Here's how to play Tumbling Dice by The Rolling Stones! You can easily jam along to this song with just the 3 chords G, C & D (capo 4th fret)...or try out with the electric guitar, Keith Richards open G riffs from the intro to classic chords in that tuning.

Open G tuning - xGDGBD

In open G tuning, your low E string is tuned down a full step to a low D, or in the case of Keith Richards and this video - removed completely!

Your next highest string, A, will drop down a full step to G. Your D, G, and B strings will stay the same, while your high E string is lowered a full pitch to D.
