Keith changed his tunings so he didn’t have to change his finger patterns. Ultimate genius at being lazy
No
that’s not why he learned open g... and he’s not lazy at all
Using smarts to avoid extra work... that's pro level
Think smarter not harder
That's absolutely false and it doesn't even make sense. He prefers open G because he likes the sound and it's easier to work out what's a comfortable key for Mick to sing in. That's why he often uses a capo in open G.
Unless someone wants to send him a free Telecaster, maybe stop commenting about the guitars he used.
John Holland A Tele Squire is about $250.00 American donate or don’t complane
I really think he nailed the sound! I own an American Strat and a MIM Tele. Tele's awesome!
Dont forget keef used a sunburst strat in open G as well early 70s at some point 😉
Please help me I need an American strat fender
R.I.P standard tuning
White Chic 😂
Lol,
That's the very first thing I thought when hearing JJFlash. Still admirable how much he got right on the songs.

I liked it becauze it was at 666, it felt wrong
the more I learn the guitar, the more respect I have for Keith. Awesome work, man
Thanks buddy,
i saw an interview keith gave where he had the opportunity to play a couple licks. he goes, nah mate i only play for money. this same show had guitarist play licks who richards claimed as an influence.
The acoustic arrangements are beautiful. The electric riffs are dangerous.
@@matthewchunk3689 Have you seen his knuckles recently? He probably can't play anything without a cortisone shot.
Without open G tuning, this guy can’t come near Keith. His timing is off
My mum's been to a concert of them here in Argentina. She says that she put her headphones on her belly so I could hear the Stones when I was in there. 14 years later, I'm still a fan of them.
@S I will :)
This is why the rolling stones is an eternal band. They never get old
Nice job. THE next time I watch, I'll have my guitar tuned and ready to go.
I just saw The Rolling Stones in concert last Saturday in St Louis MO. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards STILL have it in their late seventies. My wife couldn’t believe they were that old - she thinks Mick is hot and Keith is adorable. We’re 25. Anyway, time to buy my first guitar, a squier telecaster.
That's awesome, wish I could've made it to that concert
Lol, that bohemian rock star charm never fades
People need to appreciate the album Tattoo You more, for the amazing riffs on there.
There's some good songs on that album.
Agreed - I've always been fond of Tattoo You since my dad had it on LP when I was a kid. Always loved "Start me up" particularly.
Waiting on a friend is probably the greatest music video of all time
Keith Richards was a simple and yet complex guitarist all in one. Most of his riffs are easy to play for the most part.. however... the style and fluidity he put into those simple riffs is what makes them so hard to learn.
Its almost as if he mixed punk rock ( before punk, of course) with blues technique
Almost like punk rock evolved from rock which evolved (barely) from blues rock lol
I had to play these night after night in the 60's gigging. You got 'em right on the nose! Really fun songs. Thanks!
Thank you!
In the 60s Were you in the Rolling Stones..??
Sea-Saw probably had a cover band in High school
Ever hear a riff and say "why didn't I think of that"😂
Yeah
Let's take the time to appreciate how he absolutely NAILED those tones!
You forgot the riff of "Miss You". By far, my favorite song of The Rolling Stones ❤️
Rust in peace Brain🎸 and Ian🎹🙏 you where and are 2 fucking legend we will never forget you
I reckon you’ve got those pretty much spot-on, mate. Been a Stones fan since I was a kid and you’ve nailed ‘em. Excellent stuff!
Thanks. That's a nice compliment. I appreciate it!
EggZACKLY What he said!
Yep
Yep
I noticed that, too. Not many people get Wild Horse in Open G or You Can't Always Get What You Want in Open G correct. However, saying it is spot on is relative because Keith would layer guitar tracks each in different tunings, whether it was overdubs, or for the entire track. Nonetheless, great guitar playing.
Keith was the riffmeister. Definitely the best alternate tuning riffs, maybe the best period.
Great point
Not the best alternate riffs but he’s close
Sonic Youth and Soundgarden have the best alternate tunings riffs.
Tony Iommi is the undisputed titleholder of riffmeister
Keef was, is, and always will be one of the coolest men to walk this planet. You just provided a little snippet of why.
amen
Macca
I was born in a crossfire hurricane....
I was born in Brighton.
I was born in 1951
The best one ♥️
I was born on a partly cloudy and mild day. The wind picked up a little later in the evening... so I'm told.
They are just cool and well put riffs. You can recognize Keith playing just hearing him for 5 seconds. He built his style like baroque painters did
I like it that you included a couple acoustic things. I’ve always thought that Richards’ acoustic work doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Great job on all of it, though. I’ve been a Stones guy since 1964 and know all those tunes backwards and forwards. You nailed them all.
