BTW I reread John Perry's book about Exile and he has Taylor playing the second rhythm on RO and also the main guitar on Let It Loose! JP is a fine player himself (The Only Ones) so he had the technical knowledge to assess the playing styles but again he says it is more guess work than anything.

Bill Janovitz in his book also has Taylor on slide on RTJ and Soul Survivor.

Soul Survivor is without a doubt Taylor. Listen to the heavy vibrato during the outro.

Do you think it is KR or MT playing slide on this instrumental of RTJ? To me it sounds like Taylor, I can't imagine Keith playing at this tempo on slide? If this is Taylor then I think he does play a few licks on RTJ. If this is Keith then I will agree RTJ is Keith.

Probably some joker who did the overdub at home. Too amateurish to be Taylor unless he drank 2 gallons of tequila.

Maybe the other Mick is playing the slide

Yes, I stand corrected.

Or he did loads of heroin...oh hang on? Seriously I think the playing it pretty cool? The intonation is a bit out and the guitar is a bit out of tune but I think there is some technique there?

Btw I remember Mathijs saying something like the electric guitar on Loving Cup couldn't be Taylor, unless he did it while really drunk and I was like "well yes maybe he was!". I mean we are talking about the most debauched recording session of all time

A small victory for the Taylor fans

Could Jagger have played slide on any of the Exile sessions. He did play slide albeit 33 years later on a Bigger Bang. Ibet a lot of people thought it was Keith playing the rhythm guitars on Sway and Fingerprint File

Very likely not, or just for fun, but nothing serious. Either Keith would have done it, or Mick Taylor.

I think it's neither Taylor nor Richards. Seems some Stones fan to me who plays slide guitar, and uploaded it. He hits the lower notes quite precise, but they make no sense from a melodic point of view, a too low pitch. The higher ones are just horrible. And the guitar sound is cheap to my ears.

John Lennon visited them at Keith’s house while they were recording Exile, maybe he snuck in and played

I think it’s Keith Richards and he’s doing the high part as a cue for the horns to come in. He then simplified the slide part for the record.

I read some of the comments and everyone takes it so seriously, The song is fun and I love it. If it sounds good I'll listen. I can't stand all tis over analyzation. It's a good tune turn it up loud!

Star Star is a dated product of its time to a point, lyrically - the names in the song.

Yet easily transferred to current times.

Musically? Timeless.

I love her!
