I believe Keith did this in open E (capoed to F), but Ive tuned to open D (same thing, just tuned lower: DADF#AD) and capoed up a little higher. I just didnt want to break my G string tuning it up. This guitar isnt set up for slide, so its a little metallic-sounding on the frets. Wish I had a dobro to get the right tone!

    thanks for your great job – very helpful. good to see that coming back on the stones, after a couple of years playing other things, there are cracks like you showing me again (and reminding me of) the essential things.

    I learned and perfected this song in open D as per your video. I then changed to open E. It makes a world of difference. It sounds much better in open E. The string tension is better for slide playing, too.

    The original version (Let It Bleed) is in open D tuning (DADF#AD) with the capo at the third postion. The whole song is basically two chords F and Bb. Hey (F) Babe, what’s in your eyes. I saw them (Bb) flashing like airplane (F) lights. You fill my (Bb) cup babe, that’s for (F) sure. But I must come (Bb) back, for a little more…(turnaround)…You got my (F) heart, you got my soul. You got the (Bb) silver, you got the (F) gold…repeat same chords for all verses.

    I do third. But I’m not sure if Keith does it on the second or third, depending on how high/low he tuned.

    Cool…I had figured out parts of this, but not the whole thing. So thanks for filling in the blanks. And I understand the tuning concerns. I use an old acoustic (68 Framus) with heavier strings for E tuned slide. That way there’s no concern about broken strings or warped necks/tops.
