Great find this vid. It's the only way to accurately get his sound on a lot of their songs.

You can also tune your 6th string down to D (and mute it when playing) if you don't want to lose it or risk your guitar's neck by having lost the tension of the thickest string.

Keef had custom 5 string guitars made.

I read an article in the NME in the 70s about this technique / tuning and have used it for many Stones' covers.

Cheers.
