They simply do not give credits (or almost do not).
Everybody in the band from Bill to MT to Ronnie should have known/should know that. You gotta live with it - or leave.

Is it really Taylor playing the main acoustic guitar on Angie? I always thought it was Keith.

I was interested to know if there are examples of Mick Taylor using modes in his solos or more exotic scales such as Harmonic and Melodic Minor? From the studio recordings he seems to stick to blues scales and natural minor but I wondered if there are any live shows that feature the more uncommon scales/modes mentioned above?

The only "exotic" scale played by Taylor can be heard on a song like "Spanish", the phrygian mode. He tended to play some minor pentonics rooted on the 2nd, 3th 5th and (ma)j7th of a major chord, with the Stones and more often with Jack Bruce and his 1979 solo record. Taylor never ever used a Melodic minor or Harmonic minor, certainly not in the classical/traditional context. I wish he would have done it

I'm just wondering what he was doing playing a pentatonic based off a major 7th, wouldn't that be Locrian mode? Which song does he do that on?

He played by ear, not with music theoretical knowledge, I guess..

I think he confirmed just that in an interview somewhere, sometime...
Actually, that's what I do, too. Whenever I thought too much in scales and fret positions, my playing began to sound a bit static for my own taste. That's when I started to rely more on my ears and my intuition.
