Thanks for watching. Cheers - เพลง
The intro part is one of the dirtiest, raunchiest, guitar parts ever recorded. The stuff rock ' n ' roll is made of. Thank you Keith!
Really is. It plays in my head every time I walk into a bar room. Keith fucking rocks!
Dirtiest, raunchiest parts… that’s the stuff Keith is made of…
Without a doubt
Sounds nice and crunchy
and the way they layer the drums then bass in, better than a rail of coke.
Jeuss, I can't imagine being able to remember all of these licks and riffs. Amazing. Thanks for putting it together.
Finally!!! The brilliance of Keith explained. People think he's so easy to play until it's done correctly. Great job.
Great stuff. Keith Richards doesn’t get enough credit among guitar greats. An innovator of the highest order.
Not to mention his lead on this song is MOST triumphant!
He gets a lot of credit.....
Doesn't hurt to have Mick Jagger sleezing the vocals.
Mick Taylor
I hate to be that guy, but he really does get the credit. He’s considered one of the world’s greTest guitarists
One of the greatest songs ever. @ 55 i still can hear this daily & never get sick of it
Keith is a guitar god , the stones have had such an impact on me over the years. My mom and pops loved them and they were always playing on the record player when I was growing up.
your lessons are best by far. they move along quickly and pay respect to more advanced players that have put in the time enough to be advanced enough to be able to play along and figure out what you are doing. also, you play through the whole song putting all the parts together. sometimes for the advanced player thats all we need. thanks so much for not dumbing them down. your the best.
15:31 awesome when Andy is excited about a lick. Great teacher and channel
You did a great job on this lesson. From 1969 to 1974 is my favorite years for the Rolling Stones, I think Mick Taylor brought so much to the table and added just the right flavor for what they were doing at that time.
This song proves it was always about Keith's guitar playing.
@@geneahart5607 Deaf, eh?
@@geneahart5607 This is a Mick Taylor riff tho lol
Yes. Sticky Fingers era
Another incredible lesson... your demonstrations are so clear and easy to follow-no tabs needed! Thanks for all the great videos!
Damn! As a pretty good guitarist that has been playing guitar in bands since the seventies, for me your videos consistently are just the most perfect help to me. You somehow avoid all the pitfalls that so many instruction videos fall into. I love that you decided not to go string/fret for the riffs, which can get so frustrating in other videos, and give the info needed, show it basically slowly, the play. Just learned “stay with me” also from one of yours, there too, perfect instruction. I don’t know how a total beginner would experience it, but thank god for your videos, they seem to be geared for folks that can play, but that welcome getting the parts really right. That is another thing, you play a section of the song in the beginning, which many don’t, and we can then all hear that you nailed it and so the instruction that follows is to be trusted. You figure these out right, often also five alternate ways to try it. Overall I would say these are just about perfect! Thank you!
I too have been playing since I was 16 in 1979. It used to be where it took a while to figure out songs listening off a scratchy album when,now today we have crisp clean digital sound but the biggest aid in learning a song fast is the ability to watch someone play it in real time and then dissect it for you. Another thing was,it wasn't well known that strings were down tuned so as you were playing you knew something was off but you weren't quite sure what it was. The first time that one drove me nuts was on a Sabbath song where Tony Iommi dropped the E string because of his fingertips being cut off and he had to wear finger cotts so he had less pressure to hit the E string. Anyway the pattern here of the dropped strings explains everything. I watched other videos of people playing this and they didn't drop any strings and even though they played it something just wasn't right and I could hear it instantly. For instance when they played it they were going down to the G note on the E string where in this video he doesn't do it. Obviously because its tuned down and doesn't require it. There one spot he isn't coming off the chord exactly right but it isn't noticeable to many and I only catch it because its my favorite part of a change in the opening. But its a great video I'm gonna look at more if his videos
@@stevenallen9592 Yes, lots of head scratching because no internet back then. I mainly learned from two different sources. First was (after trying to set a record player down to a slow speed, but that was just to hear the notes even though lower slowed down but…) was I had a cassette player, portable, and I became a master at hitting rewind, to get to just before the start of say a Jimmy Page solo, and just try and hit any notes in time and correct, missing many BUT (and this helped me later in bands) I would often start out right, lose it but keep trying to find the notes as I tried to match it, and then find a few more, often also getting the end. This helped me later in bands because when you blow it you don’t stop, you resync and keep,playing and adjust underway.
Second most important source was getting together with other players, jamming, and trading what we found out. Often good natured arguments when someone said “it goes like this”, and someone else “that’s almost right, in the beginning but it isn’t right after that it goes like this…” back and forth. I learned a lot as we all were about even in ability.
