    Ah! The elegant simplicity of rock and roll!
    Brian's great riff is one of he best of all time and virtually no one plays it correctly. You got it right here. The Teardrop Vox that Brian probably played it on has pickups that are said to be similar to a Strat's.
    Thanks.

    Played that song at every dance in my Junior High school band when it was released. Had all the notes right but knew it wasn't quite exact. Very popular with our crowd but haven't thought about it in decades. Hearing your excellent breakdown of this finally hits it spot on.

      Song is based on an old gospel tune, but the Stones added that absolute killer riff (one of the greatest riffs of all time of course). Based on what Keith says, Brian probably came up with the riff which is why Brian played it (Keith said that whoever came up with the riff generally played it) with Keith doing the guitar solo and the rhythm work including the acoustic playing. So there were definitely a number of hands involved in coming up with this song, but that riff is the thing that really makes it great.

      The abundance of excellent Musicians in British Rock scene areas,
      contributed to the assembly of several great groups.
      From Greenie and the Mac,
      to Ronnie Lane assembling some great groups,
      the presentation of excellent tunes was a collaborative effect.
      The USA delivered the Blues to the Brits,
      they returned the Tunes with an imported flavor.
      John Lee saw it and collaborated with Brits.....
      The ability to exchange tips on tunes,
      created some lovely examples......

We played around Ft Benning, so we had a deal with all of the EM clubs on the base, playing for all the boys going overseas. (We were only a year away from it ourselves)But the Army paid good, and paid with good checks. There were about 6 of these clubs and we could have a gig almost evry night. Summer of 65-66. We were Decembers Children, (Real original) There were probably several 100 of them.

      I struggled to find the Combination that was working for Brian and Kieth.
      A friend and I were attempting to play this with acoustic Guitars,
      that seemed to just never produce the sound that Stones Recorded.
      14 year old Hormones simply do not get how the
      blend of a two guitar twang can produce the effects that
      Chet Atkins was capable of generating.
      The ability to understand Music Theory helped .
      But by then Brian was gone,
      and I had traded off that Nice Gibson Acoustic......

    Ha! I always played it the same way on the G an B string down at the third and fourth fret, but I always knew it wasn't quite right. And I LOVE all the reverb on this track, I guess that was a big studio plate back then. I use hardware (Strymon BigSky) and software (Waves Abby Road Plates) emulations when I want that kind of sound on a recording. Those sound good, but it's never quite the same.
    This song was the Stones' first original song issued as an A-side single, and their first original song to hit number one. It's signature early Stones, really the sound and attitude that defined them.
    EDIT: Their first number one with any song was the Bobby and Shirley Womack penned "It's All Over Now". Womack originally opposed letting them record it and Sam Cooke talked him into it. That decision made him a rich man, and he later said the Stones could have any song they wanted.

    It took me a few years too to realize how he was doing that riff…Brian Jones really loved those repetitive riffs early on…he kind of did the same thing on Get Off My Cloud as far as repetition but it was much lower in the mix. The Last Time, is a direct ripoff of the Staple Singers THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME in the chorus, look that one up! But the guitar riffs the Stones do are totally different and their own . Good example of the Richards- Jones guitar duo before Taylor and Wood took over. Thanks.

    “Mick and I knew by now that really our job was to write songs for the Stones. It took us eight, nine months before we came up with “The Last Time,” which is the first one that we felt we could give to the rest of the guys without being sent out of the room. If I’d gone to the Rolling Stones with “As Tears Go By,” it would have been ‘Get out and don’t come back.’ Mick and I were trying to hone it down. We kept coming up with these ballads, nothing to do with what we were doing. And then finally we came up with “The Last Time” and looked at each other and said, *let’s try this with the boys. The song has the first recognizable Stones riff or guitar figure on it* ; the chorus is from the Staple Singers’ version, “This May Be the Last Time.” We could work this hook; now we had to find the verse. It had a Stones twist to it, one that maybe couldn’t have been written earlier-a song about going on the road and dumping some chick. “You don’t try very hard to please me.” Not the usual serenade to the unattainable object of desire. That was when it really clicked, with that song, when Mick and I felt confident enough to actually lay it in front of Brian and Charlie and Ian Stewart, especially, arbiter of events. With those earlier songs, we would have been chased out the room. But that song defined us in a way, and it went to number one in the UK. - Keith Richards from his autobiography “Life”
    *I guess this makes it clear where the riff Brian plays came from...*
    *Keith wrote it when he wrote the song well before he brought it to the rest of the band*

    Thank you very much for sharing. Could you analyse "satisfaction" like you do so brilliantly ? No accurate material to be found on you tube, neither in print material (and i 'm a big fan, believe me ). Keep on rocking

    Thank you for your lessen!
    But i hear small diverent tune on this song.
    1. When Brain plays the refrain on D cord he plays only to 😂times as he did on a cord and then he Strokes four times only a full beat over all strings!
    Keiths when he started his solo he strokes only one beat on E.
    The solo is play with 3 guitars!!!
    First Brains lick then Keiths second guitare that you can hear clearly and then the last melody in the solo is play by a third guitare!!
    If you hear "Tha last time" without Micks voice, then you can hear everythink I mentions.
    Hope You anderstand my poor englisch.

    I played it wrong too and then a few years ago saw the Ed Sullivan clip and realized it was way easier than the way we all were doing it.
