www.georgegoodman.com Get the Harmonica and Holder here: www.georgegoodman.com Hi, George here. Welcome to this video where I show you how I play You Cant Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones on guitar and harmonica. Ok, were going to through the tuning. Its not standard tuning, its open G tuning so well go through that. Then well go through the chords, strumming pattern, harmonica part that I play, and then well run through it – jam through it and Ill put up the chords so that you can follow along. So, lets start off with the tuning. Youre standard tuning is EADGB E. Youre 6th string up here would be E, then ADGB E. Well thats not what weve got. The 6th string is tuned down a full step to D. Then our 5th string is tuned down to a G. Its dropped from an A to a G. Our 4th string stays D. That now matches our 6th string. Our 3rd string stays G and that matches our 5th string now. The 2nd string stays B and our 1st string is lowered to D. So that D matches our 4th and 6th strings. Ok, so thats open G tuning. Once you have that tuned you can strum an open G chord. Ok, so thats the tuning. Mostly, theres just two chords in the song – G and we have a C. Its actually Cadd9. Thats a C chord and thats a D. So we have a D in a C chord, not usually. Thats C and adding the 9th so thats Cadd9. When were playing this, were also playing the Gadd9 as well. So lets do that. Lets play the first part. What were doing is we are starting with the Gadd9 <b>…<b>

  4. I agree. I believe I make mention to that in the video that to play along with the version from Let It Bleed you need to put the capo on the 5th fret.

  5. Best way I found to play this was in open G but with a capo in the 5th fret.
