Currently I think you are the best guitar teacher on youTube. You teach us things that REALLY serve to improve on the guitar, things that are normally played in “intermediate level” songs. Thank you. Saludos desde ESPAÑA (Spain).
Blue I woke up and looked for your video before my coffee. I started on your lesson and it made me feel good about my playing today. I needed a lesson like that. PLEASE keep it up. Brian
Thank you so much for this video! I searching for Rolling Stones on yt and saw your video. Click it, was amazed, picked up my guitar after 5 month and start playing and felt back to my 70th years feeling imidelity.....Great video!!!!!WOW.
From Bend Oregon. Thank you for all of your videos. You've helped me quite a bit with many of your tips and tricks. I love theory, but I also love when someone just gives information in a simple, clear, easy to remember fashion. You sir, are so good at presenting guitar ideas in that way. So, sincerely... thank you.
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Couldn't have said it any better than what Stan put down !! It's so true !! Speaking of Gimme Shelter, isn't that the way Keith plays that killer intro to that legendary tune ???!!!!!
Very cool how you show the Keeff sound without having to change tunings. And as you explain this can be played in any key using barre chord shapes. along with hammer ons and pull offs.
Blue! Thank you, Thank you! You have made me a better Keef with this ONE lesson! I usually play using my Keef Special (5 string Open G Tele) but now I will play more in Standard using my SG. Thanks again.
This is an awesome video. I love browsing TH-cam for little bits of technique I can apply to my playing right away. This video made total sense and really helped me connect different triads and chord shapes together to make better sounding progressions.
Great lesson yet again. I like how adding the major pentatonic scale turns a Rolling Stones sound to a Allman Brothers kind of sound. I have been enjoying the Patreon, getting a good catalogue of information happening over there.
I figured this out a long time ago when practising caged inversion shapes. It took me by surprise as I never really transcribed or practised any Rolling Stone songs. I suddenly made this rolling stone sound. After that I've heard this transition in many other songs. Although not the specific hammer on from the I to the IV chord which makes it Keith's "trick". That's the beauty of the caged system seeing all these chords and walking into them with passing scale notes. It unlocks the fretboard.
Thanks for this video! It’s so cool to learn this trick in open tuning. Almost every video that I have ever seen on playing like Keith begins by tuning the guitar to open g. I eventually want to learn open g, but for now I am starting with standard tuning.
Great video on adding some spice to the routine sounds. I love the tying together of everything as well. The Stones are so cool to this day and their sound is easily identified. Thanks so much for another fun useful video. I used to play the Stones on cassette in my 1970 Chrysler when I was a teenager. Now it's on CD 🙂
Hi George, thanks for the comment. Cassettes are still cool in my opinion... though I don't have a cassette deck anymore, and nowhere to buy them haha.
Came across your channel by chance, I have followed a few teachers on TH-cam Chris Sherland and Steve Stine, you are right there if not better in your manner and method and tips on how to remember stuff …..just great …keep on keeping on ! Thanks
You are MY man on the internet for guitar lessons. This is all so good and so cool. Very well explained, excellent excellent job my friend! Loving all your lessons and will ask santa to buy me your books. Thanks again so much!
I love this move. Picked it up years ago. You hear it in tons of songs from the 70s. The opening riff to Doobie Brothers long train running. Kiss used it a bunch too, and so many others.
yeah, agree, it's really everywhere in rock music. It's in We Will Rock You, Kind of Magic, Rosalie, lot's of Status Quo songs I think (whatever you want at least) and many others. If you add the root note back in, you can also find it in Folk too, like Blues Run the Game or the opening riff of Father and Son
Just got here and love your style of teaching. Not note by note. More like concepts to improve your jamming flow. Nice! That is what you need a good teacher for. Someone that got the clue of a concept AND can teach it in such an superb manner.
How come all the best guitar tutorial videos are from Canada dudes? Rock on my friend! Great video. Thank you very much for the insight. Excited to incorporate it into my playing!
A variation of the D chord you show that I really like is to add in a lower 3rd on the 9th fret of the A string. Of course it works in any other key as well.
I reckon Keith could knock the ball out of the park playing a diddley bow LOL I love his sound and your appreciation of it. great video and sound, many thanks
Blue, you've done it again. I've been trying to get an easy way to play D, G, E that is relatively close together (they come fast). This is it, I can't wait to try it out!
Part of what makes this work is that Keef is leaving the lower partials to the other instruments so as not to mask what they're doing. Another part is that he has the 5th in the bottom note of the one-finger bar and the 3rd in the bottom note of the implied IV chord, reinforcing the rhythm section. Very "Stones-ish"!
Ha! this was in my recommendations, and I clicked on it because it was in Vancouver.. Just realized I've been walking by your front door for over a decade! I'm good friends w Brandon down the hall from you, and have always wondered what was going down in the guitar spot next door!! :P Great lesson BTW!
The best Keith Richards lesson I have seen Keith loves the sound (it sells alot of Albums Concert Tickets and Tour T shirts) and does not see alot of reason to mix it up much!!!!!
Great tip. Makes perfect sense since the D, G & B strings are the same in standard and open G. My Tele will still be a 5 string in open G, but this gives me some new ideas for the 6 string standard tuned Strat.
Wow, this was a really fun lesson. I've seen the Keith 1-4 trick before, but not the way you showed it going D>C>G>D and that cool sounding bass line on the G. Thanks!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver wish I was in Canada as from what I’ve seen in your videos, your teaching style is great! I particularly enjoyed the moving from major to minor pentatonic solos. 👍🎸🤘

that's a signature Richards' sounds and trick, beautiful, even if a sound should come out cause you press also the 1st string, with the bar, a 6th chord would be played, and isn't bad too sometimes! thanks for point out this way to play👍🤟
Keith also tunes the 5th string (A) down to G. That way you get to use 4 strings in these kind of shapes as opposed to only three. It also means that on one chord you get a tonic root note and on the other a dominant root note which sounds well, more rootsy. Eg Brown Sugar.
Yeah, this is some of the best tutorial I have seen for the guitar.
Great to hear, thanks Grant!
I've only heard the "Keith" style in G open tuning. Thanks for this great tip.

Another great classic lesson from Blue - thx , its really a good one on some of the Keith Richards sound - and it works
Thanks again!!
"Full Keith" and "half Keith" makes it memorable too. Playing it on a Tele gives it a nice "authentic" sound.
@@jeffbosch1697 Thanks Jeff, yeah I just came up with those terms when I was filming haha
Great lesson yet again. I like how adding the major pentatonic scale turns a Rolling Stones sound to a Allman Brothers kind of sound. I have been enjoying the Patreon, getting a good catalogue of information happening over there.
