[Ab] Okay, this song is tuned to a chord, to an E chord, so when you [A] have the guitar
tuned that way you [E] just hear an E chord without having to put your fingers on the
guitar.
And it begins at [Bm] the seventh [E] fret, kind of tricky, the most comfortable way
that [Eb] that I found for me [E] anyway, you might want to try your thumb or your
second finger like I'm gonna do.
[B] It's your second finger over the E, A and D
strings, seventh fret.
Then you have to kind of keep a curve so you can [Em] keep the
open B, muting the G string, kind of tricky.
Okay, [E] and then you're gonna fret
the high E string on the seventh fret with your ring finger in my case.
You can
try it with your thumb if it's comfortable for you.
I find for me second
finger and ring finger work.
[B] It should sound something like this.
Okay, so like this.
[N] And there's a rhythm that Keith Richards maintains
throughout, changing up chopping pattern with his right hand, keeping in mind that
the [A] changes are really from the fifth fret to the seventh fret.
[Ab] Remember the
guitar is tuned to a chord so there's no going [B] around like crazy.
[Ab]
Something like
this at tempo.
One, two, ready, play.
