Learn how to play You Can't Always Get What You Want, as performed by The Rolling Stones, released first as a single, and later on the Let it Bleed album in 1969.
The lesson covers Keith Richards' acoustic and electric parts, and I make my case for this being recorded in an Open E tuning capo'd at 8th fret - but I have a nuance that I also think may have been done - tune in to find out what that is.
Thanks to some other great channels out there who each have great lessons on this song too, each contributed a piece to help me arrive at my own conclusion on the tuning question. @JustinGuitarSongs @GuitarLessons365SongLessons @ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials @jonmaclennan
