That opening Riff sets the groove for the whole song. It’s lean and mean! And then it morphs into these psychedelic notes and tones that are brilliant! This is a classic Sixties Stones song. Never gets old! Always picks you up! Great Rock n Roll! Even Lennon was jealous of this song! He liked the raw Rock n Roll power of this song. The Stones at their best!
@@randybackgammon890 It’s the snare from Charlie’s suitcase drum kit - a goatskin covered hand drum with 2 snare wires. It’s recommended that you heat them for a couple of minutes which sends the pitch soaring. Charlie overdubbed his full kit on later.
This is magical. I have memories of reading about Townshend, many years ago, talking about how people should remember the feeling that they got when they heard the opening few seconds of this song, and that his first experience of it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand to attention...
The story of Kieth's guitar on this song is incredible. I'd recommend anyone reading about it, well worth it. He did some weird thing where he's playing an acoustic into a child's recorder at full blast, and doubling it over multiple times to create a crazy electric guitar like sound with reverb. Something like that anyway. Also did it on Street fighting man.

Other songs Keith played bass guitar on were "Sympathy for the Devil", "Street Fighting Man", and "Stray Cat Blues"; as well as on their singles "Jumpin' Jack Flash" "Brown Sugar, Under My Thumb and "Live With Me".

He said ‘What’s that?’ And I said, ‘Oh, that’s Jack. That’s jumpin’ Jack.’” Richards revealed that he and Jagger created ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ after Richards came up with the title that morning. “We had my guitar in open tuning, and I started to fool around with that.

