Bumped into Merry Clayton at the Gardenia nightclub in Hollywood back in the mid-1980s. She was walking out as I was walking in and I just sort of blurted out "Merry Clayton! You totally made that Stones song!" and she said, "Yes, honey, and Mick knows it too!" So many people all these years later, the two things that stand out for them most are Keith's guitar intro and Merry's lifting the whole affair into outer space with her glorious voice.

Used to be a massive stones fan, during the Mick Taylor period.

I think this why so many songs are beloved by The Stones. Their form is pretty solid, but they were written to be played and were played loose and almost freeform so every time they're played, it's never the same way twice so the song is constantly evolving and is a living thing for them. And the best part is when covering it, you can put your own stamp on it!

Dude!!! This is the best video of undressing this song!! Tim’s guitar (that Harmony) sounds superb! Everything about this video is worth saving and really understanding just the genius of this simple arrangement!! Tim’s playing and explanations are so precise, clear and filled with intention and feeling!! From touch to tone, Dude, Tim’s gotcha covered!! 👍

Fell in love with this back when it first came out and still love it to this day. Absolutely nothing better. Keith's guitar drives this song throughout. He really understood what it meant to be a rocknroll guirarist

Great video Tim! The range of dynamics in this song is a lesson in itself. From Keith's fingernail/pick brushing to the full on power of the choruses. The work of a true artist.

Honky Tonk Women in G tuning is another awesome song and one of many songs that showed me just how creative Keith was . People know he's good but if you play guitar , you know how good he really is..Thanks Tim for the this great demonstration.

Your joy of music comes shining through! I'm listening to this in my 12' x 12' shed (my wife calls it my "music studio") in my backyard. I can't really crank the amps but I can at least get it past a whisper volume without angering people.

In the Maton museum there is a 1954 Maton AM3 amp that I sold them about 20yrs ago. I used it for ages having swapped it for a bag of pot from a lad who rescued going up a conveyer into a crusher at a recycling centre. Loving loud music and guitars I live on 3 acres in the Adelaide hills and have regular jams without upsetting others! Love ya work Tim!

Thanks for highlighting Keith's song writing - so successful and so many iconic songs he's written.

It’s so nice to see on your face the joy that I feel when I hear you play. I can only imagine what it must be to play like this.

Hi Tim. You've just blown my head off with that riff!! Freaking awesome. Thank you

An Iconic intro riff that is as timeless as age itself!!!! Sounds so dang good Tim!!! Wow!!! Thanks for being you!!!!!!

I was about to skim past this vid but the sheer joy on your face playing the intro reminded me of when I used to experience that same happiness playing. Thanks for the memory ❤ and the lesson.

I love how you just start in on the finished dish, as it were, and let us decide whether to hear out the explanation. (And I'm guessing after your enthusiastic and well-nigh perfect rendition, EVERYONE is sticking around.) Only 1/3 finished but already one of my favorite guitar instructional videos.

Ron Wood when with The Faces and Keith both just created some of the sweetest rhythms in all of rock. I really feel to play there stuff correctly is just as much a challenge as any shredding. Partly is because so much of it comes out of them, the pulse of their heart and soul. It’s almost like a guitar fingerprint.

Thanks for this vid. Keith is one of my favorites. Have seen them twice almost 30 years apart. You and Keith share a pure joy for playing and it shows!

I've said this before but when you're in the groove and jamming it can get spiritual if you know what I mean. I just close my eyes and am carried away with the music. I grew up in 60's and 70's rock and roll and it's branded my soul. Thank You.

This is my favorite Stones tune. I loved the melody and Mary Clayton vocals were awesome! When this song comes on, it gets cranked!

That fast lick you did that you said wasn't really the type of like for this song was actually brilliant. Especially the way you ended the solo. It actually would sound good played only once like you said. It shows the difference between the simple yet effective licks and the more sophisticated runs and you can see how the more simple pentatonic fits this music better. Still that lick had feeling and melted my face at the same time.

It sounds so much better with the open tuning. Keith is the riff master.

When i heard this song for the first time i was very young. Im nearly 71 now and it still puts me in a very good mental place its a musical drug! Keith's riff is a rush and the fabulous Ms. Clayton is smooth effect! I'm definitely addicted to their version!

Thanks Tim. I love the depth of your stories with these songs. I can't stop listening and before I know it the vid is over!!! Awesome.

Beautiful sounding guitar, Tim! 🙏 (I absolutely love the drums and percussion on this song!)

This is absolutely the best guitar piece ever written. It gives you a real sense a storm is coming, I can picture dark skies, increasing wind on the horizon every time I hear it

Love that song! A timeless classic. I have a Bad Cat Celestion 12" speaker in my Vox AC15C1. That is one amazing speaker. They worked on it quite a bit to get the low end clarity of a ceramic along with the bell tone high end of an Alnico blue. I clipped both bright caps. Definitely improved the high end. It is still a very chimy amp even with bright caps clipped (C4 & C8).

I am not a musician but I shared this video with a good friend who has been studying guitar for years, the other reason I shared it was he is highly skilled Electrican.

I was at 6 shows, the great thing was that tickets were $12.50 each for tickets in the Red Section of MSG. Great video Tim ☮️🎸🥳

TY! This song has captivated me for over 50 years... I heard it around age 5 or so.... It's a truly amazing piece of work...

As an Aussie, love the reference to the Maton, far more renowned now for there Acoustic/Electric guitars. The clip of the Stones, Keith rocking out on a Junior instead of a Tele. RIP Charlie Watts. You referenced playing high up on the neck, a VERY Keith thing to do. Also Keith's love of Chuck Berry. When he inducted Chuck into the Hall of Fame, he admitted he lifted everything Chuck ever did.

This was awesome to watch, I can see the buzz you're getting out of playing this classic, it's just beaming out when you're hearing /experiencing what you're putting in.. All in real, a n d surreal time .. Aha!.. 'The realm of Keef compels you.!.' 🤘😁

very informative! Tim, it really shows that you love what you do the minute you strike the guitar!

Tim, awesome content you put out! I’ve been a lifelong fan of the Stones, but only recently started to cover them. Keith’s open tuning, capos and 5 string open tuning drives me nuts! But I’m having the greatest time stubbornly sticking to standard tuning despite Keith’s original recordings. Thanks again!

great intro -sounds fantastic, also interesting to hear the lines played by a pro who plays every note in time and close to the beat - the Keef feel is very laconic

You can tell by watching you having so much fun that this is classic rock. That smile says is all folks !!

Thank You for giving a shout out to Maton. We live about two minutes from Maton's current factory here in Melbourne. Maton previously had a smaller factory about fifteen minutes from here. Bill May took us on a tour of that factory back in the early 1980s and it was a real eye opener for me. Maton has always been about making quality hand crafted instruments using the best materials. This results in guitars that are incredibly playable and produce wonderful tones. It's mid range acoustic models are incredible value for money. It's high end acoustic models, in particular its 12 string acoustic guitars are the equal of anything else made on the planet. I imagine that Keef! would possibly have learned about Maton guitars after seeing The Easybeats. Harry Vanda was especially fond of Maton guitars. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
