There's no acoustic guitar, you probably hear shades / the reverb from the electric guitar mixed with the piano. I think it’s being picked up from the vocal mic or it’s very low in the mix.

I hear an acoustic guitar, buried, but it's there. It can't be an echo because the electric is playing a different rhythm. On the released version listen close at the 3 minute mark.,. you can hear the chime of a steel string acoustic guitar. It's audible at other parts as well. It's more audible in this version: Could this be Mick Taylor's alleged contributi

I went back and listened, check out the alternate mix (or take) and it's easy to tell there are three acoustic guitars and who is on which. Richards - acoustic and electric slide, left channel Taylor - acoustic, center (1st chorus) then panned right channel Jagger - acoustic, right channel Listening to the album version, wow, they really needed Jimmy Miller to help mix this, jeez

Quotez If I may ask, where did the story of Taylor delivering the Ventilator riff come from? Is there any evidence of this? Interview by Nick Kent, Oct. 1974. "That was mostly Keith really, that album. The riff for that particular song was mine. Actually I've written quite a few songs with the band — Keith and I did a couple in France that were never recorded."

I agree for the most part, but then again, would a song like Winter or Moonlight Mile sound like they ended up if Taylor hadn’t contributed? Would they have ever been finished? I think that is the most important piece of information: would the song have been completed without Taylor? It’s hard to say, it seems Richards didn’t think much of a few songs that Jagger and Taylor worked on. They wer

Stills did play with them in Amsterdam, October 10 1970, and plays lead guitar on the outtake 'Potted Shrimp(s)', and later traveled with them on the 1972 tour. So whatever happened between them wasn't too bad. Mathijs Funny enough, I listened to t

Did Silver Train originate from the Sticky Fingers sessions at Stargroves? It was probably dropped from consideration from Exile because there was already a song with train references and slide guitar. It sounds like some of the playful rock they were doing at the time of Sticky Fingers.

Quoteschillid QuoteDandelionPowderman Chord tones or chord notes? When I hear the word "tone" applied to chords --- especially on guitar -- I think about tonal qualities like Fat, thin, tinny sound... etc. Things based on volume, treble, bass and midrange.

Ah, the good old English language. In the US, “chord tones” and “notes of a chord” are synonymous. In the Arlen Roth video with Mick Taylor, Taylor discloses he plays lead based on the underlying harmony of the chords. Any “scale” he uses essentially come from a chord progression. Guitar tone, of course, is a whole different animal and Taylor has one of the most distinct, and best, IMO. He
