You Can't Always Get What You Want open G guitar lesson Rolling stones chords
Start Jamming...
Hey everyone, Jay Stevens back here with another Open G Keith Richards style lesson.
You guys seem to really love the Open G stuff.
I get comments all the time.
It's probably my most successful lessons to date.
So if you haven't checked out the Open G stuff, I suggest you check out my
my Keith Richards style Open G lesson.
The one that started it all.
That one will bring you through the chord shapes and the tuning and all that.
For right now, I've got my old Tele out.
Five string Open G tuning.
Capoed at the fifth fret and I'm gonna do a quick and easy one for you.
It's the riff from Can't Always Get What You Want.
[F]
[C]
[F]
[C]
[F]
[F] You get the idea?
Now on the [B] album this is played on an acoustic guitar.
Live he always uses his five string Open G Tele.
So I'm doing more of the live version.
But either way, same riff.
Gets you in the ballpark.
So like I said, capo fifth fret.
Our first chord is going to be
if I go third string up
second fret.
Second up from the capo.
[C] So I'm going between that chord and
open.
Shows that little quick back and forth.
Slow to start.
So the [N] other thing right hand wise,
most of the open ones are always falling on the up, which is a kind of Keith trademark.
Having that elbow come up.
[F]
Which sounds [G] different.
The up strum always sounds a little more.
It's got a little more attitude than the down if [C] I went
Hopefully [Ab] you can hear the difference.
So hopefully the camera picks up.
Okay, [D] so the next part of this riff, we're gonna go to our
our two finger Keith Richards chord, which is
[Bb] second string first fret
[F]
fourth string second fret.
[C] The first riff,
the two finger chord.
Now at the end [E] of that, and especially live, he's noodling.
He's soloing a little bit.
But the main riff [F] is that.
Which is [Ab] I'm playing four strings up [Db]
at the
I'm [G] still pulling that that two finger chord, but I open it up and then hammer it [Am] back down.
So pick, [A] hammer.
So it's open [Am] hammer.
Pick the third string, which is open.
Second [G] string, which I'm still holding down with my first finger at the first fret.
[Am]
[F]
[C] Here's the whole thing.
[F]
So notice I [Bb] tagged on some extra [N] strums at the end before the riff.
Just kind of filling in the space.
If you watch live stuff, Keith is like playing very sparse.
He's like, you know, he's stopping.
Of course, he's got Ronnie Wood and a full orchestra behind him to keep playing.
But [C] like he's doing like
[D]
[A] playing all his little filler stuff, which is just signature Keith coolness.
[C] But yeah, so that's the main riff.
[F] A couple extra strums.
[C]
[F]
[C]
Here's the new [F] riff.
[C]
[F]
[Em] That's it.
And if you noodle around with that sort of thing,
[C] [F]
the [C] two finger chord, the [E] hammers, [C] [C]
[Bb] all that sort of stuff, you get a whole bunch of other Keith riffs.
The other part of the song
coming out of that
[D]
verse into the chorus thing.
[D] [F] [Bb]
[C]
[Bb] Basically just [N] bar the second fret.
So two up from the cable.
Second [D] fret barred.
[D] The Keith [Gb] Richards chord, which is now [Ab] a three finger chord because I'm playing it barred.
So same shape.
Again,
watch the other video if you don't know the chord shapes.
[G] [D]
So that's two [Bb] frets up and then five [F] frets up from the cable.
Same thing.
Barred.
Barred and then add the extra two fingers.
[D]
[F] [C]
[F]
[G] [D]
[G] [F]
[C]
[F] That's it.
Quick and simple one for you.
[C] All I do with that.
[F] Of course, that's the sort of riff you'll just like, [C] you know, play open G.
Have some fun with it.
It's simple.
It sounds like something you'd be playing it and your girlfriend or wife [F] or both of them will show up and go like,
Hey, that sounds like a song.
[Db] Like you're finally making some noise on your guitar that sounds like something.
I've gotten those comments from a lot of you as well.
So hope you like it.
I'll see you on the next one.
