Hey y'all
[B] Let's try to bust another [Ab] myth in [D] the in Rolling Stones lore
[N] That this one being that Factory Girl is in an open tuning because it's on Beggar's Banquet and there's there's open
D all over that I think there might be some opening to
He [D] was definitely using open tunings then not G yet, but definitely
D and or E and
So a lot of people think this is one [Eb] of those that's in an open [D] tuning, but it's not
And let's let's prove
So it's in I think [Abm] this is a little [E] bit lower than [Em] a
[E] little lower than standard pitch, but this is your E
[Em] [N] But it's it's in the he plays it with D fingerings whether that's the actual key of D.
I don't know [D] probably
It goes like this.
I
[A] [D] mean, that's [N] that's the whole song really
In ten seconds and and you can see how
[B] Logical it is.
He's hammering on
every finger of a D [D] chord
[Bm] [G] [D]
[A] down to a
[D] So
[A] [D] [N] that that's the tune right there
It doesn't go anywhere else from that right so you can play that fairly simply and you know
[D] But what if we have it this one I tuned to?
D open D
So [A] you got it
[D]
[A] So first off you you want that first note of it to be hammered on just [Bb] like he does
[Dm]
[B] So how do you do [D] I
[Abm] Wouldn't even know how to begin [D] how to do it I
mean [Bm] [D]
[A]
[B] [A] [D] [Eb]
think of it look
[N] Listen how crappy that's
And also how illogical
With your fretting hand, you know picture Keith sitting there
In his basement, you know hungover
With a cigarette.
[D] Do you think he's gonna do this?
[A] [Eb] No, he's gonna pick up a guitar
He's gonna be messing [D] around in D.
[G] [D] I
[A] [D] [A]
[D] [Eb] Mean it it [Cm] obviously was written that way, you know, so if you ever [N] are in doubt
I'm certain I'm 100% certain
Everybody on that, um, you know on the PT channel videos who said oh it's in you're wrong
It's an over D.
I guarantee you not one single one of them ever tried to play it in
standard tuning or in
Open D, you know, I'm sure they just said well, that's that's an open tuning album everything on it
And they didn't actually try to play it because when they try to play it, it's so [D] exceedingly obvious
[G] That he's doing it in a standard tuning, you know, maybe not standard pitch
Oh, there's a little asterisk [D] next to that, but but it is done with with a D finger, you know
[B] so you can try to your heart's content to play it in open D and
If anyone managed to do that and have it sound anything close to what Keith was doing
I'll be so thoroughly [E] impressed, but I
Don't think I'm under any threat [G] of being impressed.
So good luck with it and [Gm] mess around with it and
[Ab] See if you can get
