Hi! From the same record, another Mick Taylor wonderful solo is Love in Vain. So beautiful!
Alvin Lee "I am going home" from Woodstock. :) Maybe you can make a movie about this guitarist and his tricks and style. That would be great. Your movies are awesome. Thanks for your work. Greetings from Poland.
Mick Taylor was the most fluid, melodic player of his time. Brilliant. Untouchable.
Thanks for this breakdown - also one of my all-time favourite solos. I don't think Taylor had any issues playing in front of Hendrix or anyone else. When he was 16, he walked up to John Mayall and asked if he could stand in for Eric Clapton at a Bluesbreaker gig when EC hadn't shown up. Not exactly someone who lacked confidence in his playing!
He was only 19 maybe just turned 20 when he played that MSG show
Mick is truly one of the best ever. This solo has been a high water mark in my eyes for a few years now.
Great to see appreciation for Mick Taylor: a true underrated great
God have got 2 listen more ,:-0
n we have Keith Richard n Ronnie wood n they r pretty cool ,:-0
Happily Mick is no more underated now.
I’m not sure he is underrated. Those aware of his music & work with the Stones, know he was the bees knees. Always will be.
@@LeonTrotsky6782 I play guitar and now you can find more and more covers or lessons about him on youtube.
Mick Taylor was 20 years old when he played that solo/gig!!!
That's realy unbelievable!
You’re kidding!!
@@reservoirfrog1 kidding? About a 20 years old guy who is doing his first concert with the Stones at Hyde Park, surely not.
@@Methilde impressive
Amazing!
Damn. I rarely, rarely arse to leave a comment, but I have to say... The sound, the interpretation, the twists and most importantly, the fucking groove you put in this solo... Man, thanks for sharing that with us.
YES!! Finally a video talking about the great Mick Taylor!
You got that right ...THE GREAT...MT...
In the 90’s I was privileged to hang out with Mick a few times and went to some gigs. Great musician, lovely man. The Stones lost when he left.
This is the solo that made me stop wanting to be a singer and pick up a guitar - not to mention his solo on "Love In Vain" from this same period.
Well done, I love the Keith Richards solo BEFORE Taylors solo too! Some of the best two guitar interplay you will ever hear on that Ya, Ya,s version.
Me too!!! After all Keef has his tricks up his sleeve... Unforgettable, brilliant solos, like on Sympathy, HonkyTW, Gimme Shelter, etc. ♥️
I could bet that impressing Hendrix would be no easy feat! Mick is one of the best!
There are many country guitarists who would blow Hendrix away, with technique, and much greater repertoires, were they sitting around jamming unplugged in your living room: Danny Gatton, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, many more.
This Mick Taylor solo shows us the Prince of Darkness in all his glory, badness and sadness. Fantastic.
It's the blues influence that makes all these guitar players stand out
Sounds country influenced as well.
Not Page
2 things odd about your comment.
1: Isn't rock derived from blues?
2: How can they all stand out with the same influence?
@@craigcotter7476 every blues musician has their own phrasing everyone has a unique sound of their own Do Albert King and SRV sound the same do Hubert Sumlin and Jimmy Page sound the same do Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy sound the same
@@craigcotter7476 I can't argue with you on the 1st point it's the truth
You perform a great service to beginning and intermediate players, sir, and I don't even know your name. You have my great respect and much gratitude.
I have to agree. That is one fantastic solo, and you do it justice.
Man I love your channel. What I like the most is your enthusiasm while playing the guitar. It must have taken many years and a lot of skills to reach that level. But obviously you love it. Keep the fantastic lessons coming. Rock on.
It's interesting that the three greats of British blues guitar (Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton and Peter Green) first started to get attention as up and coming guitar players during their respective brief tenures as members of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. I would say Mr. Mayall definitely has an ear for talent.
I think Mick Taylor would have gotten far more personal recognition had he stayed with Mayall rather than joining the Stones
What about Jeff beck???
@@magnusparsons5392 True, though he is not usually considered a blues guitarist.
@@magnusparsons5392 having said that, there is no denying he's one of the greatest British guitar players
@@magnusparsons5392 Jeff beck was never in blues breakers
Mick Taylor was unique in his style and his mindblowing deepdive feeling for the guitar gave him the untouchable trinity of feeling,vibe and response.
Thanks for highlighting Mick. Love this song and Solo
I’ve heard Mick’s solo probably a thousand times now and when you pointed out the fact the he went back and forth between both Pentatonic scales (Major/Minor) it then really hit home on why his solo has always been an incredibly dynamic piece to listen to. A well done dissection!
Mick is so underrated, he's one of the greatest guitarist of all time. If you are a blues fan go listen to his song " Slow Blues " you won't regret it ❤️
When you see how many people write : Taylor is underrated, it becomes funny!
Don't forget Marriage Madness with John Mayall!
