When it comes to rock music, there are riffs that sound cool, and then there are riffs that define cool. Keith Richards' riff on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" falls into the latter category. Released in 1971 on Sticky Fingers, the song is a seven-minute blend of rock, blues, and Latin-inspired jam. But it’s that opening riff, delivered with swagger by Richards, that makes this track truly legendary. Let’s dive into why this riff is not just great, but downright kickass.

Keith's guitar on CYHMK is probably my favorite moment in the Rolling Stones entire catalogue, and over 300 bootlegs. My parents must hate that first 2mins 42 secs more than any other space of time because I would play it on guitar over and over again. It's my ringtone, my alarm clock, my justification for the Rolling Stones being the greatest band ever.
Charlie was always exactly in the pocket. Great, great player. Had great touch for what was needed on each track.
First time I've heard of it.
Doesn't impress me at all.
Not to worry: I may come back in two months time and tell you how it's grown on me and all that...
😅 😅 😅
Keith’s guitar is the heart & soul of the Rolling Stones sound! ❤
🎯Thie enitre video is on big complentary riff! - Well Done!🎯
I was taught in formal classical music and rock music alike, silence is as important as the notes. Keith is the best example of this idea applied to rock music. To hear Keith's syncopated silences done in the very formal theatre of romantic era classical music, a good example is Chopin's, Prelude in e minor. Interestingly this piece is the same legnth as modern "songs".
Not a big Stones fan, but there's no denying this riff or any number he has blessed us with
Before I even watched this I knew the riff had to be intro to "Can't You Hear Me Knockin" It is THE Epic riff.
50 years on and the opening riff on knocking is still playing in my head. The zipper on my record is broken. The digital recordings just dont cut it.
The drums & mick coming in screaming...!
One of the best videos to capture the essence of Richards, the Stones, and his unique contribution. Keith put the riff in motif. I have a guitar-playing friend, a lead guitarist, that thinks Keith is overrated. He and I have argued about this for years. I make the points that this video makes. I think I will send it to him, maybe he will listen, read the comments, and find mine.
Thank you and glad you like it!
It sounds like you've been defending Keith Richards for a while now! He’s all about vibe and feel rather than flashy technique, and that’s what makes his riffs so memorable. Keith’s ability to create iconic, simple grooves is what gives the Rolling Stones their signature sound. It’s not always about technical skill, it’s about how the music moves you, and Keith nails that every time. Sending this video might help your friend see that side of things. Maybe it'll finally get through to him! Keep It Rolling!
I will listen to keef over more flashy or technical guitarist almost every time. Give me a cool and memorable lick or riff over a speed run of notes that does nothing for me.
Charlie and Bobby Keys came in and killed it on that track.
To each their own in terms of what music grabs them, but for me, as a young child and many years after, it was the riffs & rhythms of the Stones. I’m fairly old now, but perhaps a couple times a year I’ll quite unexpectedly catch the opening riff of one of Keith’s intros and it will still hit me hard
Keit's Gitarrenspiel ist Magie...
besser kann ich es nicht ausdrücken...🎸🎶🎼🎵👌👏🔝💯....
Thanks for this sharing this great clip,mentioned the song Sway,Two of many favorites.🎸🎸🎶🔥💯
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it!
Keith Richards….GENIOUS as a player guitar!😊
......nice. Thank You.
Thank you too! Glad you love it!
100%! As a 30yr recording engineer and GTR player, IMHO CYHMK is the pinnacle of dual gtr work from the Stones!
Guitar was originally a rhythm instrument and Keith carried that forward from Celtic, country and blues. Brilliantly.
Love Keith❤
Normally, you absolutely need subtitles to understand what Keef is saying. However this was the clearest his speaking voice has ever been during an interview
CYHMK is the epitome of the Keith Mick T dynamic
I love that song. Turn the volume up to 11 and go for it.The riff is so dirty and so rock n roll.Then Taylors piece at the end is outstanding.
Slave and Can't you hear me knockin are my 2 fave Stones tune!
Congratulations, very good. João Batista/Porto Alegre/Brasil.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
KEITH❤🎸🎸
Love it! Keith and Mick Taylor jamming together is pure rock 'n' roll poetry. Question: Why no credit given to Bobby Keyes on sax?
Right? He could have at least mentioned Bobby Keys by name
@@tonyfranco7341 Agreed. Ignorance is bliss perhaps?
Great video. Well done.
Thank you,,,Glad you enjoyed it! Keep on rolling!
