The opening of the studio take of this song is probably the most ominous, foreboding and evil intro's in all of rock. A close second would be 'Gimme Shelter'. The Stones were so f'n good.

This is the coolest version imo. Makes the song a lot heavier. Great cover!

"You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?...Eleven. Exactly. One louder."

Captured the tone perfectly. Love it

Sooo damn good! Has to be the most powerful version of this song! Hits your chest like a magnum

Can't believe that song is over 50 years old already.

Just want to say big thank you for teaching me all those songs over the past year. So BIG thank you and I wish you all best.

Excellent! Very Many Thanks for the Beginner's tips as well. Very considerate of you and they made great sense. You're a Gent.

real raunchy, this could almost be slash playing rhythm, i love it

awesome, definitely a cool arrangement. I love that Les Paul James, out of all your guitars it's definitely my favorite.

The guitar arrangements changed drastically when Mick Taylor joined. I have a bootleg named Obsidian DL’d from a BitTorrent site and it has on it an early Jumping Jack take from 1968 and I’m sure Mick Taylor is playing lead guitar on it, it certainly sounds like him. In those days there wasn’t that many recording studios and only so many recognised musicians in London. I have heard that prior to joining Taylor jammed with the Stones.

Early 1968??? Mick wasn't in the group yet. He replaced Brain in the summer of 1969. Brain was sack in June 1969.

I know you tend not to do solos, but could you possibly do a lesson on Sympathy for the devil, off of the same live album? I love the solo and the licks he's playing through the entire song, but can't quite figure them out.

This instrument looks like the 1973 2nd Les Paul Custom which I sold some years ago due to being very heavy and cumbersome to play. It had a blond top with black back and gold tone pickups and accoutrements. If this is the one, the player handles it well!

I profoundly disagree about Brian. Had he been "out of it" he never would have been able to play so beautifully on " No Expectations" at this performance. His playing on No Expectations was brilliant at the Rock and Roll Circus.

Its the Johnny Winter And version. The stones and JW liked to exchange tunes.

Good one. I thought that I was the only one who noticed this guitar version of Jumping Jack Flash, at the time before Keith had adapted (and modified) the guitar riff with his adopted open-G style (I believe) by the time of the July 5, 1969 Hyde Park, London concert, in that case capoed at the 4th fret in the key of B. And Mick Taylor and Ron Wood (and for what it's worth, Brian Jones) have played in 7th fret position standard tuning. It's unclear if an open-E tuning is used on the record's main riff but all manner of approaches have been used.

I've always noted the omission of the intro that was always dropped when played live from the time that the track was released, and I suspect that the reason is that it was done in an alternate tuning in the studio. But I still can't believe that it can't be replicated onstage and I always miss that part because it's killer. Jeez, I also never heard anyone ask Keith about this although we all know that the recorded riff's sound was achieved with an acoustic guitar miked overloaded through a tape player for that unique half acoustic/half electric sound that was also used for "Street Fighting Man". No hate on Keith but I doubt that he remembers and it doesn't necessarily have to do with drug use. The amount of work that The Stones have done writing, recording and performing across a lifetime is staggering. "Jumping Jack Flash" is Keith's favorite Stones track and one of mine, too. Thanks for the lesson, your videos are always great.

Thanks, that's what I thought it was. That recording/video was done in 1968 when Keith was still playing the standard tuning version as your video demonstrates. It's unclear if the ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS version has the intro edited out because it almost appears to cut straight to the main riff (for some reason). BTW I've also seen other earlier live Stones performances where Mick sang live to a record's actual instrumental track. But as I noted earlier, by '69 Keith switched to the capoed alternate tuning version. Would you happen to know what guitar part Brian was playing? It appears that Mick Taylor was playing a barred shuffle pattern behind Keith's main riff. I'm also unsure about Ron Wood's part except that I know that he replicates the fill that appears on the record's descending riff. BTW I also understand that it was Bill Wyman and not Keith who came up with the main riff. Thanks again and great job.

Brian played slide on No Expectations. If he’s got a good ear, like Brian Jones did… Even though he was tweaked out on drugs and pills he could still play the slide guitar parts beautifully, as he sat on the floor. But for him to sustain musicianship for rhythm guitar or cello or sax or whatever instrument he chose, it would’ve been a waste of time in the studio, as it already took many many hours of studio time to lay tracks down as they were developing songs.

He is playing the bass guitar sounding rhythm guitar, downtuned very low and then mixed very very low by the Stones. You need headphones or a good stereo system to hear it even here because the Stones mixed him so low when they released the Circus. But he was playing on all songs. He plays a Chuck Berry style rhythm on Parachute Woman.
