The Stones opened with this tune for their 1989 Steel Wheels tour and the song is often used at the start of sports events to this date, making it a staple at sporting events.
#SIMPLE DELAY NOTE TUNINGS WINDOWS#
The rights to the tune were bought for 3 million$ by Microsoft in 1995 and the song was used for the launch of the Windows 95 advertisement. The song uses the classic Keith Richard’s open G tuning with the low 6th string clipped off with the bridge saddle removed and everything! The guitar tablature contains notation for just the top five strings. Legend says that the stones recorded about 38 takes of the reggae version of “start me up” but it was shelved for five years before it was turned into the rocker that you hear today. Peaking at the #2 spot on the billboards charts this single from the stones album “Tattoo You” was originally intended to be arranged as a reggae tune by Keith Richards. Tabs: See Start Me Up by The Rolling Stones Tabs Here Before you dive in and start riffing on this tune, keep in mind that it is the 2nd note of the riff that lands on the downbeat so you really need to start playing the “pick up” first note before beat 1 to get the rhythm right! Eventually, once you get the riff down with a flow, try adding in some melodic bluesy licks with the open G tuning higher up on the fretboard making for a great call and response between the riff and the licks for the interludes! So are you really b-b-b-b-bad to the bone?īad to the bone features in several movies including Terminator 2, Problem Child, The color of money, if you have seen plenty of bar fight scenes from the movies of the 80s until the 2000’s you have heard this tune before! You can slide between the 3rd and the 5th fret or bend the power chords a bit if you are not using the slide. There are a few nuances to it which you can bring in string 3rd and the 5th string to make it heavier and dirtier. The riff moves between the open, 3rd, and 5th fret, so it is fairly easy to get going with. The tune mostly stays on just one chord, the G chord, and pedals the same riff throughout making it perfect for beginners looking to rock out with the slide. The song is a classic early 80s blues-rock sound stage with great use of the slide.
Tabs: See Bad To The Bone by George Thorogood & The Destroyers Tabs Hereīased on the classic blues riff that is also featured on the Bo Diddley Blues songs such as “I’m A Man, this song has a driving shuffle rhythm with tons of attitude to it.
The chord changes involve the rocking chord part which in standard tuning it would look like a Dmin7 chord shape on the 5th fret but here it would be a Csus4 sound with which you can rock out in proper Black Crowes/Keith Richard fashion! Another song where you could just clip off the Low 6th string if you wanted to. This one focuses on the 5th string tuned to a low G and the 4th string mostly, it sounds heavier than you’d expect due to the dropped tuning and lots of the Open string usage. Having sold over 30 million records and being voted the best new American band in the year 1990 the comparison is not unfair, but all for the good really! Kings of blues-rock, The Black Crowes, a southern rock band from Georgia are often compared to the rolling stones for their use of open G tuning. Tabs: See Twice As Hard by The Black Crowes Tabs HereĪnytime someone plays or even mentions The Black Crowes it is hard to not hear the driving straight 8th note rhythm section with the crunched up guitars of this song in your head and you find yourself head bobbing to the chorus.
