The Rolling Stones have a sound -- you know that sound -- and a big part of it is this particular guitar chord "trick" that Keith Richards does all the time. It's in so many of their songs. The good news is, it's fairly easy to do and you can learn to use it on any song to make it sound more interesting, and to make it a little more "Keith," without even having to tune your guitar out of standard tuning. Keith often played open G tuning, but the trick works in standard too, so you can use it anywhere there's a major chord.
This guitar lesson from Blue Morris in Vancouver will help you understand the guitar better, and connect chords to pentatonic scales whenever you see them.

And that is one of the things that makes Keith an absolute genious
He sure was good at that 👍🎸

This is an awesome video. I love browsing RUclips for little bits of technique I can apply to my playing right away. This video made total sense and really helped me connect different triads and chord shapes together to make better sounding progressions.
Great to hear thanks! Lots more coming to this channel.
Blue I woke up and looked for your video before my coffee. I started on your lesson and it made me feel good about my playing today. I needed a lesson like that. PLEASE keep it up.
Brian
Thanks Brian!!! Enjoy that coffee now ☕️
Blue you've done it again.. awesome trick, what a lesson. Thank you! 😊
thanks Eldorado!
These are my favourite kinds vids. Straight to the point, makes so much sense and I can apply it immediately to my playing - subscribed 👍🏼
Cool thanks! Lots more coming to this channel and to our Patreon
Yeah, this is some of the best tutorial I have seen for the guitar.
Great to hear, thanks Grant!
Great lesson yet again. I like how adding the major pentatonic scale turns a Rolling Stones sound to a Allman Brothers kind of sound. I have been enjoying the Patreon, getting a good catalogue of information happening over there.
Awesome thanks Steve!!! That major pentatonic really does sound Allman Brothers in this context 😀

That’s great gonna work on it!Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I searching for Rolling Stones on yt and saw your video. Click it, was amazed, picked up my guitar after 5 month and start playing and felt back to my 70th years feeling imidelity.....Great video!!!!!WOW.
Great to get back to it. Glad I could help!
Very cool how you show the Keeff sound without having to change tunings. And as you explain this can be played in any key using barre chord shapes. along with hammer ons and pull offs.
Thank you! Indeed I find it real handy when you need the Keef real quick.
I've only heard the "Keith" style in G open tuning. Thanks for this great tip.
Thanks for watching 👍
Came across your channel by chance, I have followed a few teachers on RUclips Chris Sherland and Steve Stine, you are right there if not better in your manner and method and tips on how to remember stuff …..just great …keep on keeping on ! Thanks
From Bend Oregon. Thank you for all of your videos. You've helped me quite a bit with many of your tips and tricks. I love theory, but I also love when someone just gives information in a simple, clear, easy to remember fashion. You sir, are so good at presenting guitar ideas in that way. So, sincerely... thank you.
Thanks Stan!!! Glad it's helping!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Couldn't have said it any better than what Stan put down !!
It's so true !! Speaking of Gimme Shelter, isn't that the way Keith plays that killer intro to that legendary tune ???!!!!!
@John McAleese It is basically the same, though I think that's in an open tuning, and with some variation ... but the same idea yes 😀
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Yeah !! I got cha ! You are right. Thanks so much for these awesome lessons. You seem to enjoy it. I hope you do !!
Another great video Blue. Love where you focus on just one small area that you can take away and add to your own guitar cook book.
Thanks again Bb!!! 😎
Fantastic Lesson, thanks for your time.
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely loved this! Simplicity is the key
Thanks Ben!!
I fell into this video and glad I did. What a nice way to show how something can be played without over doing it. Thank you sir!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more on the channel coming up
that was such a cool lesson. thank you so much!!!
Thanks for watching 👍
Blue! Thank you, Thank you! You have made me a better Keef with this ONE lesson! I usually play using my Keef Special (5 string Open G Tele) but now I will play more in Standard using my SG. Thanks again.
Good to hear thanks! Nice to be able to play it both ways 😀
Great lesson, may the Keith force be with you!
Thanks you too!
Really nice instructions creating the sound.
Thanks for watching 👍
Just this one lesson opened up and entire new world! Excellent! I have always considered Keith the Riff Master. Laid Back Matery.
Man that guitar sounds so damn good ! Awesome video dude 👌
Thank you!
FANTASTIC! That was a great lesson: thanks a million!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
You're the best teacher on the internet. Great lesson
Thank you! Great to hear!
Great lesson. Much appreciated, thanks.
Thanks Jim!!
Great lesson!
Thanks! 😃
Great video on adding some spice to the routine sounds. I love the tying together of everything as well. The Stones are so cool to this day and their sound is easily identified. Thanks so much for another fun useful video. I used to play the Stones on cassette in my 1970 Chrysler when I was a teenager. Now it's on CD 🙂
Hi George, thanks for the comment. Cassettes are still cool in my opinion... though I don't have a cassette deck anymore, and nowhere to buy them haha.
What's a CD?
Great video, simple explanation, easy to implement. Immediately subscribed to get more of this good stuff 👍🙏🏼
Great thanks for joining the channel!
I figured this out a long time ago when practising caged inversion shapes. It took me by surprise as I never really transcribed or practised any Rolling Stone songs. I suddenly made this rolling stone sound. After that I've heard this transition in many other songs. Although not the specific hammer on from the I to the IV chord which makes it Keith's "trick". That's the beauty of the caged system seeing all these chords and walking into them with passing scale notes. It unlocks the fretboard.
Yeah nice work! It's great to see them in all types of songs
Great video, presented in a easily understood manner. I gotta get back to my guitar and give it a whirl…nice job!
Good to hear thanks! Have fun 🎸
Another awesome lesson.
Thanks again!
I knew that before but you taught it in a direct, simple way. Good job!
Great lesson! Thank you
Thanks for watching 👍
Another great classic lesson from Blue - thx , its really a good one on some of the Keith Richards sound - and it works
Thanks again!!
"Full Keith" and "half Keith" makes it memorable too. Playing it on a Tele gives it a nice "authentic" sound.
@@jeffbosch1697 Thanks Jeff, yeah I just came up with those terms when I was filming haha
Best lesson ever. Such a quick trick. Thanks
Great thanks for watching!
Best guitar lesson I’ve seen this year, or longer !
Awesome! Thanks! Lots more on this channel and our Patreon! www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
I love this move. Picked it up years ago. You hear it in tons of songs from the 70s. The opening riff to Doobie Brothers long train running. Kiss used it a bunch too, and so many others.
Thanks yeah I throw it in all kinds of songs 😀
yeah, agree, it's really everywhere in rock music. It's in We Will Rock You, Kind of Magic, Rosalie, lot's of Status Quo songs I think (whatever you want at least) and many others. If you add the root note back in, you can also find it in Folk too, like Blues Run the Game or the opening riff of Father and Son
Excellent teachin' right there...🤘🎸🎶
Thank you!!
A variation of the D chord you show that I really like is to add in a lower 3rd on the 9th fret of the A string. Of course it works in any other key as well.
Nice demonstration👍
Thanks for watching 🎸
Rhythm fun, Kieth Richards style. Glad you added the major. Brilliant. Keep em coming Blue.
Thanks Charles!
Thanks for this video! It’s so cool to learn this trick in open tuning. Almost every video that I have ever seen on playing like Keith begins by tuning the guitar to open g. I eventually want to learn open g, but for now I am starting with standard tuning.
I agree, turns out it works great in standard, which is especially useful since that's what most of us are playing in, most of the time.
Definitely going to sign up for your patreon, so I can learn more about this.
@@keithdonohue4631 Awesome thanks Keith!!
Nice work much appreciated the manic of Keith never quits 😮
Thank you! Lots more lessons on the channel.
Excellent lesson …seriously, ….Amazing teacher .
Excellent, very practical lesson!
Thanks! Lots more coming!
This was exactly the mini lesson I needed to help me play Miss You by the Stones. You're the best!
That's a great song. Glad I could help
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Also, wicked to know you're in Vancouver too! Love seeing YT creators from the city making a splash online - keep going!
@@brettsnowball Thanks Brett! 🎸😎
This is so useful, these videos arr helping me get my head round the theory
Cool thanks again for watching and commenting 😀
Wow! Fantastic lesson! Thanks!!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Wow, this was a really fun lesson. I've seen the Keith 1-4 trick before, but not the way you showed it going D>C>G>D and that cool sounding bass line on the G. Thanks!
Thanks QBRX, good to see you here again, too 😎
Love this! Thanks Blue
Thanks Doug! Lots more coming!
Fantastic insight to this Old Trick, somebody showed to Keith Long Ago ! Subbed !

