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.
