I'm an average-level pianist, but don't normally have access to a piano. This week I am staying at a place with a beautiful electric piano. I've been having so much fun, blasting the rust off, and loving playing Memory Motel and Fool to Cry.

What other Stones tracks do you love to play on piano?

As a side question, what Stones tracks were written on piano? We Love You? Worried About You?

I am not a piano player but Flight 505 and Let's Spend the Night Together sound like worthy 'fun' songs to play.

Yeah! Thanks Northof49, I'll give LSTNT a whirl.

We Love You

Exile On Main Street Blues

Flight 505 is good one.
She's a rainbow, too.

I'm now practicing Key To The Highway(Stu version) on piano. It's very fun.

That intro to 'Loving Cup'.

Petrol Blues is a fun one, too.

Wild horses.

There are so many!!

Devil, Melody, Driving your Plane, Angie, Hide Your Love, Rainbow all have beautiful piano parts

I used to play Walking The Dog on the piano. It's not originally a piano song, of course, but it's easy to translate. The "riff" is kinda easy, the rhythm with the left hand is easy and fun, and it's a 12-bar-ish kinda song so easy to figure out. And it will sound good.

Another one, more of a challenge, is Melody. It's more difficult, especially the singing part of course.

My friends always ask me to play Loving cup. And also Sing this all togheter. True Nicky's fan!

Jig Saw Puzzle, Can I get a witness.

One place i used to go to, had a piano and he used to play Angie for me.

For my 60th, the hotel we were staying at, played satisfaction for me.

That was the one that instantly came to mind...so playful and full of life.

There's a funny Mick interview somewhere where he was trying to run through it before dueting with Bonnie Raitt, and he recalls he wrote it on piano so it "must be in C"...guess he never got around to learning the circle of fifths!

I am a lousy pianist, but I have always liked to play "Hide Your Love" and "Memory Motel". There are others for sure, but those come to my mind first.

Jagger is not the best pianist either, but one constant in his piano songs is his steady left hand. You can always tell his piano by a rock steady left-hand part.

That 'We Love You" riff must have come out of an excercise.
Or more likely when a riff is hammering in your head, when you all coked up and cant sleep forever.
