100%. Keith's solo is the high point of the album. Of course it may not have been live since the Stones re-recorded several of the guitar parts in the studio.
On a Stones bender due to recent unpleasantries. Fantastic to see this version done correctly. '69 to '72 the universe opened up and gave the Stones sounds from another world to disseminate and make the world a better place. I don't think its possible to recreate this type of magic ... I always appreciate you putting yourself out there with this great stuff.
Absolutely glued to the video for the entire song. It's nice to see someone play who has listened to that song so many times, he doesn't miss a note. Thank you James.
I feel like I'm at Madison Square Garden in NYC in 1969 when I first saw the Stones. Opening acts - Ike & Tina Turner and Terry Reid! Great job- and thanks.
@@MrBluzhound cynical but think Hyde Park revealed the studio over dubbing of ya ya's out of the 3 big ones Live at Leeds and Duane Allman Allman's Live at Fillmore East Ya ya's my favorite!!!
This is an automated message to answer the questions that are going to be posted. 1. He uses a Peavey Vypyr 100w modeling amp. Buy one and plug a guitar into it. 2.The guitar effects are built in to the amp. If its sounds like a chorus is used, set amp to chorus ect. Easy stuff. 3. Videos are recorded with a camera mic and music is played from an iPad in the room. 4. He sleeps and eats food like everyone else. 5. He learns the songs then plays it. (A guitar player or musician puts work into learning chords and scales and finds that most songs contain those same chords and scales.) 6. He doesn't use a strap because he is sitting.
I got to play this on stage with Jeff Martin from Tea party about 20 years ago. Was so much fun.one of the best stones tunes in my opinion. Thanks for this and as always amazing.
I can remember when you were the only one who showed us how this solo was played. Now probably because it's a Fantastic song other folk started to post their own.Good for you 💯
@@Weshopwizard yeah. My favorite song by the Stones is probably honky tonk women. As a guitarist, that bluesy riff is cool as hell, but Wyman and Watts make that song swing.
I managed to luck out and pick up a 1989 Gibson Custom Black Beauty 3 PU in 2000 for only $1400. I got it because Keith Richards owned a number of them. It's an amazing guitar. It looks like even though this is in standard tuning, Keith is putting on added notes to the E and D major chords to add more coloring. In his autobiography, he actually went into some detail about the nuts and bolts behind his style. He said how he'd learn how to add notes onto chords in alternate tunings and then he go back to standard tuning and do it there too.
This is when Keith was at his best, Mick Taylor kept him playing the best he could this is my favorite live album. I saw the Stones starting in 75 when Ronnie joined the band and about 4 more times after to about 2006? They always did this song but Keith just went at it not %100 no feeling, not like this song back in 69 he was at his best, he didn't put feeling into it after MT left. Maybe because they play it every time on tour night after night. But to me this is the best..... I love Keith, part of my style of playing you can hear some Keith in my playing. I'm a Blues player when the band I'm in lets me do my Blues songs. I'm also a Buddy Guy fan part of my style also. A big Stones fan up in till Mick Taylor left.
After viewing the Hyde Park footage of this song (the closing number that day) feel there was some over dubbing done on the Ya ya's Sympathy How much???! ?????
JJ. I just wanna let you know I played Keith’s solo on this for the first time today. Was it absolutely perfect ? no. But I can follow you very closely. Super psyched man. 🎸🤘🏻 thanks for breaking it down for us on the old channel. Lol I must have reminded it a hundred times. Now gotta dive into Mick Ts ! 😅
Damn it JJ!! I'm still learning after close to (ugh) 10 years. I'm 51, LOVE the Stones and The Who. I mastered Keith's 'Midnight Rambler'' (my favorite Stones tune, studio and live) it's a great scale exercise and once you capo 7, almost impossible 2 hit a bad note. Recently I've been obsessed with learning Keith's part on 'Sympathy...' from 'Ya Ya's'. IMO their finest version (despite the missing verse). The crunchier, chunkier, more overdriven version from Altamont may have been better if they didn't have to shut it down and go for a retake. So, THANK YOU, I'll be jamming with you all nite. My only complaint; There's no Lovely Assistant covering Bill's wicked bass..., he's criminally underrated. Peace and good health 2 u.
Does anyone else think MT motivated Keith to up his soloing game? I can’t imagine Keef playing this fluidly and creatively if not for that young guitar slinger’s presence.
Very good stuff- glad to see that black beauty getting some good use! Do you suspect Keith played a black beauty on this song? I always see him capo'd at 4 on the 1969 tour for JJF and SFM
Thanks for posting this. You make it look easy. Did you go to Stony Brook in the early '70s? If so, thanks; you were a great influence on my musical development!
Corentin Lefebvre Mike T’s solo starts at 4:26. The playing styles are very different, but the dead giveaway is major pentatonic. That’s a staple of his soloing, but not Keith’s.
Throw a bigsby on that thing and play zeppelins cover of Eddie Cochrans “come on everybody” from the RAH .....just kidding do what ever you want I’ll watch and practice! Thank you for inspiration daily!
That solo right there is more proof Page played the studio lead on his dragon tele with a wah in the treble position ,,, Keith doesn’t even remotely emulate the studio style
![KSI - Dirty [Official Visualiser]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VoDh1h1dPUE/mqdefault.jpg)
Best song off one of the best live albums ever. You've hit the top, now you can retire.
Midnight Rambler and Carol are two faves from Ya Yas.
Well said, John.
Lol he did this years back on the PT channel, a few times.
100%. Keith's solo is the high point of the album. Of course it may not have been live since the Stones re-recorded several of the guitar parts in the studio.
Truth - best live album evah. This song is a high point. Then again so is Stray Cat Blues.

