Learn how to play Midnight Rambler on guitar as performed by The Rolling Stones. In terms of chords, this is not super complicated. The secret to getting the sound right is playing this with a capo on the 7th fret. Little bit of overdrive, neck pickup, and you are good to go. Hope you enjoy.

THIS is what made me want to play guitar. My mom had Hot Rocks. At like 7 years old I KNEW I just wanted to go wacka wacka wacka. Other kids wanted to be Joe Namath or whatever, I wanted to be Keith.
To this day I get off on just playing rhythm guitar like that.
Love it
That whole live jam from the band at MSG in '69 is what makes it..They were all amazing..if not, we would never know this song..
True!
Absolutely! I just saw that for the first time
Real fans would though
Dude, I just started playing this yesterday at home apro pro of nothing with no instructions or anything. I just kind of channeled it.
I was playing my Les Paul Studio through a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue with just the cord going straight into the amp. I felt like I had nailed a perfect Richards tone at some point, and this just started coming out of the amp.
Today I come home from work, and this is the top video in my Home Screen on TH-cam. I’m convinced my phone is spying on me, and knows I need some guitar lessons…
First person on youtube to get the tone right. Love the song and loved your playing just as much. Subscribed!
One of my favourite songs EVER.... Worked out most of it but some bits escaped me! Love that red Les Paul!
Best Stones breakdown of this song. No and I mean no one does that short E7 riff in their lesson. I love it. You play everyday just like the Stones do on the records. Great stuff!
You're a good guitar teacher, Man !
Keep it up.
Years... For years I've been trying to nail this song, off and on. Capo at 7... So that's the trick! Thanks a bunch! 👍
Midnight rambler is my favorite Stones song. I got it when I saw them in concert and I got the capo thing (that was way... before videos.) Next is never use a tele. I have a very old Gibson with p90's that made the difference. Later I bought a Les Paul junior just to play that song.
@@thornil2231 Just arrived last Saturday. My Les Paul jr. Guess what lesson I went to?
I've read that Keith played a Maton SE777 for the studio version.
Fantastic Blues from Dartford Kent 🔥♠️🔥Thanks for unlocking the Stones for all us Fans 🎯
Finally, a Stones song in standard tuning! Thank you for sharing this with me/us!
Well well good lesson today, thank you for all of what you do. You are helping so many of us. Peace.
Seriously, that tone…nicely done
I know, they have this inimitable sound but you do amazingly. Kick ass song. The comeback is annihilating.
If you're trying too hard, it ain't rock n roll...LOVE that...
I have now watched two of your videos about Stones songs and it is great to hear that I wasn't the only one saying to my self, this has to be the chords, why the hell doesn't it d sound like the album? Good ole Keef.
You are the Sage of Stones Tuition , love your explanation which adds so much to this tuition.
Thanks 12 foot! Another XLNT vid!
The Ya Yas version is absolutely 🔥
Respectfully, in a lot of tutorials, an empty chord (no frets pressed) is overlooked, like a chord without a name. But it's just a G-major chord when played on the D, G and B strings like in 4:09. Just wanted to make it clear to people new to guitar. Anyway, love the lesson
I keep coming back and each time I learn a little more.
This is so fun to play. You can play this all day.
Its great to be able to go back to these videos for a refresh, Thanks.
Thanks so much for breaking this song down great lesson ! Cant wait to learn it . Cheers
Thank you!
Best tutorial on this song. Awesome.
My fingers are a bit to thick to get that Dsus some of the time. Nothing practice can't fix. I hope. I was teaching a bunch of instruments at a music school and I have big hands. I was teaching some ukulele until some chords were just impossible to play. My fingers are just too big.
Thanks. You have to love easy stones songs that sound good.
Well done brother and I thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🎶🎸🎶💯
I’ve been trying to get that right since 1986. Thanks
So easy, yet so perfect.
Great teaching here ! Making it fun !
Great lesson. It only takes 3 chords to make a killer song.
True
And all this time I was using barred(?) Chords in a 1, 5, 4 progression with the 4 seventh up swing . To me it worked when you toss some arpeggio notes for the slow part but th capo is the game changer for tonal proximity to the recording. Great tip
You got it man! I did exactly the same thing as you and I was confounded by the sound on it along time ago when I was trying to play it as a kid then I finally saw some time I think it was in a film of the 1972 tour that he was using a capo on it!Keith is a master of using capo on ELECTRIC guitar. This song is ingenious to get those voicings. I don’t think the stones have really done this that well since Mick Taylor left, loved the YAYAS VERSION.
Words of wisdom: If you are trying too hard to get a line and it just doesn't sound "right" then 99% of the time there is another more simple way of doing it. The guitar is unique as to having so many different ways of doing the same thing. It's rock & roll; always go for simple.
great lesson! Thanks!
rad. thanks!
Awesome lesson
Love this song, great lesson 😀
Great tutorial! Thanks for doing it.
so good! Thx
What a perfect lesson!
