GREAT tutorial! I have to learn this song for a solo live gig next weekend and you just made it so much easier. Not only playing it correctly but made it easy to learn I’m increments, great teaching style especially in the intro. Thank you!
Mate, your guitar sounds so clear and well defined. Again, your delivery is precise, well delivered and well paced. Your passion for excellence shines through my friend. cheers tweed.
I stumbled across this tutorial by accident. Have always loved the song. Your commentary reminded me of something important ... Keef is the world's master riff-maker, but he also has a very creative melodic sense. You're absolutely right that his unique bits make the song his. Great video!
After following your tutorial religiously, I practiced Love in Vain for about a year, and had the piece down reasonably well. But I just couldn't get the notes to ring the way you do, at all. Last month I decided to upgrade my guitar, and bought the same Taylor grand auditorium koa/spruce guitar that you used in your recording (and that you recommended in the gear section of your website). What a difference! Now when I play Love in Vain, the notes ring and sustain wonderfully. So thanks not only for a wonderful tutorial, but also for an awesome gear recommendation. I'm making another donation to your site!
If you were doing a Shawn Mendes song, I'd not say this. Give credit to the writer, the original artists, and the culture which spawned modern music. The Stones were very heavy into Blues, they understood what they were doing and what it was all about. I used to hang with their keyboard genius Nicky, and he brought me to Cockers place. Conversations were enlightening. The best I can say is to learn more than just notes and melody. Nice to have a 'clean' pickin lesson, but the originals didn't think like that. It felt good, and sounded good they recorded it. Technique? A year to learn a basic song? Dude, Soul is what you play from Heart. Learn it, then toss it so you put your own sig on it. Nice to be clean pickin, but tone is in the fingers. These old school players could take a cheap 100 dollar guitar, and make it sing. When my Martin was stolen, I went to a pawn shop and bought an old Harmony for 50 dollars. I did many gigs with it, until I replaced it. What makes the audience jump, and stomp their feet? If you are some kind of artist, then learn what the genre holds. Listen to the old guys, the originators. We all owe them.. we owe them our modern music. Without the old Blues, we'd be 'Singing In the Rain,' as the Soul of the week. Black music brought you 'Love In Vain.' The originals were badly treated, learn the ROOTS, of the Blues. Show respect to those who changed music in the world forever.
And you my fine Canadian friend are classic too, Never a hint of over inflated ego, always on point with enthusiasm, instructions and information without all the Yakkity yak. In a time where misinformation, fear and lying seems to be common place, you stick to your ability and just keep it real by giving it away. Thats about as real as it gets. Thank you for that. cheers ..
This is really excellent. Such a great song, I totally agree it's one of their finest. One of my favorite bits of Mick's vocals as well, timing is just perfect for my ear. I don't need to say more about Keith such a good guy & such a great guitar player. Love it when they stay in the blues groove. Thanks a lot for this excellent lesson! Dave in the Adirondacks 😎
I've been practicing guitar for about a year. Since a few months after I began to learn the basics of guitar I have been practicing Robert Johnson's version. During my regime of practice I've included and immersed myself almost everyday with the song. A month or so after beginning practicing Johnson's version then I began the 'Stones version... I'm still trudging through both of em' (both playing Johnson's and 'Stones versions and listening to many a band's versions).... Watching your video today has no doubt enlightened me. I am sure it'll help propel my practice of this song (all versions). I was mostly playing the versions without forming chord shapes arpeggio like and just moving fingers to the strings frets. I mean I have practiced arpeggio, but still I am limited in knowing many chord shapes and the ones I know still limited in motor memory. Now though I'll be challenging myself more so to practicing the way you've taught here. I am sure this practice will be the way to do on other songs too. Thanks for the boost!
As usual, Andy, everything you do is brilliant. Perfect playing, clear explanations, some history and great enthusiasm for the piece. You are the best. Thanks for this great lesson.
Man...thanks for this one! I have always loved this version from the first time I heard it, especially the clean guitar intro. (I also like the final verse change: "The blue light was my baby...and the red light was...my mind". That's different than the original -- The blue light was my blues, and the red light was my mind.) I've been stuck at around the advanced beginner/mediocre intermediate guitar player level for 45 years. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever see myself playing this song. Now thanks to this video I've got the foundation and just need to practice it to really nail it. Thanks again.
Live version with Taylor on lead on Ya Yas is one of my favorites. Thanks for showing me how to play it. I know most of Keith's open G stuff. I'm surprised I never learned it out right. I fiddled around with it, but the little licks you point out showed me how to get it down.
Great video as always! I appreciate that you always drop some interesting information about the song you're teaching, but do so without beating around the bush. Thank you!
That was a great walk-through lesson, Andy; enough to think I can l can learn to play this great song ... one of their best. Bought your Tab on MusicNotes, thank you. 😊
Not talking about this particular one. Your all lessons are brilliant. I learned 'the rain song', 'over the hills and far away' and many more from your lessons. I'd request you to make some lessons of 'Allman brothers band' songs like 'seven turns','mellisa' etc. Thank you.
I am a pretty hopeless guitarist but I have now more or less mastered this song thanks to you! By far the best tutorials for learning full songs properly. Many of them are too hard for me but you give me inspiration and I am now moving on to 'Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You'. Donation has been sent - well deserved!
I just got the intro down and it was a great pleasure indeed. I'm very grateful. You really point out the nuances that make all the difference. I've been listening to this song for 30 years and I know it intimately, never imagined I'd be able to play any of it. I'm throwing a big tip in the tip jar. Look forward to the Angie and Wild Horses tutorials.
Gabriel Adler Both tutorials are great but Wild Horses is fairly straightforward...The Angie tutorial gives you amazing insight into how profoundly KR understands how to move people with minimalistic flair...
Hey there , I'm still playing this song correctly after taking your tutorial many years ago , lol ... just wanted to say thanks again , your tutorial was important and necessary for me to get it correct , thanks again !!! ...
