Before They Make Me Run (Lesson) - Rolling Stones

[stevejanowiak]

Some Girls is one of the raunchiest albums ever! Keith’s guitar sound on it perfectly encapsulates the grime and debauchery of 1978! Love it!

Before They Make Me Run is high on my all time top ten Rock n Roll songs.

[ProSimex]

This song helped me quit drinking for a solid month, the longest time sober for a decade, I relapsed, but it still helped. I'm due for another break. Will are to put this on replay again.

[ST-xggy]

People assume Keith's open tunings made life easier for him, I would argue more complicated after viewing many of these Keith break downs. All relative. So much nuance. Keith was and is great.

[Jumpinjackflash]

Keef the riffmaster did it again. Cant love him enough.

I remember when Keith got busted for Heroin possession after their gig at the El Mocambo in Toronto - where they recorded half of the Love You Live album. Around the same time the Prime Minister's wife ran off to New York with Ronnie Wood and the rest of the band. Great tune, thanks for the lesson.

Great bit in Life on this song, Keith mentions that nobody liked this song and he was in the studio for five days straight, "without a wink of sleep" working on it. I can see it when you share with us the mechanics of the song--it's not an obvious set of changes. But It's a gem. Thanks for another great lesson.

Great álbum and tune.For Stones fans the most significative period was 1969-1972 four albums, but Some Girls is on the top list, just brilliant.There is so many great guitarist in the history of R&R, but the work that Keith and Ronnie did with Some Girls is a másterpiece.

Shoulders look like they’ve healed up well! One of my favorite songs let alone a all time favorite album! Thx James

[JenkinsBoatWorks]

absolutely my favorite Keith tune. The lyrics are so great and the riff. damn! You nailed it brother. thanks

[GaryBook]

Always good to get any Keith Open G songs.

[JenkinsBoatWorks]

just saw him play this at Thunder Ridge, last Sunday night. what a treat

[LightningDogg]

Great job. One of my favorite Stones songs. I assume this is mostly a Keith song since he sings it. This one doesn't get much play. All the hits have been played to death.

[darrendocherty]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this tune. One of my favorites and I’ve struggled trying to learn the intro. Great lesson!

[Jay-jmhd]

Thank you. That was awesome. Another great lesson. Much appreciated.

hey all: 9-9-9-8 is indeed an Em, but that's often a difficult chord change. however 9-9-12 is also an Em, yet it's a much easier change. i'm no genius - i picked this up from the 'some girls' tab book and also ultimate-guitar.com. so do make note for future reference: 9-9-9-8 = 9-9-12. 5-5-5-4 = 5-5-8. x-x-x-(x-1) = x-x-(x+3).. i believe you may find this very handy when doing quick changes to a minor chord in open G.

try it for the intro: 12-12-12-12-12 d
12-12-12-12-12 u
12-14-12-13-12 d
12-12-12-12-12 u

9-9-12 d

0-0-0 d
/5/5/5 d

5-5-5 d
7-7-7 d
0-0-0-3 d

for the verse: 10-10-10-10-10
10-10-10-10-10
9-9-12
9-9-12

5-5-5-5-5

5-7-5-6-5
5-5-5-5-5
5-5-5-5-5

ok - i hope that looks ok across youtube platforms. if it's a jumbled disaster perhaps someone can fix. i can assure you that this sounds great when played properly - and it totally eliminates the difficult chord change or needing to just play power chords for minors in open G. hope it helps, cheers!

James can you please cover Hackney Diamonds album? please great playing, keep on rolling.

I'm loving your channel. Just found it for Stones tunes and "Happy" to see lots of others I love, ..Beatles, etc.
At 0:35 and 1:09, I'm assuming there might be a glitch. I think its the am7 shaped Keith chord that's supposed to be, instead of the single 7th fret full bar you show. I hear it as the cowboy "Am7 shape" at the 7th fret. He might switch it around and do the single bar at 9th fret, too, ... more so at out-tro. He might have just winged different interpretations of which chord to hit, as his fingers moved him. Shit if i know.
But its great to find this channel with good Keith interpretations. Thanks.

My favourite album from the Woody years.

Some Girls was my first stones album. 7th grade. I always considered it their answer to punk rock. Even wasn’t had its moments and attitude
