Subject: HELP w/ Beast of Burden (stones)
I've never seen this posted - nor have I seen it in ftp.nevada...
Too make a story short, I want to play this tune in my "band" and I would
like some opinions on how other people might play it... anyway here's what
I have now:
Beast Of Burden The Rolling Stones
---2-/-4--4------7---4----------5
---3-/-5--5------7---5----------5
---2-/-4--4------8---6----------6
-----------------9-------5-/-7---
That's the most important part of the song - the chorus is just standard
straight up chords (I think) but I can't remember them at the moment.
What I need help on is that the above doesn't sound thick enough - a bit too
plain. Anyone play it differently?
Also, as a method for playing in a band with one guitarist, would you just
keep playing the riff over and over instead of soloing off in the song -
since I can't do both at the same time, and since I am not that good, I'd
think to play what the audience knows best: the above riff.
Comments and suggestions are very welcome.
Scott
