Chords for Gimme Shelter (Standard Tuning) Lesson - Rolling Stones

_ _ Hey all _ _
About a thousand people have asked for this one.
So
Let's run through
Give me shelter in standard tuning.
This wouldn't have been the way
_ Keith did it on the
_ Let it bleed album and I assume
McTaylor's on that
_ _ That recording of it, but I don't know for sure because he was sort of had limited involvement in
Let it be out.
So he may not even be on it at all
_ But certainly [C#] Keith's main [G#m] part doing the main riff is
[F] _ _ In open e or in the neighborhood of opening
_ _ but I did I posted two versions one in open e and I did one in standard tuning which
_ you need [E] to you need to be in to do the
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
Do the guitar solo you really need [B] to be in standard tuning because the soul isn't standard
_ So let's run through the standard tuning version, even though it's I don't think it's really
_ The easiest way or the best way to do it, but a lot of people want to know this so [A] here we go
It's in [C#] C sharp
_ Done up here not done here
But [E] barred up here
[C#] _ so for the opening the intro, it's this kind of _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ Right, so you take take your Bart see and you do the
Sort of the top the highest four [E] strings of it, right?
So, you know be any yet was at the [A] ninth G at the tenth _ D string at the [C#] eleventh
_ [F#] _ So on [F] these chords the first two chords, they're identical and you're suspending [F#] the
[C#]
G [F#m] string from 10 [A] to 11
[F#] _
Now for at least for the first part, you're just kind of picking the the D and the G [C#] strings on it
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ Just on and off of that G string and and just the two strings D and G
[F#] _ _ _ [D#] _ And then the same [B] thing two frets down
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ Now this next one it's the same chord shape [F#] except the G gets suspended two [C] frets up [A] instead of just one _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ Going back up again two frets up and it's the same suspension
_ [F#] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ Okay, so now it gets a little bit more _
_ Involved in [F#] the picking and you add the B string to it you kind of climb up to it
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Now you can [E] listen for yourself to the you know to the recording and see the pattern of that
[F#] But those are the chord shapes, right?
and then eventually goes through those all there's you know, the same shapes all the way through [C#] and then gets into the _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
So that's a regular bar C sharp _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _
So it's really this _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] So that's [E] that's
_ _ [B] E F [C#] sharp back to C sharp, but you are you want to keep that low C sharp note ringing on it.
So _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ So that's sort of D and G
[D#] _ _ _ _ D and G strings at [F#] 9 and 11
[C#m] _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ That's the chorus [C#] part _ [G#] so when it goes [B] first goes into the chorus is the C [C#] sharp bar
_ It's major _ [B] so _ _ _ [E] _ _ that second one is the is now [B] a _ _
B
But [G] suspend it on the G [B] string just like you did on in fact if you could do it _ _
Bar over the top you could do like that, but if you're doing [C#] straight bars
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ so that is
[F#] _ bar all the way across
_ at the seventh then _
A D [B] and G two frets up at the night _
[E] _ _ And [G] I don't play the B and E on this [B] chord
_ _ _ [A] _ _ regular
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C#] So [A] let's open E string keep the [E] everything on just take your finger off
_ _ [B] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ Now the second time through you're suspending that
C sharp chord the same way you [B] did on the way down on that, you know
[C#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ And that's really is the whole tune.
There's nothing [E] more to it than that
_ If you want to do the solo _ [C#] it's
_ _ _ [G#] _ _
[N] It's C sharp
_ minor pentatonic
It's the scale and I'm not gonna run through it
That's for you to do and I know I'll take a lot of grief from that in the comments
We're not showing you so but that's [F#] that's not really the point of my channel
It's to get you to figure out so watch if you want to learn it.
It's easy.
Actually, you know, it's all in the one [D] position
[C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You can really fool around with it and come [E] with your own solo, but it's [N] all in that same in the same fret
I the entire thing is done on the DG and B strings
_ Between the 9th and 11th fret and then on the B string here at [C#] 12.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ I mean you could come up with your own
_ [F#] _
_ But if you want [G#] to learn it
So [B] all in that one shape on that little minor pentatonic [E] Bach
And _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
there's some [N] good bands and it's actually a good one to learn if you want to learn
Learn some basic soloing note for note
But if you if you look closely and listen closely and you become attuned to it again, you know
That's you could tell that's Keith doing that solo.
Some people might think it's Mickey but it's not because that's just Chuck [D#] Berry Riff _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ Anytime you hear this in a stone song _ _
Or something like it.
It's Keith 100% every time every single time.
That's key
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So
If you if you try to get attuned to his _
Tendencies, that's one of them.
So just think about it.
There's no chance being the Chuck Berry freak that he is
There's no way he would allow
Somebody else to solo, you know that that kind of solo.
He's gonna do it.
So that's how you know
But anyway, that's the whole thing if you have any trouble with it, let me know
But I think on the solo part if you give yourself a little time just working it out and fiddling around with them _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[C#] _ You won't have any trouble with figuring those things out.
There's only like five notes in
_ The actual soul so good