Keith, the goat
Absolutely fantastic have a great weekend also Monday is Thanksgiving in Canada ❤😊
Arguably the greatest Rock riff since Johnny B Goode
The prototype rock star.
to get that blistering tone what you're hearing is the sound of two 50's tweed Fender amps at full volume
Effina. Get a light weight, resonant Tele. Lose the 6th string. Then tune the rest to open G. Stand back and listen to the magic happen. Thanks Keef.
Keith Richards' best is the rhythm/lead at the beginning of
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and infinitely more interesting than Mick Taylor's contribution to the tune. And Mick Taylor is one of the best blues rocker of that era.
I remember Bill Wyman said something like "it's the notes that aren't played become or are important". The space between. 50 years? WHAT!
While I favor Led Zeppelin and the Beatles; there’s no denying THIS is Rock and Roll
Gimme Shelter is THE signature opening and lead guitar riff of the Rock Era.
The Stones were in their prime during The Mick Taylor years.
IMO the addition of Ron Wood into the Stones was a stroke of genius
In what way?
Mount Rushmore riff. 🎸
great riff my fav , i play it in sandard tuning and it dont sound right but I cant do the M Taylor solos when we play it
Gritty and Loose is an appropriate description.
CYHMK: The ultimate homage to Chuck Berry
With all due & deserved respect for the great Mick Taylor holding up the second half of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", giving it almost a pedestal of its own apart from that one incredible Keith riff, it is worth noting that 5 years earlier a very young Larry Coryell put down a solo on Chico Hamilton's "For Mod's Only" that clearly is the foundation of Mick's solo. Mick took it further, yes, but Larry's must be some of the inspiration.

Well spotted sir!
Great input from Keith’s original playing, but it spoils it a bit to hear MT play “the same he used to” years later with a much different feel than he had in 71.
❤
Amazing Riff to these day, but only 50 % Keith's , the rest is Charlie😊I doubt it would sound the same without him❤
Taylor is def my favorite stones lead guitarist.
It ain’t the notes, it’s the space between the notes.
the song turns into A Samba.
I guess I need to listen to more samba’s
@@NakotaKid-pf3jd well, I read or I heard Keith Richard say that. Antonio Carlos Jobin is one Samba artist that I would suggest.
just like with the beatles and john lennon rock n roll was their cuppa. george harrison n mick taylor were into melody. thats how they clashed but were able to make hits aplenty. it dont come easy and you know it dont.
it was Mother Maybell Carter that Keith got his inspiration from
100% Mick Taylor on the opening solo...
Nothing against Keith but it is what it is
What are you talking about? That’s 100% Keith Richards. That’s his DNA all over that riff. Where do you get your facts from?
Taylor lor is on the other channel, playing clean chords and later he plays the solo
Keith used his guitar pick to pick his butt and wrote brown sugar!!
I thought mic Taylor came up with that riff
It’s open g, classic Keith Richards. The solo is MT.
Correct, the solo, was impromtu, and it has a Santana feel, Charlie was hitting the cymbal thinking the song was nearing an end...but MT did his thing. The others pick up their instruments and came back to close it out. Fantastic song and open rich sound! @@jonjrgensen2390
Listening to Jim Dickinson talk for two hours about that time the stones came to muscle shoals is so awesome. Outside of Mick they might be the least precious major band ever assembled. They did not give a damn about whether their instruments were even in tune.
Too clean live...the nastiness of the studio version hits you to the bone
Who says 4 pack habit kills you? He still going strong smoking all other guitar players.
Isn't that opening riff actually Mick Taylor?
No
@@KenH-oo8zn fair enough.Wasn't sure.There are plenty of of dirty sounding fills you think are Richards that are in fact Taylor✌️
Been a Stones fan 50 years but I can't listen to Mick anymore.
You forgot the 'OF'!
Thank you! And many thanks for watching!
@@RockinRollinOne LOL!
You still didn't fix it!
Keith is for Trump 2024
I don’t know, I think they fully embraced the Clintons. You know something otherwise?
He didn't deserve to outlive Edward Van Halen regardless.
MICK TAYLOR IS WAY BETTER
@@jaytouvelle2359 Keith’s legacy far surpasses that of MT. However, that was not the subject of the video and it’s not a competition anyway.
@@jonjrgensen2390 The only reason I mentioned it they made far best music when Mick Taylor was in the band. They went downhill without him.
How dare you put a Donald Trump ad with this video.
Oh no how awful.
Lol...It's RUclips system puts the ads! Thanks for watching!
BS
Bat Sh!t crazy guitar riff? No doubt.
live just doesn’t capture the studio version nothing will
Nice compilation
never liked him
