Talkin' 'Bout You!

On the Tokyo 1990 shows Keith plays some very intricate lead lines during the breakdown of Rock and a Hard Place. He plays a middle eastern flavored scale that he doesn't play often, and its technically quite challenging in speed and note choice.

In contrast I love the one note solo in the middle 8 of Dance Little Sister from Mocambo. He could have played anything there, and every guitarist would have played some flashy lick, but Keith just plays a single C-note. Now that is brilliance to me.

Probably Monkey Man.

I like the solo on Where the Boys Go as well.

What solo?

Bitch and SFTD

2120 South Michigan Avenue long version .. is that Keith on solo ? Great one

If it's Keith that plays the solo on "It's All Over Now", then "It's All Over Now".

All solos without slide were done by Keith back then.

A nice one indeed, but strange the story in LIFE Keith shares with us. That Lennon teased him how bad that solo was, and Keith seemingly agreed with it.

That doesn't even sound like Richards. Is there a video of him playing it? Sounds like studio overdub.

He plays a variation of that on several versions.

Keith is a flamenco guitarist at heart!

For te guitar nerds amongst us: Keith is playing a short crossover between an E phrygian and E phrygian dominant (a raised third-G#) scale up and down. Sounds great, at 4:37 sharp:

I’m having trouble imagining Keith thinking about modes. My guess — and this is only a guess — is that he’s just thinking C major scale (same notes as E Phrygian).

The song is is A minor, so C is the relative major. It sounds great against the E chord.

I did a video about Keith’s Spanish-y lines here, if anyone is interested!

What did John Lennon know about solos? I don't remember exactly what Keith wrote about it, but I am surprised to hear that he agreed with Lennon. I think it's a great solo. Simple, to the point, rhytmical, very Chuck Berry-ish.

I'm quite sure that Keith is hearing the E and the F chord because that's what the keyboards and the horn section are playing as some sort of bridge. Thank God Keith plays by ear and is not interested in scales. Could very well be that he prepared the line during rehearsals.

Mick Taylor did something similar on the song "Spanish".

Absolutely he is hearing the chords underneath.

I’m just saying that I doubt he is thinking about Phrygian or any other mode.

In the case of Mick Taylor’s “Spanish,” I act usually DO think he was thinking about a scale.

The whole thing is based on natural minor. I did a video about that too!

Never underestimate Keith. He is a fan of Andres Segovia.

But you can hear it?

She Was Hot.

Also Too Tightand Love in Vain

I really like the solo at the end of Rocky Road to Dublin on the Chieftains album, The Long Black VeilAlbum,although I’m not sure if it’s Ron or Keith.Great album including Mick on Long Black Veil

there is some truth in that .

Any solo where he doesn't resort to those Chuck Berry licks or the 3rd shape major pentatonic is a win for me!
