Tumbling Dice by The Rolling Stones - Play the Guitar and Bass Parts

[@stephensuddick1896]

I remember the first time this song came to me on my cheap little transistor radio. I thought it was the coolest thing I ever heard. Still do.

[@GaryBook]

You are nothing short of amazing, I love the thoroughness and detail. You cover every aspect of the record; it feels like a master class. Kudos to the maestro!

[@bernardwhite8950]

I don’t understand comments saying “this doesn’t swing”. It can’t swing like the Stones, as they aren’t playing here!! But it is a great analysis of the song and it’s construction to enable amateurs like me to play different components of it. Very interesting and I appreciate the effort put into this. Thanks!

[@CrackingtheChord]

Thanks Bernard. Glad you liked it.

[@bobgutowski261]

Excellent. That takes a lot of talent & time. Thanks for sharing both!

[@CrackingtheChord]

Thanks Bob. Glad you liked it.

[@tommybyrne8092]

Excellent !! Very insightful and clearly a lot of research went into this, Thanks !!

[@DanHarville]

Amazing. Thanks, I've always wondered why I couldn't get the hang of this song on guitar. Now I know.

[@kevinfitzgerald4561]

Outstanding work. Forensically examined. 👍

[@larryhall2805]

Splendid detail. More than I need, but that's a good thing! Very interesting analysis.

[@johnbarry731]

Many thanks for a great video. It’s really helping me learn this song which is my favourite Stones song. I love your Layla video as well. Another one of my favourite songs.

[@rickreed6808]

Really think this vid is brilliant. Not only learn to play the song but learn about it too. Very informative.

[@CrackingtheChord]

Thanks Rick. Glad you liked it.

thank you. keep it coming, your lessons are very good! :)

[@mrGoesto11]

Wow, this was outstanding. If only all songs were analyzed so microscopically. I'd be a great guitar player!

[@KTMBB71]

Love the recording history on top the lesson. Well done . ✌

[@kdarby7535]

Cheers I'll give it a go on my Tele

Slide guitar demo at about 8:10 shows the B pentatonic major scale but the demonstration is played in C major at the 12th fret. That could confuse some people who do not pick up on it. :)

[@johndrum6613]

Mate. Point taken. However, the key is B so that the major Pentantonic in slide looks the same as C major because of the position of fingering in one form as against the fret position of the barre in the slide from. The teacher got it right, but I confess that I too looked twice. Good lesson and well researched all round I thought.

[@christester1683]

hey, thanks for the video. I've got a question, during the bit with the slide licks the man says it's based around the B major pentatonic which is played off the 11th fret. i'm visually impaired so I can't see the screen and I couldn't figure out how the B major pentatonic relates to the 11th fret. I couldn't figure out what a position three shape is. could anyone tell me where on the fretboard The man is playing the first few bend and releases for the slide lick. that would be awesome. Many thanks again for the video.

[@CrackingtheChord]

It's position 3 which starts at the 11th fret.

[@paulorsbrito]

Very nice video! The tone and play of the main riff is great! But, altough there's a slide guitar over the entire song, it seams to me that the solo is not a slide playing. In fact, I see a lot a Keith work in there, with that "chuck berry" style begining, bends with double stops and so on.

[@CrackingtheChord]

Hi Paulo, we like all constructive criticism here! That's an interesting view and I will listen closely to the original solo again.

[@paulorsbrito]

@@CrackingtheChord This reminds me of You Got Me Rocking. The solos near the end, there's a non slide guitar, folowed by a slide one, but they sound very similar. With Stones records you keep finding this nice things after decades of listening!

[@BlackHatMagic85]

Great job! I feel like there is another slide part that is playing during the verses like at 2:11 of the original version. I always thought it was Keef doing the lead guitar, but now I'm not so sure. It also seems like maybe part of the solo is played with the fingers.

[@artlupinacci6759]

WOW!

[@CrackingtheChord]

Thanks Art. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@arcoins]

Who said a Squire couldn't sound great?

With respect the only thing right about this video.is the capo is in the correct place

[@CrackingtheChord]

Those who can do, those who can't troll!

[@lu77xiaojun37]

What i love is how you say the sleeve notes say that Mick Taylor only played the bass on the track, but "the evidence suggests that the slide part was played by Mick Taylor". Of course at that point you provide absolutely NO evidence whatsoever to contradict the sleeves notes. Other than of course you mention that the slide part was played in standard tuning "not open G". Well now lets see, the last time i looked, Keef was more than able to play in both standard tuning....... as well as open G. You Got The Silver comes to mind. Oh my, and there be some slidin on that one. Without Mick Taylor. 😲 Go figure. On the other hand i don't believe that the "great" Mick Taylor ever got the hang of open G.

[@CrackingtheChord]

Hmmm. Interesting! Have you tried playing the solo in Standard tuning and open G? That would tell you which it was played in.

[@Mathijs1974]

The slide and solo are by Richards. Taylor is on bass and does not play guitar.

[@CrackingtheChord]

Thanks for the insights - that's very helpful.

[@kevinmalone8903]

Tune your guitar before you post a video on the internet 😂 oh and play it right too

[@CrackingtheChord]

Kevin, When I get nasty comments that contravene KZbin guidelines they are generally from other, less successful KZbinrs. I note that you have just two subscribers and 346 views gained from 5 videos over 8 years. I feel your pain but most people would agree that it is better to work at making your own channel better rather than leave nasty comments on other people's.

[@26rickg]

This doesn't swing at all.......how can anyone think this is an accurate tutorial......lol.......

We welcome all constructive criticism at Cracking the Chord, even when it's in the minority. Looking forward to seeing one of you videos. Keep on rocking!

It's missing the Herion for the guy that thinks it doesn't swing Great Job!! Now Subscribed

@@CrackingtheChord It was as polite as I could make it......and it was meant to be constructive. Guess it goes to show a lot of people don't have a very good ear if my opinion is "in the minority" as you say.....keep working on it......
