Excellent!! Love knowing about what I've always heard in this song, and wondering how they did it! It means a lot to me to be shown how! I can't believe I'm getting all this for free!!! I'm continually humbled by what you've given to us (so far) for the past 10 years, and you still continue, to this day!!! Thank You!!!!

Man you taught me so many songs! Your Stones sound is spot on👌Thanks JJ!🙏

I love you James its even more beautiful when u see it you unlock his genius for me

Genny cream ale. Takes me back to high school beer parties in the 70’s.

Excellent analysis and explanation, per usual.

He figured it out. God bless those ears of yours! Thank you ! That sounds exactly like the record man. Awesome job

You are really brilliant at analyzing these songs, and I know it is not easy.

Really great. I remember when this album was first released and thought I had a head start on learning how to play all the songs because they were all in the key of E or A. Those were the only chords I knew!

Good. Brian's last shining moment.

James has the best ear on You tube! The go to man when you know what you’ve been playing for 40 years isn’t quite right. Keith Richards and Jimmy Page probably follow James James to remember what they themselves originally did.

Awesome and thanks so much. I played the slide part with a buddy about 40 years ago. No idea how he did the rhythm. This is a great song and I will be practicing and singing along with it over the next week. Thanks for your inspiration!

I love these lessons, when you take us through your methodology of how you make your conclusions. Really interesting. I often put on the record and I can match your comments to what I’m hearing. Really enjoyable, even if I struggle to to play it myself. But I keep trying. Thanks JJ

U r absolutly right. It`s in standard tuning. Live, he always played it in standard t. Good work as always.

Your ability to pick out these unusual chord voicings is a great.gift you have. And are sharing with.guys like me who lack that ability. At almost 60 I have become a much better player with your great instructions. Thanks JJ

Hi James, from Brazil! It makes total sense, because the second chord with the high E is actually a Amaj7. Congratulations!!

Spot on!!! I love this song Thank you for another outstanding demo. Yours r the best!

You are a master. These are the nuances that people gloss over. You cant just strum the "cowboy" chords on this song. That harmonic isn't there. It's what makes Keith great. He plays it on "Rock and Roll Circus" another way. You have the closest to the album Ive heard.

late reply but this is what i love about james. he plays it right

Thx again for a killer tune my friend.😊🎶

U r my go too for authentic play. Ur ear is uncanny! Perfect Pitch thanks man!

Just great work! Thanks for all you do.

James...another excellent lesson again ! Thank you.

That is great the way you figured out those chord voiceings, You really are good. Thanks again!

Lonnng-time follower here. Thanks; this is my favorite vid yet! I was 17 when Beggar's Banquet came out. What an album that is.

It is standard and you nailed the chords. I bought the Hot Rocks Stones music book years ago that purports to have authentic chords and tab.

Perfect , wow , every stones lesson gives me a greater appreciation for keith, thanks

Thanks for the great lesson ... Just purchased a Hummingbird myself and of course am polishing up on my Stones songs. This way sounds great on mine as well!

Luv it! You the man! Thank you!!!

Thanks for the ideas, I will incorporate them. Love the lessons

Genny Cream Ale. Was on tap at the Marshall House (RIP) Boston, Mass for years. Thanks for the lessons!

Just watched a video of a live performance of this one probably early 90s, Mick's out front with acoustic, looks like Keith has 335 and Wood playing slide. Awesome performance, Keith and Ronnie doing the weaving

Cool tune, my friend and I play this, he plays the dobro

Thanks for the insights on figuring out which tuning the songs are in, quite interesting...

Brilliant !!!!

The storms will always Rock

loveit. thank you

Parachute woman just came to me one day but Grt Expctns didnt, so thanks.

Good lesson! He's using 2 guitars, and overdubbing. One in standard, the other in drop D. Listen to the 5 bottom notes before he plays the E chord at the end of the intro. There's a drop D note in that riff/fill. Hear it?

Awesome. That's one of the first songs I learnt by ear, just the open chords of course. But instead of the A with the B string open I used Esus4.

That intro E to A is VERY Moonlight Mile, I can see that riff inspiring MM

I wish we could hear the keith riff "Japanese thing" that jagger took moonlight mile from.. Would love to see how they got from point A to point B on that

If my memory serves me well, the version of this in Gimme Shelter is quite amazing. The imagery.

great sleuthing! think you got it

5:05 That note you don't know is a high G#!👍

He DOES know what it is. He said he didn’t know what CHORD it was. He later realises it’s an AM7 , and plays it with a different voicing!

Well last contribution that was actually worth something. He played a few things on the Let It Bleed album. But I will always say this is my favorite slide guitar on any song. It just encapsulates the whole song so well.

Great lesson dude

I think you got it...as usual.

This is great, Sounds amazing. What is the strumming pattern?

Definitely, you can see Keef playing in that position on the live version. Mick plays the straight chords, Ronnie playing slide parts.

Merci, thank you

thank you .........

How do you hit the G# on the high E while fingering an E major? I have large hands but can’t get my pinkie past the 3rd fret without my ring finger coming off the D string

Hello Jimmy James have not been here for awhile I really miss this sht

A long-delayed comment, I know, but I would respectfully suggest that this is not correct, even though it sounds good. The first two bars in the intro are played using this formation: 054670 (high to low). That very high E that you can hear is not produced by fretting the first string at 12, but is audible as a kind of harmonic phenomenon when this chord is formed. From the first two bars onward and for the rest of the song, it is played using the standard E and A chord configurations. That very high E is even slightly audible when E is played standard. I found it a bit hard to believe that a rock guitarist, especially Keith, would work himself that hard to form a chord if he didn't have to and I believe I was right.

I was watching the whole like usual and this is going to sound stupid but the opening E A the way it's played for this song reminds me of the opening for the song "Walk on the Wild side". Do you think Lou got that from this song? Great lesson as usual. Thank you.

Yeah A maj 7 at that one point.

Hi j I nice way to play the e chord on the fourth fret is this: Bar down the fourth fret but leave low e open Put index finger on 5th fret b string Put ring finger on 6th fret d string Put pinky on 7th fret A string Strum all 6 strings leaving low e open Hard but manageable...I thought that open e chord u hit with your pinky on the high e string 5th fret was insanity🤪

to me the chords are E and then ;Amaj7 nice work .song just verses no chorus just a dreamy line .

It's an Amaj7.

G E N I O

Nice shirt

A at 11? Mine only goes up to 10....

hi guys i'm french beginner and this is the best lesson i see on youtube but i don't understand all the chords, can someone do a summary? tanks!

KZread took it down.

I wish I had your hearing. I cannot distinguish notes. I can tell a side to side comparison that one is different from another. But I cannot tell you what note/chord it is.

How the hell are you able to get an open e chord with your pinky on the g# at the fourth fret, it is literally impossible for me to finger that

Keep practicing slow and repeditively and you will get it done.

Why did Keith have to write half their songs drunk or stoned? That chord is so unusual and funky to play.

Who even knows these songs but a guitar player.

That's completely different from the album version. At the Circus, they changed the key to A instead of E.
