"That’s Brian playing. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes.
That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing. He was there with everyone else.
It’s funny how you remember – but that was the last moment I remember him doing that, because he had just lost interest in everything".
- Mick, 1995
Have you seen the documentory recording of Brian leaving the studio in his impressive hippie coat with his sitar? I always link that image to his last serious and subtle beautiful contribution to No Expectations .... heartbreaking.

I've probably seen it georgie - as a lifelong dedicated fan of the band I'd like to think I've seen just about all that's publicly available.The entire last year of Brian's life seems to be heartbreaking...a sad ending...
His slide on No Expectations is much more complex than just a few notes especially given the context of when it was recorded....
I remember seeing it played live at Vredenburg, and despite Ronnie's brash attempt at the delicate solo, it was still nice to see...

I think I hear also a G# (?) over the E chord
he slides up to the 4th fret of the 4th string, then the B 3rd fret, 3rd string

The G# is part of a E major chord/tuning . You cannot miss it

Here's Mick Taylor at NYC's Iridium in early 2012 having a go at "No Expectations" with his slide... (Sorry for the crummy 2012 phone audio and video.) ...

That's what makes it major

Beggars Banquet was Taylor's favourite Stones album. Good taste.
