Start Me Up by The Rolling Stones: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones features Keith Richards playing a classic open G-tuned guitar riff that drives the song. Bill Wyman's bassline provides a solid foundation, while Charlie Watts' drumming adds a steady groove. The song was originally recorded during the "Tattoo You" sessions in 1978, but wasn't released until 1981. Richards achieved the distinctive sound by using a MXR Distortion+ pedal for his guitar tone.
