Stay With Me (Faces) guitar tutorial: riffs in open E tuning

Open tunings are an important part of the sound of rock & roll, and Ronnie Wood's open E riffs in this song are essential - and a window into the approach he would later use alongside Keith Richards in the Rolling Stones.

What is that you did to the tailpiece cover ??? I have never seen anyone do that before ...what is it there for ?? ...

Another fine lesson. Just out of interest, why not tune to Open D and capo on 2? Is it because of the awkwardness of playing too far up the neck or does it just sound better with the strings under the additional tension?

[@NashvilleGuitarGuru]

You would get the same notes, but yes, I think a 14th fret bar might be awkward. And I definitely like the projection and life you get from from higher string tension.

Great job - is E tuning hard on a guitar?

[@NashvilleGuitarGuru]

I wonder if it might be worthwhile to use lighter strings if you were going to keep a guitar in a high tuning like E instead of a low one like D or G. However, I've kept a dreadnought acoustic in open E with light strings without any trouble.