Most guys I've ever seen just butcher it in standard. Honky Tonk is even worse seeing a cover band do in standard. His lessons are always on the money.
@@Pipe_Piper I know what you mean. Though I have to admit, our band plays “Brown Sugar” and often I do butcher it in standard tuning though I get as close as I can, and it’s close enough. I’ve learned it in open G but in our set it is in a row of similar “barn burner” songs and a lot of the stages we play are small so I can’t have a guitar in open G standing by. Since it is our last set, I decided to dissapoint the real guitarists in the crowd, sacrificing playing it really right, because we don’t want to lose momentum in the set by me having to retune. Some day I’ll move it to another set and find a few more open G songs and be able to do it justice!
This is not a song for beginners anyway. Back in the days, I was fortunate enough that my parents could afford me private teaching, TH-cam is a blessing to all musicians, no matter if the youtuber shows it with babysteps or not.
You make me smile. It's easy to see how much you enjoy playing this song. Keith is the best. Even after all these years I still think he's under rated. The guy is a master at rythmn guitar and it's really understated, he just has this shuffle that pulls you into the song. As much as I like Mick Taylor's playing, I think Keith & Woody were destined to play togehter, and they look like they have so much fun doing it.
Hallelujah!! My favorite Stones tune.
This song is a fucking beast
Same here
You’re one of my favorite guitar tutorial guys. Hearing you talk about Keith and Mick, you sound like you really love music. It’s infectious. Thanks
Always one of my favorite collections of riffs all in one tune. Thanks for breaking it down. Sometimes wish I had a drummer playing along, but this one is fun even with just me. Imagine coming up with this in your mid 20s like Keith!!! Thanks again!
You NAIL every damn song you play, too the “T”
You have a great ear !
Beginner here 7 months in on a borrowed junior-sized acoustic. Feeling pretty good about progress as I get into power chords, hammer ons, lift offs, embellishments and such. Just bought an electric guitar during quarantine. Jesus Christ, not sure I have that many decades left to come close to what you do. Wow! A real eye opener.
Finally an accurate interpretation that's easy to follow even without tabs! It's so true that all these riffs being so similar makes it a little hard to grasp at one time. You just got to take your time and keep listening to the track. This, your interps of Brown Sugar, Honkey Tonk, and Monkey Man have now completed my quartet of fave Stones songs! Thanks!!
By far the best instructor on the web, can't wait to learn new songs ..makes it easy and fun..never stop teaching..thank you so much!
I was 10 years old (in 1982) when I kept noticing these 2 different cassette tapes sitting in this large bowl (full of change, keys and small misc. items). It was basically a “Catch-All” kinda bowl. So anyway the two tapes I later ID’d as ‘Sticky Fingers’ and ‘Tattoo You”.
Up to that point in my short life I had only been exposed to The Beach Boys and The Beatles as far as RnR goes. I like both of those bands, but I sure was intrigued with this “New Band” 😂🤣 that I had discovered. I wondered if anyone else had ever heard of them 🤔 Well obviously my dad had. At some point not long after I noticed another “Newer”Stones cassette showed up in the “catch-all” bowl. ‘Hot Rocks 1964-1971’ .... I believe it wasn’t much longer after this point that I officially became a Rolling Stones fan.
I was very fortunate to have parents who both recovering Hippies and they each had their own massive album collection that they each kept separate from the others collection even BEFORE the divorce. I remember overhearing plenty of “No because I bought that one right after the Johnny Winter show in ‘71 then you later borrowed it and I never did see it again 😡UNTIL NOW!! MINE!!
LOVE THE WAY YOU TEACH MY MAN!!! GLAD I FOUND YOU!
Your teaching style is absolutely the best: precise, clear and quick but easy enough to understand without wasting time and becoming boring. THANK YOU!
I have been playing for 30 yrs and this tune is STILL a tough nut to crack in a way that does it justice!! Andy is an amazin player. Keep em comin Andy.
one of the best Rolling Stones' songs hands down
Man Keith just plays all over the board. I can see now why he's known for his tunings. He really uses it in creative ways and keeps a feel or groove all the way.
I just wanted to say thank you man.
I’ve been practicing a lot with your videos since almost a year now. I’ve made so much progress thanks to you and your Rolling Stones videos.
Thanks dude, keep up the good work. Love it.
Thank you Jordane. I'm glad that you're getting something from my videos. Please check this out sometime: bit.ly/2V7koQj
Cheers, Andy
This was the first Stones song that ever blew me away, when I was a teenager. Keith and Mick Taylor at their best I only wish the song had gone another 5 minutes!
thank you very very much for this increddible lesson and tones . i discovered your channel from france and i become an addict . bravo .
