Quoteduke richardson why not bring them on and really perform that song in all its glory. I've been a big defender of Keith's fingers over the last 18 months, but that CYHMK opening is a finger workout. Go back to the last time they did it, I think it was '03, don't remember. He pulled it off OK, but that sting just wasn't there. He was playing with a clean sound, as opposed to the studio ve

"Skills"? Taylor, by far. I love Ronnie's slide playing and sometimes prefer his loose slide style to Taylor's, but he just isn't as skilled. Keith, while not really good at it, can make it work. Besides the Let it Bleed stuff, Keith's slide makes Jigsaw Puzzle work, and Taylor and Jones probably couldn't have done it that way. Even Jagger's slide on BOMH is good in its own way. Th

Quotemarianna the Stones are featuring not just one, but two, guests for San Jose that are well-known guitarists (Raitt, Fogerty) I was unaware of this! But in this case, If I'm Mick Taylor, I'd rather hang out in Bonnie's dressing room and swap some slide licks (Hey now!) They actually do have a similar vibrato on their slow blues numbers. Fogerty? I can picture it and I welcome it, I just

I drive for a door-to-door airport shuttle service. One of my passengers today, a 19-year old clean cut kid named Eric, comes waltzing out of the terminal with a Stones shirt on. He had flown in from Burbank (near LA), so I asked him if he was at the show. He was, and he was blown away by the performance. He paid $450 for some nice seats, since he felt it would be his last chance to see them,

I've scoured youtube trying to find the radio interview with Ronnie at the time regarding the gig with Diddly. When asked for general impressions of playing with Diddly, Ronnie said that "if I played more than one chord, he's like (low-voiced black accent here) 'Uh, you lost me at 'da crossroads, man'". It was hilarious. Anyone remember this interview?

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 Jagger actually uses it more than I thought. The last breath of "Moonlight Mile" of course. But more than that - in recent albums he does it on "Already Over Me"; on the 'Oh Yeah's' in "Saint of Me". Just sayin.. Technically, the 'vibrato' on MM isn't a true vibrato. He's using his lungs to make the effect, not his diaphram (sp?). Har

There's some light vibrato on some of the falsetto parts of "Worried about you". There are a couple other tunes where he does a falsetto note and uses vibrato on it. Maybe Saint of Me, on one of the "I said yeah"s before the chorus, he raises the "yeah" to a falsetto and cuts a little vibrato there. Nothing heavy, thank god, but it is there.

If you have a handle on the basic notes that are being played, but it still doesn't sound right when you try and replicate it, it might be all in the bends.
