Yep. That's it. I always thought that this era of Keith Richard's. Was his best tone and playing imo. But also I can't leave out my personal favorite. Who also used a les paul Jr. With one P90 pickup and that's leslie west of mountain. The song Mississippi queen tone wise is iconic. He used sunn coliseum amps and a les paul Jr. And created a tone in 69 that guitarists try to emulate today.
You surely need to hear some 'bravo' 'well done' on this. Superb lesson and teaching style. I truly love it that you gave the other guitar parts, and chapters. Also the geek talk is great! That funk riff is just so simple and amazingly effective. If it helps any.....Keith used his Dan Armstrong Clear Plexi AND the Custom Black Les Paul. Mick used a brown Gibson ES-355TD-SV for the solo as you displayed nicely!!!!! Great breakdown!
Mate, I have been trying to figure this song for a couple of years and your cover of the song and explanation is by far the best on RU-vid. As well, sonically it is the most accurate. Well done and thanks for sharing with us! You are ready to sit in for Keith if he can’t play. Cheers! 👍👍
Thank you for this video! Probably the most advanced guitar solo ever recorded, hard to imagine how a young Mick Taylor could play so amazing. Too bad Mick was not able to continue as a solo artist and hire a variety of singers to augment his amazing playing.
@@1982Dawg He's a stupidly good player, too good for the Stones, in fact. This is not to disrespect either party! I think the Mick T years were among Keith's best years, but I always found Taylor too... intricate for a dirty rock n roll band. Ronnie fits the whole bluesy/souley groove får better. Now this of course just my dumb opinion. TLDR: Taylor? GREAT player. Lousy Stone ;-)
Imagine if Mick had actually been able to write songs half a good as Keef? I mean how hard is it really to throw in some lead scale work to absolute classics like..........Can't You Hear Me Knocking. They got AI's that can do that now. Trouble is, just like it was for Mick back in the 70's.....the AI's can't write classic originals. Nope.
Been wanting to learn this one for some time. Watched a few vids and without a doubt your is the most comprehensive and accurate one out there. Great video and great lesson. Thanks for explaining, in detail, everything that was going on within the recording. Really interesting.
I taught my self how to play “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” using a capo on the 3rd fret of my beautifully made Korean natural finish 2001 Epiphone Dot (ES335). I rebuilt the pickups with nickel baseplates (instead of brass), maple spacers, steel pole pieces & slugs, removed as much wax potting around the coils and all of it around the screw poles, slugs. I swapped out the ALNICO 2 pickup with ALNICO 5 magnets and replaced the chrome pick up (PU) covers with bare nickel covers to give that ultra vintage look. I also replaced all the electronics with American made 500K CTS pots and orange drop 22uf capacitors. Essentially I rebuilt the pickups to copy vintage PAF pickups and the sound went from dull mud to Holy Buffalo Nickels, Pots & Pans Batman!!!! this sounds like expensive Gibson pick ups for about $30 and very nice electronics for whatever is the going rate but still way less than what Gibson charges. Well worth the time and effort. I get that Beautifully articulated raw gritty sound and smooth jazz sound like the record. I also start the song out with the bridge pick up and switch to neck pick up for the jam session with Bobby Keys. It sounds pretty damn good maybe harder to play maybe not. It does work well playing in a live band situation. I have to say though, Hat’s off to you mate!!!! What a nice job playing the song and figuring out it was open G tuning because everything you’re playing sounds spot on like the record!!!!! I’m definitely going to try playing it like you’ve demonstrated because i can see and hear Keith all over it. Thank you for sharing this and for all the time you have put into this!!!! I just love The Rolling Stones, they are probably my Favorite Band of all time depending on the mood. Their music has given shelter from the storm mtany times. When I’m down I just play through my music collection and visit all of my friends. Sticky Fingers is one my “If I could own 10 albums” list, it’s my favorite Stones album. The magic ju ju set point was on perfect and connected to that part of the universe where all the songs come from. Like that moment when you’re fiddlin around with the guitar and this song that never existed before starts coming out of your amplifier speakers and you’ve got a brand new song to write. I love when that happens. “Can’t you here me knocking?” Is the perfect example of the magic of music and everyone playing on the song is perfectly in sync. The sixth Rolling Stone Bobby Keys plays my most favorite sax lead performance on a Rock n Roll record that I’ve ever heard. Cheers mate!!!
