No Expectations (Lesson) - Rolling Stones

[Nicholas-dreamlove]

I have learned so much from just watching you overrthe last 12 months or so, James, it's almost like a free lesson lol.

[jonncotton]

Excellent!! Love knowing about what I've always heard in this song, and wondering how they did it! It means a lot to me to be shown how! I can't believe I'm getting all this for free!!! I'm continually humbled by what you've given to us (so far) for the past 10 years, and you still continue, to this day!!! Thank You!!!!

Genny cream ale. Takes me back to high school beer parties in the 70’s.

[Viajealduende]

James has the best ear on You tube! The go to man when you know what you’ve been playing for 40 years isn’t quite right. Keith Richards and Jimmy Page probably follow James James to remember what they themselves originally did.

[kendraznik]

Excellent analysis and explanation, per usual.

[briancorcoran]

He figured it out. God bless those ears of yours! Thank you ! That sounds exactly like the record man. Awesome job

[douglasleon]

I love you James its even more beautiful when u see it you unlock his genius for me

[philfrank]

U r absolutly right. It`s in standard tuning. Live, he always played it in standard t. Good work as always.

[markrollof]

Man you taught me so many songs! Your Stones sound is spot on👌Thanks JJ!🙏

[daveg]

You are really brilliant at analyzing these songs, and I know it is not easy.

[batpatrol]

Really great. I remember when this album was first released and thought I had a head start on learning how to play all the songs because they were all in the key of E or A. Those were the only chords I knew!

[antonioaugusto]

Hi James, from Brazil! It makes total sense, because the second chord with the high E is actually a Amaj7. Congratulations!!

[jamesmaxwell]

Awesome and thanks so much. I played the slide part with a buddy about 40 years ago. No idea how he did the rhythm. This is a great song and I will be practicing and singing along with it over the next week. Thanks for your inspiration!

[charlesschwartz]

I love these lessons, when you take us through your methodology of how you make your conclusions. Really interesting. I often put on the record and I can match your comments to what I’m hearing. Really enjoyable, even if I struggle to to play it myself. But I keep trying. Thanks JJ

[alkitzman]

Your ability to pick out these unusual chord voicings is a great.gift you have. And are sharing with.guys like me who lack that ability. At almost 60 I have become a much better player with your great instructions. Thanks JJ

[derickcarneiro]

James...another excellent lesson again ! Thank you.

[PreacherAtArrakeen]

Good. Brian's last shining moment.

[guitarjesus]

Spot on!!! I love this song Thank you for another outstanding demo. Yours r the best!

[rodney]

U r my go too for authentic play. Ur ear is uncanny! Perfect Pitch thanks man!

[mojotabledancers]

Great video. I love how the Stones use 3 or 4 basic chords in their songs, or so it seems, but when you dig a little deeper and it's so much more creative than just the basics!
