strawbfan, one tuning aspect, of the studio version at least, is the "nashville tuning" - off the top of my head i don't know the specifics, 'tho i could find them, but essentially it's a 6 - string guitar strung with a selection of strings from a twelve string set (christ!! i had to say "string" a lot)
as for the changes - well i'm sure if you follow the link's in voodoo chile's wonderland here you will find an answer (amongst a load of other really crazy shit and fantastic discoveries)

Nashville tuning is that you only take the six (high) octave strings ov a 12-string set. Tuning them means they are one octave higher than spanish tuning. Taylor does the Nashville tuning on Wild Horses (and not Keith as Mick mentions in the 40 licks booklet). Keith has his guitar tuned to open G.

There are three guitars in "Wild horses" (version on "Sticky fingers"):
1) a 12-string acoustic tuned to open G (DGDGBd) - this is the main acoustic throughout the song
2) a 6-string electric in standard tuning (EADGHe) - this is the one played by Mick Taylor
3) a 6-string acoustic in "Nashville" tuning (eadgBe) which starts the song off. After the intro it plays mainly the harmonics
You get "Nashville tuning" on a common 6-string guitar with standard tuning (EADGBe) by tuning the four lowest strings (EADG) one octave higher, the two highest strings remain unchanged. You shouldn't use your normal strings but buy the higher strings of a 12-string guitar to achieve this. So the gauges for your strings would maybe look like this:
.030 .020 .014 .010 .016 .012
SIT Strings offers a ready-made set for Nashville tuning (http://www.juststrings.com/sit-p1025nt.html) using the follwing gauges:
.025 .017 .012 .009 .014 .010
Nashville tuning, as it has no bass strings, produces an extremely bright sound (of course - and you always keep fearing them string will whip you to death)
Since I have described the "regular" Nashville tuning I might note there are some people like David Gilmour or Paul Simon have their "own" Nashville tunings. You can also experiment by only changing only the three lowest strings, for example. Gilmour changes only the low E. Simon changes only A, G and high E. |

This is incorrect. At the Muscle Shoals Keith playes a standard 6 string acoustic guitar tuned in open G. In an interview with Mick Taylor in 1979, Taylor says the following: �On �Wild Horses� I played one of Keith's Gibson acoustic guitars (the Gibson J-185, the one used at the R&R Circus and was stolen at the Altamont concert) in what they call a Nashville tuning. The guitar is tuned exactly the same way as regular tuning, but you use all first and second strings and you tune them in octaves. It's kind of like playing a 12-string guitar without the other six strings. That's the best way to describe it. I think I played a 12-string too. Keith played the electric solo on Wild Horses�.
The 12-string by Taylor was recorded during an overdub session in early 1970 at the Olympic studio. This guitar is in standard tuning, not open G.
During these overdub sessions at Olympic Studio's Keith added a fourth acoustic guitar in standard tuning and an electric lead guitar (various dubs). Billy Preston added organ with the already recorded tack piano by Jim Dickinson.

it would seem, perhaps, there s no "correct" answer
the editor of "guitar player" in a dec '89 article on keith says "The first two strings are strung normally, and the lower strings, replaced with smaller gauges , are strung an octave higher than normal; In another version only the G is replaced"
seems keith is a bit fuzzy on the exact details too (lol) -this from "guitar world" dec 88
gw: You got into nashville stringing...?
kr: Yeah yeah glad you reminded me...that slipped my mind. I love that stringing
gw: You don't use it on the new record (Talk is Cheap) do you?
kr: (Laughing) No! And if I'd remembered, we might have. I've gotta get back into that. Now all I've gotta do is remeber how the hell it's done
gw: Well, is it that you take a 12 string set and only use the high strings?
kr: It's something to that effect. You put...(thinks, shakes head, heaves a disgusted sigh) I've got to research it myself!
the fundamental idea it seems (except for that case of simply replacing the G" is to lose the bass on the 4th ,5th and 6th strings

