  • Keith Richards is the heart of the Rolling Stones and, besides being the architect of their sound, defined by some of the best riffs in history. If in other bands one follows the drummer - in the Stones, according to Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, one follows the guitar of Keith Richards. ‘Keef’ has always placed a well executed riff before a long solo, and created his own style while he does it. This is thanks to his special tunings and how the riff is adapted - and how he has adapted, and along with him the band, to them. These 10 riffs form a part of the history of rock & roll.

      The dirtiest rif in poprock history, if its played with the right Keith feeling ofcourse😎

    • @TheOrigamiPeople
      @TheOrigamiPeople Год назад

      It’s the hardest of the lot. Probably the one that you have to take off the thickest string.But also the mini slides in between the rhythmic chops.Amazing creativity with open G minus one.

      You can't play EVERY Stones song with g tuning since the first time he used it was in 1968. He also used open E( "Prodigal Son," "Street Fighting Man," and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" are open E (E-B-E-Ab-B-E), with the latter two songs capo'd on the 8th fret so that they sound C-major), open D, overdubs in "Nashville" tuning (Wild Horses), Standard tuning on songs like Angie, Slave...

    Classic five string for the 1st few songs. Beggars Banquet was the original album he displayed different tuning. Love that album because they seemed to be so happy in the studio being creative. They also had one of the best producer’s ever in the dear departed Jimmy Miller. Just an opinion.
