The Rolling Stones
Album: Let It Bleed
Song: Live With Me
Year: 1969
Guitarists: Keith Richards, Mick Taylor
Tuning: Standard
This song is one of my favorites off of the album. However, guitar is rather sparse on
it and it isn't difficult to play at all. As usual, the guitars never really play the
same thing twice so just play alot of variations on the notes given. When it comes to
the Rolling Stones, I can not stress that enough. The guitar line in "End 3" might not
seem fimiliar at first, as I had just noticed it the other day. It's right after the
second chorus before the sax solo in the left speaker. Since the opening bass line
really drives the verses, I have transcribed it for those interested at the bottom of
the tab.
