I love the way you guys capture history and demystify Keith's work...he is truly a genius.

[@christovammatheus5208]

Yeees!! FINALLY I found the right way to play Jumping Jack Flash!! Thank you very much!

[@legebakken1]

Thanks !! For the good sounding intro in older versions you need to play and tune it like this. The sound of the intro in old versions has been a mystery until this video ! Thanks ! And yes, he is just using openG, 5 strings and capo these days. But then the great sounding old intro is impossible.

[@czopko1]

Wonderful you HIT IT brother Im always SO HAPPY when a fellow guitarists gets it correctly figured out ACCURATELY Thx Bro

[@xabiercruz4408]

Great vidéo ! Thank you so much! Cheers from France!

[@PieIX]

Open E is correct tuning for the record. Later for live he switched to Tele's and Open G capoed at the 4th.What I am trying to find out is how he played it in 1969 at Madison Square Garden

[@philhoward8745]

Nice work out. It's very much one of the many guitar's parts played in the original tune.

[@thelouds5288]

Your tutorial video of how to play this song the right way is by far the best I have come across, well done

[@martinahogg]

Great lesson - thanks!

[@VishnuSam]

Great song

[@ericklynen732]

To clarify: The gold guitar used at the beginning of the video to show that the song is in open E tuning is a Duesenberg. The sunburst guitar used for the lesson is a Vox SSC55.

[@carlosramsey4092]

Where's part 2??? Great to have some insight into the original version, sounds better than any other version, Stones are tuned between E and D# so constantly have to retune when playing along with the original or with this version..still very helpful tho so thanks :)

[@BusinessWizzard]

Would love to see the second part man, when are you gonna make it?!?

[@Melvorgazh]

Seems good. Thanks

[@opengtuning]

..and I want that Dberg guitar too!

[@robwarren4425]

Nice one!

[@PieIX]

Mick Taylor is in standard tuning. Keith is in Open G . This for Ya Ya's show MSG /69

[@green323turbo]

Thats a nice guitar.

[@freqcy]

Great teaching good guitars good sound great fingering and tunning. Will buy Nick

[@ewit2112]

Hi all, The guitar is a Vox SSC55 - a very versatile instrument and currently the favorite humbucker guitar equipped guitar I own.

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Keiths Favorite song,,,,, 😁🖒

[@marinafmachine]

Duesenberg yeaaaah !!!!

[@Mark70609]

Where is part 2 of the video? Great detail in the video.

[@jackinvox]

Keith began using Open G (capo 4) on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" after Ry Cooder introduced him to the tuning in 1969. This lesson reflects the original studio recording from 1968 when Open E was still Keith's most frequently used open tuning ("Street Fighting Man," "Gimme Shelter," etc.).

[@michaelcaliri2795]

Jack was released in 1968

[@tonymikolich5873]

Released in 69, recorded in 68. Jack Allen is spot on

[@philfrank9226]

Not Gimme Shelter. He often used open d.

[@dressedtokisstribute]

that opening riff is definetly the wierdest thing i've ever heard or seen i mean what was goin through keith's head when he came up with that...wow!!!

[@DMSProduktions]

LSD?

[@michaelcaliri2795]

Bill Wyman says he came up with that riff fucking around on the piano

[@hasbullahbule4733]

SO MANY TRICK IN YOUR GUITAR TUNING.. KEITH... HOW SMART ARE YOU...........

[@professorpick]

can you only view the first page of this tab for free?

[@DDEENY]

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" had always been a mystery to figure out the proper way(s) of playing the riff and different parts. Open E tuning has always been suspected for the opening riff, and the distorted half acoustic/half electric guitar sound, which is equally important, has never been able to be replicated again; not even by Keith himself. (The same holds true for the "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" guitar riff.) Alas, at the end of the day, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" uses different guitar tracks on the record played with different tunings, and has also evolved played live by Keith Richard, Brian Jones (for what it's worth), Mick Taylor and Ron Wood. Early on, Keith can be seen playing the song with an uncapoed guitar in what appears to be standard tuning as seen in the the 1968 ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS performance. (Brian also appears to playing in standard tuning.) By the time of the 1969 Hyde Park Concert, Keith had already switched to playing in his adopted open G tuning capoed at the 4th fret to put him in open B. But the opening riff on the record was completely scrapped and never, ever played live, which is a shame because it's so great.

[@trampforthelord]

there is a bit of Brian Jones on the original, and the original was always my favorite, as with the awesome promo film for the tune as well i'd say Brian had the look !

[@philfrank9226]

Yeah, u know the right history, cool.Keith also played open d capo`d at second fret.

[@Sreybk]

This is the correct way.

[@ericklynen732]

To clarify: the gold guitar used to illustrate that the song is in open E tuning is a Deusenberg. The sunburst guitar used for the lesson is a Vox SSC55.

[@edmiglia]

It looks like a Vox SSC33 to me. Maybe not, many look vox's alike. Nice tone for 60's rock.