Yeah there's plenty of great acoustic songs they did. I may even do a video of just their acoustic songs. Thanks for watching!
Sound like you guys know a thing or two about guitars and The Stones. I am New to the guitar, but I read Keiths book years ago and remember him telling that he plays alot of his thing with only 5 strings, and does something he call, open g tuning. Can anyone explain to me what that is about and how it works?
Love the video btw
@@RockNRollDad88 the open G tuning is usually achieved by starting at the largest string( E) tuned to D, keef removes this string because it's not really necessary for his style. the next( A) string is tuned down one to G, the D string is kept D ,so no change, same goes for the G string, the B string is kept at B, the high E string is tuned down to D. So you're only really changing two strings if you remove the big E. With this tuning strumming the open strings results in a G chord. By barring the strings you are now achieve chords by using one finger. Keef often uses the middle and ring finger to make seventh( i think) chords and just that will go a long way. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I am can be more helpful. Im a twenty year intermediate and I see kids that can play circles around me. But your comment was recent and I hope I was a bit of help. Good luck.
Waiting on a friend. Gets me everytime. What a fucking tune.
My dad would wait patiently for that music video to air on MTV back in the day.... when I hear that stones song.. I think of my dad
@@kevin2400 may he be at peace always 🙏
The Stones really bring out the best of the guitar. So many beautiful songs.
There is so much emotion in those riffs. Nice job!
The Brown Sugar lick is worth watching the entire video all the way through. You saved the best for last.
Brown Sugar is a masterpiece! I've been into it since I was a kid in the 80s. What more can I say.
It’s funny, you could prolly do a 50 greatest riffs for the stones.
Am currently learning “19th Nervous Breakdown” on my Les paul. Already know “Start Me Up” and “Brown Sugar,” as well.
Nice one. They're fun to play.
Blocksy For sure.
@@bloxsy_ Could you cover Brian's riff on 19th Nervous Breakdown (the Bo Diddley style riff)
90s Guy It’s very easy to do.
Tell me your favorite Rolling Stones album and why it’s let it bleed
Wow, Gimme Shelter sounded exactly like the stones
Every time I try to play that riff, it just sounds off. To be fair, I play it adjusted to e standard so it's a little awkward to play with the corrected fingering.
All sound choices are spot on
Keith’s riffs were so basic, but so musical and unique. His use of different tunings gave way to such a diverse set of grooves, many of which you masterfully demonstrated. Nice job. The Stones Rule!
That Brown Sugar cover was tight as hell. Great job!
Thanks!
Amazing video, I've always loved the Stones riffs, Jumpin 'Jack Flash is one of my favorites🎼🎸♥️
I’m 58 and after going to my first Stones concert last year I’m infatuated with Keith’s riffs ! Bought an acoustic and have been learning to play very slowly I might add ! My goal would be able to play Brown Sugar one day !
You can learn them. At lot of Keiths riffs are very simple, you just need the strength in your hand to hold the one finger chords.
Best quarantine video I've seen yet. So good.
The Beautiful tone you always achieve. Impeccable. thank you,
Thanks man.
Love that you're using the Joyo AC Tone!!
Excellent Blocksy. These riffs are instantly recognized and loved. Your Strat is beautiful 🎸👍
Thanks David!
As I understand, "Satisfaction" riff was created by the Stones with very little effort. But all those others.... Now that I see how they are played... Just... DANG!!!!
Well, that's why they are simply the greatest rock 'n roll band of all time.
Great job!
Yep. Those 16 thumbs downs are Beatles fans
Zep is hands down the best
@@zacharygutshall8452 I accept your opinion, but not for me. I can listen to them, but if I never hear them again, I'm good.
Was loving this until we got to riff 10 and was expecting that was all. But it turned out to be a top 20! This is very inspiring. Thank you.
Thanks for the great playing and tone. Made my day. Hope you have a great one as well. Thanks!
Love these videos, keep them coming
Well done. Many incredible riffs. Gimme Shelter and Brown Sugar - two of my faves
Nice strat tone demo!!! And great playing. Thank you for the video.
Thank you!
Too cool. Keith, Ronnie, and you make it look so easy. Classic riffs indeed.
Glad that She said yeah was featured - one of my favourite Stones songs and I feel it’s often underrated
Good stuff man. Really good.
Damn that Brown Sugar was spot on! Great tone and great playing, really makes you appreciate the simple yet brilliant style of Keith Richards.
