The best lesson of this song. Accept no other! Justin takes it nice and slow. He counts the riffs out, repeats them, and then ties it all together!

[@taffboyslim]

I've been wanting to learn this for about 40 years. Tonight, after a few views of you video, I am about 95 percent there with it. I now have at least one guitar tuned to Open G. Thanks so much for all the excellent lessons over the years, you are a great teacher.

[@stephenhammond9793]

Nearly 6 years later and this lesson is still giving!. I always played this in standard 'E' tuning and could never quite get it to sound right - this sounds great and I can't believe how much easier it is to play. thanks Justin

[@spidgeb3292]

This song is the greatest blues-rock song ever, IMO. And Justin breaks down the genius of the song with his great teaching. It's what you play and what you don't that sets this song apart for me. Compelling dynamics.

[@hotwired]

Hey nice work on the timing there! I've been playing that song since I was 15 (53 now) but never really worked hard on the studio version. Lots of elegantly simple stuff there.

[@athanasiou99]

Justin is my daily drug and that's for sure! Thanks for this cool tune and for all your all free lessons that you share with us! greetings from germany

[@steveroach4895]

Thanks for this lesson! It helped me fill in some gaps in my attempts to play it. You make some great points in your lessons. Mainly that it's not just getting the notes right but getting the timing and feel. Soooo important! When bending notes being sure to end in the right place and add a bit of vibrato when hanging out a note or chord if the song dictates it. I learned that fairly early on in my learning so that I got offers to be in bands and still do. I have been around some technically brilliant guitarists that aren't really good at feel and being musical. They play all the right notes but is sounds mechanical when it shouldn't. I had an instructor that had to argue that what he just played was technically correct by music theory. The only problem was that it didn't sound good or fit the song. You should never have to explain why you did something in a song when improvising. It should make sense and speak for itself. Then there are guys like Jimmy Page that can be a bit sloppy but nail the feel of the tune so completely. Sorry for the long winded post!

[@westw653]

Great job on one of the simplest, yet complex, guitar riffs of all time! You're a phenomenal teacher Justin.

[@BrickBlacktoe]

Just saw the Stones Tuesday night at Bobby Dodd Stadium in the ATL, great concert, great song, great lesson. Thanks Justin!

[@kieselstein61]

my favorite guitar teacher . You transfer fun every time to me and your analysis and teaching of the technique and all the details is absolutely excellent !

[@garryfuller3400]

Great job Justin. Wish I could spend 5/6 months playing/ LEARNING to play with you. You have such patience & you don't show off. Job well done. Watching you from Nebraska USA.

[@mvp019]

Justin consistently provides some of the best lessons on youtube - I encourage people to donate even just a few dollars.

[@33AndAThirdRPM]

Justin, you sir in my estimation have the most well explained and executed tutorials on KZbin.Before I found your site I was greatly frustrated with many of the other individuals trying to show how to play this song.If there ever is a KZbin Grammy award for music tutorials you certainly will have my vote. Keep up the in-depth detail of your teachings as there are many among us who need a fast track to learning and building up our repertoire in order to keep the bar room audience content. I would just like to know who the 36 chuckleheads are who gave the tutorial a thumbs down,... I would assume they are orchestral violinists, lol.

[@josefranco2193]

I love all your tutorials,you are an excellent Guitarr instructor.

[@mr.sudsdoctor8323]

great lesson. I remember trying to figure it out when I was 13 and didn't know about the open G tuning..it was frustrating. this is perfect. great teacher.

[@mrtwister8640]

How annoying is that learning songs by ear before the days of the Internet then realising your tuned wrong years later, learners have it so much easier now...

[@backpackertony]

Great Lesson! Been messing around in Open G with slide and this really opens up some other things. Thanks Justin

[@derekstocker6661]

Great tutorial of one of the very best loved intro's in music! Very well done, love this.

[@Bluewater609]

I'm 50 now and still play. In my gigs younger years never learned different tunings. Thanks again sparking my interest.

[@chrsrans1]

This just sounds absolutely perfect to me, I've watched tons of your lessons, don't know how I missed this one. awesome. 👍

[@stevefiorito5379]

Great tutorial and playing once again. Keep 'em coming Justin. ... and thanx.

[@keithcarter9396]

A great lesson Justin, I have played for decades but always in standard tuning, I just decided to look at open G, I hope it doesn't confuse my regular playing and totally screw me up bur Mr Richards certainly makes some beautiful music with this tuning so here goes. Thanks for a great lesson.

[@Fatstrat1079]

Excellent Lesson- I picked this up effortlessly. Those last bends on the 14th really answered my question- Cheers!

[@jojo9535]

Excellent lesson and good beginner primer for fingerpicking. Learning guitar has been a senior moment entirely since I’m starting at 62+.

[@sthengr]

Excellent playing!

[@RoadTripEddie]

Thank you Justin Searched and yours is the best, for me, you're taking me past the hurdles enough to do and improve. Much love to you.

[@jcclassiccarrestorations2730]

Love it Justin! Thanks a ton for a cool lesson!