I have been trying to learn this song for a really long time. You really nailed it note for note. I don't think most people can appreciate the absolute beauty of this acoustic masterpiece. I know that Keith played Gibson acoustics for the most part, but as a Taylor fan, I think the tone (414?) really shines through.
Re. my comment below....managed to figure out the Stripped version of this song...which is my preffered of the two. Thanks again! You Sir, are a great teacher!!
The complex part, I find, is singing and playing it at the same time. I don't usually have any trouble doing so, but the timing at 7:30 took some time to finally get.
The accuracy of your playing is great but it can be frustrating. But your the best Acoustic Guitar Player I've ever seen. Thanks. I play a good guitar and your lessons are time consuming and a fun way to spend the day.
That has to be the best I've seen as far as detail goes. I'm with you on this. I've an old Stones Song book & This is written in Bb Maj. Relative G minor. Thanks again.
It took me 3 mths, but finished it today. Now just need to play it more fluently. Wonderful song to play, never got bored with it. Thanks Shut Up, for making this tutorial, very much appreciated, will have this for life. Also, soloing licks. Do you have any recommendations.
What a coincidence! I was just working on this just this weekend after listening to "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out". Didn't realize until then that it was a Robert Johnson song, it sounds so "Stones-ish". Thanks!
I cant believe i have stumbled across this song tutorial. I remember listening to get ya yah yahs out (thinks that's the correct spelling) after school in the early seventies thinking how I would have loved to be at that GIG in MSG NY. The recording is raw - feed back and stuff and there are a few bum notes from Bills Bass, but that's what makes it so natural and the atmosphere! Especially during Midnight Rambler is electric. Gotta learn this. Thanks man.
Yet another one I've been playing slightly wrong for the last year. Thanks for all your patience in putting these videos together. The incredible specificity is much appreciated.
I've looked at a few of your video's and one thing that I think is neat, is when you find something out about a song you didn't know while working on the videos, I think thats kewl and it shows the professionalism of how you work on these... Also, I went to listen to the original and couldn't get a few seconds past the start of the vocals LOL, but I like the feel of it, so I'll have to listen in order to see if I really want to work on it ,,, LOL
Thanks man. I played this song first by figuring out what I thought sounded good & fairly close by plucking strings. My version went D to D7, slight walk up to G to A7 to D. Back to A7 to B minor to G to D. While I can make it sound pretty plucking in the style of Keith, I appreciate you posting this video so I can learn the original song from the record. Thanks again.
I love this song! The version on Let It Bleed is great, but the one on Get Yer Ya Yas Out is my favorite. The Ya Yas live album could be the BEST live album of any band of all time! Anyway - thank you so much for posting this lesson. I just could not figure out how Keith played it - 'til you showed me. 1
Thanks for this lesson, I always liked this song, so now I have some work to do, to get the voicing of this song down. I figure that once I get this playing style down, this tune will sound great on any decent acoustic. Please keep them coming! RW
Great lesson, I love your enthusiasm for this wonderful piece. I might suggest you look into Robert Johnson a little closer and tell me if you think he's playing 'really standard' 12 bar. No hate intended, you're obviously a good musician with good taste. Take another look at RJ. I think you might be a bit more reverent of his playing if you really listen. The Stones version is terrific too.
Hi man, congratulations, you do make great tutorials, I've already learned a lot. Found you while looking for More Than a Feeling and you just nailed it! Thanks, you're amazing! And we all get better at the day, thanks a lot!
its a very complicated song to say the least, but well worth the effort, its such a cool piece of guitar work,and i must say you have an excellent ear, now if you will excuse me ,I gotta go practice practice practice,thank you and keep teaching
If I closed my eyes I'd swear it was Keith playing that.Brilliant lesson, Like Another Person pointed out,"Robert Johnson", You Didn't Know. Yet you play it Brilliantly.Oh Well Who is Keeping Score.You did point out some of Keith's finer pieces of playing which in the past have gone by without another thought. Great sound, There was everything to like about this. Thank you Sir.
I don't know how you manage to discover all the details to a song like you do but I thank you for sharing them , you've really helped me because by myself I am unfortunately unable to pick out all those details from just listening to songs no matter how many times I listen to them ... but after I've studied with you I can hear and play them !! ... I wish very much to be able to play as correctly as possible the Stones 95 version of Sweet Virginia with all it's details , especially the acoustic scale runs that Keith adds into it , I've struggled with trying to get Keith's part exact for almost a year now and have not yet succeeded ... I wish you could show me how to do it , I'll practice until I get it correct if you make an instruction vid for it , the later version with all the different acoustic sounds in it !!! ... thanks in advance if you will do this , t's much more complicated and difficult than the original ... again , thank you for all you've helped me/us with so far , you really are extremely talented , accomplished and skilled !! ... btw , I'm 65 and have tried my best to play all my life , I just don't know how to become any more skilled than I am - I think I'm just limited by birth or genetics or something , but I'll always keep on trying , lol ...
Great tutorial. Thanks again. I just found an older song I listened to when I was a kid, it's Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. You should totally add it on top of your mountain of requests :)
Wow, you discovered it when researching this tutorial. Cool, and congrats. It is indeed one of Keiths best. Love it. Check out his version of it on the Stripped sessions studio version. Keiths wonderful walking between chords. .
Ok man, you're an amazing teacher and a great guitar player but how's possible that you don't know that this song is a Robert Johnson's one! Everything (blues, rock'n'roll etc.) belongs and comes after him and all the delta old Blues. You should definitely check out more and listen those great artists to understand that ;) thanks btw for your great lessons!
BROOKS39 I don't get why you can't hear the capo on the 3rd fret on the record. Kieth only doesn't capo when he does it live and adds a walk down on the low E
Pezzo favoloso e riesci a rendere semplici li passaggi complicati. Il tuo è un canale davvero unico e devo dirti che con il tuo modo semplice e chiaro, mi hai dato la possibilità di migliorare il mio modo di suonare in generale... conoscendo "licks" che altrimenti avrei avuto difficoltà anche solo a trovare. Mi piacerebbe, se possibile, che facessi un video su "Sweet Virginia" degli Stones.... Carissimi saluti dall'Italia

