Hey, what's up?
Here are three things that I've heard Ronnie Wood play in Beast of Burden live versions bootlegs down through the years
And he's such a great soul and R&B player
So I've assimilated this stuff I felt it worthwhile to either listen to it and learn it or
or [C] just absorb it and
Lick one so keeps playing the static part
[B] [E] [B] [C#m] Right and Ronnie [E] plays this [A] [B] and [E] [G#m] [F#m]
[C#m] [B] [E] [G#m] [B] [F#m]
[B] I say well, [N] I guess that's under the heading of the ancient art of weaving
And when they make it work God
But what a nice counter
Counter melody and maybe some of you familiar with all the bootlegs and God knows there's a ton of them
You've heard that part, but that [B] is
[E] [G#m] Right, [B] [F#m]
[G#m] [B] [E] [G#m] [B]
[F#m] [A] [D]
[Em] that's lick one.
[N] Then I hear him do this on another one
This would be lick two where in the sequence by the way
Let me just backtrack a second that sequence as it's presented [B] on some girls
[E] It's from a full-on bar chord shape has to be because the mids and the lows on that intro [B] guitar are just too rich
You need that entire bar [E] chord to get that kind [N] of body
But you know those guys will take it all the way down from a bar chord to a [D#m] double stop
[E] Anyway that being said
The [C#m] accord in that sequence is a C sharp minor.
I mean you [B] get a B
[E] [C] to [B] a E to another [C#m] B and then
[E] C sharp minor
[A] [C#m] finishing with the a well
[Em] What Ronnie Wood [F#m] does and he did this on the some girl's studio version as he substitutes an F sharp minor
Or he plays a F [N] sharp minor over top of Keith's C sharp minor and that's fine because all those notes are in E
The song is in the key of E, but he does this to great effect or to good effect
And this is how it sounds
[B] [E] Right.
[B]
[C#m] [E] [F#m] [B] [E] [B]
[F#m] [A] [B] [E] [B]
[F#m] [A] [B] [E] [B]
[F#m] [A] [B] Okay.
So that is this
[E] [B] [F#m] this F sharp minor just those
GB and E strings and then
[A] [F#m] You have sharp minor [A] again to the a [Em] little lick sequence [G#m] starts again
[E] [B] [F#m]
[A] [B] [E] [F#m] Yeah,
[A] [E] and lick three goes like this again, it's Ronnie Wood
Keith's [B] playing the static [E] part
[B] And [C#m] Ronnie gives you [B] this
[F#m] [B]
[E] [B] [C#m] [E]
[E] [B] [C#m]
[E] [B] [C#m] [E]
[B] [E] And [C#m] so he's coming off the C sharp minor here, but he's adding this making a [E] C sharp minor 7
So the lick [D#m] sounds like [E] this
[D#m] and [C#m] [E]
[Em] he's getting [A] the
[Em] two of the three notes of the a chord [A] E
And the [Em] C sharp [C#m] so that is from here a C sharp minor
Three notes are a C sharp minor.
It's the little finger here that makes it a C sharp minor 7
Trust me [G#m] and then slides it up
[Em] It's a double stop that
Implies the a check it [A] out those two notes the a
All right, so you're dropping that a out of there hardly notice it.
It's [B] one more [E] time
So [D#m]
[C#m] [A] [D#m] [E]
amaze your friends learn those licks and then when you jam along with yourself or somebody playing [N] beast of burden, you know
you could uh
Of course you can you already know that I'd like to do more of this kind of stuff
If you're interested drop me a line, I'm gonna do it anyway, but if you have any questions drop me a

But what a nice counter
Counter melody and maybe some of you familiar with all the bootlegs and God knows there's a ton of them
You've heard that part, but that [B] is
[E] [G#m] Right, _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ [B] _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _ [B] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Em] that's lick one.
[N] Then I hear him do this on another one
This would be lick two where in the sequence by the way
Let me just backtrack a second that sequence as it's presented [B] on some girls

You need that entire bar [E] chord to get that kind [N] of body

[E] _ Anyway that being said
_ The [C#m] accord in that sequence is a C sharp minor.
I mean you [B] get a B
[E] _ [C] to [B] a E to another [C#m] B and then
[E] C sharp minor
[A] [C#m] finishing with the a well
[Em] What Ronnie Wood [F#m] does and he did this on the some girl's studio version as he substitutes an F sharp minor
Or he plays a F [N] sharp minor over top of Keith's C sharp minor and that's fine because all those notes are in E

[F#m] _ _ _ [A] _ [B] _ [E] _ _ [B] _
[F#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] Okay.
So that is this
[E] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _ this F sharp minor just those
GB and E strings and then
[A] _ [F#m] You have sharp minor [A] again to the a [Em] little lick sequence [G#m] starts again

_ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ and lick three goes like this again, it's Ronnie Wood
Keith's [B] playing the static [E] part
[B] And [C#m] Ronnie gives you [B] this
[F#m] _ [B] _

[E] _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ [E] And [C#m] so he's coming off the C sharp minor here, but he's adding this making a [E] C sharp minor 7
So the lick [D#m] sounds like [E] this
[D#m] and [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Em] he's getting [A] the
