Learn 3 different ways how to play Gimme Shelter, as performed by the Rolling Stones from their 1969 album Let it Bleed.

The lesson covers 3 different ways you can approach this song to sound like the record, whether you are in Standard Tuning, Open G tuning, or Open E tuning. I believe the original recording was done in Open E, but you can also come really close to sounding like the record in all 3 of those tunings using the techniques I cover here. This time I don't go note for note on video across all riffs in all 3 tunings, rather I show you the chord shapes and positions where everything is happening - HOWEVER I DO have all of it tabbed out note for note for all 3 tunings for my patreon members.

Another excellent lesson on this song to check out is from ‪@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials‬ where he goes note for note across the riffs and chords that you can see in video form.