One of my favorites, alongside Midnight Rambler, Little Queenie.
One of Keiths BEST solos ever recorded - Thank U
One of my favorite Stones songs......Thank you...
Muy buena versión Sympathy y con pocos medios, felicidades ¡¡¡
I feel like I'm at Madison Square Garden in NYC in 1969 when I first saw the Stones. Opening acts - Ike & Tina Turner and Terry Reid!
Great job- and thanks.
The Friday after thanksgiving (November 28, 1969)?
Don’t forget BB King was on the bill too.
Terry Reid and Ike & Tina were fantastic.
Just love it when you revisit these classic songs. Your lesson on this was perfect! Thanks for doing this again.
All you need is The Stones, Skynyrd and a bit of Paul Rogers, and you're set for life.
I just love every stones you do because you can do it justice
Mick Taylor’s solo on this tune set stage for his tremendous contribution to the band.
I’d say Hyde Park set the stage...turned them into a guitar band, never duplicated.
@@MrBluzhound cynical but think Hyde Park revealed the studio over dubbing of ya ya's out of the 3 big ones Live at Leeds and Duane Allman Allman's Live at Fillmore East Ya ya's my favorite!!!
Agree. The band was very lethargic in Hyde Park. At one point Mick promised the crowd they would get better.

Steve K and he irons and picks out his shirts himself.
Where does he get his glass Coke bottles from though
I don’t believe #5. I am convinced he was born already knowing how to play every song ever written
Standard e tuning for thus version?
He takes tea at three
I got to play this on stage with Jeff Martin from Tea party about 20 years ago. Was so much fun.one of the best stones tunes in my opinion. Thanks for this and as always amazing.
note perfect, Learnt all the stones classics and dee[ cuts from you and by ear, love it thank for doing these all these years
Used to jam along to that version for hours.
This is THE REASON why I need a black beauty in my life.
Amazing. To play this and to this level is my main goal as a learner guitarist.
I remember your old video of this one and how I watched it the whole day until i get i right, great one
I can remember when you were the only one who showed us how this solo was played. Now probably because it's a Fantastic song other folk started to post their own.Good for you 💯
Ya Ya's is the best version of this song. The way Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman make it swing.
Watts is a very non flashy drummer but swings like CRAZY!!!
PATRIOTIC RockaRoller I like the Love You Live version, which puts the song in a totally different light
PATRIOTIC RockaRoller From 69-72, Charlie and Bill were untouchable. And I count Keith as part of the rhythm section in that period, too.
@@Weshopwizard yeah. My favorite song by the Stones is probably honky tonk women. As a guitarist, that bluesy riff is cool as hell, but Wyman and Watts make that song swing.
@@jamesjames9275 The Mick Taylor era was my favorite. It's when the stones were the most rockin in their career.
Pleased to meet you, won't you guess my name!!! Great classic cover.. Thank you, Sir...
Outstanding!!!!!!!
Amazing work as always! Been following for god knows how many years now
Thanks for destilling Keith's part! Mick's Genius dependet on Keith serving that way...
That tone is spot on

Envious of that killer Black Beauty your playing. I’ve always wanted one just like that! Well played 👍
Best version
James my friend..thank you..you are a good teacher for sum of us..keep going..you teach well..just git rite into it without all the talk..
Brilliant, JJ. Thank you.
That was cool!
Awesome
Thanks for posting during this hard time JJ. We’ve been playing a lot more obviously. This is one of my favorite Keith parts 🎸👍
I always wondered why they didn't come back with the last verse/chorus on this version but whatever.
love it - hope you and your fam are staying healthy n safe
You're best yet 🎸
Well done! Thanks.
This is when Keith was at his best, Mick Taylor kept him playing the best he could this is my favorite live album.