Good to see this tune covered.
I tried to learn this in standard
tuning years ago before I knew
open G. Always knew it didn't
sound right but when your 16 years old in the early 70's you
can still get that awesome intensity and feel even if not the exact notes. Were was TH-cam
then. Lol
Mrguitarthoughts No kidding...I tried learning off records too...didn't realize some of these boys were actually tuning their guitars to open chords!! But Steve Howe, Jeff Beck also "tried" to copy songs that they later learned were originally in open tuning..So, some of the best were also fooled. That means we are in a privileged group eh??
I agree about youtube in the 70's. Every great rock song we wanted to learn took hours and hours of on off with the stylus on the vinyl.
I can totally relate.
Awesome lesson ! Love that tune. As well as the catchy guitar work, Jagger's vocals were
tops in that era too. Thanks again for posting another classic.
I am madly in-love with this channel. You're very knowledgeable and passionate about the guitar, got some chops too.
Thanks for you're amazing teaching!!!
This is straight up, the best tutorial of this song out there. Thanks for taking the time to break it down. Subscribed.
Keith Richards sold his soul at the crossroads to create and play this. Its brilliant.
MY FAVORITE STONES SONG! I am so happy to have found this video. I am not very good on guitar but this makes it so clear to me . I am having a blast practicing this
I will tell ya that this is one of the best lessons and really soulful bluesy songs!
Brother, So much to chew on for a old man! BUT having heard stones songs since the Ed Sullivan Show, I guess their recorded in my DNA!! So nice to see all the nuances visually... It really helps with what I was missing in the songs. All the song you do. Thanks bro!...Ray, Milford, Mass
Much better when you see the other guy playing -not talking much- in front of you. Excellent lesson.
(Now I gotta find where's my guitar.)
I saw the Stones in 77. Chicago Stadium and again at the UTEP Sunbowl in El Paso 1994. Free concert then. I was an Army 1SG then. We had a deal with the University to provide ushers. My unit made money and we watched the concerts for free. Rod Stewart, Pink Floyd, Stones, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Santana. What a great time.
Probably my favorite (hard core rock -n-roll/extended jam) guitar tune (from the 60s or 70s)
Thanks for making it simple for me
Great vid!! You covered all the bits & pieces I’d been missing on this tune. 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent lesson, thank you!
I'm taking the 6th string off of a guitar for open G. Guess what song that's for! One of the most dirtiest opening licks ever in rock and roll.
Thank you for posting and making it feasible to play. You nail Keef's nuances and bends also. Great job. Thank you for posting.
I picked this off the record in standard tuning when a sophomore in high school, didn't learn about open G tuning until 1989.
16:35 Mick Taylor's part in standard tuning
All time favorite Stones tune! Thank You for doing this song, cant wait to dig in, I gotta say that I love the way you break the songs down so anybody can understand and play them, Thank You so much.
Fantastic lesson with a close attention to detail. I love the pace of your videos as you keep things moving, I guess for the more intermediate guitarists looking to nail the subtle nuances. Thanks!
Brilliant as always Andy. I've been watching your channel for a long time now and enjoy it immensly. You'd make a brilliant session man. I bet many bands would love you as their lead guitarist. Rock on brother.
Thanks Andy! Your lesson has some of those extra licks that really fill out the song, like the ones in the chorus.
Man, thank you so much for your time - you`ve done some pretty amazing job on this lesson. The best lesson there`s of this song. God speed.
Keith has such simple raunchy powerful guitar hooks.
YES!!! What a brilliant song and the best teacher showing how it's done. I know this in standard tuning but it doesn't quite sound right. Absolutely perfect! THANK YOU.
Awesome lesson.To the point.Rapid fire,no rambling.Thanks.
This is so top-of-my-list now. Great comment about Keith removing the bottom E string. I have my old beginner's Epiphone. Gonna pull that string and leave it in open G now. There goes the E. Goodbye, Charlie. If only playing were as easy as you make it look. Rock On, Bro.
Finally !!!!!!!
This is the perfect way to do a tutorial !!!!!!
When people start to describe every single finger movement of the left hand is impossible to keep the perspective of a musical passage or phrase and it’s so desperatingly slow that I don’t know how anyone but a complete starter can keep paying attention
You're such a great player, man. Clean, precise, nail it every time. Cheers.
