>music for Gimme Shelter?



No, but here's a recipe -- I got this out of an interview with Keef in

Guitarist a couple of years back:



    take one Fender Telecaster

    tune to open E (E B E G# B E)

    the intro and chorus use C#-B-A-E (9th, 7th, 5th, open)

    the verse uses C# (9th fret) and F# (basically, move your

        fingers around the 11th and 12th frets)



Listen to it a few times and maybe you'll get a feel for it. But the

open tuning is essential.



    --Rick.
