  • Use open G tuning -DGDGBD- that Keith uses on many Stones
    songs, e.g., Honky Tonk Woman, I Go Wild, etc. Drop the high E string
    to D, Drop the A string to G, and drop the low E string to D.
  •  
    The song is pretty easy to play once you get the tuning and the basic
    chord and rythym patterns down.

    Notes in parentheses are optional, but add a deeper, bluesy flavor,
    especially when slightly bent.
  •  
    At the end, when Mick is singing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, . . . woo!" go back and
    forth between G (open) and C (5th fret bar). (If you've gotten this far, you
  • will figure it out.)
