This is the Rolling Stones song Happy. Keef sings on this one and does so in his classic style.

I wanted to show a song played in Open G tuning. It’s the classic Stones sound. You can hear Open G guitars on great songs like Brown Sugar, Walk (Before They Make Me Run), Start Me Up, Honky Tonk Woman, Crazy Momma and others. Sheryl Crow uses it on her song If It Makes You Happy.

I love the tones I get from this Tele. It’s a Japanese 56′ re-issue, that my oldest friend gave to me for Christmas a few years ago. The bridge pickup was replaced last year with a Dimarzio Twang King which has done wonders for it’s sound. I have the selector all the way on the bridge and roll the tone control just short of halfway. Sounds fantastic.

Funny though, at about 56 seconds you see me start looking around the camera. The kitchen is behind the camera and I saw my cat jump on the counter and I was trying to make sure it wasn’t getting in to anything. LOL