First, thanks for the excellent tutorial on Keith Richards version of Love in Vain. I'm actually a fan of the Stones but I lost a bit of respect for Jagger/Richards when I noticed years ago they put their names against Love in Vain and Stop Breaking Down (another Robert Johnson song they covered) as if they wrote the songs! Normally, the original artist is acknowledged as the song writer on the record and maybe something like 'rearranged' is credited against the newer version. But like on most of their records when you scroll down the song list, you'll see Jagger/Richards against Love in Vain - probably why you, like most people thought they wrote it. Anyway, thanks again.
You seem to confuse things. First, I do not recall every thinking Love in Vain was J/R song. I had a copy of the record in 68/69 and the British version credited Robert Johnson. Second, at least in the 60s and 70s Johnson's songs were thought to be in public domain (like folk songs). That was legally changed only ~2000. Indeed, I remember the original edition of Get Yer and it had the song listed as traditional in J/R arrangement. So I suggest you go easy on your righteous indignation and relax.
GREAT tutorial! I have to learn this song for a solo live gig next weekend and you just made it so much easier. Not only playing it correctly but made it easy to learn I’m increments, great teaching style especially in the intro. Thank you!

Great lesson, thanks. Love your enthusiasm for Keith's chord choices. It's infectious!
you're guitar sound is so crisp and clean and perfect. makes my heart feel so warm and safe. you're an excellent teacher! thanks for sharing! :)
After following your tutorial religiously, I practiced Love in Vain for about a year, and had the piece down reasonably well. But I just couldn't get the notes to ring the way you do, at all.

