Cafaro,why not learning Tabs?It's easy to understand and lots of sites on the internet!
This is really embarrasing for this board, skipstone you really really suck
The guy just asks a question, and you replie like this, shame on you!!!!!!!
Woah man. Hang on. Surely at some point you started to learn how to play the guitar or did you come out of your mothers womb with guitar in hand playing like a guitar god?
Surely you're still learning? You know everything there is to play on the guitar?
Cafaro good post man coz I wasn't sure of how to play Monkey Man and now I can.
ps I would dearly love to know what the chords are for All About you.
Cheers

Don't be discouraged, Cafaro, and I hope you will continue to ask for tips here. If we can't help folks learn to play Stones songs here, then I don't know what this forum is for.
Maybe "I've determined that you don't know how to play guitar" was not particularly helpful or encouraging to Cafaro. I certainly remember being at the stage where I had only been playing 18 months and desperately wanted to learn every possible Stones song (without the benefit of help on the Internet). So, go easy, man.

Brown Sugar is relatively easy. You're using the same two open G chord shapes all the way through.
exactly! I want to chime in here because believe it or not, I just learned how to play in open-G. it is a real revelation. more like a feeling of " oh, so that's how its done..." and please, I've been playing a long time, but I'm primarily a bass player. one who loves to play rhythm guitar, though..so, better late than never, on the open-G ! its so right for playing rock and roll, Stones style, finding this out for myself has completely energized me and the interest in guitar. Like Cafaro, I've been searching out cool old guitars, and trying to educate myself about them.
Back to Brown Sugar...yes play it in open G, check out Stones videos, omg its one of the most fun songs to play ever,
There are a ton of fun open G songs to play - it could be its own thread - but two lesser known ones I love playing are "Hand of Fate" (because of the A minor chord over the open G) and "I'm Going Down" has to be one of the greatest open G chord progressions they have done. Too bad the lyrics didn't get quite finished, or this could have been a classic.

Hello all,
Yes....it;s Flea bit peanut time. I am not having much luck with this. The closest I am coming is some sort of Chuck Berry thing for the main riff.I've been working on it for 4 days. I am not looking at tabs as I want to try it "natural"
I have a few questions:
1) Is this song in open tuning? If so, which one? I am getting the slide "solo" part playing in open A.
2) how does one play the beginning of the main riff? Is it slide or or fingers or both? It sounds like he does it both ways. In fact, I am really struggling with the entiire riff... I am just playing an A power chord and lifting my pinky up and down, but I know it;s not right.
I will greatly appreciate any help.

The slide is in open E.
Intro is played over the top notes of a C sharp minor chord 9th fret.
The riff is in standard in key of C sharp. You hammer on from fret 6 to fret 8 of the A string and then play a C sharp on the D, G, and B strings (so, an A position chord). Then you do that classic Keith suspended thing by holding the 3-string C sharp and playing the 8th fret of the D string and 7th fret of the B string. Hammer on and off that (that's a IV chord, or E chord).
The verse starts on a E chord (A position, bar 27th fret) with hammer-ons of the B note on the A string and pull-offs on the suspended note by putting your pinky on the 5th fret of the B string.
The bridge is just E/B/A/B until it resolves in C sharp ("I'm a monkey!")
That's most of the song. The rest is just big chords. Sorry I can't write notation.

So I've come to this conclusion -
you don't know how to play the guitar.
This is an easy song to play. I'm not sure why it is difficult for you. It doesn't make sense to me that you can't get it. But then again, it's not like you're saying you can play it better or that you've found a better way, unlike some revisionist historian on the board that would boast such a bullshit thing.
I'm at a loss here so I bow out.

Thank you all. We all learn in different ways. There are many songs I have figured out on my own but this one got me.
Sorry Skipstone. If my questions about playing guitar frustrate you so much, why do you read them?? I have been playing guitar for 18 MONTHS! I get about an hour day to play. Obviously you have been playing a lot longer and you are obviously an expert which makes me wonder why you are wasting your time bashing me when you should be off on a world tour with your band.
To the rest of you all...I again thank you. I think I had the basic idea correct. I appreciate the video. I am trying to learn the guitar by asking questions and then figuring it out. It helps me to understand the layout of notes on the neck, different ways to approach chords, etc. I will work on the ideas you all gave me and figure this out!
MANY MANY THANKS

I like to ask Stones songs questions here because we all all Stones fans here and it beats talkin about why Anita wanted Brian to dye is hair.
I also asked about Stones songs here because , as we know, KR will play the same songs differently. I mean look at Jumpin Jack Flash. That song has been done by the Stones in a number of different ways.
Yes, Amsterdamned. I do use them occassionally but I am really trying to train my ear but yes..I find them helpful. Thanks!
I think I will stick to guitar playing sites moving forward. Thank you all!

Why did you bother to comment at all? I mean really, you constantly disparage Cafaro's attempts to learn from those of us who are experienced players. If all you can contribute is is your negative crap, then keep it to yourself and continue in the belief of your 6 string "prowess"Quote

Funny, I JUST learned how to play this song after years of never getting it right. A lot of people say it needs a capo at the second fret but I don't see why that is necessary. Watching Keith play it on the Licks MSG dvd helped me to figure it out, and he doesn't use a capo there. Either way it is fun as hell to jam on.

First off, with the aid of watching the song live from Four Flicks and YouTube, it should be somewhat easy to figure out.
Second of all, I was simply flabbergasted with the Chuck Berry description. I wasn't "bashing" Cafaro. So I don't have something 100% positive to say and suddenly I'm mean and just trolling this thread? HA! That's a good one.
Third of all, what is y'all's problem? I've been away for a few days and you act like I'm slighting Cafaro by not responding at all? I've been away working. Go back and read what I said. It's more of a "OK so this is where it's at", not a slight, and then I remark about someone else entirely that was obviously missed.

You should choose your words with more care then. More than few thought you came off an a-hole. If you don't, or can't, answer the man's question then why bother? Also, didn't you say you were going to bow out? You are seemingly not a man of your word. So please, bow out...

It takes a real man to apologize. Well done! As to editing myself I choose my words with care and upon reflection, change them when I feel I need to, unlike some. You constantly belittle those, especially Carfaro, whom you you feel are not as well versed as you think you are in guitar playing. It's not constructive, just obnoxious...

I constantly belittle Cafaro? Do I now. That's interesting. I don't recall "belittling" Cafaro. Provide the belittling please. I'm pretty sure I've been, shall I say, supportive of Cafaro's efforts to play things. I've poked fun at one song, I think it was Happy, to make sure that the total act of pulling a Keith is acted out. I wouldn't call that "belittling", would you?
Perhaps that could have been someone else. It was somewhat recent. I can't remember exactly. I recall talking about something in Dear Doctor and the language was somewhat confusing.

Brown Sugar is relatively easy. You're using the same two open G chord shapes all the way through.

exactly!

Like Cafaro, I've been searching out cool old guitars, and trying to educate myself about them.
Back to Brown Sugar...yes play it in open G, check out Stones videos, omg its one of the most fun songs to play ever,

There are a ton of fun open G songs to play - it could be its own thread - but two lesser known ones I love playing are "Hand of Fate" (because of the A minor chord over the open G) and "I'm Going Down" has to be one of the greatest open G chord progressions they have done. Too bad the lyrics didn't get quite finished, or this could have been a classic.