Thanks Rafa!!
Absolutely brilliant! Have a great weekend.

Great to hear thank you!
love the chord progression with KEITH FLAIR in it. great lesson! keep them coming! Peace n R N R!
Thank you! Lots more coming in the new year
Just got here and love your style of teaching. Not note by note. More like concepts to improve your jamming flow. Nice! That is what you need a good teacher for. Someone that got the clue of a concept AND can teach it in such an superb manner.
Cool thanks!!! 😎
Another cool tutorial. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
So cool! I knew about "The Keith" but have never realized it can be done in regular tuning... thanks!
Yeah its it's real handy, throw it in any song if it fits
Outstanding! ThankYou!

Well, that's about the best thing I've seen in a while. Thank you!

Thanks for watching 👍
Blue, you've done it again. I've been trying to get an easy way to play D, G, E that is relatively close together (they come fast). This is it, I can't wait to try it out!
Thanks again Philip!
Unreal man... very cool.... thanks Blue
Thank you David!!!
This was soooo super cool

Thanks man.
Good to hear, rock on
Brown Sugar is fun to play. The one with the most of this.
@@flynnstone3580 Yeah, I love playing that song
Great lesson i love the drivin rhythms of the stones. i like your presentation very watchable i have subscribed
Thank you Michelle!
This one got you a sub from England, mate. Bravo and keep ‘em coming! 👍
Great thanks Colin, welcome to the channel 😀
I live in Brazil. Thank you for this lesson!
Thank you for watching, Ricardo!
I reckon Keith could knock the ball out of the park playing a diddley bow LOL I love his sound and your appreciation of it. great video and sound, many thanks
Thanks Stuart!
Well, that was about the coolest lesson ever for me! Thanks so much,,
Great thanks Brian!
Excellent teacher. Thanks man.
Thanks for watching!
I think this was the fastest and one of the "coolest" riffs I've learned on the YTube.
Awesome thanks Joe!
This lesson is surely a lesson that you can learn andf enjoy while learining at the same time. Amazing! Cheers from Java Indonesia.
Thank you!!
Really great . I like this video you are a great teacher.

Great job. I’ve been doing those and you organized it well.
Cool thanks Nate!
Amazing Lesson
Thanks Daniel!!
That was really really cool! what a great technique!
Thanks for watching
Great, great stuff....thanks man...scribed up
Welcome aboard!
Great tip. Makes perfect sense since the D, G & B strings are the same in standard and open G. My Tele will still be a 5 string in open G, but this gives me some new ideas for the 6 string standard tuned Strat.
Another eye opening lesson.
Cool thanks!! 😎
Well explained and presented.
Thank You.
Thanks 🎸
God your lessons are a breath of fresh air….absolutely brilliant
Awesome, thanks Paul!
