QuoteTaylor1 How is Taylor's rhythm guitaron Live With Me and on Star Star any different than all the guitars on Brown Sugar. And the great solo on the outro to Star Star which is buried in thecrappy mix for which Giles Martin did nothing to improve sounds like Keith or Taylor. How many people who were around in 1968 when Beggar's Banquet came

Some people might not agree with me, but on I'm Going Down it sounds like Taylor trying to play like Richards. It's got a Broken Hands vibe IMO.

I listened to the instrumental and don't hear anything Taylor-esque about the parts. Maybe he played the acoustic lol. We know how the Stones love to put the acoustic in Taylor's hands: see the live rendition of Satisfaction from 2013!

QuoteMathijs Quotedcba Really? I thought they followed the M.O. introduced in 69. Let the band warm up with each gig played, then pro-tape the end of the tour when the band's really hot (NY + Boston). They did that in 69 72 and 73 ("down-under"). Of course the tiny distances between each gig of the "Farewell" tour made possible the use of the Mobile lorry for ea

QuoteMathijs QuoteTravelinMan But, let’s not forget. You and others were skeptical at one point about the rhythm guitar on Bitch saying it’s too crunchy to be Taylor, the rhythm is unique etc. BUT then the extended take came out and it was blatantly obvious it was Taylor because by the time they got to the end of the song that would be faded out he was throwing in extended runs and licks.

Btw, guitar players: Do you play Berry rhythms with strictly down strokes or do you alternate up and down strokes. Interesting results the second way, which isn’t usually the way “taught”.

QuoteFP Listening to all these takes I think that firstly there were lots of guitar parts recorded, the crazy Leslie speak solo and various Keith and Taylor solo ideas shows how much experimentation there was to get the vision Keith had in his head for the track. It would be interesting to know for certain if all the guitars were recorded at Muscle Shoals. I would assume Keith's main rhyt

QuoteFP Mix with some nice jangling arpeggios, the posted says it is MT but I think it is KR. Not sure if the arpeggio guitar is double tracked or a 12 string as sounds a bit chorusey. However Taylor solo at 1.50 and 3.20. Pleasant but not his greatest IMO and can understand why they were removed. video: That's pretty close to the Altamont version which has the same Arpeggios, but B

QuoteDoxa Comparing EXILE - probably the greatest rock album ever made - to some blues hero tribute album is as trivial as discussing if SGT. PEPPER is more blues than GREATEST HITS by ABBA. Sometimes it feels like'the blues' is seen like some metaphysical or mystical item. It's not. It is just music. Clapton's Robert Johnson tribute might be weak, but it is still a pure bl

The funny thing about blues music is it was intended to be pop music at the time, with performers in flashy clothes trying to make money etc. This idea of the rustic, lonesome bluesman is largely a construct created in retrospect by white scholars and music marketers.

It sounds like modern Jagger singing. I think the "strangest year" line is even referring to the pandemic. The original, Some Girls era lyrics aren't finished. Funny enough, he sings "the white girls go insane" on the bootleg, which is an obvious reference to Hendrix. He changed to "crowd goes insane" on the modern version.

I love his guitar work with Dylan. He traverses the whole spectrum from the ethereal joy of Jokerman to the downright sinister heard on Watchtower. Pure rock n roll on Highway 61 to dirty swamp slide on Tombstone Blues.
