Welcome to day 4 of Play guitar like the Rolling Stones in 10 days with me, Andy Crowley. In this video we're looking at our first open e-tuning song which I've chosen to be Can't Always Get What You Want. This is primarily. An acoustic guitar tutorial, but electric guitarist, you can do all this same stuff, and there's even a bonus video on the website version of this course which shows you how to play over the ending of this in a standard tune-in uh for solos kind of free-flowing lead style. Of this one, but the focus of this video is really open e-tuning. I have done another video where we cover this song in standard tuning, which sounds very similar, but please persevere with this, please have a go at this, because once we can use a tuner to tune all our strings from standard tuning. To just an E major chord, we can do lots of really cool things that are. Quite simple We can even play. Lots of blues things and even the same sort of. Same sort of things we were doing in OpenG still work in OpenE tuning. We just need to literally move them all up a string to give you a skip to the end version. So grab your tuner and let's get your guitar in open E tuning, which I've chosen to do with this La guitar, which actually has some effects on it that I'll show you in a second. But it is a good idea. If you do this to leave the guitar in a certain tuning, which can be a reason why you can have many guitars like I do. Some, like this one, I've chosen to keep in a tuning so it kind of beds in and doesn't go out of tune as much, doesn't warp your neck, but it's something not to be scared of. I really want you to have a go at this, especially if it's your first time doing it. And super simple, thickest string isn't changed at all, that is an E. The A string needs to move up a whole step from standard to a B. As does String 4, which was a D note and that needs to be, as you can see here. And E major, I'll just move it to that line there. We then have the major note. In the E chord of a G, which is shown by that. Dot next to the G, you can see how the E here doesn't have the dot. That dot means that's a sharp. B Which you can see is pretty much in tune but just a little bit down. And then E. We'll put those notes on screen for you now. That means is you can just strum all six strings. And you're playing an E major chord, you can play where you're playing a chord as a bar, you can just bar with one finger, or indeed like it's quite common using two fingers together, especially as beginners, this can really build up that bar chord muscle, and that's fine with these open tunings cause that's all we need to do. This is at the 7th fret, and that's a B, so we have E. A and B. Which is well worth Having a strum about with. Another thing we can do in open e tuning. Is just strum basically a power chord, the thickest 3 strings and keep the rest ringing out, and if you can play a major scale on 1 string. Which is something we cover in my intermediate course, it's called the major scale formula. We can then use that. To play All The chords that we have in the key of E major, and even any like other chords like E. be And you can start to hear a couple of riffs there maybe, but it's all. It's a But it's all Jumping Gas, gas, gas And even And that's where That's where all this cool stuff starts to come in. So that's hopefully an open e-tuning now. And then what we need to do to play Can't Always Get What You Want. I'll cover more of that sort of stuff later in this course, by the way, but to play Can't Always Get What You Want, we need a capo, preferably an Andy guitar one, cos what's cooler than that, at the 8th fret, which makes that open Echord now. A C chord. Now anytime you put a capo on at all, always a really good idea just to check the tuning, and the tuner notes will have now all changed to, well, hey, a C. See that was quite sharp there. These are all the notes CEG are they only notes. In a C major chord. And this is how the signature intro is actually played on the Rolling Stones' classic song on the original recording of Can't Always Get What You Want, a little bit like this. And the only other thing that happens in the song really is doing in some way to play a D major chord, even at the. A second fret portion to the capo and then back to that kind of signature Keith Richards chord, which in this case is an F over C. It's an F chord. But with a C still, in the bass. So in many ways this is a four chord song. We have the middle finger. Plane essentially a C + 2. We have the sea chord Which is openly tuning with the capo, makes this a C chord, and F over C. Which is the signature. Keith Richards move And then 2nd fret bar, which you can use the middle finger supporting the 1st finger only in the chorus, but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need. So nothing scary, but it can be very new. So this is something that you're gonna have to experiment with a little bit. Highly recommend you do. It's a real gateway into all of this, uh, Rolling Stones style, especially opening up different tunings, not just OG, but it gets you better at the same time at OpenG tuning cos it's all the same shapes like this. And this. So the basic riff is middle finger down straight away. To open strings, and that's the 2nd fret of string 4. Do Down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up. There's a strumming pattern. Down, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up. And then we go to this F over C chord, literally like start me up. But down a string, so this is index, like an E7 chord really, like an E7 shape. But that is now an F over C. And that 2nd bar. That is open to middle finger as a hammer on. Pick open D. And you can even flick off back. Only other parts. Is if you try some time. You just The other thing that happens is right at the start of the song there's actually this little intro into it. Very subtle, but that is just 1st finger at the 1st fret, string 3. And the middle finger where we were before. And then it's all the same, so it's just. And let's see what that sounds like with some reverb on this, so I'm gonna press this button on my guitar. And that should That's a delay, hang on. And that. Gives me some reverb, not plugged in. Straight out of the guitar as well, straight out of the sound hole, it's kind of mad. There's other guitars or gizmos that offer this these days, but I wanted to try out one of these. I think that's pretty great. So that is how to play Can't Always Get What You Want. Click the link in the description or check out the website and at guitar.co.uk to look at the bonus video where we'll look at how to play some lead lines over this in standard tuning on electric guitar. Or when you're ready, get started straight away with day 5 where we'll be looking at another great Rolling Stones song. Back to some open chords and some more standard lead playing in that one. And we'll see you there. Bye bye.
