I have always considered the A chord in 'Hand of Fate' as one of those implied minor chords that you mention. It's a taint chord, LOL
You can bar it in 2nd fret, but you can't really play that C# note on the B string.

Hi Scott,
Really enjoying this video series. Great to have a channel focusing on the details of Keith's playing.
Keith has a way of implying chords without using the 3rds in order to make them fit into the riffs. That A in Hand of Fate that has already been discussed is one example but also Little T&A doesn't sound to good if one plays the A chord with a third, be it minor or major. Nothing really fits but that makes it interesting.

Great way of putting it. I discovered the same thing on piano years ago, playing just the pinky and thumb, leaving the chord undecided or 'open' if you will

You're right, I sort of had Struggle in mind when I wrote my post. That second part of Hold Back where the song is using the descending major scale of G starting from C is definitely a Bm anyways...

The guitar intro on Sliver Train seems to fit the pedal tone that you describe.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about guitar/stones intricacies, MelBelli; very generous of you.

I am sure Keith Richards played Twenty Flight Rock in open G in 1981

Oh man, the solo and fills he plays on Robbed Blind are some of the best lines he’s played in the last 25 years. Everything about that track — the up-close vibe of the recording, the lyrics, the acoustic guitars — is standout stuff.
Stay tuned!
(I amended my description of the vid to account for your B7 correction.)

A little detour — Piano for Guitarist Dummies, episode 1. Too many great piano parts are never transcribed or analyzed because they’re “hidden” in guitar-driven music. ... included are bits of Angie, Loving Cup, Wilco’s Shot in the Arm, and Bruce’s It’s Hard to Be a Saint ... Check it out!

What is interesting also in Nicky's parts on 'Loving Cup' is that those 6ths that you're focusing on in the intro, he basically keeps playing that part through out the song. It's always a variation on it, but every time those drawn out notes "come on up', or "face full of mud" come around, he is playing that underneath.
Nicky had to have been a huge inspiration for anyone in the studio. Especially in those years for the Stones when all the stars aligned perfectly for them.
Great thread.
