Pops don't like it, said too easy. But turned out fantastic.

[@johnr423]

I don’t care what anyone says, Keith Richards is a guitar genius.

[@michaelsteven1090]

Lots of guitar geniuses out of Britain..In my opinion, the best ever..And I'm a proud American..

[@cliffspringer8084]

No one is saying otherwise lol

[@that_guy892]

@@cliffspringer8084 sadly there are, people think he's overrated and could be replaced by anyone. People don't realize how much thought he puts into each little lick and riff

[@anthonymitchell9793]

Reminds me of an interview I heard with David Gilmour who said why play a string of 32nd notes when one slowly bent whole note will do?

[@r3altalk28]

Everyone says that 🤫

[@grafhilgenhurst9717]

By far the best version of this out there. I could spend hours working on this (and I did)! Nothing Keith plays is particularly hard once you have it figured out. The genius is in thinking of it!

[@tomnonnemaker6155]

This is so perfectly stated. I've been playing for only a year or so, at 60... And I got this whole intro learned in a couple hours. On my acoustic. Not exactly fluid to stand up and play in public but I got it pretty good. But like you said, how does someone come up with these licks???

[@hinezilla]

I haven’t heard anyone really dig into it this way. This is fantastic. I’ve been trying to show my son this tune correctly. You’ve nailed it and really really well. Thanks! I’m a bass player for 30+ years. Pretty good career doing it. Never had an interest in playing guitar. Son is autistic and doesn’t seem to be able to tolerate lessons with a teacher other than me. So thank you

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

This dude has the most truly accurate guitar tutorials of anyone I’ve found.

[@cliffspringer8084]

Mike Pacheli has amazing Beatles song lessons you should check out

[@mattgilbert7347]

He's the best

[@jonnyshock9165]

Your lesson are really accurate, broken down step by step and shown really well. I like the way you teach. You explain things really well!

[@blainebradley1833]

You are an amazing player. Thank you for your attention to detail in your lessons.

[@gustirock]

What a great guitar riffs Keith is a genius 👏🏻 great lesson 🤘🏻

[@NoFretts]

Just amazing how your attention to detail nails this song...brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Brilliant lesson --the entire song -!-been watching Keef play this open tuning for the last 45 years --love your professional style ---thankyou

[@lilmike2710]

The more i learn this song the more i realize that K Richards is a musical genius.... I could sit and write riiff after riff for 1000 years every day and i would never come up with anything even nearly as brilliant as just this one song..

[@1960beemer]

Wow, not only did you make this lesson easy, but a pleasurable one too! Thank you so much

[@sandymackenzie1448]

Great video and pace. Very enjoyable to watch and learn. Slow and normal speed.❤

[@lawrenceklein4918]

You are an exceptionally patient and generous teacher! Thank you so much!!

[@jesseter24]

Thanks for all the info on this, been playing it A major for years, singer related, I don't keep a spare in open g and was having some trouble finding all the right notes even though I could hear them but after watching this it made better since. Thanks

[@royboy3597]

I watch alot of your videos. You pick alot of the songs I like. I'm 61 your a very good teacher. I suck at gutair but still plug along. I like, when you say, a lot of guys do this, but I hear this. Your descriptions of a guitarists leeds and feel are spot on.,

[@wataboutya9310]

Man! I’ve been waiting to learn how to play that one properly for a very long time. Awesome!

[@markclinebell7671]

Thankyou Andy! Great playing, great tone, & great teaching style! You are an awesome instructor!

[@JohnnyBGood-ii8kt]

Thanks Andy, this is one of my favorite Stones songs, I just love all the songs on Beggars Banquet. I plan on play this as a solo number soon.

[@briancorcoran8266]

There’s a lick in the solo that nobody on KZbin seems to be able to get right. Right at about 2:02 on the track. I play what I hear and do my best with it. You really nailed this one thanks for the lesson

[@sousayes]

Really apreciate this great great lesson! You’re the best doing this on Utube, thank you very much for sharing.

