You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones | Guitar Lesson

Shut up and play, and you are my two favs!😊 Thank you a bunch.

[@davidlind3237]

You don’t always get the turning you want. But if you try sometimes you get what you need.

[@12footchain]

@davidlind3237 for the win!

[@DannyDKNYC]

Could it be strung Nashville

[@woody1797]

@@DannyDKNYC Isn't Nashville tuning just the 6 higher/lighter strings of the 12-string set, four of which he removed? That would sound much different than what's going on here.

[@woody1797]

His Gibson ES-3?5 is my favorite flavor ...

[@davidlind3237]

@@woody1797 yes! It’s like a tomato red.😊

[@imacougar9281]

Makes total sense because as we know Keith was famous for open chords and removing strings. Thanks!

[@ThisOldGuyTrains]

The research you put into these, combined with how you weave the story of how you came to your conclusions, are impeccable. I've never seen a channel with lessons that compares to your level of detail. Thank you for what you do and the level of detail you add.

[@stuckinlodi100]

8 minutes in and..

[@guydouglas6094]

Yes, the 8 string sounds right. It's a song that you play with a 'free-time' feel at the beginning and let open strings ring. Great work!

[@custom.0860]

Great research on this epic song and tuning, I have followed all the other channels that you mentioned for years. The fact that you give a shout out to them for assisting with your research is classy, much respect! Keep up the great work, I look forward to your new lessons every week.

[@keithbarker-e4q]

You are a seriously capable dude. Many thanks and all the best Keith.

It's not only your research but also your amazing ear that brings these lessons to life. To my ear you really nailed it! Great job!!👍

[@rwest8905]

Once again, your expertise is spot on and GREATLY appreciated! Who knew such a seemingly “simple” song had so much going on? Excellent!!

[@markdesod561]

Crazy Tuning Time!! Wow!! It's a Keith Richards Tune after all!!!

[@0x5a11]

Finally, those bridge chords! Thanks for working this out.

[@Marine_Ret]

I think you nailed it with the 8 strings, thanks

[@riklionheart23]

That was great! The two unison strings make it sound a little like there’s a Nashville strung acoustic overdub - a technique I think they used on Wild Horses.

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

Wow!! Thanks, So Much!! Really got the VIBE RIGHT!!!

[@imspartacvs]

Thanks for this I think you've worked it out! I've always used Shut Up And Play's version but I think you've nailed it. Thanks for the music Matt Hudson Valley NY

[@jaygribbin6790]

Great work, I think you've nailed it. I do watch the other guys you mentioned as well and you all offer such a great service. Thanks so much.

[@mcampbell5158]

I agree it sounds right. The sitty thing is are you going to string up your twelve string that way to play one tune. Great job figuring it out!

Awesome performance have a wonderful weekend doug ❤😊

Sounds good pertty cool you have worked out all the detail,appreciate all the effort And intellectual detail,might not ever be able to play the song but its beautifull.

[@kimalexander3914]

This one was SO cool. Before you taught us about all the different tuning options, i had been hesitant to do it . Thought it was maybe a hassle & bad for the strings. So Doug, now i'm running out of guitars lol,, as i have one tuned for your Ohio lesson/ one (Ric) for Runnin' Down A Dream/one In My Time of Dying-(luvin' the Rock Slide-so beefy i bent a wedding band.You nailed ! it w/the first chord. THANK-YOU, again From Les's hometown.

[@albuser8641]

Thanks for the research you do. You rock, Bro!

[@jakeredshade]

Nice work man!

[@rondovoric7288]

The Stones did this song for their Rock n' Roll Circus show. Brian Jones plays the opening part in standard tuning. It's worth watching.

[@sofarsogut]

Nice of you to mention the "other" guys (shut up and play, Justin etc..) I listen to them also. Great research you did. You've got the applause from a guy 2 years older than Keith Richards

Sounds great!

[@bobkrause6114]

Excellent! Thank you. I have 2 12 string acoustics so I’ll amend one to this set up!

[@davidwright6137]

Fantastic! I do believe this is spot on. Only slight thing I think it’s missing from the original recording is what sounds like a pull-off to me at the very beginning. It’s easier to hear on the version which appears on the London Singles release as that does not have the choir at the beginning but features the same acoustic track. Anyway, your version is absolutely the closest to the studio release to my ears, so bravo!

[@wooferdevlin3571]

Thanks, always love your content. My contribution is, when the drums go double time, It becomes gospel, and flat 7s work great. Boom-chick for rhythm. Piano is doing 7s anyway, but if you don't have keys, or do, the flat 7s totally change the flavor, and a blast to play!! Thanks again. 😁

[@RustingStrings]

That sounds great

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

@ 11:51 Yes!!

[@mstrammd]

Keef or Mick Taylor have used Nashville tuning to get that chimey sound on some classics like Wild Horses. May have been on YCAGWYW. Basically, remove the wound strings and replace them with octave strings from a 12-string set to tune octave higher than normal.

