As Tears Go By (Lesson) - Rolling Stones

[@TheGravygun]

One of the prettiest Stone songs ever written

[@Jubilo1]

I enjoy you monologues.

[@ethangeorge1617]

I never noticed the similarities between this and “I’d love to change the world”until now.

[@frommetoyou4401]

5/11/2021 @Ethan George Good observation. That 10 Yrs. After song starts in E. J.J. mentioned "I'm sure there's a million more", meaning that there are loads of songs that use a similar chord progression.

[@mikeyj.3605]

Love to play this when I hear kids outside playing in the late afternoon.

[@lamper2]

hope this guy is ok miss him

[@jamesjames9275]

I’m doing just fine. I hope you are, too.

[@AliA-ns5jo]

@@jamesjames9275 like your channel a lot dude. Certainly my most watched channel and my mediocre yet growing guitar skills owe many thanks to you

[@ThaiThom]

Such a great song, one of the first I remember. Thanks!

[@crisrose521]

God as my witness . . I wrote an excellent song a while back called Running for Cover . A real GEM . Yet something was missing. Couldn’t quite put my finger on it . . Worked on the song for a few weeks . Came home after work and got right to it . A REALLY great tune . Something was missing . As I was driving my truck , on the WDRV radio station ( the Drive ) the DJ said , “ here’s a song from ‘76 that is instantly recognizable not only because of its beautiful intro , but because Tom Scholtz used his beloved 12 string on it “ . THAT WAS IT 😮 ! I immediately went to Guitar Center and bought a beautiful Breedlove 12 string . Finished the new song and went on a complete brainstorming writing spree and never looked back . Trust me , you’re a great player . YOU NEED A 12 STRING 😊

[@edbankston5593]

Dude, you are the man

[@jakeminor1967]

Takemine also my first. Probably round the same time. Still have it, still great, my luthier calls it the piano. Neck reset in the offing. Been with me since '73.

[@randymarsh5088]

Love the shirt JJ , never knew you had as good taste in automobilia as you do in music .

[@jesusmcvie]

Muchaaaaaaas gracias, desde México

[@mikefox2379]

Got confused, did you drop the low E string or is it standard tuning?

[@simonliew9728]

Thanks for sharing, just a short note most of us who listen to this song are mostly in the 60s or 70s like I am 😂👍👌

[@saigonexile531]

Missing you, James.

[@stevewhittaker1903]

Fantastic lesson .. I come back to it time again as I still Use all Those embellishments on other songs. Thnx a bunch from all those years ago. I hope your doing ok

[@benbadham6646]

Just got back into this song the other day and you do a lesson. Must be reading my mind

[@CRACKA205213]

I just started listening to this song!

[@edwardgarner1299]

Oh joy . . . a new lesson! I've been playing this for years very similarly, but you've corrected a few of the licks I didn't get just right. Thanks!

[@ieldepiel]

One of the first my uncle teached me, Great one!❤️

[@colauty2598]

Nice one, well put across, that guitar as some clarity, sounds great, cheers

[@truthstillmatters59]

Love this song. Thanks for posting!

[@willie6911bv]

Love it.......again.....terrific.

[@armandobolivar4988]

that 12 string rant was great lol

[@allentkatch1762]

Is it just me, or is the acoustic guitar on the Stones recording out of tune? I can also hear tuning issues on As Tears Go By. Good lesson, BTW.

[@ShiroiTengu]

Yes it is. Their early stuff was all flat as they were tuning to A432 and not 440

[@franksullivan8317]

Great job! Same way I play it. Good picking!

[@andytaylor4138]

I was waiting for this One

[@teegleason8044]

Perfect. Thanks J.J.

[@valsopuseight]

Excellent. Thanks for doing this one.

[@alkitzman9179]

Another Great choice JJ. This one is great practice for newer players to work on their hand control. You are so correct on your lessons. Everyone has to work on their own style of each song. Embellish a song to make it unique to ones own playing. And Just like you I can't really sing it and play it at the same time.

[@kolbpilot]

Just picked up a Yamaha FG 312 ll from a thrift store. With a set of new strings I've $105 in it. I rate it in very good condition and forty years old. I'll be practicing this & others on it.

[@drthunder1143]

Thanks so much JJ really appreciate your work.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Great stuff, as usual!

[@perlaaguinaldo]

This is the best guitar lesson I've ever heard like rollings tones. Thanks for sharing just subscribe today. I'll try to play it on my guitar only a beginner. 👍🙏🇵🇭🥰

[@DESERTCYCLI5T]

Great song, great lesson, great commentary, 👍👍

[@bayubenedictus4763]

So clear...looks easy to be learn. .so cool 👍

[@jimmyk5223]

Thanks for video

[@Nick-vm2ut]

James, any idea if the acoustic track on Brown Sugar is in open G or standard? I’ve been trying to work it out for ages. I assume that’s Keith

[@jamesjames9275]

Given the chord suspensions, I'd guess open G for the acoustic part.

