Best ROLLING STONES Open G Tuning Songs EVER!

[@rebmik5791]

Love open G, started playing Stones a while back and it's so much fun. Have a guitar that I leave in open G all the time now.

[@doubledsrockschool]

Nice! I have a Gibson es125 that I do the same with!

[@AdaptivePhenix]

Meh, I have two Variax and _four_ Peavey AT-200s which means I'm able to switch tunings mid-song. AT-200s also auto-tune (without changing string tension) and virtual capo-up and capo-down. Love these things.

[@doubledsrockschool]

Wow! What a great tool. Thanks for sharing.

[@zeloblues]

Great video! List of songs: Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Woman, Can´t you hear me knocking, Happy (capo), Jumpin´Jack Flash (capo), Tumbling Dice (capo), Start me Up, Gimme Shelter

[@doubledsrockschool]

Thank you!!

[@lengross4126]

Easily one of the best Stones lessons I've ever seen. It's amazing how much you can learn in 15 minutes. Also that Strat you"re playing sounds fantastic.

[@doubledsrockschool]

Thank you so much, Len! I appreciate the good vibes!! Keep on Rockin!

[@fus149hammer5]

I'm getting back to playing after far too many years with my guitar shoved up in the attic. I'm 30 years further down the line and since I last played "in anger" the music world has changed with the arrival of the Internet. Now there's so many sites to learn from like here that were never available before. I think I'm going to enjoy making up for lost time. That guitar in the attic? Totally useless now but I've just bought a beautiful old strat and can't wait to get into some of Keefs riffs.😊 Thanks for the demo!

Another great video, Dwane. I also keep one of my guitars in open G. I've found that It is a good way to interest young people to the electric guitar, even if they've never held one. I usually start them off with "Bad to the Bone". The expression on their faces is priceless. That's one cool shirt, BTW.

[@doubledsrockschool]

Thank you! I dig that shirt too!! Open G tuning is so much fun and open a whole new palette of sound! I can imagine the face of a beginner when they first hear that classic riff and see how simple it is to play! Have a great day!

[@spidgeb3292]

Great review of open G riffs! It's lots of fun and people who haven't tried it really should. You'll pick it up really quickly. Plus it's a commonly-used key for slide and makes it less noisy and less intimidating...for me, at least. Love your original work, too. Keep 'em coming!! Another great open tuning song: Jungle Love by Steve Miller, in open A. One of the more enjoyable challenges I took on.

I was just giving "Love You Live" a listen. Not sure why that live album gets lukewarm reviews from some, I think it's great and it's a real open G showcase for Keith. Anyway, thanks for a good fun lesson. I could use more detail on the Can't You Hear Me Knockin' intro - that one's tough for me. I play open G a lot, but I like to go for the low notes on the D and wouldn't dream of taking it off. Hope you don't mind me mentioning one of my open G songs - Rosetta West - Deeper Than Magic (labyrinth version) on KZbin.

[@doubledsrockschool]

For sure, I will check out your tune! Thanks for the feedback. Can't You Hear Me Knocking has a challenging groove. Keith is so funky on that one.

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

@@doubledsrockschool my favorite Stones tunes are Brown Sugar (that opening riff is killer!), Gimme Shelter, Start Me Up, Hang Fire, Waitin' On a Friend, Shattered (though I play that on an EBe cbg), there are so many! I play Pearl Jam tunes, Foo Fighters, Green Day (Jesus of Suburbia is epic!), ZZ Top Black Sabbath, ...I've also been working on adapting PF's Dark Side of the Moon for the past few years (Us and Them is my favorite) That said, I do mostly the chords not much of the soloing ... I've compiled a notebook of tunes with my shorthand version of tabs (that only I can understand...well mostly...months later I'll look at a "tabbed" tune and think "Geez, what's that mean? Why did I write it like that? 🤣) I took guitar lessons in the mid '60's, hated practicing and quit. When I discovered 3 string cbgs about 6 years ago and found I could play rock I was hooked! I build'em and play'em!! Well, that was probably way more than you needed to know!! 🤣 but, thanks for asking!!!

[@doubledsrockschool]

That's super cool! Thanks for the details! So many great ideas! Is there a place where I could see one of your cigar box guitars. I have a 4-string cigar box that I tune GGDg. I was thinking of doing an episode on that. What do you think?

[@josh24441]

Cool video but I do want to point out that you’re playing Jumping Jack Flash wrong. On the part when you hit the single strings, on the third note you’re supposed to rotate between your first finger and ring finger. On the second repeat of that riff, the note is supposed to go two steps higher, then back to the first on the third time. It’s hard to explain it on here (that’s about the best way I can explain it) but listen to that riff again carefully, even slow it down if you can and you’ll totally hear what I’m talking about. :)

If you leave the 6th string on tune it down to D. Was hoping you'd do Wild Horses.

[@doubledsrockschool]

I did on vol 2!

[@billyevans908]

lnstead of tuning the bottom E to D or removing it try tuning it to G. lt gives you a solid bass having 2 G's and leaves 6 strings on the guitar for retuning.

[@doubledsrockschool]

That is a great option. I like to have the D on the top. It gives a nice low-end punctuation when you go to the V chord. But tune my cigar box guitar with 2 G's in the low end. It sounds thick! Thanks for the tip!!

I put orange drop capacitors on the tones knobs and that sweet pickguard I bought on Amazon. I love hot rodding strats!

[@glyniswhitbread5417]

Thanks for explaining how to tune in Open G, Keith Richards style. Why did you tuned the E string when Keith doesn't use that string ? I would have liked to know what the other chords were as I am still learning and I find it difficult and too fast to keep up with some of the tutorials here on KZbin

[@doubledsrockschool]

Just because Keith removes the top string doesn't mean everyone has to. You can still play the songs with the top string on. Most players who use open G leave it on. When you say you want to the other chords, do you mean all the chords in one song? What song would you like to learn?

[@glyniswhitbread5417]

@@doubledsrockschool I wasn't suggesting anyone remove the E string, I wanted to know why you tuned it and how did you know what key to tune it to ?

[@doubledsrockschool]

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. I have the open G tuning memorized. From low strings to high strings, 6th string is D, the 5th is G, the 4th is D the 3rd is G and the 2nd is B, the 1st is D and there you have a wonderful open G chord with D in the bass. So when you play a G chord, you can mute the top string, and you'll have G, the tonic on the 5th string. It's just a memorization thing. Does that help?

[@glyniswhitbread5417]

@@doubledsrockschool Yes thank you, perhaps I didn't explain properly. I have listened to Keith Richards play open G but like all Stones concerts and videos it's not a learning experience.

Do you need to use the Capo to achieve the open G sound?

[@ElaineWood-f2t]

Hey Double D! If you've read Keith's book, he talks about hearing bands trying to play Stones songs in standard tuning, and they just don't sound right. IF you don't know "the secret" of open G, you don't get it.

[@doubledsrockschool]

I read his autobiographie, and I loved it. I spent years play JJ Flash and Honkey Tonk in standard and of course they never sounded right. In 2010, I learned Start Me Up and Happy in Open G and the rest just fell into place.

You play the opening lick to Honky Tonk Women right with the bend. I slide a full step. Keith does the slide more often these days but you're playing it like the album.
