I wonder if that's why, when they play it live, they change the key, because Keith didn't want to play it in the key it was written in.@@jamesjames9275
jagger is such an utter genius with lyrics, these lyrics work on multiples levels all at once, like a good python sketch- theres actually like 3 jokes running simultaneously, the humour and wit jagger pulls off, no-one can match.
ABDOLUTELY AGREE. THIS is the only version I'll listen to-it's GOLD. Every live version I've ever heard turns into a straight Chuck Berry song, and they play it too fast and in a different key, I believe. There's no swing to the live versions, and they'd be better off playing one of their Chuck Berry covers than playing the same live version that they've done over and over again which loses so much from this fantastic studio version.
I recall reading an interview with Keith where he said practically every studio recording the Stones did had an acoustic guitar on it somewhere in the mix. Thanks James James!
i reckon this is one the stones very best songs,under rated, and some trivia- it has the exact same groove / tempo, in the same key as 'get it on' t rex, also- its kenney jones on drums not charlie, and mick t doesnt play on this song, ronnie does even though its over a year before he joined the group, and mick t was still in the band.
Look for the original demo version on RUclips, recorded at Woody’s house. The Stones’ final version kept most of that demo recording intact. Keith laid a new lead part over the top, but most of the track you hear on the IORR album isn’t the Stones.
Good one. Would love to hear how he began, if he had lessons, and his 3+ light bulb moments that took him to his level. RUclips is great but you only get drips of info and everyone seems to use different terms which are confusing. I learn allot here by watching all of JJ's subtleties.
The acoustic is played by Ron Wood, I think its the only guitar from the original track that they recorded with Jagger at Woods house. The story goes as I have read it from Keith's book is he wiped all Ronnies other parts! Wood was not in the Stones yet .
am i the only one who much prefers the live versions? they're in a different key, B i believe. i still can't find a single YT tutorial vid on the live versions ...
JJ so right that acoustic jells it... i heard keith once offhandedly remark it might be Bowie on 12 string acoustic who stopped by.. was this ron woods studio they worked it up right b4 he joined? Bowie may have been doing diamond dogs same time where he decided to do most guitars diamond dogs sounds like open G garage guitar... anyway cheers mate
Apparently, the "official" line up for this song is Kenney Jones on drums, Willie Weeks on bass, Bowie on backing vocals, Jagger singing, Wood on the acoustic, and Keef on all electric guitars. I buy all of that except the Keith part. I'm sure he's doing the chugging shuffle rhythm part, and the chunkier counter rhythm that's also on electric. I'm dead certain that's Wood on the stinging fuzzy lead part. Sounds like his lead guitar tone from that period. I'm certain of it. Doesn't sound like Keith's playing.
I disagree, I think all the electric parts are KR style and sound. Here is a quote by RW from 1982 regarding the recording of the song "Mick (Jagger) and I worked out I Can Feel the Fire and after we'd done that, he said, Help me with this song 'cause I wanna see how it turns out. So, say on a Tuesday evening: two guitars - Mick and I - and Mick singing lead vocal and David Bowie and myself on backup vocals. Then I overdubbed the rest of the instruments last and it sounded like a good demo. So the next night, we wanted to put it in a more presentable shape so we got hold of Kenny Jones who plays the drums on the actual record. Ah... I ended up with just my acoustic guitar that I laid originally. Keith replaced - RIGHTLY SO - the guitars that I'd done electrically."
smackfoot21 I agree, definitely Keith on lead. The licks are typical of his in the period. And for the IORR promo clip, they recorded a new backing track - yes, Mick’s vocal is LIVE for most of that clip, until the bubbles come - which was certainly Keith on lead, and he plays many of the licks very close to the studio cut. Not definitive proof, but close enough for me.
@@williampontarelli7258 Quote from Ronnie Wood: "That was recorded in my house in 1974. In Richmond. The original tape was made there in my studio with Willy Weeks on bass, Kenney Jones on drums, me on guitar, and David Bowie and Mick on vocals. And Keith said, 'I've taken the precaution of wiping all of your guitars.' And I said, 'Oh, mate. This is the guy I'm gonna have to spend some time with. I suppose I better get used to it.' I said, "But you forgot one thing, Keith. You forgot my 12 string." And he said, "No. I left that on." So that's still on there. It's still got a flavor of the original recording."
@@williampontarelli7258 take a good look at the faces with Keith Richards live..it's about that same time the face is farewell concerts coming up when rod Stewart would be jetting off for America and yes you can definitely see when Keith was jamming with them and this is probably exactly the time when they were at Ronnie's house.
hey James, I've been waiting for this acustic part along time!! Thanks! Is Keith on the acoustic? I thought I read it was Bowie ??? Don't know how true that is... thanks James
Yes it's Ronnie on the acoustic. I have read that Mick Taylor didn't like this song and didn't bother overdubbing any parts on it (he was already halfway out the door anyway and doesn't appear on this and two other songs on IORR).
Also, Ronnie wrote this song and gave it to the Stones in return for one of their songs on his solo record. The music video for this song, of the boys in sailor suits, was shot in June 1974 and marks Mick Taylor's last appearance with the band in video and photographs. He would leave at the end of November.
>>> He would leave at the end of November. Most ill advised job move ever. Taylor was a full partner of the band, not on salary. He had a 1/5 equal share of all revenue (excluding Mick and Ketih's songwriting, of course). Ron Wood was just an employee, on salary (probably a very good one) up until 2005. Taylor had an easy lucrative job. I know that he was bored, but c'mon, there are worse jobs to be bored at. And the times have not been good to Mick Taylor. He's apparently broke and really needed the offer from Mick the last few years to come up and play on a few songs at their shows.
That and the lack of writing credits, disrespect by Keith including wiping of his parts, ill-treatment by Keith personally (He was o'ding once and Keith hung up on him) as well as his overall boredom with the Stones' music and the fact that they hadn't toured for all of 1974 and weren't looking to tour until June 1975, which was almost 2 years off the road. Plus, if we're being honest, Taylor had become just a little egotistical and thought he had outgrown the band and would become the next Eric Clapton after he left.
One of the best Stones songs.
Yes, which is surprising given that Keith had nothing to do with writing it.

