Why do the most simplest riffs sound the best?😊

[narcissist]

Keith actually tunes open g then he transitions from 5th fret to 3rd and continues with the same hammer on for the bluesy riff, I think it sound better than the pinky!! But whatever, , each to their own. Sounds great man!

Boa noite parabéns linda música obrigado que Deus abençoe sempre sua vida 🙏🙏🙏

[elduderino]

This is for to get close on standard tuning.
Doesn't matter if you talked the 6th string off, but it's sounds weird because you're not in open g

"Start Me Up" was released in 1980 long after the British Invasion years of the 1960's but still has that early Stones feel to it. Keith Richards was no showboat of a guitarist but when the perfect riff was needed he'd provide it.

That's a Harley Benton TE-70 paisley tele he's playing.

[Vreejack]

Removes his bottom E and open G tuning

[DanielMorales-dznv]

Un riff sencillo requiere un ritmo sencillo de batería. Ese es el caso de ac/dc.

[laprincipita]

Me parece que las graves van un tono abajo no?

[MrMonkey]

Just play it on open G and use 5 string guitar😊

[fatssalvador]

You have one string too many on that there telecaster

Keith usually uses open G, but he could play it like this if he was using someone else's guitar.
