there's not as much bush around now as there was back in Mick's time out here.
Yes the Brazilian led clearing of the bush has been widely accepted down under....

In the GS movie bonus material, you can see Mick playing what I think is an open-G tuned Telecaster...I think it must have been Ike's guitar (a Thinline Telecaster?). Mick is playing the guitar as he sits backstage with Ike and Tina. Seemed he played better than Ike if I rememeber.

Some quotes on Jagger's guitar playing:
Sad Sad Sad
"That's Mick (playing the first thing you hear)... Oh yeah, he can do a fairly good imitation of me (laughs). Mind you, we spent a long time working on the sound. I join in at the very end of the riff there. (Mick plays the open 5-string tuning.) Oh yeah. After a few years he realized I only had 5 strings (laughs) - no, he knows all my tricks. He's a good rhythm player now.He's the rhythm on Hold on to Your Hat, with Ronnie Wood on bass." Keith Richards, 1989
Some Girls
"I played guitar on the album, I enjoyed very much playing guitar - more than singing almost. I like to do both, but the thing is, I can't do both very well yet, that's the trouble... I wanted to do it because I want to do everything. I play drums, you know, I love to play the drums. Ask Charlie. We all play drums. Ronnie plays drums, everyone wants to do the other role, you know." Mick Jagger, 1978
Respectable
"This was one of the first times we allowed him to join in on guitar. He's a really good rhythm player, man; but then, he's had a good teacher." Keith Richards, 1993
Back Of My Hand
"I sleep downstairs and the studio is upstairs. One night, I thought I was hearing this old Muddy Waters track I didn't know, but it turned out to be Mick working on a slide part for Back of My Hand. He's always been a good, smooth acoustic player, but the electric seemed like an untamed beast for him until this year. I thought: My God! The boy's finally got it." Keith Richards, August 2005

Keith thinks Mick finally nailed electric guitar during ABB? I guess he really did miss those sessions for Sway and Stop Breaking Down over 30 years earlier.
