Open G tuning guitar lesson. Keith Richards style chords. Brown Sugar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2013
- Jay Stevens from www.iwannarock.ca shows you the basics of 5 string open G tuning and how to play those Keith Richards chord shapes.
This lesson touches on Keith's signature shapes of sus chords and the add9 chord.
Song examples are similar to the Rolling Stones, such as but not specifically, Brown sugar, You can't always get what you want, and Start me up.
(and a little bit of Zeppelin at the end)
COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER...apparently some record company thinks it's not cool for me to teach you how to play specific songs, so I had to change the video so it doesn't include the Stones song I briefly played at the end of the video. For the record, this video doesn't cover any particular Keith Richards songs, but just the style and chords used for some of his biggest riffs.
I like this guy. Smart, easy to understand and no attitude. Hard to find a guitar player with these traits.
Lol. Dude plays almost every Keith lick from '68 to '81 in these few minutes. Well done, sir!
"lol" 🤦🏻♂️
Keith and the Rolling Stones built an entire career from the Sus 4th chord. Sting and The Police built an entire career from the Sus 2nd chord. Great sounds. Rock on Sirs!
No joke you just answered 50years of “I wonder”…THANK YOU!!
6 years later and your way of teaching is still helping people "get it" like we need it. Thanks for this, man.
Duuude!!! Listened for decades. You just laid it all out. What a teacher you are. And that my friends is a GIFT!
Holy crap I wish I knew this 20 years ago , fricken awesome thank you.
In 1964 I set down the clarinet and picked up guitar after watching the Beatles. 57 years and I just found this tuning and I'm totally stoked. I wish someone would have shown that teenager this back in the 70's or even the 80's how simple and basic this is. I was playing all the same notes but it never sounded right. This is remarkable video AND a great lesson.
Many thanks my friend.
Wishing I had found your lessons long ago. You cut through a lot of unnecessary , and get to the good stuff. Your a good guitar player and teacher. Thank you much.
Thanks so much!
Great easy examples and step by step techniques to re create these legendary sounds..very interesting for beginning guitar players and STONES fans
Thanks my man. I just lost half my first finger and the top of my second but now see i can incorporate this to getting back to playing a few tunes again. Thanks Mr.
been playing guitar for decades but only now diving into open G. Thx Jay!!!
I just started 3 days ago and open G is the only thing I can play so far, I can do some generic strumming with bar chords on the 5th and 7th as well as some blues shuffle stuff and I love it.
Great video! Check out these 5 string Open G variations, and you'll be glad you did:
1. Starting with your standard Open G tuning, drop the B string half a step for Open G minor (G D G A# D)
2. Starting with your standard Open G tuning, drop the low G string to an E for super jazzy/(added 6th) barre chords (E D G B D)
Not sure how I didn't find this before but so glad I watched it now. This stuff is so much fun. What a cool element to add to my playing, so Thanks a lot for posting this. The Danelectro sounds awesome too....
Thanks. Been using open G for Dylan songs for years even though he doesn't. Now you have opened my world to the Stones.
Jay, excellent concise very compelling and "easy to get" lesson...you're great at this.
Great job on covering some of the great Keef riffs!
Lol. Thanks for the lesson on EVERY Stones song! Thanks for getting to the brass tax. I've been playing a while so it was nice to see someone simply run through a bunch of the riffs in one video. Great work and thank you.
Brilliant video, thank you so much for explaining this. As a beginner, I've watched tons of stuff trying to get the Keef sound, but this is the best. Thanks again, from a lifelong British Stones fan living in the US :-)
Thank you so much! I am a retired guy who is relearning guitar and the old songs are so fun and familiar. Love it. Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for demystifying Keef riffs in the most economical fashion.
great video. no dicking around. just down to earth, and getting the info out. Thanks much.
Jack Flank Thanks!
Totally agree. Great teacher!
What a simple clear style of teaching. Great.
cool video, i like that moment you found the start me up.
That guitar really brings it out ! Nice playing and instructions too. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Other musicians have been telling to I gotta try Open G tuning and I've been hesitant only because I've been playing standard tuning for fifty years. Your eight minutes here have given me enough traction to work with to give it a shot. Cheers!
glad you got some use out of the lesson. Check out my other open G lessons for some more songs and riffs
One of the clearest lessons I've seen.
The Richard's riffs are sick as hell. Open G Awesome!!
Fabulous! I've been playing Brown Sugar (and others) in bar bands in the UK for years, and just learned something I missed out!! Huge respect - great video! @MarkTwrites
THE best quick GREAT guitar lesson EVER !!!
THANK YOU MUCH!
Great lesson. Thanks for showing so much and keeping it so simple.
Thanks. It is amazing how much practice it takes to get your fingers accustomed to hitting the right strings simultaneously and with enough strength to play the desired chords at will. I've got a long way to go, but its great fun. Thanks for the helpful video.
How have you gotten along since You commented,with your guitar playing?!! Did you crack it or leave it,I'm curious to know 😅.. I hope you stuck with it as We All go thru what you were experiencing at the time..😊😊
Thanks, Jay! Great demo, and really helpful. Appreciate your help
+Ron Hedblad Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind comment!
thanks very much one of the best lessons on UA-cam straight to the
point no waffle or bamboosle look foward to next one
BEST Guitar Lesson I ever had.
Thanks !!!
Keif is all I want to play - so you have helped me tremendously !!!
THANKS !!!
