QuoteDandelionPowdermanWhat's the Em(7?) chord shape that Keith is using in open-g tuning? I know where it is but Em doesn't sound right. Maybe it's a sus4? The riff is Em sus/Em 7 (simplified, without the pinky) If you mean in 'Struggle' it's the Em with the second string note moved up two frets?

I must say I really like this song. Ok, it's a 'pop' song, but it's a good one. I have to say Carly Simon is a great singer and sexy too. What more could you ask for? Really, it's all about guys like you and I, although it's seen from a woman's standpoint. It's a little tongue in cheek but it hits a nerve at the same time. JMHO

Quotebenon againQuoteMathijsIt's almost impossible to play and sound like the Stones -in fact, so impossible that the real Stones have a very difficult time to sound remotely like "classic" Stones since Bill Wyman left. And that's the key to the Stones: the core of the band (Jagger, Richards, Watts and Wyman) have this chemistry that is imposisble to copy or duplicate. It'

QuoteskipstoneYeah, the B sharp was a joke. I know it's a capo at the 7th fret. In standard. A-440 and all that. Child is in open D. Duh, forgot. Open something. Struggle is open G. He hits the E minor and it sounds like it's about to die. It's perfeect. The live version I saw him play on that SNL show was open G. One Hit sounds like open G to me. In standard that jumping

Same thing with Struggle (I actually thought for a while he tuned up like this for the song. Later found out he does it in standard tuning). The boogie with the dark E-string on Rock's Off howev

QuoteSpudMy problem is that I can't play like anybody except Keith. I think years of absorbing the Stones maybe alters the way you hear things and your sense of timing. I'm far from an accomplished guitar player. But if I sit in with a band playing blues or RnB, folks often remark on how they liked the way it jumped and swung. One quote was "...Great ! It's lost tha

Well, if nothing else, this video proves that your line "he doesn't have a clue about chords and scales" is in fact, false? He names the chords, D, E and A? Lol!

QuoteMathijsand before I forget: of course keith is a terrible player. He doesn't have any technique, he doesn't have a clue about chords and scales, and most of the classic years he was too drunk or stoned. But -he played all HIS songs, and he played HIS songs like no other can, with a band that until '83 was the best R&R band in the world. Check the 8-track Gimme Shelter.