Should be the theme of a show, especially at 0:37 and 1:15. I really want a CD version of this without compression. I can tell it's a bit muffled by lossy compression.
Keith plays every guitar on the original Jumpin' Jack Flash, including the bass guitar. Keith also wrote the refrain and the first verse. This is very much a Keith Richards song.
You are correct, Keith’s bass isn’t as fluid as Bill’s but I think he does a great job on JJF as well as SFM and sympathy. Brian only played on this live twice, once at the NME Awards and the other for the Rock & Roll Circus.
@@georgepapabeis2964 Yeah and a lot of those vintage suitcase drum kits recommend heating the goat skin on them for a few minutes to get the best sound - I tried it on a goat skin hand drum and it sent the pitch soaring! You can see why it jumps out of the mix like that - plus it’s on the cassette track so it’s also pretty distorted. Charlie overdubbed a standard kit in the studio but I read an interview with Jagger at the time where he said they recorded the cassette track at his house then overdubbed to it in the studio 😳
Exactly. And it sucks the way they play it live (other than a couple of very early recordings that exist that were in line with the original recording).
Multiple acoustic guitars, played into a cassette recorder (among other things). Gonna be kinda hard to reproduce that sound on stage, particularly in a stadium setting.
It's no surprise, then, that Richards did exactly what he did on 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' when it came to the bass as well - he took over. Wyman was absent from the session and so he couldn't object to having Richards playing the electric bass, the only electric instrument on the track.
You think Bill would have successfully objected to Keith playing the bass part? It's just like the songwriting credits...it was "almost" completely a closed shop, and everyone knew it and accepted it (because there was no choice or, because like Charlie, they knew their role and relished it). The Stones are Keith and Mick, surrounded by musicians who can achieve the sound that they (mostly Keith most of the time) are looking for. Bill, as fine of a bass player as he is, could have left the group at any time and there'd have been no drop off. Wisely, he waited until he was a very wealthy man.
@@jernigansaintthomasphiland1240 Yes...When you find yourself working with time proven geniuses, who made you famous and wealthy, you don't question what they do. You provide what they need and play what they ask. It would be stupid and foolhardy to do otherwise.
This is excellent, but the piano kind'a obscures the guitars a bit too much. I'll keep looking for the isolated guitars... maybe someday someone will upload just the guitars. I was playing in a band waaaaay back in the early-mid '90s. We would intermingle covers with our originals. "Jumping Jack Flash" was one of the covers we'd play. Of all the cover bands I'd seen, none of them ever played the correct guitar parts. I think I was the only one out there playing Brian's solo as close to 100% accurate as possible.
It never ceases to amaze and amuse me that some people like to believe that Keith did not write the guitar hook for Jumpin Jack Flash, Just listen to it... The riff is almost the same as the opening riff to I Can't Get No Satisfaction only turned inside out. It is incredibly obvious that the same guy who dreamed Satisfaction composed the lick in JJF... Unless the Jones worshipers want to claim that Jones and Wyman somehow got inside Keith's dream and wrote Satisfaction for him as well.. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha By the time this masterful composition was committed to vinyl this was definitely NOT Brian Jones' band. At this point Keith had fully taken on the role of musical director and chief writer giving Mick a brilliant platform to prolifically write some of the most inventive and clever lyrics ever in the genre of popular Rock music.
@@vigorkomar7296 More Trynka lies from his ridiculous book. Do you have any idea how stupid you sound rattling off his fantasies. There is a video of an interview where a BBC reporter with Brian and Mick and Brian cheekily criticizes Keith and Mick for writing Satisfaction and Jumpin Jack Flash...Two songs that have very similar sounding guitar hooks. You people are absurd. Paul Trynka lied to you.
Keith and his pathetic attempt at historical revisionism. Brian Jones founded the band,named the band, but never played on any recordings? Keith is full of crap.
The first guitar 🎸 you hear at the start of the song 🎵 is Brian playing a Les Paul thru a Vox AC/30 - and is most definitely electric. Think you'll find Keith's layering of his guitars 🎸 were all acoustic but electric guitars 🎸 were definitely in the final mix.
Think it's all Keith on guitar. Brain added melotron. Use to think the twiny 12 string sounding bridge was Brians. Sound like his style. But not. Keith's slide work on Begars Banquet sounds in style simular to Brian's. Now the yeah Yeah version might have Brian playing some guitar.Accually I am mistaken. Bill plays organ at the outro. And the great bass lines are Keith. In fact Keth plays bass on some of the Stones most famous songs. Now if you believe Wiki Brian plays electric Rythem guitar.
Keith played at least three guitar tracks... Brian ...zero. Jones was out to lunch without a menu... he was still alive but he was a non functioning human being by the time this number was recorded.
@Parachute Wyman There is no harmonica at all on Jumpin Jack Flash. The harmonica-like drones you hear around 2:51 is an organ being played by Bill Wyman... By April 1968 Jones was so drugged out and drunk it is doubtful that he could have even known what side of a harmonica to blow into. Brian would only occasionally come to recording sessions in 1968, and when he did show up he was pretty much useless according to Mick. "He wouldn't turn up half the time and when he did show up he wasn't in any condition to do anything...We had to baby him...It was very sad... He just wasn't functioning as a musician" Keith played at least three guitar tracks ( two accousics and electric with various alternate tunings) and bass guitar on JJF .Having also written the first lyric line of the song, the melody, the hook the chords and most of the coda. Keith is also credited as Producer. This was very much Keith's song.
@@williardbillmore5713 There is a harmonica, it is double tracked which may be Brian. There is a keyboard part after played by Bill Wyman. As to Brian’s contribution on guitars on this song, it is uncertain. In April 1968 Brian was actually still a functioning member of the band albeit not as interested as he once was. Jimmy Miller who produced Beggar’s Banquet credited Brian with playing flutes, saxophone, Mellotron on the album. Brian plays on the following tracks on Beggar’s Banquet: Street Fightin’ Man - Sitar and Tanpura (confirmed by Keith) Jig-Saw Puzzle - mellotron (confirmed by Keith and Jimmy Miller) Dear Doctor - Harmonica (can hear him on the demo which is live) No Expectations- slide lead guitar - Confirmed by Mick, Keith, others Prodigal Son - harmonica Stray Cat Blues - Mellotron Child of the Moon - saxophone (confirmed in an interview with Mick and Brian from May 1968 - not on the album, but recorded during the same sessions). Possibly: Factory Girl - possibly Mellotron set to mandolin setting.
@@williardbillmore5713 Mick tends to conflate the later years as a blur but it’s probably 1969 he’s referring to as Brian didn’t show up for most of the Let it Bleed sessions such that his only contribution to Let it Bleed is autoharp on You Got the Silver and some drumming on Midnight Rambler

@@williardbillmore5713 Mick tends to conflate the later years as a blur but it’s probably 1969 he’s referring to as Brian didn’t show up for most of the Let it Bleed sessions such that his only contribution to Let it Bleed is autoharp on You Got the Silver and some drumming on Midnight Rambler