They never claimed they wroted the song. They performed and recorded the song, and that's it.
If you were doing a Shawn Mendes song, I'd not say this. Give credit to the writer, the original artists, and the culture which spawned modern music. The Stones were very heavy into Blues, they understood what they were doing and what it was all about. I used to hang with their keyboard genius Nicky, and he brought me to Cockers place.

Show respect to those who changed music in the world forever.
Beautifully taught ... love the intricate detailing ... and yes, it shows how amazing Keith was and is.
Back when he was Keith before he turned into KEEF. ya know
Keith and Mick means Mick Taylor. He made all of them up their game.
@@bobjones5011 No. This was just when Taylor had joined . Let it bleed is all Keith
When I see his fingers it's amazing that he can even play.🤙
And you my fine Canadian friend are classic too,
Never a hint of over inflated ego, always on point with enthusiasm,
instructions and information without all the Yakkity yak.
In a time where misinformation, fear and lying seems to be common place, you stick to your ability and just keep it real by giving it away. Thats about as real as it gets.
Thank you for that.
cheers ..
As much as you have to give credit to the original, I think Keith really fleshed the song out. And that's a great tutorial. Thanks.
This is really excellent. Such a great song, I totally agree it's one of their finest. One of my favorite bits of Mick's vocals as well, timing is just perfect for my ear. I don't need to say more about Keith such a good guy & such a great guitar player. Love it when they stay in the blues groove. Thanks a lot for this excellent lesson!

You are absolutely right, it is the most perfect song in many ways-esp. the first cycle. BRAVO!
As usual, Andy, everything you do is brilliant. Perfect playing, clear explanations, some history and great enthusiasm for the piece. You are the best. Thanks for this great lesson.
Man...thanks for this one! I have always loved this version from the first time I heard it, especially the clean guitar intro.

Bought your Tab on MusicNotes, thank you.
😊
I love the sound of this guitar! Great song, both versions, and good lesson.
Your classic. You play it perfectly with feeling just like they did it. Great sound.
I listen to your playing for entertainment while I learn. Thanks again for all the fun, and for showing em how it should be done.
Not talking about this particular one. Your all lessons are brilliant. I learned 'the rain song', 'over the hills and far away' and many more from your lessons. I'd request you to make some lessons of 'Allman brothers band' songs like 'seven turns','mellisa' etc. Thank you.
I am a pretty hopeless guitarist but I have now more or less mastered this song thanks to you! By far the best tutorials for learning full songs properly. Many of them are too hard for me but you give me inspiration and I am now moving on to 'Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You'. Donation has been sent - well deserved!
I just got the intro down and it was a great pleasure indeed. I'm very grateful. You really point out the nuances that make all the difference. I've been listening to this song for 30 years and I know it intimately, never imagined I'd be able to play any of it. I'm throwing a big tip in the tip jar. Look forward to the Angie and Wild Horses tutorials.
Gabriel Adler Both tutorials are great but Wild Horses is fairly straightforward...The Angie tutorial gives you amazing insight into how profoundly KR understands how to move people with minimalistic flair...
Very well stated! Quality over quantity!
Hey there , I'm still playing this song correctly after taking your tutorial many years ago , lol ... just wanted to say thanks again , your tutorial was important and necessary for me to get it correct , thanks again !!! ...
Thank you! Somebody who finally knows what they are talking about giving Keith the credit he deserves.
love how much you enjoy this song, so do i. great lesson
Man, thank you very much, you've made me cry happily
I have done it… extremely proud, thank you good sir for the lesson
Love it... When I discovered Let It Bleed it fascinated me. Such a good album
I have been trying to learn this song for a really long time. You really nailed it note for note. I don't think most people can appreciate the absolute beauty of this acoustic masterpiece. I know that Keith played Gibson acoustics for the most part, but as a Taylor fan, I think the tone (414?) really shines through.
Re. my comment below....managed to figure out the Stripped version of this song...which is my preffered of the two. Thanks again! You Sir, are a great teacher!!
Another great vid as always. I love those ringing open notes. It sounds so complex but is probably one of the simplest songs you do. Cheers!
The complex part, I find, is singing and playing it at the same time. I don't usually have any trouble doing so, but the timing at 7:30 took some time to finally get.
The accuracy of your playing is great but it can be frustrating. But your the best Acoustic Guitar Player I've ever seen. Thanks. I play a good guitar and your lessons are time consuming and a fun way to spend the day.
Thanks for showing us this, I'd have never figured it out on my own. It's all right there in the first position.... amazing.
Fabulous, hits all the notes just right. Thank you *very* much!
Such a great tune. Ry Cooder playing the mandolin. Makes the song
That has to be the best I've seen as far as detail goes. I'm with you on this. I've an old Stones Song book & This is written in Bb Maj. Relative G minor. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial!... wonderful!... sounds so clean and beautiful!... a big help for us not-very-skilled guitar players!... thanks
It took me 3 mths, but finished it today. Now just need to play it more fluently. Wonderful song to play, never got bored with it. Thanks Shut Up, for making this tutorial, very much appreciated, will have this for life. Also, soloing licks. Do you have any recommendations.
Very nice mate. Well played.I love the way Keith chops down on it live. From a Brit blues drummer.Peace.
brilliant lesson!! really easy to follow and you make things simple. thank you
What a coincidence! I was just working on this just this weekend after listening to "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out". Didn't realize until then that it was a Robert Johnson song, it sounds so "Stones-ish". Thanks!
Best acoustic guitar lesson on RUclips, for all tour lesson , more please
I cant believe i have stumbled across this song tutorial. I remember listening to get ya yah yahs out (thinks that's the correct spelling) after school in the early seventies thinking how I would have loved to be at that GIG in MSG NY.