[@brianseneca3546]

It sounds like a "Keith" thing. I think I read somewhere that he took strings off a 12 string and tuned to a Nashville tuning for Wild Horses. Great tutorial as always buddy!

[@user-rd1rg5pc8y]

Amazing !!!

[@artsheart]

Thanks!

[@luapsel77]

I think your idea for the eight strings is probably spot ON- it Sounds like the Record guitar!... And your additional chord shapes, again, showing us something NO one else HAS!... Thank you for the Great lesson!... I sing it and play it at the same time, I just have to get the timing right with the chorus vocals in those chords!... Do you have the tab or the chords written out anywhere? Thanks Again, You're Awesome!

[@thouston0]

Wow!!

[@pauldbrown1010]

It does!! It does sound exactly right!💯🤛👏👏 And maybe it's Keef showing early form in string ripping (them off). I can't imagine Keef putting up with restringing all 12 strings too often either 😂😂😂

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

Both Unison Strings sounds Right to me, certainly on the Intro - I'll have to a Deep Listen....? THANKS, Very Much - just another reason I need more than one 12 String....❤

[@PolyphonicSigma]

I used to own a DVD called The Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus. They played it live on that. Check it out. It was from1968 or 1969. Brian Jones was still with them. Keith even played BASS on a song with John Lennon, 'Yer Blues'. The release was delayed many years because it was shot over several days with multiple bands, and the Stones played last...after having slept very little to none to oversee production. They felt they were subpar(I thought they did great). If you have never seen it GET A COPY! Its worth it just to see the supergroup they formed for a song or 2 with Richards, Lennon, and I forget who else. Love your channel, btw. Msg me back if you get to see it. If I still had my copy I would send it to you.

[@Kedveissi]

Brilliant!! Possible to get a lesson on The Wanton Song?

[@Gregorovitch144]

My take on this is that Kieth used Open E exclusively throughout Beggars Banquet (notably Street Fighting Man, Jumping Jack Flash, Sympathy for the Devil) and for almost all of Let It Bleed (most notably Gimmie Shelter and YCAGWYW). The first Kieth tune in Open G was the single version of Honky Tonk Women (which came from the Let It Bleet sessions). Story goes that Ry Cooder dropped by and said words to the effect of "Open E is cool Kieth but Open G is better" and demonstrated an Open G progression (almost certainly on an accoustic) that Kieth (by some accounts) shamelessly stole and adapted for HTW. Thereafter Kieth never wrote another Open E tune, always standard or Open G. For this reason I am firmly in the Open E camp for YCAGWYW, no question. I think the big takeaway from this is the point made here early in the video that Open E and Open G are very similar in terms of chord shapes and riff patterns, just open E is one string down from Open G. The upshot is that really easy for your muscle memory to get cross wired if you switch between the two tunings (in a way that doesn't happen switching between either and standard). You can get away with that in the studio obviously but live is another matter altogether - it's just too easy to make a a really bad and really obvious mistake if you switch between them from one song to the next off the bat.. My reading is this is why live Kieth has played Gimmie Shelter transposed to standard and Jumping Jack Flash transposed to Open G (both originally recorded in in Open E) for donkey's years. He hasn't played Open E live in a long time (although I'm not sure how exactly he plays Street Fighting Man live). And since I am pretty sure Kieth wrote YCAGWYW before Ry Cooder showed him Open G, and therefore before Kieth wrote (or adapted depending on what Cooder actually showed him that day) HTW, I would wager a very tidy sum indeed that the acoustic for this song was originally recorded in Open E.

[@johndodson4527]

Got to see them in Branson on their last stop u.s. perfect show.with Samantha fish!!!

[@Billsingsong]

Can you do the popular BGee songs, especially Barry Gibb who does them in D tuning?

[@12footchain]

ooh tell me more, which ones would you recommend. I love noodling around with how deep is your love on acoustic

[@PolyphonicSigma]

Your version and tuning sound spot on, BTW. The Rock n Roll Circus one seems like a compromise on their part to do it live and be able to do leads as well without switchin guitars etc...

[@artsheart]

Awesome, what kind of capo are you using on the 12-string? Do you have a list of gear you prefer on the pantheon site? I've got your adaptation running through my head. So beautiful.

[@Jonesy1978]

Why the name 12 foot chain ? Amazing channel , looking forward to some more zeppelin rarities.. sounds spot on with your interpretation of this stones song

[@743lplkp]

good

[@rogerr1296]

Thanks for the work you put into your lessons. It's very much appreciated. It's helped me learn songs that I didn't think I would be able to play. For the request line.....lol... I would love to get your interpretation of Steve Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home". There's a version on YT of him playing it front of a fireplace (Steve Winwood is the channel name) and it would be great to get a more detailed lesson on what he is playing. It's a drop D tuning but I'm just not sure about all the cords and picking/strumming he uses. Thanks man.