Great to see Happy on there! Just wondering where Rocks Off, Get Off My Cloud, and Bitch are
Rocks off is my favorite stones track easily!
There are too many great ones. Can't beat the Stones' guitar game.
That unmistakable sound! Loved every minute of it! Just great! 👍
Thanks very much!
Great video---awesome playing, great job!!
Nice work man!
Nice as always!
Cheers!
First time I’ve ever heard The Last Time played exactly right and precisely the way Brian Jones played it in the studio - with those deep open strings that absolutely give it that haunted quality. Nice 👍 one ! Brian was a fabulously innovative guitarist - and an extremely clever musician - unfortunately he made up for it by being incredibly insecure - being in a group with Mick and Keith did him no good either. But he was super talented and died way before his time. Thanx for playing these great riffs - love ‘She Said Yeah’ - that song hit like a sledgehammer when I first heard it back when I was 17 - also love Mercy Mercy and That’s How Strong My Love Is - if yer fancy uploading em ?? Thanx v much !! Rxx
Thank you. Yeah, it's a simple riff but difficult to get right.
That was AWESOME bro!!!! 👍👍👍😊
The Rolling Stones is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, I really like Keith Richards' musical style and riffs, and also the band's production style, it's a very organic sound, without too many effects, it's raw rock n' roll.
Really enjoying your vids mate! Cheers!
Cheers mate. Appreciate it.
Enjoyed every bit of it!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks man, these clips are so damn helpful, again thanks.
Great vid! ❤️
Good job, guy ! I do like these riffs, all main parts of rock and R&B. Rolling Stones 4ever !
Thanks. They're fun to play.
Some of my favorite Keith Richards guitar work is "Shake your Hips" "Sweet Black Angel" & "Ventilator Blues" from the Exile On Main Street album. Keith Richards is an awesome guitarist & songwriter!
Always soooooo clean. Making my homework hearing this 😆
Brown Sugar to me is the definitive Rolling Stones riff, loved the list. Only one I'm missing is Angie
If you want to hear the pre- cursor to Brown Sugar check Flight 505 from "Aftermath ". Brian Jones is credited with playing lead guitar on it and it is a tremendous Stones track. You'll hear Brown Sugar being born!
Where is Beast of Burden man that’s like one of their best riffs...
There's enough material to do a part 2 video!
@@bigtip8371 and a part 3
Kundan Gurjar and 4
I saw this video only for "Beast of Burden" and "Dead flowers":(((((
And Brown Sugar
All stuff no fluff! Great playing and presentation, dude!
Great playing sir! I got some practicing to do! Thank you for the wake up to get after it friend!
Really great. And I like that you play some of the early stuff 👍😊
Thank you.
Well done! THAT SOUNDED AMAZING. I might buy that little Joyo AC Tone its super cheap and I love that classic Stones guitar sound.
Wow. You really nailed them all. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for watching!
Man u always read my mind, nice songs picked 👌🏽
Super work.
Thank you very much.
No one out-riffed the Stones. Period.
One word: Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin
Love Zepp. But for completely different reasons. Riffs? Nope... that's the Stones sandbox.
@@edfulginiti8798 fair enough man.
Max haha clown
Cleanest fretboard in world ! Great stuff man ! 🤘
Excellent job ♥️♥️♥️
The start of Tumblin dice is a beauty
Great sound making 😁👍🏼
Nice Job and lesson Keith😎🎸👍
Good stuff, buddy. Nice collection of riffs.....
Thanks man.
Very cool man ... midnight rambler is special...
Wonderfull!!!!
Nice job on the tumbling dice I love it
thanks man, you've earned a new subscriber, especially for backstreet girl and happy 👌
Thanks for the sub!
“Tumbling Dice” 🎲 was always a personal fave!
Great work.👍
Good job man.
Back Street Girl, yeah! I was not expecting that one.
Enjoyed that alot thanks
Nice job!
Nice to hear the collection once more. Brilliant when all played together. Reminds me of Elvis - Mystery Train riff
Bravo! .....part 2 ???
"midnight Rambler", I think this is my favorite riff of them. Delicious sound.
Really enjoyable. Thanks!
Thanks for watching man!
Great video🙏
Thank you!
I might have had Rocks Off in place of one of those. That intro kicks off the whole album the right way.
Such great riffs.
So good! I always thought Brown Sugar was number one too.
this is truly NICE :)
Would be cool if you could layer videos for the opening guitars of Gimme Shelter. Very nicely done overall!
Fantasticly done!!!!! I wish I could play like this (or play at all)
Des riffs de légende...BRAVO !
