xThe Rolling Stones
Song: Empty Heart
Album: 12 X 5
Year: 1964
Guitarists: Keith Richards, Brian Jones
Tuning: Standard
I've never been crazy about this song. It's mostly just a jam with lots of improvised
and repeating parts. It's kind of hard to hear in spots and it's all over the place.
Because of that, I have just transcribed the main riff with the running solo throughout
the song. Really, that's all that's there. I can't say every note of the lead guitar
is perfect, but it's about as close as you can get. Just listen to the song and play
these leads over the riff. You'll get the idea. The lyrics are still transcribed
at the bottom, but the parts havn't been labeled as the whole song is the same.
