HOT STUFF

ROLLING STONES

Listen to the record to get the feel of the song and you will

understand what I have done. I have revised this tab on 5-13-21

Just to emphasize and clarify some of the points I have made.

This song is not really complicated to play as it is based mainly

around the one riff throughout the song.
