Dance Little Sister Tab by The Rolling Stones

Dance Little Sister tab by The Rolling Stones

Guitar Tab

Band: The Rolling Stones
Song: Dance Little Sister
Album: It's Only Rock and Roll
Year: 1974
Tuning: Keith in Open G - Mick Taylor in standard


This is a rockin' tune off of their '74 LP. Very simple rhythm seqeunce. Lot's of Mick
improvising in the verses.
Cool solo. I have divided the Keith and Taylor parts into different sections.

Keith:

Play this pattern throughout pretty much the whole song. Play the A Chord, then the E
E susepended chord sequence,
then back to the A chord. Very simple.

Verse

I don't think Mick Taylor plays the same thing twice throughout the whole song. Infact,
the whole song it just sounds
like he's improvising. Because of this, I'm not going to tab out every single thing he
I have however listed a few examples
of the kind of licks he plays during the verses/chorus. Just play around with these,
etc....that's all he did too.
