Too make a story short, I want to play this tune in my "band" and I would like some opinions on how other people might play it... anyway here's what I have now: Beast Of Burden The Rolling Stones ---2-/-4--4------7---4----------5 ---3-/-5--5------7---5----------5 ---2-/-4--4------8---6----------6 -----------------9-------5-/-7--- That's the most important part of the song - the chorus is just standard straight up chords (I think) but I can't remember them at the moment. What I need help on is that the above doesn't sound thick enough - a bit too plain. Anyone play it differently? Also, as a method for playing in a band with one guitarist, would you just keep playing the riff over and over instead of soloing off in the song - since I can't do both at the same time, and since I am not that good, I'd think to play what the audience knows best: the above riff. Comments and suggestions are very welcome. Scott -- Life is easy when you're being kept afloat... Scott A. Rasche ...so I won't rock no boats.
