On bass Keith Richards (in addition to lead guitar); although Bill Wyman claims the main riff cell is his, he does the organ there and Brian does the mellotron and other guitars; Jimmy Miller on maracas; and yes, Charlie plays on the "toy" portable drum set. He has the guitar/sitar and one in Nashville tuning (in octaves higher); the latter perhaps influenced by Ry Cooder or Gram Parsons.
That bassline is some badass whiteboy voodoo.

Keith Richards, baby!
i love this. All Bass players and drummers please take note.
This is the greatest rock song ever written and performed. It’s rock and roll perfection. It’s so bright and energetic with great lyrics and nothing that pulls focus from the overall band performance no dramatic solos or anything just a straight up band tapestry. I wish we could have the guitar and keyboard separated as well

Brilliant song and that middle part when he sings it’s a gas just sounds like the Sixties. Those notes were perfect and it’s so catchy. Keith just hit the right notes!

Damn, that bass and drum track is funky!
Way back in the early '90s, I was in a band playing lead guitar. One afternoon, when we were playing at a party, we decided last-minute to add "Jumping Jack Flash" to our set. Our bass player was not familiar with the song, so I sat with him and showed him what to play. This was long before KZread, where you could locate isolated tracks for faster learning. I am proud to say that, after listening to the isolated bass track, I was pretty much spot-on with what I suggested your bass player payed. 😏

Good grief, Bill himself only claims he was playing the (very basic) riff...on the PIANO, when Mick and Keith showed up (again, that's straight from Bill). If true, and it very well could be that he was hammering out a few notes that formed the outline of a riff, he didn't write the song (big difference). Also, they didn't sit down right there and record it. It was later, after the famous "gardener waking Mick up" incident that the song was written, and recorded shortly thereafter. There is very little evidence (that I'm aware of) that Bill put up any fight about the credit other than mentioning the above story publicly once or twice. I'm sure Bill was frustrated from time to time over the years, but he knew his place...and became a very wealthy and respected musician because of it (the only way that was going to happen). Could they have thrown him a bone and given him a third of the credit? I suppose so, but I doubt many composers would have under similar circumstances. And, that ain't the way the Stones work anyway.

Yea, me too. I have the separated tracks and the bass is a lot easier to play than most people on KZread are showing and it sounds way better to me to play it just as it is on the recording. So if you have two guitarists in your band, play the bass part just like the recording, it sounds way better in my opinion.
Excellent!
Keith Richards played acoustic guitar and distorted acoustic guitar on the Rolling Stones' 1968 song "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Richards achieved the song's original sound by recording an acoustic guitar through a tape recorder until it sounded like the end of the world. He also played two guitars layered on top of each other, one in open E tuning with a capo and the other in Nashville tuning.
Keith and Mick wrote this masterpiece entirely at Keith's home, Redlands in an all night session where Keith was trying out new sounds by playing his acoustic Hummingbird guitar through one of the first available Norelco Philips cassette recorders. By putting the microphone inside the guitar and turning it up he got that distinctive overdriven acoustic guitar riff played high on the neck with a capo. It was a unique sound that gave his relatively mellow acoustic guitar an exciting aggressive edge that he loved. Keith wrote the first verse and the refrain himself with Mick fleshing out the rest of the verse's lyrics. Jumpin' Jack was actually Keith's gardener, Jack Dyer, who Keith had nicknamed "Jumpin' Jack" for the way he hopped around doing his landscaping work around Redlands ...Jack surprised Mick doing his morning chores with his rubber boots on in the wet grass walking by the window where Mick was sitting inside. Surprised by the sloshing sound, Mick said "Who's that?" Keith answered "Oh that's just my gardener, Jumpin' Jack" ... "FLASH!" Mick reacted and the song was created. Keith's first verse "I was born in a crossfire hurricane" refers to the night he was born during a WWII bombing run the luftwaffe made on London. When the sirens sounded, Keith's mom was shepharded off to the protection of a bomb shelter where Keith was born, underground amid the vibrations of the exploding bombs. Instead of bombing London that night they dumped their bombs on Keith's home town, Dartford, demolishing and leveling his home with the cradle meant for newborn, infant Keith still in it. Above everything else, Keith is a survivor as well as a songwriting and innovating guitar genius.

I’ve tried it on a Casino (a very similar guitar) and it sounds identical. The right hand Chanel chorus work and the higher part of the solo sound more like a tele to my ears and the triplet strums at the end of the chorus don’t sound like standard, open G, D or E tunings.
