Sure sounds like Mick Taylor on slide on this song, most evident at 2:20. Richards never played like that. I did an EQ boost at 271 Hz to get a little more definition, and I'm hearing an electric slide guitar.
The quest continues to reacquire Taylor's lost credits...

I don't think they played anything like this song until EOMS. A strange street to go down…….

You Can't Catch Me has some of the same driving, hillbilly-ish rhythm, imo.

Which slide guitar? I only hear two open G-guitars by Keith. The main rhythm guitar and the one which comes in with the subtle licks. Those are not unusual for Keith when he plays single-string licks in open G.

Since I had nothing better to do this evening I listened close to this song for the first time in 25 years.
The second guitar coming in in open G tuning, that's is not necessarily the case. Could also be played in standard tuning using the Amin pent scale in the second position, (without a capo). If you fret your fingers precisely, it sounds exactly the same as on exile. Taylor could do that. On the other hand, the two fast tones a (open string 3) and the tone g,3th fret 4th string makes me think it's open G capo 2, but it sounds a bit artificial to me. I'm not entirely sure. Maybe Taylor said to Keith: "gimme that open tuned guitar", or Keith played it indeed, open g capo 2.

Or maybe this isn't that complicated?

Taylor plays rhythm parts on Bitch, DF, I Got The Blues, Wild Horses and CYHMK on SFM, so that's correct

You're probably right, and it's nice to try both ways just for yourselves as a guitarist, just to figure out who plays what. That's fun and was also my motivation to write about it. I focussed on this particular line for the first time in my life and found out it probably wasn't standard tuning.. Still in standard tuning you can play something interesting, something that comes very close as well. If guitarists want to copy the original, use the open G capo 2 approach. Keith most likely, simple, very effective and beautiful, made me think it was Taylor. These guys must have influenced each other a lot...
You also thought it was Taylor in the first place?

I'm talking about parts on Exile that are often just assumed to be a rhythm guitar overdub by Richards. Bands back then focused on having solid basic tracks with the whole band first and foremost and Taylor wasn't the type not to attempt to contribute.

Slide on TD?
Sounds like a slide lick right at the 2:50 mark, followed by very subtle licks in the background, and then another more prominent at 3:10.
I always thought it was slide - could be just the way it's played though.

Yeah, and around 2:10 and some other places throughout. It sounds like a different take than Richards' other lead guitar.
