The Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash (Beginner + Open G Tuning)

Learn to play the classic song Jumpin' Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones! This lesson contains two tutorials for this song, the first is a beginner friendly version in standard tuning where I demo how we can play this song with simple chords and even play it even on acoustic guitar.

See a Keith Richards style open G tuning version of this song further down this page.

Open G tuning is (strings 6 to 1 - x means this string is not played, Keith takes his string 6 off!);

X - G - D - G - B - D

To do this, you'll need a tuner that shows any note name (some tuners only work for standard tuning). After this initial setup, everything is quite easy to play - give it a go!
