While the Rolling Stones may be known for their hard rock songs…

If you’re gonna go “acoustic” this is how you do it.

Below I’m going to share a beautiful song featuring raspy vocals from Mick Jagger, and a soulful groove from the rest of the band. Including a beautiful 12-string guitar part I believe to be played in a mysterious open tuning with a partial capo.

Fear not though, if you want to stay in standard tuning, I am going to cover both.

So grab your guitar and let’s dive into this “Wild Horses” guitar lesson!

Who wrote Wild Horses?
"Wild Horses" was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the two principal songwriters in the English rock band The Rolling Stones.

The inspirations for "Wild Horses" have been somewhat debated. Mick Jagger has said the song is about his relationship with Marianne Faithfull, a singer and actress he was romantically involved with in the late 1960s. Faithfull herself has claimed that the phrase "wild horses couldn't drag me away" was something she said to Jagger when she was recovering from a coma after a drug overdose.

From the guitarist’s perspective, Keith Richards has mentioned the song also reflects his feelings about having to leave his newborn son, Marlon, to go on tour.

So between these tensions in the band's career and their personal lives. “Wild Horses” came about. It was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama in December 1969. The studio is known for its unique sound and has been the recording site for many famous musicians.