[@southsideshenanigans]

It has arrived !!! Another open G banger ! Rock on ! 🎸🤘🏻 can’t wait to perfect this one thanks Andy !

[@Fnortner01]

I used to just fake my way through this. I love seeing how to do it right. It's taking a lot of work but I'm finally getting it down, Thank you for the lesson.

[@rickpandolfi7860]

This is such a great explanation and demonstration. I couldn't be more appreciative. I'm still looking for the country version (accoustic)...

[@randykintzley5923]

I've seen tons of other people cover this and NOBODY nails the little nuances down as well as you've done. Just excellent in every respect.

[@titansuprruda2457]

I always click that LIKE button as the video starts, because I already know it's going to be a quality, informative lesson. Thanks for your channel.

[@matty0000]

Man I love the stones, and as an 18 year old learning guitar still this keeps inspiring me to keep on goin. 🎸

[@philipatkinson6036]

Since I discovered Andy I've learnt more in 4 months than I have in 30 years of trying to get better. You have a form of genius. I've noted that no matter whose song you are doing, you nail it like that guitarist. You do Neil Young songs and we could be listening to Neil. Same here. That is an extraordinary skill. Your selfless service of the guitar and what it does to enrich the life of us guys out here scattered about the world. All done anonymously with not a hint of self promotion. I suspect you are a better bloke than guitarist.

[@lfader]

@ well put. Immensely talented and just selfless inn getting it across with patience! Guy's s ringer!!😜👍

[@Five2_Bravo]

I'm rekindling my teenage interest in playing guitar when I was just playing in a garage band. I'm amazed what you can learn on KZbin. I've learned more in a few weeks than I ever did in the five years I spent living on my guitar. But you mention Andy. This guy sounds like Rick Beato. It's not him? Andy who?

[@dickvandenberg7941]

Grown up in the sixties and getting in to music since then, now in my pension period, left with a intense desire to learn songs from that time that i couldn't play then, I'm so happy with Shutup&Play's Andy, the best teacher anyone could wish. So I fully agree with Philip, it has filled my life with a dream, I never could have fulfilled without this excellent teacher. I'm connected with him in his enthusiasm for the music we all love. Thanks a thousand times. Unfortunately I'm not able to donate to Andy because I didn't succeed in getting financially independent during my life, sorry for that, If I had money, I gave it all to him.

[@rgbrin]

try also Tim Pierce...great stuff

[@leetledrummerboy]

@@Five2_Bravo damn if youtube was like this when i was growing up I'd probably be a half decent guitarist by now

[@tjrunlimited]

Great lesson. Thanks. Always so thorough and complete. One stop shop.

[@ricktan4635]

Simply awesome ! Your tutorial has been most informative. Thank you very much

[@geneahart5607]

What a beautiful song this is, guitar heaven, thank you Keith! Great video!

[@Llyrin]

Thanks, Andy. Great lesson and backstory, as always. This was a song I could never quite figure out, without your help. Open G 🤦‍♂️Well, that’s why I’m only an amateur. Shaun

[@cgrovespsyd]

I love this song so much! Thank you! Great instruction. Went beyond just giving the basics.

[@JulesFox]

Beautifully taught - exceptionally well presented. You clearly know this track and Keith very, very well.

[@peenoos]

Thank you for teaching me tears in heaven and blackbird! Always looking for a new one to learn!

[@imannonymous7707]

Midnight rambler Live is another track nobody seems capable of tackling..but we all know you can. Wanted to play it right for 30 years This is awesome thank you..its your humble demeanor and attention to detail..you're an amazing instructor.

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

standard tuning capo 7 easy peasy

[@briancorcoran8266]

Look for a channel called James James. He can show you how to midnight rambler from Yas Yas

[@mattgilbert7347]

Ya-Ya's version?

[@chadwickpainter8212]

Well done. I really get excited when I watch your videos. Thank you.

