Jumpin Jack Flash Video

☆"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones, released as a single in 1968. Called "supernatural Delta blues by way of Swinging London" by Rolling Stone,[1] the song is seen as the band's return to their blues roots after the psychedelia of their preceding albums Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request.[2] One of the group's most popular and recognizable songs, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" has been featured in many films and on the Rolling Stones compilation albums Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2), Hot Rocks, Singles Collection and Forty Licks . ☆Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, recording on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" began during the Beggars Banquet sessions of 1968 (although it was not released on that album). Regarding the song's distinctive sound, guitarist Richards has said: I used a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic tuned to open D, six string. Open D or open E, which is the same thing - same intervals - but it would be slackened down some for D. Then there was a capo on it, to get that really tight sound. And there was another guitar over the top of that, but tuned to Nashville tuning. I learned that from somebody in George Jones' band in San Antonio in 1964. The high-strung guitar was an acoustic, too. Both acoustics were put through a Philips cassette recorder. Just jam the mic right in the guitar and play it back through an extension speaker.[3] Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while <b>...</b>

NOTE: At 4:48 for some reason I say the last chord in the progression is A when it should be a B. Please be aware of this error! Apologies for the confusion. This Part 1 video shows how I think the studio recording of Jumpin Jack Flash is played. The studio recording and how Keith Richards has played it live are two COMPLETELY different techniques. You may find many many tabs on how Keith has played it on the studio recording but I've never been satisfied with any of those tabs. This is how I've played it myself and I think it is close to the original. With that in mind...this is NOT the official version on how Keith played it originally. Normally I wouldn't post it but I feel strongly about the results and feel good about it. Guitar: Standard Tuning I've tuned the guitar slightly flat to match the studio recording.
