Taylor Era
going in with the preconception that anything fluid or non-Chucklike can't be keith is how the discussion gets skewed, in the end. As is focusing on solos.
-- well I agree with that in the sense that there are plenty of great songs without any solo at all, but the question asked in this thread was 'dont you think keith played more leads (which I read as solos) in the taylor era than the name implies'
I dont think so
keith is not a fluid soloist, i mean just listento the two Ya Ya's 'sympathy' solos; one is choppy and stacatto, the other fluid and melodic
keith has always been kind of a hack when it comes to soloing, but that doesnt mean he is a shitty soloist, that is just this particular style; I happen to like it
Don't forget that there is an A chord in there as well! G, C, G, A, DQuote
Taylor Era
- - thanks! I can follow the chord changes ok, there is really just G, C and D, but because the strings go (low to high) G,D,G.B,D it knocks me off...unless..the solo is only played on the D,G and B strings..then it wouldnt matter.. since those are all in standard tuning anyways.. maybe that is the trick!
how do you slow windows media player to half speed??

"Who plays the solos on "Dead Flowers" is endlessly debated here" Indeed it has been. I always thought Mick T. was playing the background fills and Keith the solo on that song. The phrasing on the solo is not typical of Mick's soloing style while it is more like Keith's from that period. Still, I recall even Mathijs has stated at one time that it was Keith playing the solo and then on another occasion Mick on another. We may never know for certain...

[I was able to figure out the Dead Flowers solo (more or less) from Sticky so I hope to be able to get a handle on this !!

This is not intended as a comment on the ability of the players, but I usually find it easier to figure out a Taylor solo than a Keith solo.

I am not sure if I ever stated keith did the solo on Dead Flowers, but anyway: it is Taylor for sure. In fact, the electric guitars sound like they have been recorded live and in one take. Taylor does the tremelo picking on the left channel, and this guitar also takes the solo.

You did state as much, albeit a few years ago: Keith's Clean Electric Guitar Solo on Wild Horses Perhaps now you'll finally answer the question I posed way back then!

... If you don't hear them 'weave' in "Flight n° 505", f.i. ... I'm not (nobody is) saying it was álways the case, but at least they layed it down some-, and in fact: quite several times, even in the (Brian Jones) 'early days', didn't day?
It was the best of times, it was the beginning of times- that kinda thing.
You're right. It doesn't really matter. I was just curious as to why you had shifted your view. To me, the solo didn't sound quite like a typical Mick solo and not quite typically Keith either but more like him than Mick to my ears. I need to give it a very serious listen (again) and remove any preconceptions I have. Play on!Quote

Not that it matters anything, but in the mentioned thread from 2006 I also state that Taylor does the DF solo, and Keith the WH solo.
The give-away in the Dead Flowers solo is the fast run at the very end of the solo, the last two bars. That is typically Taylor, much to fast and fluid for Keith.

I've always wondered what chords Taylor was playing when Keith was also playing chords? For example, in a song like Brown Sugar, would Taylor have played the same chords as Keith but in standard tuning? I've tried listening on the boots and can never quite hear Taylor's chord parts clearly. I'd love to know as I can play a basic open G chord progression but would love to be able to do a bit of Mick T too!

Whenever the chance was there and I could watch in a video I was always amazed to see Taylor play very straight chording. I mean Taylor played in standard tuning so it makes sense, but still..
Personally I think it is very easy to tell Taylor and Keith apart, no matter what they are playing. Eg. the whole first section of CYHMK, it is typical the different way the guitars sound.
