Kayriff I haven't had any luck finding a good one on the internet, but this Stones guitar tab book has a really good tab of Beast of Burden. http://www.amazon.com/Rolling-Stones-Guitar-Signature-Licks/dp/0793564379/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/104-8280647-8406301?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174424220&sr=8-2

texile are stones tabs even worth it?
keith doesn't do anything you can read....
i've tried to figure that song out since i started playing the guitar at 13.
it's some kind of slow hammer-on from a three-finger bar chord (maybe D), but your position is different..
doesn't make sense does it?
but it ALMOST sounds like it.
that repetive riff is one of keith's greatest, soulful gifts to mankind and only he can do it.

i think it also might have something to do with keith's guitar sound at the time..
he was using gibsons for some girls - and that sound is hard to duplicate because its so thick and heavy and full.

i can only TRY to do it on a tele through a marshall and still it sounds thin...

i didn't know he was using gibsons on some girls, i had wondered why i wasn't quite getting the full sound. unfortunatly for me with my limited funding i won't be getting a new guitar for a very long time. but i love my tele.

but those gibsons have something special....and i can't afford the real thing.

just from pictures during that period -
i don't think it was a les paul though....
still just a guess.
people always associate keith with teles -
but it wasn't until the 80s that they became his trademark...
in the 60s and 70s...you always saw a gibson strapped around his neck.

Badapple This isn't played in standard tuning, its in open G. I used to have it years ago, they printed how to play it in Total Guitar Magazine but i lost that issue and havent been able to find it since

sammy davis jr. Don't forget to put some phaser on it as well....that seemed to be the period he "discovered" the phase pedal.
