Excellent clear lesson. I like to put another A string in place of the low E and tune it to G. The double G tuned 5 and 6 strings allows you to play all 6 strings and having 3 G tuned strings resonates nicely.

[@adrianjabs5752]

I heard Keith took off low E bcuz he wanted room for bass guitar 🤔

[@michaelreidperry3256]

This opens up an entirely new world for me on my guitar.

[@kurtdavidson9808]

Well I will give you this my friend. Everyone wants to show you how they play Keith licks. Your the only one that comes close to actually explaining it. 5 videos tonight with guys playing stones songs. But with no bloody explication. I can watch Stones video if I wanted to see Keith play. So thank you for at least a brief explication. Cheers mate…

[@nigelwallis9223]

Brilliant video, pure content no bluster, easy to understand, thank you

[@juanguti6641]

Great lesson!!! 👏👏👏

[@Galidi1969]

Keith loves his 6ths and 3rd intervals!

[@robertgallagher5285]

Maybe the best Keith Richards lesson I've seen by keeping it Keith simple always wondered why you can't just stay in Open G and you clarified it by saying you CAN do Chuck Berry in Open G why not?!!!!

[@SullenMorbius]

great lesson -- love Keith's playing

[@deerunter2]

Thank you been looking for this tuning just couldn’t figure out which one it was thank you!

[@creamydistortion]

Pro Tip: Build up a very high tolerance for alcohol so you can play this stuff all night without passing out. Keith used booze, barbitarates (sleeping pills which are almost impossible to get these days because they're very deadly - especially when mixed with alcohol), cigarettes, a very small amount of coke to keep the blood flowing, and smack for smooth sailing...Add weed to taste.

[@frankjurgensen9550]

I never used opiates etc. My favorite lineup is a little drink, some weed or Haschisch and a adult line of Coke. Most important is a generell good mood and a good Band. That's fun 😂

[@davemish4163]

What's really sad is that Keith is known more for his prolific substance use and not his music. You do not need to use substances to make great music, in fact more often than not it hinders your musical abilities.

[@64nightfly]

Thank you for a very helpful lesson!

[@Mr.D34]

Hi, cool video. He may be one of the simplest guitar player's on earth but made many great songs and albums. And blues wise no one plays like him, his last album "Crosseyed Heart" is a great example. Also i just wanted to mention that it's supposed to be "D" in the 1st string, you're saying "E" even though you're tuned to "D" 🙂

[@humanbeing5300]

He has one of the best rhythm feels of all time

[@guitariste47]

Fascinating

[@adrianjabs5752]

Really appreciate this I learnt a lot Keith is a God problem is if anyone rips off his style we all know they are a fake copy so I can learn all this but I can't use it 😪

[@petelawler2199]

Well, that's tomorrow sorted!

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Yes! Hope you're having fun with the Keef licks! Thanks for checking the lesson out!

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

👍

[@mrdellferr]

Just for beginers... Only a little bit about Keith Richards styles.

[@bobwallace9814]

When the argument comes up about who is the greatest living guitar player, I always said Keith Richards was. There are super shredders in the local bar and great technicians on the radio but....none come close to the length of time nor the catalog of iconic songs that Richards has produced.

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Bob, you're spot on there! Keef might not be the most technical player, but it's not always about that. The greatest players are the ones who can tell stories through their music and the ones who can play a single note that touches you. Thanks for checking the lesson out!

[@zingleraster9124]

Dead right....Keef’s stage presence, longevity and catalogue is second to none. Music that connects is much more than technique.

[@thornil2231]

Habits??

[@warwicksmiley]

I tune my Low E to G. So I have G.G.

[@hendrikheemels8615]

Keith didn't play the Fender telecaster the first 20 years.

[@JammyGit]

Isn't anyone going to comment about how decent that cheap Tele sounds? How much are those East Coast guitars? About 100 quid? No? Well just me it is then 😆

[@philfrank9226]

This is only for beginners.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

[@philfrank9226]

@@richarddibb9381 Yeah, that`s right.

[@miraposajehano4309]

As a guitar player, Keith Richards has neither style and most certainly no techniques to speak of but as a public personality, he embodied completely the wash off rock star persona that he is. For the others who think that he plays guitar....here's how to sound like him: Get a Telecaster and get rid of the big E string and find an old Vox amplifier. Tune your guitar to G and make spasmodic moves around your living room as if you had the onset of Parkinson Disease without actually having it.

[@karlwanninger7675]

Guess you don't play guitar. It is very astonishing that you can immediately recognise Keith playing after a few seconds, something you can do only with a few guitar players. That's his style and his technique, witch influenced more rock musicians than anybody else.

[@miraposajehano4309]

@@karlwanninger7675You guess wrong and people recognize his style right away because it’s so simple, no one else play like that. Now if you think popularity equals skills then you’re an idiot.

[@decadancerofficial956]

Too much speak….

[@riobaskoro7212]

I think keith is a legend with a little skill of Guitar LOL ... precisely mick taylor is the one who teaches them and takes them to a different level

[@Pushyhog]

take string off an tune it open G as keith does.

Boring

If I had all of the info that I'm finding and I could be arsed to practice I'd have been brilliant but I didn't and I couldn't
