The acoustic guitar part was played by Keith Richards. It was only when I was researching this song that I discovered that it was written by Robert Johnson, the old blues guitarist that also wrote Crossroads. I always thought it was Mick and Keith! In my humble opinion, this is one of their best songs, and the guitar playing in the intro and first verse/chorus is absolutely perfect. The original was just a straight 12 bar, but Keith added the E minor chord, and the D7/F# which adds so much to the feel of the song. This is another great example of how you don’t need to be complicated to be good. Yeah, it’s just D, C and G chords, but the way it’s put together is where the genius lies. That lick in the intro is so good! Once you learn it, you’ll want to play it all day long! I had a lot of fun learning the song and recording the demo. I hope you enjoy the video and playing this great tune. I get a lot of questions about my sound so here's what I'm using: The guitar I'm playing here is a Taylor 214ce koa deluxe. I really like this guitar, it intonates amazingly well and it's tone is very balanced. It's also very easy to play. The strings are Elixir phosphor bronze 12-53 with nanoweb coating. These strings are a little bit more expensive, but for me they easily last 4-5 times longer than non-coated strings. Folks may be surprised at how much time and effort goes into creating these videos. If you're getting something out of the lessons and can afford to contribute, I've setup a Paypal link.
