Boomer Guitar Sessions | Ep43 – Keith Richards’ 5 String Guitar
Welcome to Episode 43 of Boomer Guitar Sessions, titled "5 String Guitar." Today, we're going to dive into a fascinating chapter in the history of rock 'n' roll, celebrating a guitar, an innovation, a guitar player, and a tuning that changed the game. The guitar is a Telecaster. That guitar player is none other than Keith Richards. His innovation? Simplifying his guitar by discarding the low string, leaving us with a lean, mean, five-string machine. The tuning? Open G—those magical strings ringing out in G D G B D.
So, grab your guitar, dial in an open G tuning, and let’s explore how this setup can unleash your creativity. Get a drum beat going, experiment with those five strings, and don't forget to break out your slide—you’ll be channeling the spirit of the Stones in no time. Enjoy the process!!
