Keith Richards is famous for a trick most people never notice — he removes the thickest string from his guitar and plays with only five. Using open G tuning, that single missing string is the secret behind the Rolling Stones’ most iconic riffs, from Start Me Up to Brown Sugar and Honky Tonk Women. It’s one of the most legendary guitar techniques in rock history.

Would you ever play a guitar with a string missing?