Keith is the GUVENOR. He is ROCK AND ROLL.
many thanks this is the first time i've tried the open g tuning, well i've only been playing guitar for 56 years, lmao all good fun
Wonderful info that I seriously need. I'm in my sixties and working on my bucket list which includes learning how to play guitar. My hands and posture are damaged from sports and work so I have a real problem with standard tuning which makes it very frustrating and depressing. You have given me an alternative method and hope for which I am truly very grateful.
One of the best guys i ever see in UA-cam. If not the best. I learn só much from you. If you ever come to France you have à couple of meals and beers payed ! Thank you and keep going!
Maybe one day!
Thanks for all the info! Yes you did fly thru there,but it was cool and watch it again. I try and keep up. All the best.
thanks for a great lesson, your a good guitarist and modest to boot!
And the right set of strings for this tuning is: 11-15-18-30-42. That is what Keith is using according to his guitar tech.
Excellent lesson! I guess I've found what I'll be doing during today's snow storm here in Boston. Thanks!
Hi Jay,
Great and uncomplicated tutorial ,open G ,just found it easy to follow and great sounding chords and the riff's sound good so i will give it a go maybe get a lot closer to what i like to play , open G seams to fall into my bag,thanks again !
Awesome!!! You're awesome at putting it in perspective thank you for that!
Wow. This is an exciting lesson. Thank you!
Excellent stuff. Thanks for the overview, wish I'de watched this 8 years ago
Great video, Jay. Thanks. Keith talks about this at length in his book. I thought it was funny when he talked about bands that played covers of Stones songs but played them in standard tuning. They just don't sound right. It's so true. I'm not a good player and I was amazed at how these good chords sound when played this way.
Great lesson my man, love open G tuning especially with Keith Richard in mind. I’ve just subscribed to your channel keep up the good from Charlie🎸🎸. Scotland 🏴 UK.
the four positions of keef! awesome. thank you!
Great free lesson ! I really appreciate
it.
Simple and direct ! Very good !
Thanks for breaking it down man! Gotta do some slide work this week and you really, really helped me man! Cheers! :)
I think the open G tuning was key to their success! It's such a cool sound ya can't get with regular tuning!
On certain songs only.
Really helpful, I've been writing songs using 5 string open G and need to find more scope! Just seen the other vids too - thanks a lot for these!!
Perfect, am about to demo a Broadcaster built with vintage 50's wire, needed some Keith stuff thats easy and this is IT! Thanks.
Real nice & clear, thanks Jay!
Dave in the Adirondacks 🤠🎸
Great lesson. I quit using open G to learn true guitar theory. You give it new life, I'll tune one of my guitars to 5 string open G, it should be fun!
Thank you man….you have helped me out big time….this is a blast
Spot on! Clean and to the point!
A Toronto Maple Leaf fan.Leaf Nation forever.Good lesson too
What a Gem of a lesson,so well explained and made simple for idiots like me.Thankyou such a big help.I will be watching all your videos.
Thanks for doing this. Great video. Very much appreciated!
Great playing Jay!
Your Danelectro looks awesome . I have the 59 wishbook special Silvertone but it's not that
clean but she still plays like a dream . Great video I've been wanting to spend a little time in
open G so this video is a great start thanks . You have a blessed one .
Very cool, I'd always heard about open tuning but never really looked into it. I'm reading Richards' book right now and he never shuts up about it. Maybe I'll learn a few riffs now.
That is THE SOUND. Genius.
love the danelectro i had one just like it same color 58 u1 though, my first guitar.
Thanks for the lesson Jay!
Thanks, great lesson without all the boring chatter. Really appreciate it
I took the low E off of my Taylor acoustic, tuned to open G and its great. It rings like a bell and you can form some odd chord forms that you wouldn't play on a guitar with standard tuning. ( can I get an award for longest sentence?)
Good lesson, thanks. I hope Stones songs pop 'oot' for me now too.
Thanks for the tutorial. I love Open G tuning
Nicolas Boulay Thanks for watching! Open G is fun and it's a great way to get your guitar playing out of a rut!
man he makes it sound so complicated but this made it easier. and plus 1 on using the good ole danelectro.
Thank you! I completely agree with Jim Brown.
love your teaching dude
Good stuff!! Thanks for the video!
Your a great teacher brother ! Thanks
Very interesting and informative, thanks for posting
Super helpful lesson!
Awesome. Always wondered why KR's guitar sounded different.
Thanks Jay, appreciate it.
Very good thank you so much,,
The mysteries of rock 'unveiled'
Love the low tech 'zoom in' @1:44
😉👍
good lesson. breaking it down, and fun!
You make it look easy. Thanks so much.😊
I'm a older newbie.. I'm learning on a classicle electric acoustic guitar... wider string spacing... Much easier for me to make these chords with out touching other strings.. I also threw away the low string.... I found out that open g is also a common tuning for 5 string banjo.. just get a banjo chord book and your good to go.. Thanks for a great upload 😁👍
Very helpful, Jay thanks much
again thank you sir! Love to see some open A
Great lesson mate!..thanx a bunch
Good lesson. Very helpful. Thanks
I just built a five string cigar box guitar. Now I have some guidance on how to play it. Thanks a lot.
Great lesson and I see a Toronto Maple Leaf sticker on your wall, sooo!, you are Tops man!
Made sense... the better explanation and chord playing... makes it easier to sound like old Keefy...
Dude!!! So cool! Thank you!
Thank you bro i love this !
This is brilliant! Thank you!!!
Good on ya Jay!
very fun to play this style.
Thanks a lot Jay!! Got a lot out of that! :)
Great lesson bro thank you
thank you especially for showing the practice drill...
great post!, I just yanked a string off my Tele and tuned to open G :)
Keith says this: You're gonna wanna try this tuning when it's about time for new strings cause it's a 5 string tuning.
