Tried playing this for years without understanding what 'open tuning' was... (my bass player clued me in) Came off pretty well nonetheless... Played this at many shows and the audience was none the wiser... However, knowing now exactly how to play it will make the next gig that much better... thanks, stratnut!
Outstanding lesson. Very concise and easy to follow. I had this song stuck in my head today for some reason and figured it was a sign to go learn it. Will have to apologize to the neighbors tomorrow because the volume went way up
WOW!!!!!I just thought of this song out of the blue and thought "i gotta learn that one".Damn if i didnt come across one fantastic lesson!!!You da man!That is one wicked riff if i ever heard one.5 stars.Thank you!
Thanks very much for this; as someone else commented, you're a good teacher. And I also very much appreciate the assertiveness and authority of your playing. Thanks, once again,
You're definitely one of the best guitarists on youtube. Nice work. I've only been playing guitar for a couple of months so obviously I wouldn't be able to do play something as complicated as this, but i'll be sure to come and visit you again in a few years!
sounds great, im travelling and wont get a chance to try learning this for another half year, once Im back with my guitar Ill be sure to play this great song! thanks for uploading
Thank you so much for the video! Your tone is great and playing impeccable. I'm playing this song with a band of mine, and you helped me get down some of Ron Wood's cool rhythm riffs down
A thousand thank yous from a middle-aged Faces fan who's always loved that song and wanted to play it. I live in a part of America which really loves it's Country & Western, but you'd be surprised to see the raucous shouts of "Hell Yeah!" when my band-mates and I rip into some old Rod Stewart & Faces. Now I have one more to throw down for them to dance to. ;-P
thanks so much. saved me a ton of time. Just wanted to note that the outro goes back to E - B - A, and the very last part is played just one note going down; C - B - A# - A. he plays that 2X. thanks again.
Wow, I kept trying this and not getting the sound without realizing the need to re-tune. I'm going to try this, you sound is terrific in the video THanks!
You nailed it, as the man said. Brilliant. Just love TH-cam for this stuff. Of course what makes youtube hard work are all the negative comments. I guess people need an outlet.... My 2 cents: it's much easier to criticise than to create.
Stratnut- you are a wonderful teacher. This is a benchmark classic song and enjoying much success now. You Brit's are too clever on this Rock and Roll stuff- Chuck Berry didn't do it so we forgot to try. I'd like to occassionally see the right hand or move it up the fret to see how both hands are moving. Of course we want to know if you have the hair like Rod and Ron also- All the best- cheers Bob
Actually I get the Chord progression, the tuning I never realized, you can teach and and you can play , you can teach people that want to rock and roll not twinkle....little star. Mr. Woods Faces guitar playing is and was a great moment in time. ......... gotta add in the Intro one, two, three,( that was a good album too). THANKS
brilliant.......nice to see someone else cover some Ronnie Wood stuff......very well done, spot on playing indeed.......and that amp is a piece of work! I love it!!!
Thanks so much for the video. I've been wanting to learn this song for some time now and could never really get it. You've been a huge help. I love the amp!! I have a "Dime" practice amp that I've been thinking about putting into something metal that can be painted and pinstriped like an old hot rod. Thanks again!!
Great lesson. I get the "slow down" feature using Windows Media player. Have you song queued up and right click at the bottom of the bar. That will bring up selections that you can make. You want to scroll to "Play" and look for "Play Speed". Cool amp!
thanks for posting this! ill never play guitar as i think you have to have a certain "thing" in you to be able to play.... i dont have it! i love listening to it and really enjoyed your post. thanks!
@wentberg Try open G and place a capo on the second fret. You will have to find the notes in a different spot on the neck, but they are there. Or, try open D with a capo on the second fret, which will retain the same shapes the fellow above is playing but 2 frets up.
I just bought an EKO Ghost Reissue 50th Anniversary guitar. I've always wanted to play this song and your video really explains in detail how to play this tune. How can I see your first video? Thank you for taking the time to produce this video!
@yanceyts nothing wrong with that tone mate. it's just not that scratchy sound that ronnie has that's all, it's not naff in any way though it's just smoother
@wentberg. I have a home-made electric tuned to open E for slide. I was worried about breaking strings, and over -stressing the neck, as I use really heavy-gauge strings (13 to 56) and a high action to stop them sitting down on the frets. Probably because of the gauge (26 !!), I've never broken a string, but to answer your question, try tuning to E flat or D with a capo, and maybe go up a gauge. it'll give you a better tone, and they'll be stronger. "Maddogwyatt"
Possibly THE greatest opening guitar riffs ever!! And you nailed it, great job mate!!