[@stephl6722]

Tres bonne explication, pour une fois j'ai tout compris! thank you

[@davidedie1518]

Perfect timing. I have been working on this one.

[@FlugHerr]

Very nice JJ. Well done.

[@Fish260258]

Waiting for it ! Good job.

[@JK-wt5cq]

Thanks for the lesson! Cool song

[@mykesiosondayson6830]

Thanks brod,nice guitar lesson

[@andrewptob]

Lol at the 12-string rant. I’ve had one and they are a pain. It would be nice to have one laying around from time to time, but unless you’ve got money to burn, why waste the cash for it to collect dust?

[@JDrevolver66]

You kind of have to be particularly interested in people who used them regularly (say Tom Petty, even Warren Zevon) or a specialist in people who used them exclusively (Leo Kottke, Gordon Lightfoot) to be worth it. Acoustic-12 parts are surprisingly far between in classic rock when you think about it: The Beatles only had a handful; ditto even with Simon & Garfunkel.

[@AdaptivePhenix]

My solution is the Variax. Particularly in a live performance, the emulations of Acoustic and 12-string can be quite amazing when running through the PA (not a guitar amp though).

[@edbankston5593]

I have one for Neil Young. I also have a nine string which works well

[@pamk68]

Hi James! I love your channel - only recently discovered and love going through all the past videos. I am having difficulty with the tuning here ( I am fairly a new player)- is it just the low E tuned differently? Approx to what note lol? Thank you!

[@jamesjames9275]

All the strings are tuned down. Tune your E string to mine, and then tune all the other strings based on that. As I said, you don't need to know what note that is -- it's whatever the Rolling Stones decided it was on that day. Use your ears, not some electronic tuner.

[@vachirasakone]

Easy for me to follow.Thank.

[@giovannifarinacci4533]

Hi, this guitar is a J-200 or an SJ-200? It's the abalone on the bridge that isn't the same as others. Is this a special issue? Thank you for all your fantastic lessons.

[@jamesjames9275]

A J200 and an SJ 200 are the same thing. They were originally called an SJ for Super Jumbo, but most people just call them a J200. Some models have the inlay in the moustache bridge, some don’t. It depends on the year. Mine is from around 2002.

[@petethompson3510]

Is the j-200 still your fave? you bought a couple of others since ie the j-45 and the guild

[@wsavage3696]

Love it! After the base notes do you pick just what ever or do you have a pattern? I can’t tell.

[@jamesjames9275]

I tried to explain that at the beginning of the video.

[@antonij9869]

Great job, always look forward to your posts as I love the stones. The Shine a light version is also excellent. Only criticism is You’re missing a 70’s Flyers shirt

[@williamfleury4214]

Awesome awesome lesson thank you and love your channel. I am a very newbie beginner and would love to practice the picking for this but can't quite keep up with your right hand. Is there a tab of the right/picking anywhere that corresponds to your arrangement?

[@toddswartz3510]

How about keeping a guitar high strung or nashville tuned?

[@MrSpacebird413]

Billie Joe Armstrong did a great cover of this under his side project The Longshot if you wanna check it out. it's pretty good!

[@huylong71]

Tks!

[@ParkJimin-ec7zr]

galing!

[@nicox8913]

Howdy J.J., Not sure if you've put something like this out already, but you know what I would be excited to spend money on? It would be a collection of your guitar videos that folks like me could download all in one place. For example, having a patreon-type account where patrons who spend a one-time fee could download a file that includes all your videos. I was thinking that paying for that download would be a cool way of thanking you for putting out all these great videos for free, which have helped so many of us, and would allow us to be able to reference your videos offline while learning your guitar songs in a shack in the middle of the desert, 1000's of miles away from civilization. In any case, a big thank you for your amazing videos, and for helping us all along in our various guitar journeys. Much obliged, old boy. ~NICO

[@christopherstone1083]

Re: tuning to the recording. I learned recently from our piano teacher that the apparent change in pitch on the recording can be an artifact of the process of making the record. My son is a very high level pianist (wins competitions) and found some video game music he wanted to learn. We bought the sheet music and the official (vinyl) recording the composer made. As we listened to the record, his first impression...the pitch is off by a bit. In this case a bit sharp.

[@marcsullivan7987]

Yes. They may have had instruments tuned to that pitch, OR, the pitch of the master recording may have been altered (sped up, slowed down, etc) after the performance.

[@billyrayband]

It seems like almost every Stone recording is off pitch.

[@kellyp9438]

I had a lawsuit era Takimine acoustic guitar and I sold it 🤦🏻‍♂️ James if you get a chance google the story behind those, crazy, literally got the blueprints from Martin and built the same guitar hence “Lawsuit Era” cheers

[@jamesjames9275]

My Takamine 12 was outstanding. Wish I still had it.

[@daveg5857]

My E chord sill not sound like that, unfortunately, because I do not own an awesome Gibson, what is it, J45? Beautiful!

[@jamesjames9275]

That's a J200.

