If You Need Me - The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones Song: If You Need Me Album: 12 X 5 Year: 1964 Guitarists: Keith Richards Tuning: Standard This song is more structured than most of their other songs. Just follow the Fig. 1 pattern through all of the verses. There is only one guitar on this track. It almost sounds like the notes are being lightly palm muted, so you can play them like that or you can play them regular. However, the guitar tone is rather clean so don't overdo it. Let notes ring out on End 1, and pay attention to timing.
