    The Rolling Stones "Jumping Jack Flash" guitar lesson. Today we're using the Lovepedal High Power Tweed Twin with a low gain setting to give a harmonically rich rhythm tone to a Fender Custom Shop Telecaster. Keith is said to have recorded this on an acoustic with open D tuning and a capo on the 2nd fret (E) but can also be seen playing it live with an open G tuning and a capo on the 4th . In order to give a single guitar the versatility to play the main and overdubbed parts, a tuning of open E does the job well. One finger chords a always a benefit of open tunings and with the right technique, you can continue the chords of the chorus and layer the melody over the top for a complex sound by your lonesome. Enjoy your riff of the day guitar lesson!

    Like a fool I tried to play this song for years in standard tuning and it never sounded right.
    Then I saw a YT Video about how it’s really played in an E or D tuning. I forget which and then I Down Tuned the Guitar 🎸 with an Tuning App. Another innovation that didn’t exist 20 years ago. The I hit the chords and VIOLA! It was easy and sounds exactly like the recording. It was a Revelation! With the right tuning suddenly the riffs and the song are incredibly easy to play and fun! I was amazed!
    All those years of playing it wrong and the chords not sounding right were over! I thought Keef, you Sly Bugger! You fooled everyone with your drop down Tunings and I realize he probably leaves most of his guitars in drop Down tunings.
    I can finally play JJ Flash correctly now after all these years! What a relief!
    Keef is one sly guy! He fooled me with his slick alternate Tunings!
    And it took the Internet and RUclips to finally help me figure it out.
    Otherwise, on my own I’d never know!

      Yes, you can play this piece in standard tuning! Other tunings like E major, G major etc makes it easier to play. You only have to use one index finger to fret notes. Eg if the guitar is tune to E then the third fret with one finger gives a G chord and so on👍 You are not a fool?!...just didn’t know little guitar tricks🤔

    This song has always been intriguing because you're never really sure how it's played on the guitar either live or on record, whether in standard, open E, open D or open G tuning, or any combination/capo positions with different overdubs. I've researched by looking at old videos and back then the primary focus was on Mick Jagger and you can't really see what the guitarists are playing. One exception is THE ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS circa 1968 and both Keith and Brian Jones (for what it's worth) are playing uncapoed guitars and it's unclear if Keith is playing in standard tuning but it appears that he is. By 1969 as seen in the Stones' Hyde Park concert, Keith has already switched to the familiar 4th fret capo/surely open G tuning that he'd adopted around that time from Ry Cooder with the 1969 Muscle Shoals LET IT BLEED/STICKY FINGERS recording sessions (and has become his religion ever since), and Mick Taylor is playing uncapoed and most likely in standard tuning, and I believe that Ronnie Wood also plays that way.
    One point worth mentioning is that the familiar intro riff that appears on the record was always excluded and never played in the live versions of the song, which is a bummer because it's so great, not to mention that the original distorted "half-acoustic, half-electric" sound by recording with a cassette recorder and playing back through a mic is just as much a part of the true feel of the track as anything. I suppose that it proves that point that the track was recorded with a combination of tunings and the open D or E tuning was used for the intro, and the Stones never bothered to try to replicate that live onstage, but I'll always wonder why Keith never came up with an amicable adaptation that could be used within his open G tuning. (And I've never heard that question asked in any interview with him.) Thanks.

      DDEENY Rock and Roll Circus version is in standard. Studio version used an acoustic in open D capo'd at the 2nd, and the other guitar is in open E. There could very well be other acoustics layered on top but there is a Nashville tuned guitar somewhere in the mix.

      I find the tricky thing with Rock and Roll Circus video is I'm just not sure what Brian actually is or isn't doing. You make a good point though.
      I've always thought this song should be a snap to get but something really quirky about it. Great great song for sure.

    Wonderful! The best lesson ever about this song in RUclips, however let me point out some things. You are correct on the tunning. The studio version of the song had the guitars tuned to Open-E kind of intervals, and not Open-G as some stubborn guys like to parole. If you take your lessons and try to play along with the original 1968 version, it will feel slightly out of tunning, coz for some reason, the instruments were tuned flat on the whole song. So, take your Open-E tuning and flat it to a "Open-Eb", and try it again, your guitar will couple with Keith's immediately! Also, the correct riff for the first part of the song is what you show between 2:38 and 2:45, both guitars play the riff like that until the interlude comes. When the interlude is gone, one of the guitars change the way to play the riff on the open mode (as you show between 2:47 and 2:55), and the other stays tight (as between 2:38 and 2:45), and it goes like this till the end of the song. Listen carefully and you will catch it as well.

      The guitars were not tuned flat. One of the tape recorders used for mastering the record was running too fast. So when that master tape was used for making the record on another right speed taperecorder it went flat on the record.

    I'm just a stickler for 440 tuning. If you're taking 3 guitars out to play, more power to you! There aren't too many songs, if any, that I couldn't figure out with 440 tuning. Some songs won't be perfect, but very few people would be able to hear the difference. Let me make it abundantly clear that I'm no great guitarist and my ego is not a problem. When asked if I'm any good my favorite response is "I don't think I suck"! The NYC subways was my favorite place to play. Spring St. used to be my favorite stop to play. Now retired, more or less, I'm kinda old. Thanks & keep playing...!!!

    I have a Stones bootleg I DL’d called Obsidian and it has various outtakes or early takes some just music of songs from the early 60’s up to the early 80’s and the Jumping Jack Flash which is presumably contemporary and recorded in Spring 68 sounds like it has Mick Taylor playing on it. It’s definitely not Brian Jones, it could be Keith + Keith overdubs but it has that Taylor melodic blues runs. I have heard prior to joining Taylor did jam with the Stones and in those days there would only been a few recording studios and the musicians would have all known each other.

    First of all, the original recording is in B flat. It so happens that the guitar is tuned half a step down. And so the music stays in A major. The intro starts in B major, then E major and A major... The chorus (but it's all right...) goes into D major... A major.... E major and goes back to B major. .. Regardless of the issues related to Open G, Open E... Nashville tune... etc... all the music is perfectly playable (in the original style) with 2 guitars tuned as I said above. My opinion.

Anyway... if you listen to a good mix of the original, with headphones, you'll understand exactly how the various guitars work (all, as far as I know, played by KR...). Greetings.

      Thanks, the background music for PGS was primarily comprised of songs written by myself or Jamie Wolfert (Harsh Tones, Inc. chan). This particular tune is mine-- a Zep inspired one for sure.
