This instructor has the nuts and bolts to play immaculately so many Stones classic per se and these can be carried over to a lot of Black Crowes songs. This is the BEST tutorial, bar none, of Keiths' style of open G tuning. Along with Brown Sugar, ad infinitum the others, forget the rest of the tutorials on TH-cam, this is the ultimate "play along " or the BEST way to learn this song. Check the rest out. This is the Holy Grail.
This the best lesson I've seen so far. The continuous commentary helps a lot. Listening to exactly which string on which fret is sometimes much easier than squinting at a hundred replays. Excellent stuff. You've got me playing the Stones music I always dreamed of playing. Thanks, bud!
I have been playing for about 4 yrs now but never had a lesson. I have learnt so much from TH-cam guitar lessons. I'm at the point where I really want to play with other people and learn about timing and rhythm. I have a looper and a drum machine to play over but it's not the same.
Perfect! I Thanks for the excellent instruction. Too bad we didn't have TH-cam and this video 45 plus years ago. The bar public could have been spared an awful lot of incorrect and poorly played Stone's covers. I very much appreciate your time here.
Thanks Alfred! I really enjoyed your presentation. First...it was CLEAR, CONCISE, AND CORRECT. And to put the real high polish sheen on it...there was absolutely ZERO BULLSHIT. For that I am truly grateful. You da MAN!
Excellent lesson. Reminds me of a guitar player friend, Juilliard graduate, who showed me this same technique many years ago. I was so taken aback then, and now. Thanks.
Best lesson on youtube that I've come across yet. The right amount of detail and the right amount of demonstration, without making it very confusing. Really great!
thank you so very much man im 53 and ive played guitar off and on all my life put other things first i guess i only played on stage once and it was terrible everybody was so drunk dont think it really mattered but now that im older single and no other pryorities than God and a major thanks to you and this video i may see a way ill actully get to play out a little and sound really good thanks a million my new friend
I'm 54. Started playing about 33 years ago. Never been on stage, but at a couple of parties with friends. Nothing special. I was just trying to keep up. Marriage and kids almost killed my playing. Hardly ever even pick one up, but with the kids getting older now, (16, 18 & 21) I can finally have a little future with it. I'll never play like Keith or Tom Scholz, but we can still have a little fun. Bought myself an acoustic 12 string about a year ago. Still working on that...gives me something to strive for. Keep on Rockin'!
I often wondered what was the big to-do with Keith Richards. I’ve seen the Stones live and he often takes big strums and his left hand seemed effortlessly playing chords but mostly open as he pulled his guitar away from his body. Now that you’ve illustrated step by step what he does on this particular song ... I was left speechless. Thanks! Great job!
Thanks so much for sharing. These dislikes and negative comments are obviously from JEALOUS people who either can't play a note , or play well and are threatened by anyone else that plays well ... I enjoy your videos and they are well constructed, and VERY helpful.... kudos dude, keep rockin
fabulous lesson ... the best most concise most accurate teaching I have seen online... I have always just played it in standard tuning... but it is clear you have the parts correct... Thanks from many people who would like to know this....
Hi from New Zealand, Excellent Rollin stones guitar player, and it's sounds exactly how Keith Richards would play it. However, he can't break it down note for note. Most tutors have that problem. Lucky for me, I have been trying to nail this song since it come out. And picked it up straight way. However, there are guitar plays who, wouldn't be able cotton-on to it, as quick as I did. These players, you have to play it note for note. Another way is to go to his TAB page? I think a web site is advertised at the being of the this vid. I'm so please I can now play along with the CD, to fine tune my timing. & singing. It's a real party song, women wett their panties over this song. it is the grand daddy of all their songs. A BIG THANK YOU!!
Open G is the key. I never knew. Makes it so much easier. I've learned Brown Sugar from you too. Makes me feel like a kid again learning songs from my friends. Thanks
Hello and thank you, 93janov That's a 15-year old Lennon reissue Casino and, if I recall, I used an AC30 model from Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5 on this song.
As Stinkefinger007 writes, yes, you can easily use a pentatonic scale. You just need to transpose the notes played on the 1st, 5th, and 6th strings (the ones tuned down a whole step) up two frets.
Thank you, Alfred. I've seen many lessons on this song, but yours is the only one I've seen that shows the lead licks at 9:47 that I could never figure out. Absolutely spot on lesson.
Keith admitted in his book that Mick Taylor "was added for posterity's sake. This means it was Keith's hard worked out riffs, but Taylor actually played the one we all hear on the album. Anyone who plays guitar well enough or knows these guys styles well enough knows just by listening. Keith's my favorite but that's Mick Taylor.
great Alfred.. ... really great explanation... gonna have to learn this (just learnt "The Chain" Studio version - Fleetwood Mac) saw Ry Cooder in Melbourne ... live.... great player with a DJ quality voice ... thx for the demo
OMG! The perfect instructional guitar video! Instantly subbing! I have never seen a song so completely described in a video. Perfect! Thank you!!! I love the guitar in this song...
Thank you! The videos we show here are excerpted from our book/DVD series called Allred's Ultimate Easy Play-along. We have complete book/DVD sets for the Stones, Zeppelin, early Beatles, Grateful Dead and John Lennon. The DVD's also include full play-along tacks with software that allows you to create your own mix. And all our books are fully licensed and artist approved.
What a great lesson that shows the rhythmic brilliance of Keith Richards. I, like many others long before the internet, attempted to play this tune in standard tuning. I could never get the full feel of the tonal content that you demonstrate very well. What I can't figure out, is who is disliking this video? There are 371 dislikes, what are they not liking about this lesson? It's a great song, great chords and fills with a great teacher demonstrating all of the above. Some people just have to complain. Anyway, great job on this lesson.
Man this is freakin great! I've always played in std A440 or down a 1/2 step in all the cover bands i've been in..This sounds way better & its much easier too sing than while using bar chords in G! Dude just blew my mind!

