i AGREE IT WAS A 3 CHORD JAM. No bridges, no solos. And MJ has made an effort to create a melody that fits with the thing. Maybe choruses, keyboards , acoustic and lead guitar might be overdubbed.
It sounds very good to me

Where is Mathijs when we need him?

Mathijs, in the end, is like all of us is just expressing an opinion and isn't necessarily always correct. As for my opinion, I can see what you mean about the guitar sounding like Ron Wood's Face's era stuff, but it lacks the "ragged" quality that was part of his sound then. The picking here is very clean and precise and sounds like it's being played sans pick, and these are features of Mick Taylor's playing nowadays.

Amen to that.

My 2 cents: this track and Taylor is produced in a modern way, and hence sounds a bit like Ronnie and the Faces in the best Faces days. The Faces have always sounded more crips than the Stones, and the sound of this track indeed resembles some good old Faces.

Open G is 100% Keith Richards. It has all the signature timing of 70's open G that even Richards himself can't do anymore. It has many simularities with '72/'73 open G tracks like Tumbling Dice and Tops with all the little intricate runs he plays.

Jagger no way could play like this in '72, and I am sure the bass, drums and rhythm guitar are vintage. The way they interlock is almost impossible to do in an overdub. My best guess is that this track is edited down from some very long jam of Wyman, Watts and Richards, with all else being overdubs, or Taylor's guitar edited down as well.

Jagger is on acoustic, as far as I can tell.

Mathjis, are you serious? Jagger played on Stop Breaking Down and Tumbling Dice. Why on earth couldn't he play on this?

Sure, but all of Jagger's guitar parts to date are fairly basic rythm playing, without too many fills and licks, like Sway, SBD, Fingerprint File, Don't Stop, Highwire, Sad Sad etc. Jagger also plays fairly 'on the beat', while Richards was a master in playing around the '1' of the beat. That has become a bit cliche since the late 80's, but in '71/'72/'73 he still had that brilliant timing.

Listen to this track with headphones, there's a lot more going on with the open G guitar than you hear on first listen!

The guitar playing styles of MT and RW are obviously different, but they do share some common ground. They both have that harmonising style of guitar playing that is common with guitar players from the 1960s. You can hear it in Jeff Beck and also George Harrison, and Keith of course. So to think that MT on this track is sounding a bit like RW shouldn't be a surprise.