Top notch. Now I realize with the open tuning why Ronnie used slide for the solo parts....good stuff. Thank you.
Thanks man. 37 years later & many, many "Stay With Me" nights later, you nailed it down for me. Love it. Good teacher-clear & easy to understand.
It sound better than a lot of stuff that's posted on you tube. thanks for the lesson it's so easy but sounds so great! Nice job!

One of the best intros in rock music.
Outstanding lesson. Very concise and easy to follow. I had this song stuck in my head today for some reason and figured it was a sign to go learn it. Will have to apologize to the neighbors tomorrow because the volume went way up
The guitar lesson was terrific -- LOVE the Faces!....the best part was revealing your homemade amp at the end! Priceless!!! Great job, sir!
This is the best guitar lesson on TH-cam. Congratulations.
WOW!!!!!I just thought of this song out of the blue and thought "i gotta learn that one".Damn if i didnt come across one fantastic lesson!!!You da man!That is one wicked riff if i ever heard one.5 stars.Thank you!
A brilliant and clear explanation of how to play this... Excellent stuff!
That was wonderful. I learned it in open "G" but this tuning sounds much better. I'm going to try it out right away! Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks very much for this; as someone else commented, you're a good teacher.
And I also very much appreciate the assertiveness and authority of your playing.
Thanks, once again,
you nailed it man,thanks.i have been looking for the correct way to do this for years.great job thanks again
Nailed the tone, nailed the playing, nailed the tuning. Thank you, working through it now. Much appreciated!
You're definitely one of the best guitarists on youtube. Nice work.
I've only been playing guitar for a couple of months so obviously I wouldn't be able to do play something as complicated as this, but i'll be sure to come and visit you again in a few years!
congratulations on producing the best instructional video on you tube... thanks!
Rock 'n Roll, indeed, my friend! Nicely done and sounds dead on. Thanks for teaching me one of my favorite songs, the PROPER way! ;-)
Fantastic video. Clear, precise and sounds great.
sounds great, im travelling and wont get a chance to try learning this for another half year, once Im back with my guitar Ill be sure to play this great song! thanks for uploading
Thanks for the awesome lesson - very clear and easy to follow. This is my all time favorite Rod Stewart & The Faces song!
I just bought my first guitar, and you made this so easy to play. Many thanks.
I can't help but smile when you play the run through, great song, clearly explained.
Thanks
Great lesson, Ronnie would be proud!!!
You do have what it takes, a lot of soul. Great teacher.
Thanks for the perfect lesson. Unlike most youtube lessons, it's perfect & you don't spend time on intro's and the like.
This is a great lesson! Slowed down were it needs to be and your guitar sounds great so it's inspiring!
Thank you so much for the video! Your tone is great and playing impeccable. I'm playing this song with a band of mine, and you helped me get down some of Ron Wood's cool rhythm riffs down

this is great and you expalin it so well - with options. Thanks !
You nailed it, as the man said. Brilliant.
Just love TH-cam for this stuff.
Of course what makes youtube hard work are all the negative comments. I guess people need an outlet....
My 2 cents: it's much easier to criticise than to create.
Great Presentation! The clarity/explanation is superb ... Thank You!!!
Excellent lesson, mate. Cheers for the post.
I actually think your tone is awesome. - Perfect for this song.
Thanks for the video!
Great sound from your amp. Fantastic playing. More vids please.
Brilliant. Really great breakdown of how. Love the amp as well.

Thanks mate. Open E!! Who knew!! I thought I was going to go my grave without ever having played this one correctly. Now I can die in peace. Cheers!
Thank You Sir...Beautiful ...i been trying to get a grip on this classic for a while...Cheers from California
Actually I get the Chord progression, the tuning I never realized, you can teach and and you can play , you can teach people that want to rock and roll not twinkle....little star. Mr. Woods Faces guitar playing is and was a great moment in time. ......... gotta add in the Intro one, two, three,( that was a good album too). THANKS
@wentberg Hi - I would suggest tune to open E flat, i.e. all strings tuned down one step compared to open E tuning. Then use a capo on the first fret
Thank You! You thought me to play this. Love your amp man!
brilliant.......nice to see someone else cover some Ronnie Wood stuff......very well done, spot on playing indeed.......and that amp is a piece of work! I love it!!!
