Subject: HELP w/ Beast of Burden (stones)

Sender: news@galileo.cc.rochester.edu

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