[@12footchain]

For sure I will do that song

[@srwaite7]

Another possibility - Keefer could have used a Nashville tuned acoustic and double tracked 🤔 I use the Nashville tuning frequently with a normal acoustic - sounds great! 👍🏻😎

[@12footchain]

on close listening to isolated guitar track, I'm 99.9999999999% confident there is no doubletracked acoustic going on there. I'll never say never to any of this stuff, but I'd need to see/hear evidence

[@1rwjwith]

Well sonically it sure sounds correct! Definitely in open tuning..I believe it was just on the cusp of the open E to the Open G era for KR. Another kind of odd fact for this song is that CHARLIE WATTS is not playing drums on the original studio cut! Yes it is JIMMY MILLER the producer on drums on it. That is even listed on the original vinyl copies credit list. One thing for sure is that KEITH never again played it like this live! That is the case for many Stones songs they never worry about the studio arrangement. . He plays it in Open G live .

[@joeurbanowski321]

Awesome lesson.. ! Thanks.! ??? …I’m guessing the electric is standard tuning..🤔

[@12footchain]

Correct!

[@Billsingsong]

Can you also do a lesson in open G? Because he might have played it especially live in open G

[@jimhenderson9199]

On album it's open E or Open D with a capo so root note is on thick E string. That's all it is. The 2 bottom strings drone. The chord formation involves pressing down 2 strings not 1. Play the F and add a note like a suspended chord. I stumbled on it by myself many years ago when playing around in open tuning. In short just play it like Keith plays it live but play it in open E rather than open g like he plays it live. That way the bottom 2 strings drone for a richer sound. I always had trouble with the outro but like your way.

[@philf4086]

Well, it sounds good to me. No arguments here!

[@MyDadWasALifeguard]

Psst..Robin Trower has a great tune called “Precious Gift”…how do you play it?

[@dionaddario6583]

I can’t stand seeing this butchered in bars with the old standard tuning cowboy chords , you are doing the lords work lol

[@charleskinsey3994]

you are only wrong because I would have to buy a 12 string lol . YEAH you cracked it . Knew it as soon as you began . I play a version in G tuning but it's just a tease . At the B bar bar hammer on like you are doing the start me up chord but 3rd string where the 4th would be da da dadadad keith chord move up two frets with your bar do the keef ,then 3 more frets and do the keef and back . look and see if everyone is impressed and then play one ya know lol ,Good job man

[@randallhaney7909]

First Thanks Boss for all the hard work and time you put into producing this video lesson you are truly appreciated. But.. No way Boss, There is no song in the world; that would make me jump through the hoops needed to play this song so it "sounds just like the record" (open tuning, Remoting 4 strings from my 12 string a capo. And then; to "Sound just like the record" ? I'll need to sing identically to Mick Jager. Not to mention all the other unique facets of the song. And after I somehow accomplish all of that? 1: I am an imitation? and have lost all my own identity. Or 2: Whoever is listening; .. Could've just played the damn record. Sounding like a record is okay great, good Fine.. But sounding "Just Like" the record is ?? yeah? I don't know? .. Who are you ? You? .. Or Them? Unless you're in a tribute band of course. Just Say'n

[@thomasmaehnicke2506]

The original work sheet show the chords CFD😊

[@galelongputt]

I would have thought you would shut the blinds when you switched guitars 🌞

[@Billsingsong]

I do not like tuning to open each for fear of breaking my strings because of tuning upwards. Instead, I tune and open D and put the capo on the second front or wherever.

[@12footchain]

thats fine, but then your capo is then up at 10 for this song and at least for me gets problematic with space for the heel of my hand. but if you have a cutaway then probably much easier

[@Billsingsong]

@@12footchain well I don’t exactly put the capo on the 10th fret I put it lower where it suits my voice so that’s not a problem

[@Billsingsong]

@@12footchain can you do a few lessons on the Bee Gees especially Barry Gibb popular 60s songs which he did in Open D?

[@tomguitaronline]

Alot of acoustic guitars especially vintage parlors tune to open d instead of e. I guess you would capo up two more frets than open e

[@markgrant1302]

I always thought it was on guitar with a hugh strung Nashville tuning, which is the higher half of a 12 string set and a guitar tuned to open g... For Stones sing check out the KZbin channel James James... Also the stones did this live in Rock and Roll Circus which was around the same time... But the real thing to take away is how can you play it live with one guitar... open G and a capo.. if you opt for only doing the Nashville tuning you're stuck pretty high up on the neck...Keith never plays anything live the way he does in the studio... The studio version isn't the definitive version necessarily, thats just the best version of it when the album was released.

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

The important thing is to get the guitar right; Keith used a 1972 Gibson 12-string with the celluloid binding rotting off for this 1969 song...oh wait..that's me....nevermind.

[@12footchain]

lol

[@dionaddario6583]
