The Rolling Stones Shattered Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

From Marty Music.

Strumming through this Rolling Stones classic might leave you shattered, but in the best way possible! Today, we’re breaking down Keith Richards’ iconic guitar riffs, and the best part? You don’t need open G tuning—this one’s in standard tuning! I’ll show you how to play “Shattered” on guitar, covering power chords, strumming techniques, and classic rock rhythm tricks that define the Rolling Stones’ signature sound.

In This Lesson, You’ll Learn:
⦿ The main E5 to B5 power chord groove
⦿ Keith Richards-style slides & variations
⦿ How to lock in with the groove using palm muting
⦿ Essential chord shapes for the bridge section
⦿ Pro tips for playing it like the original recording