[@Vavoom09]

I like the open E tuning. For one guitar though, I just like your first phrase/riff. The opening B muting the open G. That intro sounds the best of what I've seen so far. But the rest would be to sparse for one guitar player. You must be giving examples for one and two guitars though.

[@MichaelCaliri]

E - B - E -E - B -E can be played like this too The E instead of the G# give it that drone sound.

[@Quispel]

what guitar do you play? it has a nice ringing sound...

[@bryanmbaka4938]

What makes that high-pitched sound?

[@terrywitzu7874]

Aww, open E. I'm gonna need more guitars (twist my arm).

[@senselessmonkee]

I think they used both, standard tuning and open E tuning together on separate guitars. Gave it a layered sound. Might be some piano on the riff as well. I read they spent a few days getting the riff how they wanted with the different instruments.

[@andrewwhittaker6337]

Donu Duty lead guitar never plays in an open tuning...

[@senselessmonkee]

Obviously

[@DMSProduktions]

Bullshit!

[@aaronstang21]

The tuning explanation is the first thing after the intro. It's played in open E: E - B - E - G# - B - E

[@michaelcaliri2795]

you can do E-B-E-E-B-E too, nice sounding drone

[@Kelly14UK]

I have always thought they just took Satisfaction and came up with this.

[@senselessmonkee]

Not really, they came up with the basic riff which is similar to satisfaction's and played around with variations of it . But the actual song is very different in melody and subject matter.

[@Kelly14UK]

Donu Duty So you agree with me haha. It was the riff I was referring to : )

[@cct17]

What is the guitar that he's using?

[@jackinvox]

That's a Duesenberg Starplayer TV in the tuning portion, a Vox SSC-55 in the lesson parts of the videos, and (similar to the Stones) acoustic guitars with a bit of distortion were recorded for the full play-along performance in Part 2.

[@markdirigible9062]

Great playing, cool video, but the tone on that Duesenberg is nothin like Kieth's vintage Gibson

[@sloanchampion85]

I see a lot of back and forth on how Keef plays it...he's notorious for playing the same song different ways and hardly ever the same twice...I doubt if he remembers or really cares from one show to the next,listen to Shattered on the album and when he played it live it's totally different...he seems to be more like " just let me get through this song" rather than actually playing it any one way or another with any type of intention or trying to play it like he did on the album or the night before...The Stones have never been stickers for exactness they are famous for being very raw..but I definitely hear open E on the album.....

[@steveriley624]

No dis to Keith but JW did a great version of it on the And live album

[@ST-xg3gy]

JW?

[@jiverstep]

@@ST-xg3gy Johnny Winter

[@albertfuchs8860]

an idea: could u put what ur playing in a chart superimposed over the video? watching your fingers and trying to digure it out sucks

[@terrywitzu7874]

Ya-Ya's is standard tuning.

[@mytubecup1854]

No, it 's in open G tuning.

[@markdennison8326]

No, it’s open G.

[@AGENTARMES]

I think the verse may be played wrong here. I think it's further up the neck. Otherwise great vid!

[@franckrousseau9129]

i agree it is played on 5=7

[@DMSProduktions]

Shouldn't it be open G? Gimme Shelter was in open E.

[@michaelcaliri2795]

Jack and Gimmi studio version both in open E

[@DMSProduktions]

Yes, I see that now!

[@gjs850]

How about telling the viewers which open tuning you are in?

[@hom0s4cer]

They did three times at the beginning.

[@ambidexterity1]

7:09 LOL

[@ggaccentc]

Open E? I would think Open G

[@philfrank9226]

Live, he played in open g. the record is standard, open e and open d.

[@berenaldoferreirasilvacord9900]

A cada música tem de fazer uma afinação diferente...Vai pra porra!

[@Tomguild1]

This is actully correct for the original version. Keith later played it in G never sounded as good

[@karllib]

why not play a B on the G string rather than mute it...since the whole things rings of extra strings?

[@steveforesman1767]

how in god's name are you to do that in this tuning...really?

[@franckrousseau9129]

@@steveforesman1767 ahahahaha

[@andrewwhittaker6337]

if ur playing by urself why would you ever use any sort of open tuning.... just dumb. How do you do a solo in open tuning?

[@RandallThompsonguitar]

+Andrew Whittaker Derek Trucks plays in open E all the time.

[@andrewwhittaker6337]

+Randall Thompson slide different. but thanks I like him

[@skismith39]

You put in some effort and learn it. The voicing might sound a bit different, but you don't get bored just duplicating the record.

[@zeckham100]

Don’t sound right

[@freddysnip6257]

Sounds right to me!

[@BARKINGattheMOON100]

Doesn't sound right to my ear - sorry!

[@crypticdrkxy4633]

Poor sounds nothing like it. Totally wrong key

[@valerieworboyes374]

Slash not one bit of blues style in his solo useless overrated guitarist stick to heavy rock

[@MichaelCaliri]

This is the correct way.
