Jumpin Jack Flash, Rolling Stones, guitar lesson, Guitar Riffs Played Right, how to play it right

Jumpin Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones, dissected by Dr. G, on Guitar Riffs Played Right. Dr. G has created a YouTube channel dedicated to teaching little known secrets about particular guitar tunings and techniques used by the song's originators, that are needed to make the song sound like the record. This video is an easy to understand lesson on the studio version of Jumpin Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones. The content found here is backed by information from Keith Richards, found on the internet, which validates the teaching points. (See the link at the end of the video*.) Dr. G's philosophy is, "not only does it sound better when you play it right, but its easier to play too". In addition to the special tuning described in the video, Keith puts the capo on the second fret to make the strings "tighter", giving the chords better attack, which gives the song power. Keith said he wanted to make those first chords sound like a metal pipe hitting a chain link fence. The Nashville tuning helps give the chords that extra brightness and attack. One way to create the Nashville tuning is to take the lower octave strings off of a 12 string guitar, and then take one of the doubled B and E strings off as well. Please refer to internet articles for other ways to create Nashville tuning.
