He's an old blues fanboy, you should have figured that out pretty quick, haha! Open tunings, especially G, are pretty well ever present in pre-electric blues and rag time guitar. I love it, especially out of a old 12 string acoustic. Wish I hadn't lost my old stella in a fire...

Keith is so...Keith. Guitar legend, bad boy of rock and roll, and wise sage. No one else like him.

For "walking death" the man keeps going like the energizer bunny. Currently learning Wild Horses and You Can't Always Get What You Want, in Open G. Simple, but pure genius, really.

The way that he moves the right hand right after the strums is unique,and isn't just pose. This change the playing,the sounds.

I walked into a guitar shop in Eugene, Oregon twenty five years ago and heard a guy playing in Open G tuning. He showed me how to tune this way. I immediately started playing in Open G and got that Stones' sound. Before long I graduated to five string, Open G tuning and I as off and running. It is almost like playing a different instrument.

Great advice. Got to respect Keith in that he is a master of that big fat sound as well as intricate riffs and voicing support , both in large arenas as well as recording. I played on a large stage once, was totally lost, everything changes, to be able to step into venues like that like it ain't know thing is a highly adaptable music talent. Got to remember Keith isn't just a guitar player, here he plays pretty good keyboard if inclined to do so

My band tried hard to do a few Stones songs, they just never sounded right. Then we discovered open g tuning. We still sounded like crap, but we sounded a lot closer to the real thing.

A hold over from banjo open G. Read his book! I play both and agree, you can create amazing chords.

After I watched this video I remembered that I had an old Strat copy with a broken big E tuner so I took the string off and tuned it to open G to see how it would sound. It's a lot of fun ! You can't really play Keith's stuff properly if you don't tune to open G. I intend to leave it that way . Everyone who likes the Stones and plays guitar should try it

he took all the good riffs in open g bastard. absolutly love his style

Living legend.

what a gem! Truly open tuning is a gateway into another realm.

If you look at Keith through the lens of a rhythm player and not lead, there's a strong argument for him being in the top 3 of all time. Bo Diddley and Chuck berry being my other two. That being said it's all subjective depending on what your into.

Master Richards...🙏🏼 The musical knowledge, wisdom & experience possessed by this man is mind-blowing and humbling

Everyone always talks about Keef's open G tuning, but on stage, so many of the Stones' greatest tunes - "Tumbling Dice," "Happy," "Street Fighting Man," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," etc. - are actually played in open B because Keef places a capo on the 4th fret.

Finally someone else has realised it. KR, one of life's great bullshitters. He never stops! :)

Love 'Keef' He's such a character and a really great, down to earth musician.

Years ago I was replacing a busted low E string. As I was tightened up the new one, I plucked it to hear where it was, tonally. When I got to the low A tone----a fifth below the E "destination"----I stopped. Now, I had a low A note on my Spanish guitar. I played it a bit. The new, low A combined with the standard second string A to make a bass octave. And if I wanted to play it elsewhere, all I had to do was press those two strings down with my index finger on my fret hand. Now I had a fuller, richer overall sound. That was 27 years ago and I haven't gone back. I still tune this way. Try it.

I'm not sure but I think Keith is gradually turning into a living cigarette

What I would love is a good couple of hours' masterclass on 5 string open G acoustic blues. I'll buy it, I'll pay for it if you sell it online. Cheers for everything anyway, all the best.

He's a treasure.

Thanks, Keef ✌️

I'm so smitten with 5 string Open G since seeing a vid a week ago of "Keef" discussing it that I keep a second guitar now permanently tuned that way, and my standard tuned one has not been moved.

Creative genius 👏

"My finished paper will come out about the year 2050!" I wouldn't in the least be surprised to find Keef still around and rockin' by then either .

Yeah, the magic of open tunings , wow, can't be over emphasized. The cooler guitar sound usu. issues from an open tuning, I mean you get root chords w 'lots of extra stuff', a good guy to visit on this is Matt Smith for D'Addario strings, good lesson on you tube for the diatonic chords in open tunings, neat stuff, you can move across, well, check it out. I definitely became aware of open tunings through Keith , and Jimmy page way back when.

I have to Say that Keith Richards is one of the Best guitar players ever! I have so much respect for him. He is so funny that i would love to be able to play guitar and learn from him and overall hang out because he is smiling all the time and he is honest, humble and i hope that in My life i could be able to meet him and hang out with him. You are a Legend! And your historys are so awesome to listen to. I like that his first song that he learnt was Malagueña Lecuona" which it's My favorite flamenco song. Paco de Lucia used to play that song and it's impressive how good Guitar player was Paco de Lucia. Also My first song that i learned was Malagueña. Right on Keith ! I feel your good energy and i'm Proud of You and now since i started playing guitar in Open G tuning changed My perspective of the guitar world. I'm a really Big fan of You bro. I wish i could meet You.

The most lovable guy that smells of cigarettes.. His humility and that grin is so infectious and charismatic... who could not love this guy?

I read in the Premier Guitar (PG) 11/2018 issue that the songs Destiny Now and Pink Hearts Across the Sky played by Mr John Williamson is in Open G tuning. John was quoted there as stating Open G sounds like Keith Richards. I’ve begun to play this Open G tuning myself after reading lots and lots of stuff about Keith Richards using it. I also realize a 5-string banjo uses this tuning allot. Ive found chord progressions I’ve used are simple to play in this tuning (one guitar I’ve actually taken off the ‘fat 6th string like Keith does and in Open G it’s really great sounds minus the D tuned string coming from that guitar after doing that). Also finding (I think...) my melody playing is spaced out more on the fretboard so farther to reach to get let’s say a CMaj scale. If anyone knows a good online source where I can see lots of scales/boxes (and chords ok too) please reply here so I can check those links out. Today I found another lesson accompanied with a music sheet in PG magazine “Deep Cuts: Ry Cooder’s Funky Fingerstyle”. I believe Keith had credited Ry with turning Keith on to Open G. I’m dedicating a big chunk of my practice on Open G so any suggestions be much appreciated.

Oh Great KIng Richard IV!!!!!!

Nice cool video Keith!

Love you! :)

jeez keith, youre the man

anyone who doesnt love keith ? lol ! when he speaks you listen ! ( and i'm a jazz player but no problem ) !

In open G , how do you play the following chords smoithly in 6/8 time . Dm ,Faug, F, G7, Dm ,Dm6 and A7 on open G?

Cooooool dude

I play more likeable notes with 5 strings in open 'G'. Plus not as concerned with what others think , if i experiment with tuning. Well it easier for unexpected nice surprises, where you have to try and remember somehow what you just did. Still can't play a lot of Keith's riffs though. Jumping Jack Flash is fun, Paint it Black, sooooo many.

I would really like to know if the original studio version of “You can’t always get what you want” was played in open G or open E tuning. Thankyou!!!