[@TheQakman]

Great lesson very easy to understand. Your explanations make it a lot easier. Only thing I sat looking at the head of your guitar for a long time thinking “I’ve never seen a Les Paul with a blue headstock “. I know it’s the lighting

[@fredthompson6176]

Thanks for being so precise...I love this stuff!

[@79943]

Such a great lesson! One of my favorite thing about your vids is that you have "normal" hands and fingers yet are able to play anything, reach any note, any fret, etc. Your little finger is really just a little finger, not something that looks like a yard stick. On some of these lesson vids you see guys with outrageously long fingers and you think "No way I can play any of this without that reach". Not true, you prove the case. Thanks for the vids you do, they are awesome.

[@o.w.dobbins6927]

Thanks for putting all of the time in this video explanation, the best I've seen!!

[@kevinbabineaux3014]

Good job brother..I use to be able to hit all those notes when I was younger. I had a motorcycle accident and my left hand has sustain some nerve damage. I can still play open chords. But my fingers go numb sometimes. But I love checking out the older tunes. I will never stop playing something tho. I play whenever I can. Good job . You really know how to teach

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yeah, i have a few injuries and arthritis, just can't play like when I was young. Kinda considering a different instrument to compensate. Maybe keys? I'd love to play drums bur fitness level is...not adequate lol

[@Johnny-hm3xz]

Praying for you brother

[@TheHesseJames]

Just keep on truckin my friend!

Wow amazing song lesson , I’ve met this dude once he looked like total nerd he knew all the RollingStones songs on standard tuning he showed me a few Classics on guitar but there is only so much I could remember when I got back home . Thank you

[@bluestriad]

Total nerd? wtf does that matter?

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

@@bluestriad it's cool, I looked like a total nerd in the 70s when I was constantly told, "man, you know more Led Zeppelin songs than anybody else I know." I also got laid more than anybody else they knew.

Great lesson,sounds great acoustically too.

Super tutorial, Andy! Thanks, Man!

[@has123456]

Great, man! Thanks! 10:14 👍 It is essential to demonstrate the count of time in bars. Thus, in this way, it becomes easier to absorb learning and also to be situated in the execution of the instrument. Whenever possible, do it that way. Thanks for this lesson.

[@raypaice7746]

Great video and I was able to learn as instructed......"Excellent"

[@Hoochiecoochieman9090]

I've alway wanted to learn HTW as it is one of my favorite Stones' songs. Keith's work is genius, but for me, you've unlocked a whole new world for me with the open G tuning, and suddenly it became easier. If I can play it, ANYONE CAN! Thanks!

[@jean-gillescosta6808]

learnig with this men is a real pleasure . thank you !

[@highwayroadrunner206]

Really nice and spot on! Thanks.

[@ChefClary60]

Been playing this in the band I play with for a long time. I learned a LOT from this. Those little fills and the harmonics are bad ass. Thanks for this!

[@petermulreany1847]

I think it's the small harmonic phenomenon that makes this masterpiece, this guy ain't raw enough though

[@PhilFeedback]

Great lesson video, thanks for posting this video. Just saw The Stones in concert and they played it. So I wanted to check out your YT channel to learn how to play the song

[@vextract4662]

LOL you gotta be as good as Keith to start just playing it how you like, I deeply appreciate you showing us how he laid it down on tape so we could learn it first. Always loved this tune.

[@antonschlick4741]

The best tutorial i've ever saw

[@patricklastname5646]

You're so good I just don't even pick my guitar. I just enjoy watching you doing what you do best.

[@michaelcrawley5211]

I never had to confidence to play music until this guy and a few others…. You guys are awesome! S&P teaches really good detail in a way I can relate to…. Now I play live music and even sing occasionally it just feels so good to play tunes in front of a crowd (okay very small crowd) but I wanted to do that and I may not sound great it is still pretty awesome and these sites make what seems climbing mountain just a long hill.
