I had always assumed that Keith, since he wrote all or most of the songs, was the one to play the opening chords to kick off the tune. I have always wondered who played the opening licks for these songs. Was it Jagger, Wood, Taylor, or maybe a guest guitarist such as Wayne Perkins?
Slave-Wood? Keith
Rain Fall Down-Jagger?
Can't You Hear Me Knocking-Taylor, according to Jagger, but others say Keith Of course Keith
Heart of Stone-Jones? Keith
Bitch-Keith or Taylor? Taylor
Someone help me out. I am trying to compile a list of all Stones songs whose opening notes are not played by Richards.

I believe Mick Taylor played the opening guitar (panned left) on I Got The Blues? ..Closely followed by Keith (panned right, with tremelo efftect).

Both Taylor and Keith play slide on this track, and I think it's been confirmed here many times that it's Keith playing the opening riff, not Taylor.
I guess it will always remain a mystery, but the fact that this is the only song they
ever gave songwriting credit to Mick Taylor, is a strong indication that he's the one
to come up with the idea of the song. In the case of Ventilator Blues I'd say the general
idea of the song IS the opening riff.
I know it is open for discussion whether providing a riff to a song should be considered
something to get songwriting credits for. But as I said, this will always remain one
of the mysteries of The Stones.
Well, not really a mystery -it's Keith doing the opening riff, and it's also Keith live and during the Dallas rehearsals.

Agreed.
He pulled the Stones wagon.

Give the guys a break...to copy them is one thing ..to invent things is quite another matter.

One Hit to the Body - Jimmy Page? (reportedly)
Speaking of the Dark Lord, he also played on "Heart of Stone" but I don't know how prominently.
