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

dude, those chords need re-naming they don't jive. your "e" is a "c" and so forth
I find it also works to just bar the E, B,
and C#m. It also sounds good, and
you can get that cool sliding effect
when your heart desires such.
this tab sucks. It doesn't even sound partially right!
I've been looking for this tab for years and finally found the right tab. It was a on the trufire site that examined the way k richards played alot of stones songs. Basically you start on the seventh fret with a B chord. When he plays it, it sounds like its not a bar chord but just a B chord on the bottom 4 strings. Pinch the B once, Then bar the d, g, and b srtings on the 9th fret to make an E chord. Then play the B again. He then slides up to the 9th fret and plays a C# minor and does a little hammer pulloff on the b string on the 9th and 10th fret. This sounds exactly right when I play along with the song. The chorus is just a regular E chord and an A. At the end of the chorus he slides the A(5the fret) up to the B(7the fret) and begins the intro again.