Thank you for such a well presented and informative lesson👍 I’m using my looper more lately and this lesson will really give me a fun project to work on and learn more.
Lotta' folks looking for that Jazz sauce, man. Love that you go for tone, neck pup' , gain is in volume/ breakup. MT's outro riff not sounding like h/on- p/off, or plain strings, was well shown and sounded out. Love the accidental jam story too. Great lesson, keep on!! Ü♫
I love Mick Taylor's era with the Stones, but a lot has to do with timing and where the fellas were in their lives. Ron Wood was no slouch during that era, his work with Rod Stewart also stands up as some of the best from rock's golden age. If he had lived in the basement in France and Mick Taylor had come later, after everyone was hitting their 30s and drifting apart, who knows?
Thanks for the great lesson. Question. Ever heard of "The Three Chord Trick"? Example, key of E or B standard tuning - guitar #1 open, guitar #2 capo 2nd fret, guitar #3 capo 5th fret. Same chord progression for all. Letting the B and E strings drone "open at capo" on guitars #2 and #3. Voicings that can't be had otherwise. Nice for many Rolling Stones songs "(Jumpin' Jack Flash", Street Fightin' Man") as well as with open tunings E, D, G ect. Ever tried it? Works for lots of songs by many artists. Nirvana "What if I Do?", "Times Like These" , Beatles, Elton John. You name it pretty much.
It's a 2011 R8 les paul, I believe they call it "translucent red". If you get close you can see through to the wood, but from farther back it just looks solid red. I love it
@@12footchain Thanks dude! From poking around online it looks like maybe "translucent Cherry" I also see "Sweet Cherry" ... in 58 reissue. Beautiful and off the beaten path. Rock on!
Also may I say often times these tutorials have someone playing the right notes but with the phrasing quite clearly off. Your phrasing and accents are spot on, well done.
Hi, where did you get those great photos that are visible before you click? Great studio shots, i have not seen those before. During this short period 1969-71 Keith played those raunchy mean half step double string slides. He has not done that much after 1971. This style that he uses on Can't You Hear Me, Monkey Man, etc was pretty much gone during the Exile.
Try the ending for Derek And The Dominos "Layla" and Led Zeppelin's "Going To California" in the open D (not drop D) tuning. Drop it to C for the end of "Layla" and keep the "Three Chord Trick" for guitars #1 open and #2 capo 3rd fret.
Mick's rhythm part sounds more to me as downward-stroke choppy than loose strummy. Regardless, I love how both guitars interplay with each other throughout the song.
on that one I went straight into my 64 Fender Super Reverb, jumped the channels, set vol around 6 where it starts to break up when you dig in hard on the strings. Bridge pickup. I think the best result comes if you can go through any tube amp turned up to the point where you get the power tubes pushing (all tube amps have some point when they are turned up where the tubes start distorting in a good way - but you have to turn them up) - rather than using an overdrive pedal. it is just different. I'm sure Keith was into some tube amp cranked up pretty hard.
@@12footchain that’s great and makes a lot of sense; I’m running a 65 Princeton ri and use an OCD when I can’t crank it. I love the vibe of your channel.
why do we as musicians constantly touch the knobs on our guitars and basses even if they're not actually being used? i've noticed too cops are constantly touching the buttons on their walkie talkies too. knobs or buttons as we know them are a very new technology in human history and especially one worn on the individual's person is an extremely new technology so i'd be curious why human beings seem to react to it inthat manner.
Why do you play and show us 6 strings, when Keith has only 5 strings.My open g Tele has only 5 strings, because I wanna do it right and it`s harder to play, because of the attention of not hit or mute. But I like your videos.
