Open‑E 'Jumping Jack Flash' tab

A new lesson page breaks down “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” in open E tuning with TAB aimed at beginners, giving players a simpler way into the riff. (opengtuning.co.uk) The page was published on Open G Tuning’s site and is tagged “beginners,” with the lesson built around TAB rather than standard notation. A related post on the same site, published about three months ago, also pitches the song specifically in open E tuning. (opengtuning.co.uk 1) (opengtuning.co.uk 2) Open E changes the six strings to E, B, E, G-sharp, B, E, so strumming the open guitar already forms an E major chord. That setup lets players get full chords with simpler fingerings than standard tuning, which is why it often shows up in slide and riff-based lessons. (wikipedia.org) (guitargearfinder.com) For beginners, that matters because barre chords are one of the biggest early hurdles on guitar. A TAB lesson in an open tuning can move a player straight to the shape and rhythm of a famous riff without first mastering full six-string barre forms. (opengtuning.co.uk) (guitargearfinder.com) “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” is one of the Rolling Stones’ best-known singles, released in Britain on May 24, 1968, and in the United States on May 31, 1968. The song reached No. 1 on the United Kingdom singles chart and No. 1 on the United States Cash Box chart. (wikipedia.org) The tuning angle also taps into a long-running guitar debate around the song, because many lessons teach it through Keith Richards’ better-known open-G approach or other simplified versions. Search results for current video lessons still surface open-G tutorials prominently alongside this newer open-E lesson. (opengtuning.co.uk) (youtube.com) Open tunings are not new to Stones fans, but packaging one of the band’s signature riffs as a beginner TAB lesson lowers the barrier for casual players who want the sound before the theory. The result is less about a new song and more about a new entry point into a 1968 classic. (opengtuning.co.uk) (wikipedia.org)