Good stab at the solo, GP. I saw Mick Taylor join Little Feat in London in ‘77 for an encore, playing slide on a guitar NOT tuned to a chord and damn near blew Lowell George (one of my favourite slide players) off the stage. A very underrated guitarist. The Stones were at their best with Mick in the band
I've been listening to the YaYa's album for over 40yrs now and I have never heard a better blues/rock album. MickTaylors slide work on Love in Vain still gives me the chills, as I am sure it did for Jimi. Taylor was only about 20 years old back in December 1969. Incredible. Reallly enjoyed this video.
Agreed! A very exciting album. I play it in the car very often. I rank it with the live Little Feat album as the two best live albums.
The fact that Keith’s part is so unbelievably good yet still shown up by Mick T says something about how epic this solo is. The two parts combined are without a doubt the BEST guitar solo in rock history (NOTE Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out version)
Also shows that you need a great song & rhythm section to play a great solo!
No better, no best, no top 10. It's your favorite.
1000% correct. I break into tears everytime I hear Taylor and Keith on GYYO. It is the height of rock guitar artistry and beauty. And I've been listening to it for 50 years.
I have two favorite guitar solos and they are both from Sympathy for the Devil - the one you played (awesomely) and the studio solo by Keith which is simply ferocious and I don't think anyone can duplicate, not even Keith himself. It's called a one-off.
You're an extremely good and exiting guitar teacher !
Really enjoyed listening to you !
Have always loved the stones and can’t believe it took me so long to recognize Mick Taylor as one of my favorites not to mention underrated guitarists..Along with Robbie Krieger from the DOORS and Mick Ronson mostly known for his work with BOWIE but also rocked it with Mellencamp
Great work as usual! One my favorite as well. He had some killer solo's during 72/73 live shows as well. Gime Shelter and Love in vain among my favorites from these shows.
You probably know the story how Mick Taylor got fame. He turned up for a John Mayall concert featuring Eric Clapton but Clapton didn’t turn up. At the break Mick approached Mayall and asked if he could play the second set as he knew the licks. He played. Later Mayall attempting to contact Taylor put an ad in Melody Maker and found him. After Brian Jones left the Stones were needing a guitarist and considered a few but Taylor was suggested by Mayall although he may have already played session and jammed with the Stones.
That happened at the Woodhall Community Centre in Welwyn Garden City. Hertfordshire.
At the time he lived in the same street as me in Hatfield Hertfordshire.
Same town as Free's Paul Kossoff and in Paul Kossoff's Street was the home of some bloke who worked for Parlophone, called George Martin
Mick Taylor MADE the Sticky Fingers album! Nobody talks about his work, thanks for this video!
Everybody talk about his work and I suppose that Jagger and Keith where on hollydays during Sticky Finger composition.
@@Methilde No kidding, right?
@@janstan8407 Well, you say that Taylor MADE the albbum. Obviously he is not credit enough, but since he leaves the Stones he don't produce exceptional music, so..
@@Methilde Point well taken. But his complaint upon leaving the stones was that he didn't get song writing credit. You're right though about him not having a solo career. Too bad, I would have bought one of his albums. Ron Wood use to go on solo tours and play small clubs all the time.
@@janstan8407 Maybe also he couldn't support Jagger/Richard life style but I still dream sometimes he don't leave them...
Congratulations on this powerful demonstration! You helped me realize a lot of the little things I adore about Mick Taylor´s playing. His masterful blending of major and minor, especially (Jiving Sister Fanny, another great example).
So many gems from one solo. Thanks again Guitar Pilgrim! Now I need to listen to some Mick Taylor . . . So hard to choose a favorite solo but Prince’s solo from “I could never take the place of your man” is one that always gets me in the gut. I love the way the tension builds with that ascending repetition (not sure if that’s the right term).
his sense, feeling, techinc, the deployment method all are amazing. Slash said he was affected most by Mick taylor.
Really, really solid practical tips, thank you! 💪👍🤘🔥
Mick Taylor is the Goat. hes been my favourite guitarist for awhile now. Stones rule too of course!
There is not many Mick Taylor solos that I can't sing in my head, just a superb player, its amazing the journey his solos actually take you on. Hendrix however was from another planet, an innovator of sound, technique, and theatrics. The Full Package (as proved by the Plaster Castrers)
Bloody wonderful as always Pilgrim….always thought Mick’s Vibrato influence can be heard in so many other great players….John Mayer , John Frucianti etc.
BTW I bet Jimi loved that evening watching Mick playing , just imagine going on set and seeing the Greatest sitting in the audience….wow.
What an amazing guitar player is Mick taylo! I love it!
My favorite lead guitarist of all time
Mick Taylor’s work on Gimme Shelter was awesome, too.
Everything Mick Taylor did was awesome.
The intro to the solo you’re talking about here is a great rhythm fill.
Especially the live version during his time in the band. Before the stones decided to find a feature backup singer for that song, Mick Taylor did with his hands what the original singer did with her voice... both gave me goosebumps.