Roger Brown easiest is go to Amazon.com. Do a search for the artist name followed by "ultimate Play-along". Here is a link to the Stones book at Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739093843/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0483HQDFQVJNPNP4BSH3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846
Nice guitar ! I love the paint job on it. Sure would like to here and see you play the whole song through without any inter ruptions? Then, proceed with instruction on how to play it would be nice arrangement I think?
I had a feeling it was dropped to open tuning. I do an approximation with standard tuning, but one cannot therewith get that nice slide with open chord sound without the G-open tuning. I suppose it helps to have more than one guitar on stage, one with open tuning to use for such songs as this.
M8 put a Tronical on your guitar and you are in open anything ;) in meter of seconds. I have it on my Tele and it is best investment I did in my whole musical life :)
One set of sheet music I bought in the 80's showed you how to play it in A but I knew that's not what they were playing it in-didn't sound the same, though close. Great Job!
This correct studio version is the best, though some of the live versions sound cool too, but the phrasing, the echo, the timing, shadowing of all the parts together make up a really great piece of music. And oh yeah, the Cowbell, that's the only flaw, it needed more cowbell.
Vicgmus...the guys giving you the core of the song FREE!...who cares what mick..ronnie or brian play...anyway ..thanks al,,incedently..i interviewed keith and he took all my blow w/out saying a word...
Thank you so much for this video. Seriusly. I've GOT to master it!! . It's been years since i didn't see such a good tutorial. In every aspect. You got a New subscriber.

This is probably the best guitar lesson I have seen, clear and concise and brilliant !
Excellent lesson. Reminds me of a guitar player friend, Juilliard graduate, who showed me this same technique many years ago. I was so taken aback then, and now. Thanks.

WOW more please...I have been playing these very badly for too long...Great Tutorial!
thanks Alfred great tutorial You Remind Me of my 6th grade math teacher she taught me in such a way about numbers no one ever could
Hello and thank you, 93janov
That's a 15-year old Lennon reissue Casino and, if I recall, I used an AC30 model from Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5 on this song.
The format you use is very good easy to follow with the whole song at the back.
By far the best lesson presentation ever!
Mick Taylor played the 2nd guitar in the studio.. This was the first song Mick Taylor played on when he joined the stones. But excellent lesson.
Loved this, very informative, just goes to show what a great musician Keith is, as if we didn't know already!Thanks for a wonderful lesson!
Thank you. That's the most accurate breakdown I have seen of the song. Good job man.
Wow. Ive never tried that song. So easy, its brilliant.
Your voice is amazing,chorus is brilliant!!!!
Perfect - Your sound and feel is perfect to the Keiths' sound, excellent tutorial!
As Stinkefinger007 writes, yes, you can easily use a pentatonic scale. You just need to transpose the notes played on the 1st, 5th, and 6th strings (the ones tuned down a whole step) up two frets.
Thank you, Alfred. I've seen many lessons on this song, but yours is the only one I've seen that shows the lead licks at 9:47 that I could never figure out. Absolutely spot on lesson.
Thank you for the open G tuning clear explanations.
Nice tutorial . .nice axe,, too . .I have one of them, those p-90's fit the song perfectly. Thanks.
What a brilliant tutorial, if only you tube was around in 1971
Congrants! Clear, efficent, and so close to the original, Keith
This Casino is beautiful guitar..
Keith admitted in his book that Mick Taylor "was added for posterity's sake. This means
it was Keith's hard worked out riffs, but Taylor actually played the one we all hear on the album. Anyone who plays guitar well enough or knows these guys styles well enough
knows just by listening. Keith's my favorite but that's Mick Taylor.
This is a very, very good tutorial. Not only to the song, but Stones overall.
your Casino sounds amazing...gotta love those P90s.
Simply explained ... mystically played!! Wow, what a great rendition THANK you very much for an excellent lesson (example virtuoso)!

This IMHO is the greatest guitar riff ever written.
Thanks so much for this, just goes to show what a fantastic musician Keith is, so very many wonderful intros and licks, so very good to listen to!
Incredible video! You did everything right. Thanks for this high quality lesson!
Excellent video and a great cover of the track, too!

Great video. What I would like to see would at some point have a 1/4 screen closeup of the fret hand...
Actually Mick Taylor played the country sounding lead part's I've read that in several interviews that this was the first song Mick Taylor played on.
I'm surprised at how good that Casino sounds for these Stones tunes. Thanks for the sweet video!
Great lesson. Thank you for all the open G info. Very informative and well explained.
I'm subscribing now.
So glad to have tripped over your site!
