During the Montreux Rehearsals in May '72 Keith is playing one of his Teles. It has the standard single coil PU on the neck. The tour starts barely a month later. Did he have the Humbucker put in in that month? Or is this a different Tele? And if it is a different one I don't think I had ever heard of that one.

I will be in the minority here but Johnny Winter has never done anything for me. he is one of those names (like Radiohead) where I keep coming back to them, thinking "It must be me, I am missing something that everyone else is seeing". But it never grabs me. He had a great image. Jagger has said that at the end of the day you also got to have some luck. JW did not get the exposure in

Was Keith ever better live on guitar than on the second Wino tour? With the Stones he was great in '78 and '81, but those were huge stadium shows. W/ the Winos he was in clubs, theatres. And one could make the point that waddy is an even better partner for him that Ron Wood. Waddy has a good dose of Taylor in him, yet way more rhythmic chops than MT.

QuoteTravelinMan QuoteMathijs Listen to the very first lick that is played, starting at 1:18 and ending at 1:20. The reason why I find it typical keith is that the timing is close to being off, closed to being not right. It starts with Bflat, and runs to a G on the low E-string, which is giving vibrato that all most sounds like a correction, then he slides to the G on the D-string, which sounds l

What is great is how one chord can work for a writer. E.g. the diminished chord. a prolific writer will use that for the next year. It is very interesting to watch Dean Ween clips about his guitar playing, and his writing, because he always talks about their discovery of the maj7th chords, and the one position that you can basically slide up and down the board. He used it for a bunch of soul son

The reaction clips are big business on Tube. I think it is a great thing to watch a young generation get hit again with some of the classics. there have been many reaction clips where it made me re-hear the song as if for the first time. But then it became silly because there are obviously people who have heard these songs. But some make it a real study. there is a guy Soul Train Bro who is fan

Not every single word should be analyzed, and held up at it's verbatim meaning IMO. In all song lyrics, and Ron Wood in '73,74 was probably free styling a lot. Often one sings lyrics, puts them down, and then assigns meaning afterwards. To be honest, I always thought it was "Pass me up and stone me one more time". But 'stall' probably makes more sense.

I also think "Struggle" has those'Spanish' overtones. And I do hear the B7 implied; especially in those pauses before it goes back into the Em riff. I thought 'Main Offender' was full of pedal tones.