Stonesmik explenation of Nashville tuning is correct:
>>>
You get "Nashville tuning" on a common 6-string guitar with standard tuning (EADGBe) by tuning the four lowest strings (EADG) one octave higher, the two highest strings remain unchanged. You shouldn't use your normal strings but buy the higher strings of a 12-string guitar to achieve this.
>>>
You could decide to also remove the high B en E strings and replace them with the thinner gauge of a 12-string set, but then you really have to ease your stroke as they will break too fast. Therefore you normally play with the normal E and B strings when tunes to Nashville tuning.
His thoughts on who played what on Wild Horses aren't correct, that's what I meant.

here's the whole enchilada from olga.org. there are MANY stones tunes listed there:
From: [email protected] ( Junacko)
The original version of this is 3 guitars.
Acoustic 1 ("Nashville tuning"- low 3 strings an octave up)
this is the one which starts the song off, there are no bass
strings which gives it that high sound. After the intro it
mainly plays harmonics
Acoustic 2 (Open G- D G D G B D)
this is the main acoustic throughout the song. If I get some
requests I will put this part down.
Electric 3 (Standard tuning)
this is Mick Taylor's classic backing and superb solo. If I get
_lots_ of requests I might summon the energy to tab the solo, if
I get hundreds I might even tab the whole part.
For now, I will just do CRD. Despite having 3 guitars on the original
recording, this one sounds surprisingly full with just 1 acoustic
(standard tuning) and voice.

In the third verse, you can replace the Am7 with an Am9. (Although
now that I listen to it, I think the ninth is actually coming from
the lead guitar. But it still sounds nice to use Am9 for a little
variety, especially with only one guitar)
I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections.

Wild Horses
by The Rolling Stones
transcription by: Ken Friedson and Ed Finegold
Intro:
There are two guitar parts at the intro.
The rhythm is the same as the verse,
the lead is built off of the Bm pentatonic, the notes are:
(fret/string)
10/1,8/1,7/1,5/1
Listen to it, it'll take about two seconds to figure it out.
Verse 1:
Bm G Bm G
I heard living ...
Am C D G D C
the pains you wanted...
note: the D and the last C are transitional chords, a quick
down-up-down-up and then change to the next chord
Bm G Bm G
Graceless lady, ...
Am C D G D
You know I can't let ...
Chorus:
Am C D G F C D
Wild Horses, ...
Am C D G F C
Wild Horses, ...
(again those D chords are transitional)
Verse 2:
Bm G Bm G
I watched you ...
Am C D G D C
Now you've decided, ...
Bm G Bm G
Those sweeping exits, ...
Am C D G D
could make me be bitter...
Chorus
Verse 3:
Bm G Bm G
I know I dreamed ...
Am C D G D C
I have my freedom, but ...
Bm G Bm G
Faith has been broke....
Am C D G D
Let's do some ...
Chorus
last line sung as:
Wild horses, I'm gonna ride them some day
Either fade it out or end with a: D(transitional) G
Note: A quick listen to the album will show you what I mean
about those transitional chords. Also, I did my best to
show where the changes fall, but as you play it you'll
get the nuances. Some of the changes just hang a bit longer
than others.

The intro is:
320033 (G major) X32033 (Cadd2) 320033 X32033
VERSE:
224432 (B min) 320033 (G) 224432 (Bmin) 320033 (G)
X02210 (A min) X32010 (C maj) 320033 (G) X00232 (Dmaj)

1330XX (F) X32010 (C)
BRIDGE:
There are like 3 acoustic tracks plus more electric here so you can play
just about any voicing of these chords and the notes are probably in there
somewhere.
Fmaj9 (X03010) Cmaj9 (X3001) X 4
the turnaround back into verse is (X320XX) (X540XX)
NOW for the 2nd guitar part during the CHORUS:
I'm going to butcher the time but listen carefully to the song and
you will get it. note the interesting syncopation though (tricky)
Play on high 2 strings:
Wild...
12-12-12-12| eighth note each 10-10-10-10 1 sixteenth note each
10-10-10-10| 12-12-12-12
Horses...
12--10-10-10-10 then 10-10-10-10 fast, 1 sixteenth each
10--12-12-12-12 12-12-12-12
Couldn't......AWAY
8---7-8---10--7-8---10--7--3--3--3--3-
