Do you know what you've done? Admitting that I may even be RIGHT will throw the universe off it's axis! Please, TAKE it back! Ok, enough nonsense.


Here is my orignal post: follow the link to guitar tabs!

===========================================================================

Here is real easy song to play in open "G" capo on the 5'th fret (so, your really playing a "C" chord). It only requires a couple of fingers and BARR with the index or middle. The chords are C (add 9) , F and D.

The trick is to play it in "syncopation" (sp?). I think Dave has discussed this in some of his lessons or I read it in guitar player magazine. As your strummimg hit the high E string on the upstroke, you'll be suprised how much depth it adds to the song.

Sorry, I don't know the strumming pattern? I have to go by what I hear.

If I can play it, you can play it! That much I know! Maybe someone more advanced can firgure out the licks. I didn't know how to convert it to an OPEN G?]]> Easy Songs clideguitar https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-the-rolling-stones/#post-134714 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-the-rolling-stones/#post-134653 Tue, 25 Oct 2005 14:28:32 +0000
I was wondering when the lyrics and chords would be posted by someone. Now I can have a proper go at it.

Cheers mate,

You can't always get what you want…Rolling Stones
Open G tuning (capo 5) D G D G B d
C: 000000 (000200 for add9)
F: 002010 or sometimes 002012 (occasionally hammering the 4th string - sometimes he'll quickly slide up to and back or just down from 004030
D: 222222


C F C F... C F I saw her today at the reception C F A glass of wine in her hand C F I knew she was gonna meet her connection C F At her feet was a footloose man Chorus: C F You can't always get what you want C F You can't always get what you want C F You can't always get what you want D But if you try sometimes, F You might find C F C F You get what you need... ahhhhhhh, yeah..... And so on. I hope this inspires someone to try it in open tuning - it does sounds very good.

HOWEVER there MUST be someone out there that can flesh it out a bit from the basic model - with a few fills and licks etc. Anyone care to try?

Cheers folks

Every Tuesday night, I go to an acoustic jam session in my local pub..."YCAGWYW" is one of those songs we play a lot, along with Wild Horses, Sweet Virginia, Dead Flowers and Angie....

I've never heard of anyone using a capo at the fifth, but if you give me some idea of the actual chord shapes you're playing, I'll get back to you on this one....

:D :D :D

Vic Vic, any idea where I can score Dead Flowers tab/chord?]]> Easy Songs rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-the-rolling-stones/#post-134613 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-the-rolling-stones/#post-132019 Wed, 12 Oct 2005 14:47:53 +0000 Easy Songs Maritimer https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-the-rolling-stones/#post-132019 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/you-cant-always-get-what-you-want-the-rolling-stones/#post-131996 Wed, 12 Oct 2005 09:47:32 +0000
I saw that a guitar magazine printed this song, they suggested a pattern like

beat 1 =D

beat 2 = D/u (shuffle-like)

beat 3= dd

beat 4 = dudu

In any case any pattern based on sixtheen notes which starts with a single one-quarter downstrum shoud work with it

1= D
2= D
3=du
4=udu

or similar so maybe you should try a similar pattern with this tune too
