Not measured yet
TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from community sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.
Angry and Bite My Head Off are tabbed in standard tuning; the other songs have no tab yet. The first album of new songs since A Bigger Bang (2005), produced by Andrew Watt, with Steve Jordan on drums after Charlie Watts's death; Watts still plays on Mess It Up and Live by the Sword. Paul McCartney plays bass on Bite My Head Off, and it closes with Rolling Stone Blues, Mick and Keith alone on a Muddy Waters song. Keith's open-G parts have no tab yet, so start from standard tuning and listen. Not in TuneLit's library, so not measured.