Lirycs and vocal line!!!!!
Crazy what Mick and Keith can do with a few cords and they nailed it.
Acoustic guitar + Stones = Happiness
yea the acoustic does glue the track together...such a cool track.....you rock james james
One of my FAVORITES from The Stones, but only in studio version... Never heard them do this proper LIVE.... and I've seen them 4 times.
ABDOLUTELY AGREE. THIS is the only version I'll listen to-it's GOLD.

Je l'ai écouté des milliers de fois !
James James your channels great and your playings right on the money ....Your Videos are a boon to generations Love from Northern England
I Dont care what people say, Ttricker your one of my favorite guitarist of all time no BS !!!
I always enjoyed the acoustic part because it's pretty high in the mix. Also very satisfying to play those strum patterns. Thank you James!
Stones were so good at using acoustics in their songs.
Another great lesson here! Every chord played clear and precise. Thanks for sharing.
Man love watching your lessons, thanks so much and such a great song.
Beautiful guitar
Great upload ,great guitar ,great song,good job.
This is a great version!
Great job! Many thanks! 😎🎸
i reckon this is one the stones very best songs,under rated, and some trivia- it has the exact same groove / tempo, in the same key as 'get it on' t rex, also- its kenney jones on drums not charlie, and mick t doesnt play on this song, ronnie does even though its over a year before he joined the group, and mick t was still in the band.

Only way this could be better is if you wore a sailor suit and your music room started filling with suds towards the end. Rockin’!!!

Alors pensons à rehausser la position de Charlie, d'entrée de jeu !
L;earning a lot from you man.........thanks for your time and teaching
カッコイイ！
Very impressive....
Thank you 🙂
Another instance of the Keef A7 chord. Always liked this rhythm part. Probably their last great album.
Some Girls and Tattoo You are too good to dismiss !
They had 3 more good albums and Emotional Rescue has some really great songs, too.
Yea, I love all the "eras" and i m in and out all the time ....but over the last few years I have been digging 78' - 88'
LOL

good stuff, another good one thanks.
Awsome song to learn! Thanks
Richards kills it in this one.
That was fun hope your shoulder feels better
Thanks man. Fun play-along
My guess Michael wrote that one love it.
В колхозе, студентами под акустическую гитару пели этоу вещь в том числе. Правда пьяные все были, на английском по трезвому стеснялись.😄😅

FANTASTIKKKKKKKK OKEY
Nice
Got a 96 Cobra, laser red convertible, black leather, they made 13. 60 k miles. But I don't have that shirt!
am i the only one who much prefers the live versions? they're in a different key, B i believe. i still can't find a single YT tutorial vid on the live versions ...
yah!!!!
brill
E cord should be playing those suspended double stops - I bet they played one track like that - with a low pitch double stop lick.
I never knew Bowie is on this track!
JJ so right that acoustic jells it... i heard keith once offhandedly remark it might be Bowie on 12 string acoustic who stopped by.. was this ron woods studio they worked it up right b4 he joined? Bowie may have been doing diamond dogs same time where he decided to do most guitars diamond dogs sounds like open G garage guitar... anyway cheers mate
The acoustic def holds that song together.
*** THE ROLLING STONES ***
Pretty smooth strumming . . . take out all of the bleeding licks from Ronnie and Keef and this could be a campfire song. :)
Super playing! What's the chords for that little walk down that starts @ 4.23? Its really cool.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎸
My ADD has me looking at that bass on the wall. Short scale? Do you like it? Thank you for breaking this down. I like your take on it.
is this the last GREAT Stones song??
I hear the riff at 4:22 more as A, C#m, F3, A, then back to E?
Is that an Epipone acostic..RocknRollflat5
That’s a Gibson.
Hey James how long have you been playing? Nice cover btw
Since about 1982.
Since about 1982.
Since about 1982.
What's the story behind your J-200?
One of the few guitars I've ever bought new. Traded a J150 and a 70s LP Custom for it in about 2002. Nobody wanted 70s Customs back then. :)

@@jamesjames9275 Not only that but Ronnie in an interview confirmed Keith wiped all his guitars but the acoustic part, in case there's only doubt.
Le bain d'amour stonien.
Nice!!! Didn't Jagger play acoustic on this one?
Ronnie said he played the acoustic, and that Keith meant to wipe it and replace it, but he never got around to it.
Ronnie wasn't in the band.Mick Taylor was

Ron Wood plays the acoustic.
Mick on elec. rhythm, Willy Weeks on bass, Kenny Jones from Faces on drums- isn't Ron Wood on acoustic 12- string?
Yes it's Ronnie on the acoustic. I have read that Mick Taylor didn't like this song and didn't bother overdubbing any parts on it (he was already halfway out the door anyway and doesn't appear on this and two other songs on IORR).

Mick T has said he needed to leave because he was afraid his drug abuse would kill him. I can't call that a bad decision.

The acoustic soft section of the song. What is the name of the third chord? I.e. E,A, ?,?D,A. A little help there please?
There's G and a B in there. E7 and A7 as well.
smackfoot21 At 0:29?
That's an A.
James James Thanks James. Is it just a bar from g to e at fret 5 and 6 fret d string? A tough one to hear.
The song is terrible live. Probably because the acoustic guitar is missing.