Very good. I will keep an eye out for your future Vids. Thanks. Great Song Choice
good shit man! also I love amazing slow downer too, I use it all the time to figure out hard parts and fast solos
Thanks so much for the video. I've been wanting to learn this song for some time now and could never really get it. You've been a huge help. I love the amp!! I have a "Dime" practice amp that I've been thinking about putting into something metal that can be painted and pinstriped like an old hot rod. Thanks again!!
great lesson! thanks for the rock and roll.
Thank you a very clear explanation - now I can play it! Superb.
Thank you very much for the hint regarding the slow downer... luuuuv it..
Fantastic! You've given me the way in to mastering it myself
Excellent video! Thanks for making/posting and keep up the good work! :-)
Cool lesson and cool amp!
Jam ON!
-BB
Love the Amp man... going to give your set ago tonight... Thanks
Great lesson on the technique of brilliant Ron Wood
Man, you've got it nailed. Thanks for the lesson.
Great lesson. I get the "slow down" feature using Windows Media player. Have you song queued up and right click at the bottom of the bar. That will bring up selections that you can make. You want to scroll to "Play" and look for "Play Speed". Cool amp!
Thanks man
Awesome song and lesson. You never hear or see anyone doing this one. Thanks again. Any chance of doing an I'm Losing You video lesson in the future?
You UK gents are so gentile until you get an amplifier then you bring it. Love the lesson. Play loud my friend!
Robert Lane i bet he has snorted speed off of some groupies breast in the past? dont be fooled lol.
thanks for posting this! ill never play guitar as i think you have to have a certain "thing" in you to be able to play.... i dont have it! i love listening to it and really enjoyed your post. thanks!
Oh, your amp is quite nice; real nice tone and distortion, well done.
Great! I request Ron Wood/Rod Stewart's Angel which is also in open E.
@wentberg Try open G and place a capo on the second fret. You will have to find the notes in a different spot on the neck, but they are there. Or, try open D with a capo on the second fret, which will retain the same shapes the fellow above is playing but 2 frets up.
Damn Englishman with that soothing voice...
great lesson, thanks
Great lesson! Keep the Ron Wood instruction videos coming please!
Great vid! Thanks for your efforts.
More, please!!!!!!!!!!
While string tension is part of the overall sound, sure you can de-tune down
to open E Flat or even D if you wish and capo back up.
well presented & played .... and actually I like that tone...
thank you very much for the help on this one great lesson, love the amp!
Thanks, man...had no idea this was an alternate tuning...frustrated trying to play it in standard...
Thanks very much - good luck with the amp!
Great lesson. Thanks for posting, and the tone was pretty damned smokey :)
Great tips, mate...LOVE the amp...you need to make a tutorial on how to make one!!! :)
You rock! Very well done indeed.
Killer sound and amp - it got that Faces vibe.... 100 times better than Ronnie’s sound with the Stones!
I cant even play the guitar ! I dont even know hes talking about ! But man , I just love watching it all come together !
top stuff mate. Spot on. Get some more vids on here!
Awesome lesson, you English guys know how to rock. Cool amp.
Thank you kindly
This was well done. Do more! Thanks
What can I say that hasn't been said, 'Thanks! for posting!!!!"
You are spot on - it is an old paint thinner can!
Great lesson!
I just bought an EKO Ghost Reissue 50th Anniversary guitar. I've always wanted to play this song and your video really explains in detail how to play this tune. How can I see your first video? Thank you for taking the time to produce this video!
Thanks for the great lesson!
cheers man, very good instruction
@wentberg I usually get paranoid about tuning up to open e also so you could also tune to open d and then capo the second fret
@yanceyts nothing wrong with that tone mate. it's just not that scratchy sound that ronnie has that's all, it's not naff in any way though it's just smoother
No markings, so can't say if ICI or not. Didn't think I'd be discussing the make of the tin can when I put the video up :-)
hit damn good lesson! Rock n rollll!!!!
awesome lesson!
Spot on Fella
cheers
Great tone from the not exactly tone monster, thanks for the lesson great job
Fantastic primer, thanks.. :)
great lesson cheers!
great great great!!!! cheers!

It's a simple op amp circuit from runoffgroove that I built, "Ruby" I believe