[@tomkeatings1208]

Brilliant Justin,just learned another classic,now learning Gimme Shelter ,Keith Richards riffs on both these songs are genius,first I,ve played open G,and GS,is open E,thanks for helping me get away from strummin chords only,cheers Justin

[@dalepasswaters4898]

Great job as always very good at demystifying this classic song 😊

[@philhoward8745]

Nice thorough tutorial. I remember trying to play this tune as a youngster before I knew there was such a thing as open tunings.

[@rainerburger4664]

Heya Justin, Thank you for you lessons. I have improved myself. Thanks a lot!

[@gerardvandorsten1352]

Man dude you rock. Keep on the good work. Learned a lot already. To all of you out there, keep onrocking andlearn from this master.

[@johnaustin1825]

For 'open mic' sessions I've got to play it and sing as well. So a simplified version is the thing. Thanks Jason

You certainly know your way around the guitar Justin. Thanks for sharing .

[@andrehammon4155]

Great lesson. Nothing could be done better. Thank you very much .. .

[@frankyfender]

I thought I'd never hack this , but you make it so transparent it was no problem. Great stuff!

[@rockthesix7393]

Another great tune. Thanks for the tutorial, great job.

[@jeancarlosrock]

Great lesson Justin, Stones is one of my favourite bands, greetings from Brazil

[@dr123hall]

Agree! Justin teaches Best Honky Tonk Woman Version for capturing that “real bluesey rock Feel”

[@bombyxmori8992]

Too good! Thanks alot for your mentorship! Keep.it.up. Sir

[@PrufrockJapan]

Legendary effort on this. Brilliant. Cheers!

[@sackasilver]

[@douginny]

Perfect. Thank you again for another gem. You've saved me countless hours.

[@frankharvey525]

Great lesson as usual. Guitar sounds great. Nice playing! Fantastic song. I have trouble with the rhythm, I must confess, but once i "feel" it i think i can get there. Practice, practice, practice....Thanks for another great video....

[@jonc5055]

thanks justin, great lesson. easy to follow

[@travisnoblett5715]

[@badtelecastercg3347]

[@jose-go7qj]

Merci Justin pour cette leçon.

[@frankscovertunes]

This is brilliant , thank you for this!

[@Mish1035]

Great job! Loved it!

[@ws8467986]

Well Documented Lesson Justin, I personally think you didn't miss a Beat.Even To the point of the pitch harmonic's on D & G. Well Done.

[@mworby49760]

No surprise your lessons on the stones are really good....considering you were in a stones tribute band for a long time.....and the counterfeit stones are a bloody good tribute band....I was watching your lessons for like 5 years before I realised I had probably seen you play live 3 or 4 times with them.

[@tonyfrias777]

Una excelente leccion! Un excelente maestro! Gracias!

[@guitardan46]

Best of all the lessons on YT. Thanks Justin.

[@chriscampbell9191]

Thanks for posting this. You definitely got it nailed. Great tone, too. One takeaway from this is that there are guitar players out there who slag Keith's ability, as if he can't / couldn't play or come up with a complex guitar part. Tracks like this one prove them wrong completely. Peace.

[@rogerdale5451]

I've never seen a Telecaster with the "ash tray" intact. Cool man!

[@jacktoddy9783]

Always a great tutorial for Justin.

[@franksconiers7228]

Good God Justin I thought I could play the Guitar pretty good. I guess the key word in that sentence should be PLAY. You are teaching me how to work it again. Brother I really appreciate these videos. Thank you, Frank Sconiers

[@joehaas4546]

Great lesson. You sound great, Justin.

[@luiszo11]

really helped justin thanks for your help

[@clappersox]

Excellent lesson as usual!!

[@patrickfreudiger1896]

VERY NICE! Thank you so much. Patrick

[@misha1d1]

I know this lesson is is two years old, but it is fantastic. Thanks for posting it, and I am already digging in. Thank you, Justin, for your continued generosity in proving these excellent lessons.

[@aristotle358]

You seem to have a lovely personal nature. As a fellow guitarist I'd love to have a beer with you sometime; but alas, the middle of England is a bit far away for me to Australia. I always suspected that this track was open-G tuning. It's the only way to get those slides right with the open tuning ring. As you say, some of those riffs are lovely. A lot nicer than I previously gave credit. As always, a nicely presented and clear tutorial.

[@ursulaplatt5000]

Brian Jones darling

[@gregggetchell1713]

Justin, Thank you for an excellent tutorial. It was so thorough and understandable. Really fun to play!! Great job.

[@darrellmcdonald7883]

Great tutorial. Love the stones

[@TheRhettler]

Great lesson!

[@iris21ful]

Nice work !

[@mcauseway1]

Thanks Justin, for this great tutorial (and the Mr Richards ofcourse), I knew there was s'thing cool to play in Open G in this is definately one of the tops! (btw it seems that Keith is using the sliding more than bending in this song, at least what I've seen in some vid's, and this works better for me on the acoustic guitar ;-))

[@philipeagles]

great lesson justin

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

Great job!

[@paulbrennan3734]

another awesome lesson Justin :)

[@bh8365]

Great playing. Great teaching.

[@guitargreg51]

Thanks man, I've always wondered how Keith played this riff. Hat's off to ya!!!!!

[@RK7252]

You nailed it. Nice work

[@funguy4utube]

WOW !!! Superb open playing !!

[@jonjp3141]

justin your the best at what you do!

[@AshAlmond1]

I remember my uncle used to play this song. Great rendition Justin!