Awesome tutorial appreciate this
Faces - Ooh La La, "I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger" ! So true in so many of these songs. You're a GREAT Instructor and fellow musician, Thanks for sharing and teaching this. It's still valid and important. All I can think is, well better late than never. Sometimes as we get more experienced, in our years, (speaking about myself) we "get our Ears Right"? Lol! anyway thanks again. peace!
"You'll have learn, just like me and that's hardest way"😁
Great lesson,thanks so much!!
Great Teaching, thanks.
You nail it man! 🎉
Thank you!
Thank You so much for sharing/posting this. I had been having a lot of trouble with the main riff and how to play it correctly, but I think i have a handle on it now. Great Lesson!! ☮❤☮
And just like that, you solved a mystery for me! Outstanding! Thanks so much. 👍👍🎸🎸
Love it.
Thanks for your great lesson, you really Rock on!! 👏👏👏✌️
I know this is a standard tuning.
My Telecaster is ALWAY kept in the key of Keith... Open G in honor to the great one himself! I watched other lessons on this one and"Some 🤔 how" my timing seemed off. I know its very simple...but there is a groove to it. As is with all "The Great One's" songs! You explain it in a simple break method so it's alot easyer to understand and put together. I appreciate you sharing your guitar knowledge with us guitar lovers! Thanks Ray 👍🏻
You probably know this but in Open G, capo the fourth fret. There's a video on the live version that explains it. It sounds awesome and I think it's easier and easier to groove on. And then you can also play other songs in Open G/capo 4
Thanks foŕ taking the time to do this song. Much appreciated. 😊
Thank you !!!
This was excellent my guy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Long live the Stones!
Thanks Bub!
Probably my Top Stones Jam! Cheers for the lesson man 🍻👌☮
Good stuff
When I first started to learn this I used to play it open G with a capo on 7 mainly because I set my Tele up in 5 string with the open tuning full time and didn't have a second guitar in standard tuning. I kinda felt sounded better especially when playing along with the live versions like Ya Ya's or Ladies and Gentlemen...but can't deny standard tuning with capo on 7 sounding equally as good and obviously the way Keef plays it on record and live. I've since gotten a second guitar I keep in standard and play it like you explained but gotta say i still like the open tuning with the capo too🤘🏻
One great thing about many of their songs is how you can play them in different chord positions and still can sound so good. A hallmark of a well constructed song I think. I like trying to decipher what is on record, but love how there are other ways to play them that also sound good
Thank you man
Cool lesson....thanks!
Thank you!
thank you!
Superb lesson! Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful! Share with your other guitarist friends :-)
Brings a smile - Spot on.....Mahalo
i learn a lot from your videos. i knew about the capo position on this song, but you've filled in some gaps for me with the little riffs. thanks!
Well done, Doug! I had been asking if any of the tutors on TH-cam would do this!😊
I dig your personality dude... subscribed 😁
very helpful, thank you.
glad to hear!
Your amp set up sound is perfect too
Thank-you!
excellent lessons. I am glad I found your channel!
Welcome! and tell your friends :-)
You are a bad man thank you!
Thanks man,really appreciate this You’ve done a great job. I like to listen to the steel wheels tour version to get an idea of the arrangement ,thanks so much for some of those fills and the bit where they bring the tempo down .absolutely awesome
Thanks, much appreciated!
cool video,dude
This is great, bought a capo and now I'm learning it.
Great I new like to change things up.
Cool..!! This is wayyy easier than Badge..! I’ll go back to that one..😳
Thanks man..! Appreciate these breakdowns..!!👍🏼❤️
I find the slide guitar part gives it some real roots blues flavour although not nashville country polished and dialed in perfectly it adds rawness with the harp
When Richards pulls off and goes "no hands", and makes that expression to the audience, "Look, I didn't even have to do it, the guitar plays it all by itself!" look. :)
I LOVE the live version on Get Yer YaYa’s Out!
Me too, love it better than the studio track
Not that I doubted you but just watched the Stones play Midnight Rambler several times live on TH-cam. That capo's on 7 in every one.
Oh good, well there you go
dude...love this! it's like playing CYHMK -- you don't want to be perfect - have fun with it
My two favorite versions of Midnight Rambler are the studio version and the version from The Goats Head Soup Deluxe Edition, which is also the best version ever in my opinion. I used to listen to that live recording more than any cuz I had it on a bootleg called Nasty Songs in 1980.
Black Crows, Hard to Handle?
Please o please……thanks big fan!
Thanks for the great lesson 🙏The live version on the Hot Rocks compilation is where I heard this first years ago and now our band play it regularly (I still have to pinch myself some times!)I found out recently that the photo on the back cover was taken not far from where I live in the Uk - Swarkestone Pavillion, Derbyshire.
Hot rocks was how I learned the stones, such a great collection
those Ampegs amps turned up made the dirt
Simple and best lesson on YTube
Thank you!
Omg you have a Lucy LP 😍
Keef says it was an acoustic on let it bleed with a microphone stuck in the sound hole . Same as jumping jack flash
I like to do this one octave lower.
