"Substanial Damage" is a motherf*cker of a tune. Jordan, positively thunderous.
Someone else beat me to it over at Rock Off, but Keith is playing a variation of the funky breakdown of "If You Can't Rock Me."
In open-G:
Slide half-step below into x-4-3, quickly hit the G root, and then hammer-on to a C x-x-5-5-x-x and then another half-step slide into x-x-3-4-x-x. It's all down quickly and funkily, so I hope this description does it justice.
Then there's some slashing of these notes:
x-x-x-x-3-3 and x-x-x-x-3-5
Then the cool part: a C chord that Keith renders like so: x-5-5-0-3-0 and sliding back to a Bb.
Similar to the "Nothing on Me" Cmaj7, I've never heard Keith play that voicing in open-G ever before.
The old dog still flashes some new tricks!

Three songs in open-g (Trouble, Nothing On Me, Substantial Damage) and not a single I-IV move (a la Brown Sugar, Start Me Up, etc.) Interesting.

That really is interesting, perhaps even Keith is getting a bit tired of that well worn territory. I guess if we count Brown Sugar as the real first use of that I-IV hammered riff it would be Mick's riff anyway.

Because Mick wrote it? But thinking more about it, I guess you might consider Street Fighting Man the first use of that hammered I-IV lick.

Not technically a I-IV, but 19th Nervous intro has the grip. That's where it all started!

Route 66 has it, too.
That's where it started (on an album)

Yes!
I was more referring to the hammered I-IV thing in open tunings (E,D or G). It had a certain sound that is generally quite different from standard tuning inversions of the same change.

I read you, partner.
I've tried to document Keith's use of the technique on tunings other than open-G to absolve him of the charge that it's all a Ry Cooder ripoff.

Hey Mel Belli, this whole "guitar corner" is actually a good idea and I could see it working for a lot of the Stones records too!
