That's a variation of the open G called "Nashville" tuning. The sixth string just doubles the fifth...so they just take it off. I believe that Gram taught him that one. |

Dear Essessy.....
isn't Nashville tuning the one which every string is tuned one octave higher, but all strings? I agree that the 6th tuned in D is one octave down of the 4th string. |

Yeah JJ that might be how it works. I swear the god, all I remember is that Keef plays with 5 strings when he's in Nashville tuning, and that his skin turned to chicken when Gram taught it to him. |

Nashville tuning is raising the low three strings an octave up. MT plays in Nashville tuning on acoustic in Wild Horses. Not sure how it may relate to open G tuning.

Ry Cooder helped him get a handle on the tuning, but I think Keith himself decided, later, to remove the low E string, as it got in the way of the root note in those open-G chord voicings.
Rich Robinson basically plays the Keith style, but by keeping the low E string on there, he does a lot more Zeppelin-y type things with the tuning. |

open g . He learned it from Ry. and ry was a bitch about it and talked shit. Called the Stones Reptillian.claimed keith rolled tapes during rehearsels, then stole his style. the top string came off on the 1970 tour. at least that's the first pics i noticed it from.
As far as the nashville / high strung tunin goes/ i think Keef learned it from someone from Don Rich's band way back in '65 possibly. though it wasn't prominent til '68 or early 69..