Staring on the last “and” of the bar (1&2&3&4&)
Play B (fret 2 A string) and E(Fret 2 D string)
Then B and F# (1&) B and G# (2&)
Then Normal A chord (open A string),
E (second fret D string)
A (second fret G string)
C#((second fret B string)
Played on beat (3)
On the following (&) pull off the C# to open B
Or hammer on to B on the 4th fret on the G string.
(the last note is played as a dotted crotchet (&4&)
The next bar is E5 (1&) E6 (2&) E5 (3&) E6 (4) and then
Picking up again the B and E for the final (&) to repeat the cycle.
(An alternative for the second bar is E5 E6 E7 E6)
I find this works very well in an acoustic guitar.
nice, hadn't tried that before.
Where's the vid! c'mon man! 🤣
@@michaelsteven1090 I don't make videos.
Great job!! Let It Bleed is my #1 Stones album...this is all Keith. Brian's brain was fried and Mick not yet fully entrenched. This song displays the immense talent that is Keith!! Your tone isn't quite right on this one; right guitar, but tone is not right...too tinny sounding..not sure why. Your tone was great on the Cream stuff. Maybe louder volume or gain??? Ya Yes version is also unbelieveable with Mick Taylor.
Good video, unlike another guy here who tries to teach this song and rushes through it and tries to improvise his dialogue as he goes. Terrible. You really nailed it. Thanks.
Much appreciated!
Thanks. I could not remember which fret the capo was set on. I was, of course, doing it wrong.
it would be interesting to get the studio sound
A friend I know was asking Me if I knew this song . I said I never tried to learn it . I was looking for the first cord . I started with a B bar cord and it didn`t sound right . I did see Keith using a capo on his guitar for the tune . I knew it was not that hard I could hear the notes A D and E . These cords are used so often in rock and roll it is silly . I did figure out a Bob Segar tune where the capo needs to be used on the first fret Night moves .
Outstanding explanation brother… Can you do “generation landslide” by Alice Cooper? With The guitar solo … Thank you! keep up the great work…✌️🎼❤️
How about Featuring “The Ballad of Dwight Fry” by Alice Cooper as well! Hell I’ll come and play the piano parts and I can sing Alice Cooper fairly close, I mean there is only one Alice Cooper right, but I do enjoy doing voice impersonations especially Alice! Been at impersonations since the 4th grade. Loved how Tim Burton had Alice Cooper perform “The Ballad of Dwight Fry” in “The Happening” scenes of Burton’s movie remake of Dark Shadows. What a sound track starting off with “Nights In White Satin”. I just loved The Moody Blues what a sound they had. Justin Hayward’s vocals, the music, and the musicianship was so hauntingly. Soulful. I knew right then the movie was going to be great. Burton even had 4 of the original Dark Shadow cast members including Jonathan, Frid and Angelique! participate in two of The Happening scenes. I know the original show was a bit campy in a classic soap opera kind of way but as a 4th-6th grader we loved that show. I mean vampires, werewolves, Hot Witches named Angelique, time travel jumps, reincarnation, what was not to like back then? Sorry I ramble but I just loved the 60’s and first half of the 70’s. I got to live in the same time as Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, JFK, RFK, MLK, Janis Joplin, and so many more. I was alive when Woodstock happened. There really was a feeling in the air like something really cool was happening and going to happen until the CIA’s coup to Assassinate JFK and install that A** **** Johnson as president, then kill his brother RFK and our dear sweet brother Martin Luther King Jr. Three fantastic amazing Americans cut down by the CIA to end the peace movement and promise of a different prosperous America for all Americans where the Military Industrial Complex & CIA did run things! An American that Made the world a better place for everyone. Instead we got screwed by the biggest Johnson and Tricky Dick kinda presidents of all time. Uuuuuuuugh!
You can take the boy out of the 60’s and 70’s but you can’t take the 60’s and 70’s out of the boy! I want that promise instead of this alternate universe like someone who owned the military industrial complex traveled back in time to murder JFK, MLK & RFK so they couldn’t lead the country into a new era!!!
Allman Brother’s tunes would be awesome.. if ya get the time.. and the inclination..👍🏼
Hi - what is the post guitar signal chain ? Or Is it just cord to that Bassman and what are the amp settings roughly ? Thanks these are great lessons - usable for band stuff we do !
I think I had a little overdrive, not a lot, from my OCD pedal into the bassman. But that was because I couldn't turn the amp up. Ideally I would turn the amp up w no overdrive from the pedal and rely on the slight overdre just coming from the amp.
hi video is great right on .. question what are you playing thru ....what are using for an amp ? any overdrive pedal ? i have a v40 ampeg from 72 love it just wondering the tone sounded good
thanks. for that one I was using a little from my OCD overdrive, and I ran stereo out through my Super Reverb and Bassman (both '64 blackface), both mic'd
when you say out of tune 12 string are you referring to the slide played in the song? Cos if you are, i have to disagree. The slide is beyond awesome, so as tasty and creative. I've listened to it thousands of times
So was the slide part on the album version done on a 12 string?
Sounds Ike it to me
