(5.67a/IDA-1.5/LTU-1.0 for); Fri, 11 Mar 1994 01:24:00 +1000 id AA28919; Fri, 11 Mar 1994 01:23:56 +1000 Here is my rough attempt at tab for a Stones classic. The songs is in open G tuning (D G D G B D). If you want to really be Keith Richards-esque, remove the low D string completely.
First there is the opening riff as follows: D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----0------5----5--7----0----------------- B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----0------5----5--7----0----------------- G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0----------------- D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0----------------- G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0----------------- D -------------------------------------------------------------------- While I'm at it, I'll get all of the tab out of the way first. Here is the tab for the chorus parts: After All is ... D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----x------7------------------------------ B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----x------7------------------------------ G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------ D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----9------7------------------------------ G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------ D -------------------------------------------------------------------- I gotta move while ...

It is like hammering on the same chord position you would call in standard (concert) guitar tuning for A minor augmented. For a C position chord, the hammer on would go: D G D G B D D G D G B D C-chord 5 5 5 5 5 5 hammer on F-chord 5 5 7 5 6 5 If you can do this, you can play Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, etc. etc. etc...
