So I tuned my guitar to Open G, got the capo handy, and now I'm gonna sit down and learn all the Stones songs in open g. Anyone wants to help me finding all those songs - and if you can contribute some tabs or help, very appreciated!

to start:

Brown Sugar
Start Me Up
Moonlight Mile
Wild Horses
Happy



Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

They are quite many of them. Dunno if Keith do remember all. OpenG sure.

Yeah, there are lots - there used to be a thread about them, but I can't find it again...

Older threads are no longer available, unfortunately.

Before They Make Me Run
Tumbling Dice
All Down The Line
HTW

Lorenz, why don't you do it the other way 'round?

Try to play the whole catalog in open G, when it gets too awkward, you need the

standard tuning

Now, let's see.

Official releases.

no 1 HTW (although I still believe that Roster was the first)

from SF

BS, SWAY, WH, CYHMK, not too sure about YGTB (could be) MM

from EXILE

all side 1, all sides 3 and 4 save LIL

GHS

missing in action

IORR

IYCRM, DLS

B&B

HOF

Some Girls

SG and BTMMR

ER

MIA

Tattoo

SMU, BL, Tops

Part two later!

Thanks so far guys, especially liddas!
Does anyone have the chords/tabs for Tops? I couldn't find it on the net

I think "Wild Horses" is standard tuning with a Nashville strung guitar. The four lowest strings are strung with a smaller gauge and tuned an octave higher than usual. Sounds similar to a 12-string when played against a standard tuned. Common studio technique in Nashville, used by the Eagles, etc.

Wild Horses apparently also has an open G tuned guitar, see [www.guitaretab.com] .

There is also an acoustic open G there.
Plus the electric standard tuning

Wild Horses from Stripped is definitely in G - and this is the best version, imo!

I hide in shame.

Some more

Sister Fanny, I don't know why, Too Tight, Love is strong, YGMR, I go Wild, Don't stop, highwire,

Lots of Stones songs have 'open g' in them, but they nearly all have a standard tuned guitar (or two) in there as well...and there's usually an acoustic in there....oh and Mick singing...and Charlie on drums...and Ronnie on guitar...and Keith....

Ian, what chords are you using for YCAGWYW - are you playing it in open g?

It Must Be Hell?

YCAGWYW is open G, capo at 5th. Play the open chord (= actually C) and hammer on/off the 2nd position on the 3rd string, then play the F-chord.

Always Suffering
Baby Break It Down
Beast of Burden
Before They Make Me Run
Bitch
Black Limousine
Brand New Car
Break the Spell
Brown Sugar

oh man the list is looooong

Well, as previously mentioned, the Stones play YCAGWYW in open G when they play live. Personally I think the song sounds better on an acoustic in 'open e' with the capo on eighth fret...which is how we play it...

You'll need the C and F chord mainly...and there's a few little riffs in there to learn, but it's not hard...oh, and a D chord...

Ian.

Beast Of Burden, Bitch, Black Limo aren't played in Open G, open-g...

[There'll be no wedding today...]

you can play most of em...to haVE A REAL BLAST YOU NEED A BUDDY W/ A STANDARD TUNE AND THEN ONE MORE BUDDY W/ A DRUM KIT...THEN YOu CAN REALLY GET IT GOING!!!!!OPPS sorry about the caps...go online and look up tabs for open g there are tons of em... "stay w/ me " by the faces is a fun one a swell......
gimme shelter is fun , cant you hear me knocking is great.....etc..

You're probably right, bruno.
Thats the disadvantage when you don't bother to tune back to standard, like me

well said, tat2you

u need to have 2 guitars simple as that...u cant keep tuning up and down kills the strings..

G ... all in open g....?? i have one i keep in e standard ....for when friends come over....or i feel like struming other songs......but for the real stones sound you HAVE to have a open g or e as you know.....what do ya have? i have the 63 re-mAke tele and a gibson accoustic..just gave my first electric to my nephew for hanakuh...alveraz dana II ( waynes world)

Thank you very much Ian! Saw that website once and forgot it again
The main problem is really that I only have one guitar, so I constantly have to change tunings, that's very annoying. So I decided to learn the open-g parts of all the songs and then change to standard for the solos or licks and whatever...

Thanks for YCAGWYW, I always played it in open g, capo 5th fret too and it sounded good
