Ok, Strat it is... Mick plays a Strat on Billy Preston's Live In Europe 1973 as well. Fun to hear, 'cause Taylor = Les Paul in my mind.
I wouldn't be surprised if he played Strat on Time Waits For No One and If You Can't Rock Me either.
Time Waits absolutely, IYCRM sounds more like a LP to me.

Jimmy Page on Keith Richards, interviewed by Wesley Strick in 1977 & reprinted in Jimmy Page Tangents Within A Framework:
"He's so good at what he does. It's a shame his personal life should be so exposed - that it should be allowed to interrupt what he's doing musically. Because he's the facade of what the Stones are doing. People get more into the outrage than the music sometimes which is a great pity. You only have to put on "Dance Little Sister" and you forgive the guy for anything. Keith's always been under the hammer. It's an imposed social karma which is bullshit."

I am quite sure Keith uses the neck humbucker of a Tele here. Taylor is on Strat.
Mathijs
How do you know, I'm doubting just curious.
The guitar sounds gritty and grainy to me like a P90 but what do I know, Keith can make them all sound the same anyway.

There's no way that's a Strat. Strat's sound thin. That's gotta be a Les Paul.

Strats sound thin? Not the good ones with a rosewood board! His tone is actually quite bright, emphesised by the phaser and a bit of delay. In the verses he does sound like the middle pickup, and the solo is the neck pickup. Quite the same sound can be achieved on a 355, but then you need to use the Varitone in the second or third position. But that sound is a bit more dry, not as lush as what is heard here.
As far as I know it is unknown whether Taylor did all the overdubs in several sessions after the tracks where actually recorded, but it does seem that way. And he does seem to favour his '63 Strat during this period.

It's interesting that Keith gets much more respect from many genuine "heavy weight" musicians than he does from the typical "muso".
They recognise that, whilst not being a technical virtuoso, he is the ultimate groove player...with the ability to make the simplest music jump and sound interesting.
The reason we can still get off on Keith playing SMU is that he can still find a new accent, a different space in the beat to work.

There is very little on GHS or IORR that does not sound strained. DLS is a perfect example. How do you explain the dead end riff on If You Can't Rock Me? The albums are neither fun nor sexy. Generally speaking, even Taylor's playing does not save the day. There is some experimentation in there, but much of it feels halfhearted. It was time for a break, but it ended up being the beginning of a long slow death.

I like the extended outtake with the 2nd bridge better. Better mix I think.

I always thought that the lead guitar was Keith . Like the solo that sounds like someone is using a whammybar sounds like Keith . Does anyone else think that ? And on the song " BITCH " I was told that the lead solo was Keith but in an interview with Mick Taylor he said it was himself trying to sound like Keith . Any thoughts ?
I know the thread is about the guitars, but esp. on the youtube version: ALL I can hear is fantastic Bill Wyman.Quote

That's the LP take unedited with a full mix with a fade out unfortunately. The editing was a great job, the mix too.

This track just shouts STONES at me. Pure rock-n-roll.
If they continue this opening of the vaults of live shows, I would love to hear a clean recording of this track from El Mocombo.

The lead guitar on Dance LS is as Taylor as can be, the lead guitar on Bitch is as Keith as can be.

If the 'Bitch' solo is Taylor I hand in my resignation.

That solo bears every element of what makes Keith's style so recognizable. I remember when IORR first came out and I had not yet heard ANY of the tracks, I turned on the radio and heard some cool sound with no vocals to help identify what band it was but I instantly knew it had to be Keith Richards playing a solo on a Stones track I'd never heard before. Turns out what I heard was Keith's solo on Ain't Too Proud to Beg. Keith has a very identifiable style.

And you have a masterful knack for the sarcastic barb almost every time you respond to something. Yes, it IS bleeding obvious but I should point out that when IORR came out and I heard the aforementioned bit on the radio, I was only 14, had only been a Stones fan for a short time and even then I knew how to recognise different player's styles. I've found that there are boatloads of people who somehow can't do that, which I can't quite understand. Actually, I enjoy your sarcasm is a perverse sort of way.
