You need the open E, A, and D strings in standard tuning for the riff, as its:
E-G G G / A-C C C / D-F F F / G
With the F and last G-chord played as a D-shape on the 4th and 6th position.

She's so Cold tuning question

Judging by footage from the Bigger Bang tour it looks as though Keith played it in standard tuning, did he play it in open G in 81/82!? Looks like t it from the footage available on youtube, especially as he plays it on the same Tele used for Tumbling Dice on severals tours. his finger positions indicate this as well.

It's easier playing those Berry-riffs in standard tuning I guess. And Ron seems to be playing most of the rythm guitar on it, these days.
I think most of the studio version is in standard tuning aswell, isn't it?

I'm not sure but I think so, as you can clearly hear the first chord - G - with a pull off the the bare E string in that. I think. So yes

first song I ever learned to play, actually. In standard tuning.. good song to start out with for someone who picks up a guitar and wants to play R&R.

My first love too.....This is funny, I had trouble with this one, but, tune a 6 string to open G, but leave the low E as is. Hit the open G, then walk up (E,G) on the 6th string.
No idea how it was recorded,(Mathis question), but this is plausible, and allows having two guitars, one in G, one standard, to hit all the licks.

In some guitar magazine interview, the interviewer said to Keith that he'd tried to get the "clicking" sound of the guitar that's in SHE'S SO COLD and LITTLE T&A, and went through massive frustration, until he retuned to open G. (If I'm remembering this right; I read it years ago.)

Standard runing on the album, played with analog delay (the slap back). Keith used the effect as well for the 81 tour, but chose to play it in open G, that's why the riff sounds different.
On recent versions Ronnie plays the opening riff, and they both play in standard tuning, witout any slap back.

Lol.....I knew you'd answer.....D formation..... makes sense. I guess if you play alone long enough, it's hard to be a minimalist. The riff sounds so good in G, I couldn't let it go. Without picking up the guitar, I am guessing the D form really sets you up for the licks.
They really need that echo/delay on this one,IMO..... live it just sounds gutted; it's all about tone and dynamics.