Gotta learn this.
Thanks man.
Great lesson and interpretation. Thanks for posting. You have a lot of talent.
Yet another one I've been playing slightly wrong for the last year. Thanks for all your patience in putting these videos together. The incredible specificity is much appreciated.
Great playing Sir. Love a lesson from you, I got the blues. Another great song from him & Band.
Your passion really makes this lesson!
I've looked at a few of your video's and one thing that I think is neat, is when you find something out about a song you didn't know while working on the videos, I think thats kewl and it shows the professionalism of how you work on these...

+Anthony Miller Thanks Anthony, yeah I find the back story on all these songs really interesting. cheers
First song I learnt, and it was so satisfying to play
You need to do an entire cover just like this. I’d literally buy the track
Thanks man. I played this song first by figuring out what I thought sounded good & fairly close by plucking strings. My version went D to D7, slight walk up to G to A7 to D.

Anyway - thank you so much for posting this lesson. I just could not figure out how Keith played it - 'til you showed me.

Just learned it yesterday. Great lesson. Thanks a bunch
Thank you for a great lesson! This really helped me get the song down.
Thanks for this lesson, I always liked this song, so now I have some work to do, to get the voicing of this song down. I figure that once I get this playing style down, this tune will sound great on any decent acoustic.
Please keep them coming!

Great tutorial, you should do one for "Don't think twice, it's alright" by Bob Dylan.
There really is not a single good tutorial on RUclips for that song. This guy would nail it, I'm sure.
Fantastic lesson. Thank you for putting this amazing song within reach... almost. Looking forward to practicing this one into the wee hours.
Super teacher, congratulations from Guatemala
Fantastic. Please add a Mick Taylor slide tutorial to add to this song. Love your playing.
very good lesson thanks for that. and indeed the sound of the guitar is beautifull.
Thanks for another great lesson. Hope you do more Stones songs ! Maybe prodigal son, factory girl, you got the silver. All great tunes on acoustic.
Great lesson, I love your enthusiasm for this wonderful piece. I might suggest you look into Robert Johnson a little closer and tell me if you think he's playing 'really standard' 12 bar. No hate intended, you're obviously a good musician with good taste. Take another look at RJ. I think you might be a bit more reverent of his playing if you really listen. The Stones version is terrific too.
It takes awhile but with a little effort you can play this great blues song. Great biues song by the way.
Thanks Mark, especially for the D7 nuance at 12:00!!!
Vary cool i picked this up in a hour thanks for a new vary cool song.When you play this i can hear Johnsons vibe coming out .
Hi man, congratulations, you do make great tutorials, I've already learned a lot. Found you while looking for More Than a Feeling and you just nailed it! Thanks, you're amazing! And we all get better at the day, thanks a lot!
+Jesus Amores By the way, if it fits, bring us Tuesday's Gone, it would be awesome!
Thanks for posting this!! It took me a few days but I've got it.
its a very complicated song to say the least, but well worth the effort, its such a cool piece of guitar work,and i must say you have an excellent ear, now if you will excuse me ,I gotta go practice practice practice,thank you and keep teaching

