Hey guys,
With the release of the LA 75 official bootleg, and the accompanying videos, I have noticed during the 75/76 tour Keith is playing IORR in open G. This seems to be the only time that I have noticed he used open g on IORR. I have search the net for videos or Tabs for IORR in open G but came up empty. Is there anyone here that can put together a tab for IORR in open g? It would be greatly appreciated!

Hadn't noticed that - I always assumed he played it in E...I think playing the chuck Berry licks in open G would be a little more tricky than in E so I'm surprised at this. Are you sure? I'll take a look and see.

I believe it is a dead giveaway by way of the guitars he is using. During the 76 he is clearly using the Zemaitis, and in the la 75 video he is using the blonde tele capo'ed around the 4th or 5th fret (can't tell).

4th fret, and played in B for 1975-shows. No capo and played in G in 1976.

Indeed you are correct and Ronnie plays the licks in standard.

In Paris for the 6th of june show, he played it's only rock'n'roll in open G

Baton Rouge 1975 1st and 2nd shows Keith played IORR on a Les Paul Goldtop with capo on the 4th fret.

Hey jpasc I| was there too

well getting back to the question at hand. Anyone able to transpose the tabs for the open g? I know keef does play some of the licks. like the intro on LA 75.

No problerm playing it in open G. Remember the D, G and B string are tuned the same as standard, so you just have to think where to put your finger on the high E string. Move two positions up from Standard and you reach the same note as you you would've had in Standard tuning.

The rhythm parts are quiet easy to get.

Yeah and i guess the rhythm part is why he picked open G, it sounds heavier, just listen to Rip this joint (open G). Or was it Mick who decided this.
