_ [E] Hey what's up you guys, Marty Schwartz here with Marty Music.
We're gonna learn the Rolling Stones
Beast of Burden right now.
If you haven't yet I appreciate you subscribing here to the Marty
Music YouTube channel and then also if you're trying to get deeper into learning guitar I have
free courses at my website that I think will help you so check those links down below.
Let's get to
it.
Alright so I did some research and this uh what I have found is that this is actually a Keith
Richard standard tuning riff.
So I'm going to teach it to you in standard tuning.
I'm sure it
can be done in Open G as well but we'll do standard tuning and I think one of the tricks of this riff
it's really a chordal riff but if you just knew the basic bar chords first I think it really helps
with the riff part.
So _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ that's E [E] major and I'm playing this A shaped bar chord _ _ _ _ so seventh fret
A string _ _ [B] _ _
_ then to [E] B major _ _ [B] _ _
then [C#m] up a whole step minor so that would be C sharp minor
_ but the final chord is actually A major.
[A] _ _ [E] _ E, _ [B] E, [C#m] C sharp minor, A.
[E] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So you're gonna want to form [B] _
a B major bar chord but really we're gonna just play the upper register
of it and
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] you have to be able to hammer on your so you're playing so [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
I'm holding that shape I play
this little triad [E] and then I flatten my ring finger across [B] the it's already on the D string but I
flatten it across the G and B on that ninth fret [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ and then on the upbeat it goes back to B.
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
Then it's the C sharp minor but I'm just playing this little triad so _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that's 11th fret and then
9th fret across the B and G or just barring it across _ _ [E] but there's this great inversion of A
major in the same spot [A] it _ _ _ would also look a lot like F sharp minor 7 but it's over an A note _ _ _ _
so that's 11th fret on the D string I'm barring still you know that's still there from the chord
before so _ _ _ _ _ [B] now I'm hammering that D string [A] and _ I'm adding that middle finger to the 10th fret B
_ _ [B] and my ring finger I can kind of track to go back down to the 9th fret [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ it's like [E] and one
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ now on the very first one [E] _ _ _ _ [A] you know [B] there's some of that [E] so _ _ [B] _ _
[E] [B] if you want to nail that first one I
[E] would hammer [Bm] down down and then a scratch so [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ the scratch is on the down and then the up is back to
that B [E] and _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ that ring finger can track right to the 11 that's barred across _ then you stab that
chord then hammer that D string _ [A]
and you add the middle finger delayed _ so _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ then there's the B
section so for the change what I would play since there's more than one guitar going on in the
arrangement it's an A chord and _
[E] _ then an E major back _
[A] to A major E [E] major then [B] B major a _ _
[E] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _ couple
things though you can add for the A major you can relax that B and high E string _ [E] and _ _ _ then for the
E major you could play the E bar chord I mean I'm sorry the E power chord and _ _ let that B and high E
ring out for that too so
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ and on that B chord you _ can let those the open B and high E ring out too
_ just to add a little a bit of that flavor [E] all _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