I wish you could show me how to do it , I'll practice until I get it correct if you make an instruction vid for it , the later version with all the different acoustic sounds in it !!! ... thanks in advance if you will do this , t's much more complicated and difficult than the original ... again , thank you for all you've helped me/us with so far , you really are extremely talented , accomplished and skilled !! ... btw , I'm 65 and have tried my best to play all my life , I just don't know how to become any more skilled than I am - I think I'm just limited by birth or genetics or something , but I'll always keep on trying , lol ...
Like always, excellent job on the tutorial!
Great tutorial. Thanks again.
I just found an older song I listened to when I was a kid, it's Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.
You should totally add it on top of your mountain of requests :)
Thank you for this excellent video. I've got it nailed, thanks to you.

Thanks for a beautiful lesson
Wow, you discovered it when researching this tutorial. Cool, and congrats. It is indeed one of Keiths best. Love it. Check out his version of it on the Stripped sessions studio version. Keiths wonderful walking between chords.
.
Ya did it again. Great transcription cheerz and thank ya😎
You are a great teacher!
Great lesson; always top notch!
The best advertising a Taylor 214ce-K DLX could possibly get, they should offer you a sponsorship!
So good ... so well done ... many thanks !
Ok man, you're an amazing teacher and a great guitar player but how's possible that you don't know that this song is a Robert Johnson's one! Everything (blues, rock'n'roll etc.) belongs and comes after him and all the delta old Blues. You should definitely check out more and listen those great artists to understand that ;) thanks btw for your great lessons!
Wow, this is very impressive playing!
Outstanding! Thank you.
this is soooo great. thanks so much!
I only ever knew the Ya Ya's version. No Capo. But hey this is great. Thanks for sharing!!
BROOKS39 I don't get why you can't hear the capo on the 3rd fret on the record. Kieth only doesn't capo when he does it live and adds a walk down on the low E
i sing ur praises. So great that someone of ur abilities is willing to share knowledge & time. I love the sound of that G. Is that a mahogany Martin?
Thank's for lesson 🙏🧡
Magnificent lesson!!!!
When i play this im never sure if its 6/8 12/8 or 4/4 now since you pointed out the intro ...anyway thanks happy xmas
Amazing, dude. Thanks!
Pezzo favoloso e riesci a rendere semplici li passaggi complicati. Il tuo è un canale davvero unico e devo dirti che con il tuo modo semplice e chiaro, mi hai dato la possibilità di migliorare il mio modo di suonare in generale... conoscendo "licks" che altrimenti avrei avuto difficoltà anche solo a trovare. Mi piacerebbe, se possibile, che facessi un video su "Sweet Virginia" degli Stones....
Carissimi saluti dall'Italia
Thanks brother....

Great tutorial, very easy to follow. Could you possibly do a lesson on Dear Mr Fantasy, please?
First, thanks for the excellent tutorial on Keith Richards version of Love in Vain. I'm actually a fan of the Stones but I lost a bit of respect for Jagger/Richards when I noticed years ago they put their names against Love in Vain and Stop Breaking Down (another Robert Johnson song they covered) as if they wrote the songs! Normally, the original artist is acknowledged as the song writer on the record and maybe something like 'rearranged' is credited against the newer version. But like on most of their records when you scroll down the song list, you'll see Jagger/Richards against Love in Vain - probably why you, like most people thought they wrote it. Anyway, thanks again.
You seem to confuse things. First, I do not recall every thinking Love in Vain was J/R song. I had a copy of the record in 68/69 and the British version credited Robert Johnson. Second, at least in the 60s and 70s Johnson's songs were thought to be in public domain (like folk songs). That was legally changed only ~2000. Indeed, I remember the original edition of Get Yer and it had the song listed as traditional in J/R arrangement. So I suggest you go easy on your righteous indignation and relax.
Thank you very much.
solid lesson best ive seen thank you
Nice lesson. THANKS!!
Wonderful lesson thanks so much
