Chords for Open G tuning guitar lesson. Keith Richards style chords. Brown Sugar

_ _ _ _ Hi everyone, I'm Jay Stevens from www.iwantarock.ca _ _
Today quick easy lesson on the Keith Richard style open G tuning and some of the chords use I'm gonna blow through this really quick
I'm not gonna hit any specific songs
But just some of the chord shapes he uses it and [E] from there you can figure out stuff really easy
First of all [Eb] open G tuning.
I've got my little down electro here strung up five string open G tuning
So basically throw away the top string
[B] The tuning is G
[D] D
_ [G] G B D
That's G on the top [Eb] a D another G B and D and what that [G] gives us is an open G major chord _ _ _
_ _ So so major [F] chords can be formed across the neck one finger
I'm looking for a 1 4 or 5 [Ab] pattern for most blues songs or [G] most songs in general Open
[C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ Open G, [F] of course used by Keith Richards on almost everything nowadays
but also favored by [B] Jimmy Page uses uses open G as [Bb] well as _
George [G] Thurgood uses
_ _ _ You know that sort of thing
_ George Thurgood mainly the one finger style with a slide
_ So hitting on the Keith Richards type chords, of course, we've got
That [C] would be one of them _ _ _
_ [G] [N] the one finger across all the strings _
The other one you need to know for for this is that [G] that rhythm _
_ _ _ _ That'll [C] rock and roll rhythm in [G] open G tuning if [C] I would play this at the fifth fret
I'll zoom closer so you can see it.
I'm playing the top two strings
even the top three if I want and [G] then
_ The next string down which is our D string
Two frets up just like a power chord shape basically
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ That's your standard [G] rock and roll pattern normally like in the open shape
It would be [Eb] two and four, you know in normal [C] tuning in the barred form _ _ _
_ _ _ So that's a really important rip because that's most of your rhythms going to be that _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] That sort of stuff so that's you know chord shape [C] number one is the [B] one finger
[A] The next one would be adding that to it to give us our rock and roll patterns
_ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ So uses of that [G] sort of that sort of rhythm as well as lots of lots of players use that rhythm
That sort of thing that old standard, you know, [D] so the next chord you need to know is _ _ _ _
Adding this note to it our B string
So again, I'm gonna borrow across all the strings and of course you could do it [C] open if you wanted
But I'm here at the fifth fret and then I'm gonna [B] add the [Cm] sixth fret on the B string.
Hope you can see that
So I've got one finger and then [C] this one _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So
You can use that _ it's _ basically a sus chord you're making it up _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] So sometimes he'll noodle around with that Keith Richards.
I'm talking about
Adding that B string to it and [F] then sometimes he can add the G string two frets up from our bar
So if I'm borrowed across the fifth
G string here, which are the third string up two frets up, but [C] the seventh _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ Another good sus seems like Keith Richards really fell in love with all these sus chord shapes
_ so like that sort of shape you can do like _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ The last chord I just ended on is the another sus chord
_ [C] It's actually an add 9 chord
So you borrow across and we're basically going to combine the extra notes that we [Ab] added we added that
[G] second string one fret higher than your bar and
_ the note that we added earlier on our D string from the _
That rhythm so two frets up on the D string from your bar one fret [F] up
On the B string from your bar and you've got that chord shape
[C] _ _ [F] _ So notice there's a string separating the two.
I've [G] got D string skip a string B string and
The best practice you can do with this is just doing that
Getting used to hitting both those strings and not the ones that are right next to each other
But skipping that string [C] in the middle
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ And right away even just strumming that you can start to hear that Keith Richards type stuff
_ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [A] _ So the _ [G] speaking of the brown sugar riff that little bridge riff or whatever you want to call it [Eb] that second part _
_ _ _ [D] is
One of [F] those that I talked about just a little bit earlier
Noodling around with adding the third [Abm] string in a lot of people play it like the same old three finger
Chord that I just was talking about but Keith Richards plays that [F] brown sugar riff
_ Adding third string [Eb] G two frets up from the bar _ _ _
_ [C] _ The fret adding the two finger _ [G] adding the two fingers to it on [C] the D string and the [Eb] beat so it's _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
So just that that shape [Am] add those two [Dm] fingers skipping that string in the middle
_ _ Hopefully you can get a good shot there
_ _ _ [G] Or adding just this one or just [Eb] this one or just this one that's basically the main shapes
What's that four shapes you got one add that [Gm] add that [B]
add that
_ [F] or that
_ some combination of those
[G] And you can play pretty much any stone songs.
I've noticed even stone songs that weren't written open G
I've seen live footage that Keith is playing them in open G now like case in point that can't always get what you [C] want _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
That sort of thing so give it a shot the best thing you can do is just start moving around
But I said the practice [F] you need is doing that
_ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ Now there, I'm just goofing around and they [D] stone songs there to pop out so give that a shot those couple fingers
[G] _
And [G] move the bar around to remember you're in open G
Once again is G at the top then a D G B D
If you're using a six string you would have a [N] top string here.
That would be a D
So you basically drop this to D and then go D G D G B D
The reason you get rid of the D on [F] top is because it makes the this string now your root at G
Leaving a six string setup.
You'd [G] have a D on top which is not your root.
It kind of gets confusing _
So throw it take it off throw it away
_ [C] All right, so I'll leave you with that for now
_ You got any questions shoot me an email send me a comment
Hopefully this was just a quick and easy one.
I'm not like I said
I'm not specifically [N] talking about any riffs the main idea is moving it around start getting those two fingers going and
Experiment and come up with your own stuff
_ Open G probably the next open GL do will be some some [C] Zeppelin _ possibly some [Bb] slide
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [N] sort of stuff
