Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones

[@tiki_trash]

It's so nice to see a lesson where they don't spend an hour saying, "Now put your finger on the 7th fret and then..." Thank you.

[@frommetoyou4401]

10-25-220 @tiki trash The lessons for the most part seem to be for us players who have a decent working knowledge and experience of how to play songs. So our Instructor does not usually give those type of "put your finger on the 7the fret" etc., explanations. There are several other YT music instructors who operate in a similar manner. It is expected that the "student" already is "up & running" with their guitar or bass playing. That recognized, some additional detailed explanations can be useful, e.g. with uncommon chords and complex parts.

[@adamwarlock5286]

I'm not blinking first

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Tiki trash you're right about that It takes almost 3 minutes to explain a d chord 🤣

[@jsz1962]

By far the greatest guitar resource on KZbin, in my opinion.

[@GirlsGamesGunsGuitar]

Seriously. I've learned more from James's channels than any other. If there's a song I'm curious about, I search his stuff first.

[@TonkaGoldman-xd5iw]

Brilliant!

[@stonz82]

100%

[@bungy007]

That and his old Private Tricker channel.

[@riklionheart23]

Fully agree! The first place I go to online to to learn a tune.

[@limamarco]

We never have enough of James’s stones.

[@elmago9547]

Well,one thing for sure.you know its gonna be great.

[@eggy68]

I always get chills when Merry's voice breaks on that third round. So funny to hear the guy's reaction bleed through.

Actually Merry Clayton was pregnant while singing this and gave herself a miscarriage while hitting that note!!!! So Rock & Roll!!!!!

[@jamesbuchanan1616]

Arguably one of the greatest rock songs of all time. I start everyday with this one in my playlist

[@goodtimecharlieplaymoor]

PIcked up a guitar at 55 years old and 8 years later just love it. I have been inspired by Tricker James more than any other youtuber. Cool tones, cool guitars, cool songs, great lessons, cool shirts, talented player. Thanks for all these. Keep on rocking, I will, in part because of your body of work.

[@Dale-rp3ry]

I have been listening to the Rolling Stones for 58 years , thank u James James for setting it right about Kieth after all these decades .

[@tonelok]

Now that's the way to kick off the weekend!

[@eaglesmann024]

Yes you know what a good time is

[@mrsoul4231]

Everyone raves about the intro(quite rightly of course) but the rhythm guitar part is pretty outstanding in it’s own right imo,especially when it’s played correctly.Thank you for this.

[@TheBigDean18]

It's pretty fun too play that part in standard tuning as well, there's video from the 90's of Keef with the Wino's playing it solo and he does it in standard.

[@flinchey6962]

Great Gretsch right here, thank you James, I’m a beginner guitar player, you’ve shown me to play all my favorite stones tunes, acoustically and electric

[@ApricotHurlforth]

What a star you are PT. Excellent!

[@jollyroger190]

ApricotHurlforth He certainly is. Love it when he does Stones songs. It’s almost like getting a lesson from old Keef himself! Keep rocking JJ

[@tfdharley1360]

That was a great song to just stare at the pretty guitar and listen to it chuggin’ like a choo-choo! Sweetness....

[@JLBurg]

Out-f*(king-standing! Thank you James James!

[@snacklofter]

This is what we want!! Superb!

[@luissegura1580]

Thanks so much James, this is one of my favorite Stones song of all time….

[@kerwinbenedicttan345]

JJ, its been years since I've stumbled upon the Privetricker channel. I've always been just a lurker, but i have to thank you now. Your Stones covers and lessons inspired me to advance my guitar playing further. Cannot thank you enough!

[@kerwinbenedicttan345]

Jj, I did this with your help😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIrLgZl_lseMipo

Nice. Love these old Stones songs.

[@leoburke8466]

That is fabulous JJ . I must say you have Keith down pat, thank you!

I have a lot of things to be thankful for. You ARE one of them. I’d love to live next door. Health and happiness to my brother I’ve never met.

[@orcwot2786]

an awesome job. one of the best channels on youtube thanks for the content !

[@77hodag]

Love the tone of your Gretsch!

[@bradbrown8759]

This was Awsome! I heard the stones recorded this in Muscle shoals. And the studio band the swampers came up with that Awsome rhythm riff. Killer jam👍

[@jamesjames9275]

The Muscle Shoals sessions were after this was recorded. I think the MS songs were Brown Sugar, You Gotta Move, and Wild Horses.