This vid does not show KRs mistake made during the Taylor solo. For years of loving this record and song, I still hear everytime I listen to SFTD.
Awesome!
That was great man
Nice work. Really cool. You nailed every nuance. Perfect.

Nice one James.
Nice. ! I see your respecting the Mick Taylor solo. 😊 . You can do it!
Bravo. This helped me forget...stuff. I thank you for that and the fantastic lesson. Incidentally, you're playing in standard, correct?
Yes, standard. Keith rarely solos in an open tuning.
@@jamesjames9275 Pretty sure Mick Taylor took the lead on this one
@@tonyalwayswaiting9953 Not the first solo. You can hear pretty clearly how different Keith's soloing was to Mick T's. Night and day, actually.
Does anyone else think MT motivated Keith to up his soloing game? I can’t imagine Keef playing this fluidly and creatively if not for that young guitar slinger’s presence.
Very good stuff- glad to see that black beauty getting some good use! Do you suspect Keith played a black beauty on this song? I always see him capo'd at 4 on the 1969 tour for JJF and SFM
in open G capo'd at 4^^
Keith played on his Dan Armstrong on this song. I don’t think I ever saw him with his black beauty on stage.
Awesome stuff James 👍
Man I love that Les Paul
Thanks for posting this. You make it look easy. Did you go to Stony Brook in the early '70s? If so, thanks; you were a great influence on my musical development!
Hey buddy, I have a question, where do you buy your tshirts?
NICE axe!
Hi. I was wondering what amp do you use for most of your videos? It sounds AMAZING
Is that a 57 reissue? Is so, what year is it?
It's a 1999, but not a 57 reissue. The third pickup was added later.
What gauge strings do you prefer?
I am adding a middle pickup to my Gibson Les Paul Traditional right now, also have 2007 57 reissue with 3 pick ups
When you break it down you see how much production goes into it. You would not recognize this song by the guitar part alone
no patreon dude
I am debating between the peavy vypr or the katana 100. The katana is a little less. Anyone?
Super !!!
Open G ? Merci
Standard. That solo wouldn't work in open G.
Merci 😊
Are you sure you didn’t stand behind the wall of amps and play that for keef?
Actually, he's a few feet off camera playing it for me.
What were your guitar and amp settings on this one?
I don’t recall the settings, but it’s straight into a Peavey Classic 50 tube amp.
Epiphone or Gibson?
Looks like The Epi Peter Frampton tribute LP.
It’s a 1999 Gibson. The middle PU was added.
Big gain with that third pickup?
I've always assumed this is Mick Taylors' piece. I've always thought the second solo was more fluid and had to be Keith's.
The entire first solo is Keith. Anything anyone says to the contrary is a load of hooey. End of discussion.
It couldn’t sound MORE Keith really.
Is this standard tuning?
Yes.
@@jamesjames9275 Thanks
Dammit. It's not fair you play as well as you do.
Rhythm guitar in the recording a bit out of tune, or am I imagining this?
No you are right.
The whole album is like that. But they are all out of tune so it sounds good and it's the best album of all time
It's to do with the mastering of the recording, if its slowed down then you tend to sound out of tune
Jake Tomkinson Yeah, that makes sense.
I thought it was Mick Taylor's part
Corentin Lefebvre Mike T’s solo starts at 4:26. The playing styles are very different, but the dead giveaway is major pentatonic. That’s a staple of his soloing, but not Keith’s.
No Sympathy for the Devil ....Sorry...he's gonna get everything he deserves.
Lol !
Throw a bigsby on that thing and play zeppelins cover of Eddie Cochrans “come on everybody” from the RAH .....just kidding do what ever you want I’ll watch and practice! Thank you for inspiration daily!
That solo right there is more proof Page played the studio lead on his dragon tele with a wah in the treble position ,,, Keith doesn’t even remotely emulate the studio style
No, but it’s fun to imagine Jimmy played it.
The studio lead is Keith.Bending, tempo and pause between notes is Keith style,nothing to do with Page.
