I love this video actually -- shows why we listen to a lot of older music. We're quantizing everything to death and ruining the feel a lot of times
That's right!
I think the best way of describing Keith’s amazing rhythmic feel is this quote from Charles Mingus about his drummer, Dannie Richmond. “[Y]ou don't play the beat where it is. You draw a picture away from the beat right up to its core with different notes of different sounds of the drum instruments so continuously that the core is always there for an open mind. While you make it live now and then you go inside the beat, dead center, and split the core to the sides and shatter the illusion so there is no shakiness ever. If one tries to stay inside dead center or directly on top of the beat or on the bottom the beat is too rigid on the outside where it is heard. The stiffness should only be felt inside the imaginary center of the exact tempo's core. The top, the bottom, the sides, the back are where my favorite drummers, Dannie and Elvin, play, though differently. They tease the mind by not telling you exactly what everyone knows - where one, two, three, and four are.”
Man this is a brilliant quote! Thanks for sharing
@@ClaudeRuelle I had a feeling you would appreciate! Thank you for the great videos. Love your stuff.
Lots of this is why I actually very much enjoy the rhythm guitar role- there's way more to it than time and playing the right chords, as many people assume. Side note, Keith Richards Live in Boston 1993 (look it up here on YT) is a MUST watch for fans of Keith or just good ol rock n roll. All the things Claude talked about in this vid will be very apparent.
Thanks for your comment, I’ll go check this out!
Keith’s version of Eileen played in Boston deserves its own video
Fantastic analysis of Keith's magic rhythm voodoo. Thanks!!! I'm going to mess around with this too.
Great video!
I really enjoy your videos very informative
Thank you
Thanks a lot! I’m happy you’re enjoying the videos
I love this video. Your content is brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching
Great channel! Subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Keith Richards Timing and phrasing is fantastic. With Charlie watts, who understands his superb guitar playing it's the perfect groove.
I am rythm guitarist Songwriter with my own beat and the Drummers they follow me if they are aible to that. If not....forget it.
This is perhaps the best example of how people go through life half asleep - they would never take the time, energy and passion to do what you did.
Kieth talks about this blending concept. He calls it the “weaving”. Sometimes “ancient weaving”.
Fantastic analysis. I've always wondered how the Stones got their "greasy" feel.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Random appearance of Louis De Funes filled me with joy
Haha glad you noticed! I'm a big fan
The in sync version has Grateful Dead feel to me.
what an excellent video. Funny enough I've been told my whole life that I swing my rythym and/or rush beats. And I've worked hard at playing to a click track to the point where I can control it BUTTTTT... It rarely sounds as good for my songs as when I'm loose. I've even actually tried to record a demo of Beast of Burden before to test sounds and it was terrible and rigid, and this is exactly why. I'm a huge Keith Richards and John Lennon fan and I imagine that a lot of my feel was probably formatively brought on by these two... now with your other video you've really got me thinking that the drums being somewhere between the 'draggers' and the 'rushers' is the real key to keeping things together, Blah blah blah... my point is, this is a fantastic video
Awesome! Definitely his loose sense of time reflects on the overall vibe of his music
Thanks, for sure!
Woah. That's really interesting. Its always cracked me up how low Jimmy Page plays. I tried it once and mannnn..I could feel it in my back.
Yes. Next question.
Music was better when it was less perfect. I agree with you about the Stones - they're a bar band at heart! Your Beast of Burden was quite good - is that in standard tuning?
Thank you! Yes it was standard tuning
Bar bands never have the same sound and swing the beat. Charlie was perfect to give Keith the space to fill as he wanted.
Keith "Charlie is the musical bed that a lay down on"... or words to that affect.
This video is long overdue. Someone finally tried to explain the inexplicable groove The Stones brought to almost every song. If Stones music is quantized, it doesn't work.
How can he actually be good? He has only been playing guitar professionally over 50 years & written or co-written such masterpieces as Gimme Shelter, Honky Tonk Woman, Satisfaction, Start me Up, Wild Horses, Brown Sugar & so many more I cannot list. F- yeah he is good at rhythm & plays some cool leads occasionally too! For more of his brilliance check out his Xpensive Winos material. Do you think guys like Waddy Wachtel & the rest of the winos make music with him for shits & giggles?
Yes there is always a pulse to the Stones..a grid in real RnR is dumb not needed..the feel is in the musicians, thats where the “ROLL” is !
Music theory should be descriptive not prescriptive. Music notation has always had rhythm signature though. He basically plays around the rhythm like a juggler occasionally tossing a ball or stick etc higher in the air for a round or two for contrast... I've always thought of people need a guide whether it's a piano metronome or digital they're not really feeling or aware of the rhythm - it should be instinctive.
Beast of burden MUCH better in your standing version 😊
his right hand is loose and he doesn't think about the way he uses it. so everything he does is just slightly ahead or behind the beat and feels improvised in a way. i would bet his right hand keeps moving along with the groove and he pulls his hand in and out from the strings just feeling it. lots of ghost strumming in different tracks and if you play that way you'll do that a lot. play off between a driving rush and a groovy dragging hesitation.
Polyrhythm... write that down!
I had to answer the question Keith Richards is arguably the greatest Rock n Roll Rhythm guitar player of all time.
Sarcastic, syncopated, Polyrhythmic. I don't believe there's a single guitar player after hearing one bar of the Rhythm you can identify them. Keith Richards certainly is the one!
It's simple: straight beat on the grid doesnt sound as good as natural variability. That's the honest truth..
Yes, since DAWs everyone is right on the grid, but you can lose the human feel.
That’s right!
Is Einstein actually good at science?
Keith doesn't have to try to look cool.
That's right
That used to be so, but for the longest time he's just a charcature of himself, Keith pretending to be Keef.
And for the longest time - too long - it's been Chuck Leavell's Wedding & Bar Mitzvah Band, only featuring some famous musicians. "Let's make the live songs sound like the studio songs." The days of The Stones reinterpreting their songs, reinventing their songs, mutating their songs, those days of creativity onstage are long, long gone.
In 1969 they revamped Satisfaction into a driving powerhouse of s song, with a blistering hot guitar solo and a really funkified jam-on-this groove for a long closer. In 1971, they changed everything, to a I-IV funkathon, letting the sting build to a slow and deliberate crescendo, full energy up at the end. In 2013 the song was back to its early '60s pop sound, "let's make it sound just like the record", just like any other wedding band would do, the bane and banality of new millenia live performance in tow.
Yeah, it's Keith being a characiture of his former self, the image is king, all posed, all choreographed, all so staged, all so fake. Not one note matters because Chuck Leavell has the song. No thanks.
