There is a few hidden gems on that album. Jigsaw, factory girl, prodigal son, salt of the earth. Maybe not overlooked by fans but I never hear them on the radio. Jigsaw is one of my favorite stones songs of any album. Thanks for the video great work as always JJ

Yes, Salt of the Earth is Keith at his best.

Beggars Banquet: one of the best albums EVER made...and thanks James for the lesson.

This was the first stones song that got me listening to them. In fact, beggars banquet was really the album that got me hooked. The atmosphere on that album is really something.

One of my favorites too. Jagger seldom gets enough credit for his lyrics. An early example

Yes! Top 5 Stones for me, JJ! What a song, what an album...

Just love this era of the stones

You're leaving no Stone unturned.

@@jamesjames9275 Yeah. Maybe my favorite Stones album, and I love this song.

Great , definetely a MICK...always one of my favorites, DYLANESQUE lyrics all the way with a British slant...great s.ide by KEITH as you demonstrated on another Vid...Thanks.

Beautiful song. Always makes me cry, don't know why

I love your channel - especially the Stones stuff - please keep it coming!

cool I love that old acoustic stuff they did

This song is a hidden gem 💎

Killer Tune ! Thanks for another spot on lesson/run through 😎

Keith must have been tired on this one. No open tuning, no missing strings, fairly easy. Ok, I'm in!!

no not really other than one he played slide guitar it wasn't up until just after Let it bleed when he really discovered ripping off the low E string and open G tuning for the most part... if you watch JJ's lessons you'll notice I Let It bleed shocks for the most part Keith was using the hell out of a capo almost all over that whole album it was just after yeah yeahs that you would begin to see the open G on all kinds of stuff.. at least that's just my dumb truck driver observation🙃🤔🙄🚛☕

I love this song. The eerie backing vocals and flute? or mellotron? are so cool. Another favorite/great one from this time period with similar instrumentation is "Child of the Moon".

A lot of that otherworldly stuff is slide

The "flute" sound you hear is Brian playing a mellotron set to flute setting, and him pushing the pitch wheel of the mellotron to get the notes to unnatural pitches to match and roll with Keith's slide, and the 'tron is drenched in echo as well. What you think are backing vocals is actually the melltron flute, just different notes.

that 20 seconds as the melotron comes in, then comes in harder as the bass drops low and jumps back up through the scale, is incredible

Prodigal Son, Dear Doctor, this. Everything from this masterpiece has withstood the test o time.

You should have watched the version I posted years ago.

Thanks, man! I've viewed your other channel for a while now and just learned of this one. Many thanks for these tutorials they're inspiring and help me a lot! I'm 51 and don't play too bad but not a virtuoso either. Also love the Stones!

My absolute favorite Stones song.. thank you for explaining it

Exactly rite greatly appreciated.

Me encanta esa canción...me recuerda cuando iba a la universidad...

Nice playing but really wish i could play that song too!!!

Nice. Those open strings remind me of what I think I hear in 'Salt of the Earth' and 'Almost Hear You Sigh.'

From what I've read about it, it would surprise me if there aren't multiple rhythm guitar tracks in a different tuning and standard and in differing voicings, as James demonstrated, on the studio recording.

James, what is your opinion on Taylor guitars? My sister has one and I like the brightness of it, but it just doesn't have the warmth of a gibson or martin..

I used to have a 415, a great guitar. I’m not such a fan of the bolt-glue hybrid thing they do with necks, though.

Hey PT being that your very experienced playing the upper end acoustic guitars like Martin and Gibson, Have you ever played any of the lower to mid range acoustics that still have solid tops, like Seagull, Alvarez, Breedlove, or even some Yamaha's? your opinion would mean a lot when choosing an acoustic in the 300$ to 600$ range, I am looking for an acoustic for my son but really don't have minimum 1000$ it would take to get him into a nice acoustic.

Thought the rhythm was in Open E? Sounds good in STD so you are probably right. I agree, great Stones tune. Actually the whole album is one of my favs.

Sounds like slide in open E and acoustic in standard to me.

Great!

Hey James, tough loss against Virginia, nice bounce back against N.D, looking forward to the tourney. anyway do you prefer playing a Acoustic or would you rather play a electric? I'm just curious to know your preference if you have one. Thanks James

I'd rather play an acoustic -- as long as it's a good one.

Thank you, well done.

Genial

and the guitar players look damaged.......very nice J twice

I always found this song to be a bit protracted. It seems like it's missing something/doesn't go anywhere. I don't know. Perhaps my standards are too high among Stones songs...