[@lrh411]

Nice job James. Is there any question that the Rolling Stones are the greatest band ever? Keith is a phenomenal song writer and guitar player, way better than most give him credit for and as soon as you try and copy him exactly you realize how difficult it really is. Great lesson to get us hacks moving in the right direction. ;-)

[@1oldkiter]

Nice

Hey, JJ. Have you been to the Musical Instrument Museum in Arizona? You would love it.

No, but I'd like to see it.

[@JK-wt5cq]

@@jamesjames9275 Yeah, they even have Who instruments, Keith’s drums and one of Pete’s Les Paul guitars. Plus instruments from all over the world.

[@TheRealSandleford]

Aged Marianne Faithfull sounds cool singing this! Brian wrote this didnt he?

[@jamesjames9275]

I'm pretty sure Mick and Keith wrote it, one of the first things they wrote together. There's a Brian Jones fanatic who will undoubtedly eviscerate me for saying this, but if Brian could write songs like this (especially at that point in the band's history), he'd have been their primary songwriter.

[@BigSky1]

Written by Mick and Keith in 1964 for Marianne Faithful.

[@markking7889]

Lady Jane... like chords

[@cjsligojones5101]

That's so funny, I was going to ask you why no 12 string? and you wrapped that up in five seconds.

[@frommetoyou4401]

5/11/2021 @cjsligo Jones I love the "jingle-jangle" sound of a nice 12 string. Even though JJ says that for now, he's not interested in one, I insist that they are extremely useful & appropriate for many songs. Surely, many of JJ's fans & students would enjoy if he did acquire a 12-string and incorporated it in his "tool box" of guitars.

[@jamesjames9275]

Alas, I buy guitars for me, not for anyone else.

[@cjsligojones5101]

@@jamesjames9275 Only reason I mentioned it is that I just got my first one and am trying to learn the ropes.

[@aa-vg9yn]

12s are not a PITN when set up right (light and low) . I am sure you know better luthiers than I but pls ( p12 ?) but take the p12unge again ! I am not enabled to have high end 12s but some yamahas ( gasp) have nice narrow (1.82") necks. Im holding a very lively , "leaf" head stock FG460 for instance that starts talking soon as I pick it up. but what do I know? I still think 944's (S2) were a great Porsche. ( yea Ill try a old Tak someday) Thanks for all the lesson modes lately. Tis most beneficial to give us a tuning reference when required per recording. Your singing is coming across great . Loose it or lose it I alwaz sez !

[@kolbpilot]

I was telling James, I picked up a Yamaha FG-312 ll. I restrung it with extra light (.009 high E) strings & it stays in tune quite well. I think living in the mid-west helps with lower humidity.

[@Andrew850]

I really wish you would play the song all the way through first and then go into the details of it

[@jamesjames9275]

To be honest, I don’t really care if you like my videos or not. You’re free to watch somebody else.

Please accept my apologies for those who comment rudely under the guise of being "helpful."

[@jamesjames9275]

People who are "in the club" understand that all the context and history and trivia are important to becoming a well-rounded guitar player. One thing that makes my channel different is that I'm not aiming for maximum popularity. I'm not catering to anyone's interest but my own. Some people don't like that, and they should watch some other channel.

[@dreamboi5068]

Can I asked question my friends .it's just lowing the E

[@jamesjames9275]

All strings.

[@marcsullivan7987]

Your channel is awesome, and precisely they way I want to see a song tutorial. Keep ignoring the haters WT Hell is wrong with people. When I started out, no KZbin. I took lessons for a the first couple years. It cost money. Now there are plentiful lessons online-all different kinds, all different people-but people complain about free content. Some viewers on Tom Bukovac’s channel (Homeskoolin. It’s awesome!) were doing the same stupid stuff. “The sound isn’t good.” “You should work on the editing. Lighting”

[@robinhood480]

And why doesn’t he play the violin 🎻 part ? Uh..... yeah. I know what you mean. I am really grateful for anything James James offers. Great channel

[@jeffleduc1398]

Is that a danger hold tag on you amp? Lol

[@alexbowman7582]

Isn’t it a corruption of an Italian popular tune?

[@jrparchitect]

JJ, been following you for years, good work! Hey, I hope you will do something no other Youtoober has tried even though I've asked several of your compatriots. There is a prog rock group that had a following in the '70s called Rennaisance. Five-octave female lead singer and great orchestrations. They did a simple tune called "I Think of You". (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHTbmKmam6-IrdU). Show me how to do it, please!

[@AdaptivePhenix]

Would be a heck of a lot more convenient if you went straight in to playing the tune and left all the yapping to the end. Some of us don't need the explanations and it can be irritating having to FF to the important part.

[@jamesjames9275]

You might try watching some other channel where they don’t talk about the songs. It sounds like you’d be less irritated watching a channel like that, a channel other than this one. Beyond that advice, I can’t really help you with your problem.

[@Rainman270]

Loved it. So,whats the name of the tuning ? Thanks
