STREET FIGHTING MAN 1995 Jagger /Richards
I hear that this tune is still part of their 2002-2003 tour so I tabbed the 1995
version from their album STRIPPED. It is another easy tune to play once you've
tuned your guitar(s) in OPEN G like this from low to high : D G D G B D.
It is played agressively with two acoustic guitars whipping your strings as
if you wanted to punish your guitar. Except where noted ( at the end of the
chorus and in the finale) the 2 guitars play the same thing. I think that on
the record by the Stones you can hear them distinctly simply because Keith
Richards and Ron Wood are not in the same mood. Or is it Jagger that plays ?
I made a mp3 demo (2 Mb) which is available at the URL above. I was not
agressive enough in the demo so I simply added an electric guitar in the
background ! The demo comes with drums and bass ( which is implicit so I
did not tab it).
CAPO on the 4th fret !
The frets are counted from the capo
Legend :
h : hammer-on
