Thanks gdgbd! Do you know HOW our man is playing this riff? I suppose, he is not playing the "barré G#m" on the 3rd fret as we learn in guitar school 1st lesson?? Sorry, i am a pretty bad guitar player, but from time to time i succeed playing orginal Stones riffs...

there's a little trick here when you go up from G#m to A, A is a major chord, then you have this little riff and then you go back to G#m, the same for Am to A#, hope it's clear.

Remember that terrible hip-hop song 'Jump Around'? The start of the song uses the original Harlen Shuffle intro.

I play it on the 4th fret barre with hammerons , which seems to work OK, but play lots of licks around the chords
