(9th, 7th, 5th, open)brthe verse uses C# (9th fret) and F# (basically, move yourbrbrfingers around the 11th and 12th frets) p If you want to learn The Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter guitar chords, The 5 chords we'll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major. The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments. Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart /p p The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play Gimme Shelter. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it. /p
