Thanks guys. If I can learn that one song and play it well, my guitar dreams will have come true. Have heard Keith speak about this open tuning but didn't quite get. Think I understand now. Hopefully, soon this 60 yr old Grandma will Rock the House down! Lol!
Great conversation about a classic Stones hit. Reminds me of an interview I heard with Ken Bethea, lead guitarist with the Old 97s. He was asked his opinion on some well known guitar shreader’s playing. He basically said being able to play scales super fast, is not impressive, Keith Richards is not a fast player, but that hasn’t kept him from writing dozens off badass guitar riffs. That has stuck with me ever since. Also, as you guys point out, Keith’s elimination of the 6th string and open G tuning are such a massive part of his style, that I used to keep one of my Teles setup that way. For newer players who want to experience with alternate tunings, I highly recommend getting a Roadie automatic tuner. I know it’s not a Fender product, but it will add to your enjoyment playing your Telecaster, Strat, etc. The Roadie sync thru BT with a free app on your phone or tablet. You can set up specific instruments and/or tunings and add from there, tuning and retuning takes seconds. I have Standard, Half Step Down, Open D, Open G, standard mandolin and both standard uke tunings. Plus, you can create your own, if they are not in their library, in my case, that would be the somewhat bizarre tuning Jimmy Paige used on Rain Song. Oh, and there is a variable speed wind and unwind option that makes strings changes super easy, too. OK, I know I sound like a salesman, but I’m not. My wife got menthe Roadie 2 for Fathers Day 3 or 4 years ago and I use it almost daily. Before that, I avoided changing tunings, because it can be a pain in the arss. Anyhow, hopefully Fender won’t take down this comment, or if they have a similar product, I would LOVE to hear about it. Thanks again for an informative / fun round table discussion on JJF. Great job!
While it's true Keith was introduced to open G by Ry. He was already familiar with open tunings by then and frequently used open E. He recorded "Street Fighting Man" and "Jumpin Jack Flash" in open E before he ever worked with Ry.
nicely done presentation... this was a may 1968 single, and the open tuning is "nashville tuning" - i do not think richards got it from ry cooder who started work with them later than 1968 (on let it bleed), but certainly from american country players ... the cassette recorder technique was used on both this and street fighting man
I am 100%, absolutely certain that this is not the tuning Keith used and I wish that I can figure out what tuning he was in. But I have a recording with his isolated guitar and what you are teaching is not even close
Love it:Keefs famous for those open chords. Exp. G. THIS is like one of the first tunes I ever learned back in like69.Sounded pretty good. Johnny Winter version is also cool.
Please, guys, equalize the mics before you go on the air. You do your guests a disservice, and it seems insulting to subscribers. I've enjoyed your content this last year, but you make it hard to do so. Hint: Eugene and Dylan, turn down your mics then your guests can fit in.

Brian Whelan always brings it. As do Eugene and Dylan. But, it's always "must see" when Brian is the guest. Thank you Fender!!!

Brian brings so much great perspective. Love it when he is on the show.

Such an iconic tune! I first heard this from The Ventures. But, just a great song!
Brilliant
Great song

We are suffering for Apple bad quality webcams...
Lousy tripods, microphones & mix to boot.
It's not how he does it on the record. He does your version live