As a guitar teacher since 1973, who has transcribed this song, these are definitely the best guitar tutorial vids I've seen. Great tone and extremely accurate and well explained including historical and background info. Couldn't be better. 😍
I also like the fact that that Andy has a short 4th finger, like me! So many guitarist have ridiculously long 4th fingers that enable then to play very tricky things with which we short 4th fingered people struggle, such as an Fadd9 in 1st position! 🤪
GREAT SONG - GREAT LESSON - You could walk into any rock band anywhere and ever.
Great work Andy.
Well done ! you made a really very clear and understandable video. I'm studying the song and your work is really very useful to me. thank you so much
great lesson as usual. my go to for the best lessons
one of the best licks ever. you always naill the tones of the original.
Wow. I just learned something. Hit the space bar to stop the video. Then the left arrow key backs up the video in five second increments. Hit the space bar again to start. Never knew that! Awesome for learning!
Thanks Ken for the awesome tip!
Positive, insightful, knowledgeable, and fun=best guitar lessons on you tube
I was beginning to learn this riff the other week and there wasn't a video from this channel of this song. I'm glad you uploaded this.
best teacher on youtube. hands down going away. Keep it up. Good thing we're not neighbors we'd never get ANYTHING done but jammin"!
You're attention to detail is incredible, especially with the stones. Nice job, new sub and love the explanation in detail also.
Awesome!! I had a lot of this figured out but you definitely have filled in some gaps!!! Thanks for posting.
Superb lesson on the Stones best and most technical tune
Yes ! Thanks for posting !!!!! So excited for this lesson.
Keef’s guitar here is a compilation of all that is cool, infectious and quintessential about Classic Rock and Roll
Such a great guitar song!!
I'll be 50 this month and both my parents passed early 50's and I miss them and those times so much
Absolutely killer instruction for this tune. !!
You make an excellent point about Keith being difficult to copy. Although what he is doing isn’t difficult to play, it is difficult to figure out what he is doing a lot of the times ! Also an excellent point about having to use some upstrokes to match the groove. Iv seen so many guys on TH-cam all down strokes and you’re right it doesn’t sound exactly how he’s doing it on the record. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this lesson. Thank you. I would love to see more Stones lessons in the future!
Best intro to a rock ‘n’ roll song ever to this day in my opinion but I have to say I bought the Sticky Fingers album when it came out in 71’ and I always thought that was Mick Taylor’s riff.!! What ?
AWWWESOME MY FAVORITE STONES TUNE
From open E (Gimme Shelter) to open G for this fantastic song. What a great lesson. 👍
Absolutely awesome! Thank you for breaking it all down so perfectly. Hard to do with Keith.
Thanks for this! The hardest Keef Open G tune to play imo🤬
My guy, i recently picked up my guitar after a few year hiatus from playing it. Thanks so much for the content.
Thank you, wished someone told me about open g & e when I was a kid. Fun playing this.
You are a champ, you did a great job tearing this song down!
Outstanding. None better.
Love that in tune Les Paul - great sound cheers
Whole bunch of AWESOMENESS!!!! Dude, you rock! Thanks for the tutorial. Helped me quite a bit. I am gonna donate a little something for you.
Great presentation...Great 'stretch' song for me! ... "help me baby, I ain't no stranger!"
Love these tutorials! Great stuff!!
I love this song!
YES!!! Thank you! Awesome! More Stones please 😁
Great job, as always!
Rumours have it, Keef comes to this video as an aid memoire, brilliant video
so simple but so well put together !
You're a tremendously good guitarist.
As always, spot on. Thank you.
Excellent presentation, thanks.
Excellent! Thank you for another great video!
This is one of the best tutorials for my favorite rock ‘n roll riffs of all time. The fascinating part of this whole thing is that once you learn the framework of the song (tuning, chords, sound, etc.), a moderately talented guitarist can do it, make it their own, and effin’ rock it. It would become so natural that thinking about how to stroke, or how many scratches to include, or which other notes (in tune, of course) to hit wouldn’t matter one bit…we’d just “feel it.”
Also, one of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned about musicians is that we are all incredibly effin’ lazy. We’re going to do what feels and flows naturally. I idolize Jimmy Page, but I can’t get my “Black Dog” to sound like his, no matter how hard (or not) I try…for some reason, I strive for the recorded version when I play that one, even though I know Page’s live version wasn’t studio quality, but still effin’ awesome.
All that aside - I doubt that any audience member (pedestrian, or master guitarist) would hear a guitarist who knows this song covering it on stage and say to themselves, “oh, crap! He just barred that part instead of a single note! What a crappy guitarist!”
Great job, man! Awesome tutorial!
Another GREAT video, Thanks!
This was EXCELLENT!!!!!! Bravo!!!!
Awesome Lesson Thank you!