[@flyingburritobro68]

James James correct. It was recorded at Olympic Studios in London during multiple sessions in 1969. Keith plays ALL of the guitars. Jones was already gone and Taylor joined later that year. Mixed at Electra Hollywood where Merry Clayton did the great backup vocals!

[@ernestj3081]

Brilliant James 🎸🎶😛🌟

The best song I’ve seen performed live! Minneapolis 2015

[@spoonbender123]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@windyhillbomber]

That harmonica...dang! As great as the guitar work is, and Merry Clayton’s show stopping vocals, it remains Mick’s harmonica that gives the song its apocalyptic snarl

[@6stringgunner511]

Excellent lesson, james!!! Thank you!!!

[@lucabuchignani1141]

this is my fav stones song 😌

[@jaylair6366]

I wonder, which is your favorite version/tuning for this song and why? I think I've seen three now, all sound great to me, I kinda like playing it in standard so far, but this sounds perfect! I tend to practice on an acoustic and don't really like tuning it to open E though.

[@jamesjames9275]

Jay Lair To me, open E sounds best.

[@thekon1298]

If you're scared of putting a lot of extra tension on your guitar, you could do the same tuning but a full step down. That's what I did, just put a capo on the 2nd fret and play everything a little higher :)

[@AlexHamelMusic]

Nice one! One of those songs that echo through time.

[@jfkesq]

fantastic playing

[@BenjWarrant]

Those opening notes... they take me back to the era of Vietnam and nuclear fear, not knowing whether the assholes in the Pentagon were any stupider than the assholes in the Kremlin, thinking you have your whole life ahead of you and being convinced that it wouldn't be long...

Always a good job!

[@spencerfristad2407]

When ever I hear this song I always get visions of the helicopters in Vietnam back in the war

[@Christian_Decroze]

Spencer, no, no. You're confusing The Rolling Stones with the CCR. In ANY Director's mind, war + Vietnam + helicopters = CCR, preferably "Fortunate Son" 😉.

[@LokkieF]

Wasn't it used in the documentary Letters From Vietnam?

[@eyespyu9696]

Gimme Shelter Would have been Epic in Apocalypse Now. Satisfaction was Good though. Hendrix's version without lyrics of All along the Wall Tower too. Ride of Valkyries was symbolic because Valkyries are the angels of death in Warfare. A little too clever idea that didn't age well.

@@jamesjames9275 I don't think it was me.I follow you since about 14 years and I stole sort to speak a lot of how you play and fingersetting etc..You did this song in standard tuning on the PT channel and I have tried it out to play it that way but in open E it sounds better IMO.Also I don't give bad replies specially on good musicians .It's not my style to do that .Compared to you I have still a long way to go but I like the way you act and for an European I can understand your english very well .I even had promoted your site to friends of me to look on how to play .

[@jamesjames9275]

@@sharkytwo No, don't worry, it was somebody else. And I get those comments all the time, it doesn't bother me. I just don't want the whole atmosphere of this channel to turn into people treating each other like dirt. There's enough of that already on social media. This is a positive place, and it's going to stay that way. Glad to hear you're enjoying the guitar. I don't think we can be fully formed people without a deep interest in music.

[@sharkytwo]

@@jamesjames9275 Well I have the same opinion considering comments on channels .I always try to be politie .Some people think they are so much better .Probably most are teens I think .Now about playing open E or G .Do you block all 6 strings ? I struggle to block them properly or is it due to the long time you play that your pointer finger has shaped a bit to the neck .Or it's just enough sometimes to block the top strings mostly and mute or let ring the rest .

[@lu77xiaojun37]

i like to crank this up and play along doing all of Mick Taylor's parts. They were really awesome when Mick Taylor was playing and writing all their songs. Mick Taylor this and Mick Taylor that. Its just a shame he decided to break up the band. I often wonder whatever happened to Keith and Charlie and that guy that sang and played the harmonerca.

[@saucyjk6453]

[@SuperShawn2020]

Have you seen the recent video of Keith playing Gimme Shelter? The intro sounds very good - but Keith is out of sight when it's being played. He only appears in view after the intro is completed. This has led to speculation a ghost player now plays the intro. I have a hard time believing they would do that - a flubbed note or two is part of the Stones' live charm. I will see them in Nashville on Saturday night.

[@anthonycarvale]

Great job. Which Gretsch is this?

[@jamesjames9275]
