I've never seen this posted - nor have I seen it in ftp.nevada...
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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ROLLING STONES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
