Chords for Easy Guitar Solo - The Last Time (Rolling Stones)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ Oh, hey, how's it going?
It's Colin Daniel here from RiffinNinja.com.
So you want a riff or two?
You want a solo?
A little solo? _
Yeah, here's one.
_ _ Riffs or solos, they're all out of the same thing, and that's a scale.
It's a single note line of some sort.
_ _ I'm limited with my time here, so I couldn't teach you anything very complex,
but I do want to give you a taste of what I offer.
_ _ _ This is in a song called The Last Time by the Rolling Stones.
_ And this is a riff I think, even if you don't like the Rolling Stones,
you don't like _ _ _ their music or anything, [Eb] this is a really important riff
in the sense that it's used in a lot of other solos and songs. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And you'll find this very useful, and it's probably one of the easiest _ riffs to learn
if you're just getting into it, and it's a good one to put into your collection. _
It's a very good riff.
It's based on the E pentatonic minor scale.
[Bm] _ _ [Em] _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ There's hundreds of riffs that come from this and solos.
_ _ _ It starts with a _ slide and then creates a double stop, meaning a double note harmony.
I use my third finger because I'm positioning myself.
You've got to watch the fingering on this.
_ I will position myself so that I can catch the notes, because it is quick.
It's a very good practice for you, fingering-wise.
And I'll start with my third finger on the third string, _ second fret,
and I'll slide up two frets.
And while that note, the B note, is ringing out _ _ underneath it,
I'll drop my [D] second finger _ on the third [Dm] fret, _ _ second string, so it'll sound [Bm] like this.
_ [Em] _ _ [Bb] _
[Bm] _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] So that's the first thing.
_ _ _ Now _ _ _
_ [Db] _ I leave [Bm] my second finger down and use my pinky here,
because otherwise you have to go_
Like if you use your first, _ _
_ [A] _ [Bm] I find that more awkward because of the rest of the movement.
That's kind of up to you.
I have my reason for using the third finger, [E] because without moving my [Bm] hand very much, _ _
I can play that.
[E] _ _ _
That's an E, by the way.
[Bm] So it's [B] like_
So it slides up, you pick it once, you slide up, [Bm] you let it ring.
Underneath it you pick the second string on the third fret, [B] back to the third string.
_ And then before [E] you play the second string, you drop your pinky down on the fifth fret,
and then pick up.
[Bm] So it's down, up, [E] down, up.
And you let them [Bm] ring out together. _
[E] _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Bm] So this is the timing now. _
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ That's your first group.
_ _ [E] _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ [Bb] _
[Bm] _ _ _ Now here, you'll see that I use my first [Ab] finger.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] Now I slide up.
Using my first finger, it looks like I'm barring all three strings. _
I'm just keeping my hand ready, because what has to happen here
is when I _ slide up from the first fret on the third string,
[Ab] and [A] it's a pick, slide, and then ring.
Right after that I have to catch the second string, second fret. _
_ And it's very quick, so instead of _ [Db]
going_
[A] And I want them to kind of ring together.
_ _ [Gb]
And the first string is just muted, so [Ab] it doesn't ring [A] out. _ _
[Bm] So in the end it goes just _ [Ab] _ [A] _
_ [Bm] like that.
_ _ _ [A] That [E] sounds very cool with the E, [D] [A] D, and A [Bm] chord.
[B]
And I practice back and forth, going back [E] and forth.
Like I'll go E, [D] [A] D, [B] and A.
_ _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [A] _ And it's all [Bm] in your picking.
Down, up, down, up, down, [A] up, down, [Bm] up, down, up, _ [Ab] down, up.
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ [D] _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _
[D] _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ There you go.
There's a fairly simple _ solo riff.
It's a great riff.
Later, if you dig into the guitar and keep going,
you'll discover many, many other riffs that are related to this. _ _
