It wasn't the scarf.
He played the wrong chord (checking it on my guitar now, I have no clue if that can be catogorised as a chord) as someone explained here earlier.
He managed somehow to play B then a C chord rather than the E!
Shit happens

no we have to pretend a scarf muted a guitar chord. thats one heavy duty scarf
If you look closely you see the scarf go back and to the left. Back. And to the left. That is one magic scarf.

Hopefully Keith won't borrow Lenny's scarf.

I noticed the mistake on Start Me Up, but I also noticed that from later on Keith's performance has been excellent, even the solos were much stronger than in the beginning of the tour.It's been an excellent show.

Was there a "second scarf?"

That scarf has been f***ing it up since at least '94-95. Keith typically put on a scarf right before Brown Sugar (which I believe was the last song, pre-encore on that scripted tour), and that thing was always getting in the way. That's when I first noticed it. That's also when I first noticed that he wasn't always playing. The scarf was taking over. Now he wears it all the time. Now the scarf is in charge. The scarf has spread to Mick Taylor and Johnny Depp as well. I won't go there, but you can draw your own conclusions about their respective recent performances.

To be honest I didn't even notice the mistake at the beginning of SMU as the roar of the crowd was so loud. I think people are making mountains out of molehills in regards to any mistakes by Keith. Its the risk you take by seeing a live performance be it a rock concert, a play etc. I'd rather have a fun, interesting show with a few mistakes than a note perfect recital. I don't go to live shows to hear note perfect renditions. I went to a Dream Theater show once, absolutely flawless playing but boring as hell to watch. I'd take Keith over John Petrucci any day. Plus, when you're actually at the show its a completely different feeling from dissecting it on the net.
Yup yup yup!
What do any of these comments have to do with the fact the keith simply doesn't play much anymore. He starts riffs and doesn't finish them. A large part of the music is the band covering the holes. It has nothing to do with note perfect or any such bullshit. Sure if you're they're it's exciting. They do a good job of covering. It's not exciting live rock and roll vs. note perfect renditions. It's an old guy that can't play much anymore. Moments of greatness still, but in between those moments he's is losing it to age, etc.

Ok, i heard better versions of Sympathy but don't forget... It was a once in a lifetime event to see the Stones @ Hyde Park! I'm very thankful to be there... Best weather, great music @ You Got Me Rocking was NOT on the Setlist! Thankful you Stones! And to everyone @ Hyde Park on July 13th... ENJOY IT!

Michael Hann obviously didn't hear the enormous pie that Keith made of the opening riff of Start Me Up:

Was Sympathy really that bad, Keith didn't maybe finish his solos correctly and maybe a couple of careless notes in them but as a whole Keith's playing wasn't so bad, I have only listened to the performance once so maybe I'm wrong but based on that one time it wasn't so bad imo.

muppetmarkI took out my phone, as did most of my area, every time Mick had done a costume change, there was an amazing one off moment or Mick had decided to walk past us down the walkway. I find that if you are close to the barrier and just taking the odd photo it is fine. No-one i could see had their phone or camera up for the whole thing, the most anyone did was record half a song which is fair enough. Quite a lot around us were first timers (like me) so having a few personalized photos enhances the recollection. The fact that someone thought it was a good idea to take a photo at that time, might mean loads of others think its a good time and thats why you see many phones (i noticed the top of my phone in one of the pics), but i can assure you they werent out for very long at a time.Quote

A few shots from me. I didn't really get close enough for good shots but these might give those who didn't go an idea of the perspective.
The second, third photo really capture what annoys me so much about concerts these days. Put your damn phones away and watch the concert in HD 3D right before you. Look how many people have their smart phones out! a pic or two ok, but why watch the whole show through a 3 inch square? If you want to watch it that way just go to youtube the next day and you can see 50 different versions!
I applaud artists who strictly enforce the no smart phone rule. It's so freaking rude
You don't get it. You don't have to watch the show through your camera. Just hold it above your head and watch the show wit your eyes. I'm glad I captured a few select moments from the shows I attended. I wish I had videos of all the concerts I've attended over the years. This is one of the best technology advancements in the last 10 years IMO and props to the artists who aren't insecure and allow it.
