes, I meant to clarify that comment, because I actually LOVE the Zoom G2. What I was really trying to get across was that I didn't spend any time dialing in the phaser, so it surely did not accurately represent what the pedal is capable of.
@TheLooseCovers I can't recall exactly, but typically for lessons my PRRI is set around 2.5 volume, 4.5 treble, 7 bass, 2 reverb, no trem; and the G2 has some tape echo and maybe a little compression. On this lesson the tone is probably more due to the Route 66 pedal's overdrive and/or compression.
many thanks. you showed the beauty of richards' simplicity. any chance of showing us the interplay of Richrds and taylor on the album version? That would but be great.
To clarify, you remove the low E from the guitar, which is the top E (thickest string on the guitar). To my knowledge, the only Open G song that Keith uses all six strings (actually all 12 strings) is "Wild Horses" - which he recorded with 12 string, and by the way is SO nice in Open G. Keith has also been known to play "Jumpin' Jack Flash" in Open G, instead of Standard with Capo. Open G version uses Capo at 4th fret. I keep a 52 Tele custom shop with '57 PAF in neck and Lindy Fralin vintage bridge pickup in Open G at all times with E string removed, as well as the saddle. Gotta love it.
Slave was disco? Hmm, news to me. One of my favourite songs by them. Bluesy. Straight ahead rock and roll, with a great sax solo by Sonny Rollins. Anyway, very good video. Quite helpful.
canadianroot also said it was from the "90's"... it was from Tattoo You which was early 80's and was part of the Some Girls sessions... doesn't change the excellence of the song... nor the fantastic lesson and explanations of the riffage demonstrated!
My favourite thing about Keith's style has always been his simplicity. Such a soulful musician.
Very complex simplicity... as simplicity usually is ...
@@hugoarend4743 Exactly
Keith Richards and Neil Young share a lot of that soul, I really wonder if they ever jammed together. I really need to get more into the stones.
@@NoahLavineASP Can't precise it but they probably have.

Wow....that was awesome! Seventy years old. Old favorites. Thanks!
You have a great ear and you simplify things with a dead on & elegant touch.
Thank you !!♡!!
Thanks so much for the kind feedback, Raymond!

I bow down to you in gratitude. Absolutely love Midnight Rambler and never remotely thought I could play it. Super lesson!
You’re very welcome, Len - glad to help!
once again. i came back for your lesson on this a few years later from a long break. many thanks for breaking this down easily.
Thanks for going through all the work to put that video together. Seeing those licks laid out really does make me more appreciative of Kieth's style
much respect to people like yourself who master their craft.
Man, I've never heard anyone even mention Hand Of Fate before this, amazing. A criminally forgotten Stones song, have always loved it. It's awesome work you're doing!

you go 'chunk on your A shape!' Thanks for sharing - clear, easy to follow, and much appreciated.
Thank you for doing this. Well explained....I had to learn the stylings of the stones, and this got me off to a GREAT start. Hats off.
Great tips to try and break free from the 70's stuff that I seem locked into. Here's hoping!
Very nice....Thanks for taking the time to show & tell. Appreciate it.
Kick ass lessons, dude! I've never seen Keef so easily explained! Peace to you, my friend!
That little B to E stroke at the start of Beast of Burden has been driving me nuts for nearly 35 years. Merci!
ha ha pareil pour moi Gars !!
My new favorite teacher on you tube. Your a great teacher bro Thanks for making me want to play again
That guitar sounds great. Really like You Can't Always Get What You Want. Thanks.
On the main riff he should also hammer on the 2nd B string, I think.
Marvelous! Marvelous! Thanks for this great great lesson....
Can't thank you enough for spending your time doing this. All UA-cam knowledge sharers are in my cool book. Cheers
Great lessons! Thank you for keeping it simple and informative. Outstanding.

BaloSurf why keep a nice guitar in one tuning to mimic someone elses vibe? Seems kinda corny.
Very interesting. Thanks for this.
Very helpful and easy understanding video. Thanks for the good instruction. Keep up the good work
thanks! great lesson, now I can work out these songs!
Cool sound.
Cool Lesson dude !!!