Mick Taylor didn’t play on Gimmie Shelter that’s Keith doing the riff and solo unless you’re talking about a live version of the song the only tracks MT played on Let It Bleed were Country Honk and Live With Me
Thank you for that great video , you are a really good guitar player yourself, you got the feel for that solo. . Mick Taylor is a master blues rock guitarist and also a master slide guitar player . We have to Thank him for the 5 years that made the Stones golden period. 1969-1974 , Let it Bleed , Get your YaYa's sticky Fingers, Goats head Soup , and Its only Rock and Roll. Love the Brian Jones era too, but the Taylor era made the Stones the worlds greatest rock and roll band.
Many people don't know of all the work he did after the Stones with Dylan, Alvin Lee , Jack Bruce and had his own blues band for 30 years.
I am sooo glad you say this. I have also always thought that Mick Taylors solo on that live version of symphaty is unbelievable good. I like Keiths part too. But he is more cool and relaxed in his play/part. nonchalant. So happy you did this. Thanks 🙂 big ups!
Great video! MT is a true legend.
Young Mick Taylor was one of the best rock/blues guitarists ever... The Stones were at the peak when he was in the band. Very interesting analysis of Taylor's playing you got here. This is one of my favorite guitar solos also!
And Mick was at his best with the stones...
I’ve been trying to get this down for years. Great job!
Another cool thing about this solo is the phrasing. He goes from straight to syncopated, using triplets juxtaposed against 8th notes, and starting/ending phrases on both the upbeat and the downbeat of the measure. And the picking is SO clean, something not a lot of guitar heroes of the 60’s worried about.
Finally, a video dedicated to the great Mick Taylor. Thank you for an awesome video. The next kick ass video should be Mick Taylor, and the next one: Robby Krieger
Mick Taylor and Keith Richards wrote so many legendary guitar parts for the songs on sticky fingers, exile on main street and goat head soup.
they sure did...
You left out Let It Bleed, one of my favorite Rolling Stones records.
@@chipsterb4946 ...and ya-ya's which is also a classic where their guitars sound amazing.
Agreed, THE GREATEST ,most soulful guitar solo of all time (in my opinion)
Defenately a legend, keep it up man.
Thank you GP for doing your awesome version of an awesome solo. I fell in love with this solo many years ago, and regularly re-listen.
Mick Taylor was a big part of my guitar journey. Love him!
Your transcription of "Sympathy for the Devil" is the BEST I've seen anywhere. I've always wanted to find a good transcription of Mick Taylor's electric slide playing accompanying Keith Richard's guitar on "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" version of "Love in Vain". I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Thank you for all your obvious hard work you pour into these videos and transcriptions. God bless.
Yup, Keith and Mick's SFTD Ya Ya's solos are what made me want to learn guitar. I've listened them a bazillion times. Perfection.
when Billy Gibbons opened up for Hendrix..he actually did covers of Jimis songs...now thats bold.
Bold as love
The Moving Sidewalks did Hey Joe and Foxy Lady because they didn't have enough original material to open for Hendrix... Billy gives a great interview about it...
Great solo and great video. One of my favourites isn’t really a solo but the noodling Jimi does before he closes Woodstock with Hey Joe is so cool. I also love John Frusciante’s guitar part during the RHCP intro jam at La Cigale.
Great tutorial and wonderful playing!
MT is my guitar hero growing up. Seeing you pull that solo off from the live Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out really is nice. The Richards Taylor combo was a pair rock and roll needed more of....only 5 years of it, but Stones most formidable rock era, greatest live performances.....when the moniker “Greatest Rock and Roll Band In The World”, came up....they were so hot live, with Billy Preston joining for tours, a brass section.....hot stuff, can’t get enough!
fluid is the best way to describe Taylor at his best...beautiful tone and a pleasure to listen to. love it...thanks Mr Taylor..... and the stones of course
such an underrated guitarist. one of my all time favorites
that sympathy solo is one of the very very best rock n roll solos of them all, and then theres- stray cat, love in vain (slide), rambler, and street fighting man, mick t is awesome on that album / tour.
It builds up from a country lick into a full blown blues jam..!!
You played the solo of my favourite song of all times. Fantastic job. Greetings from The Netherlands.
It’s nice to have someone with excellent taste and ability (you) concur with an old fart (me) that this is the best guitar solo ever committed to vinyl. What a superbly conceived and executed solo this is! This is the Stones at their best, when their playing was so damn compelling.
Love the sound of that Strat. That Hendrix and SRV tone is just great. The playing too ofcourse.
My favorite guitarists of all time are Mick Taylor and Hank Garland...happy to see him getting some recognition, especially from this channel that is one of the best on youtube, the host of on guitar pilgrim has an absolutely fantastic touch on the instrument.
Mick is so underrated
I know he kicks his own ass for quitting the best guitar gig a musician ever had
No more.
The jiving sister fanny solo is also breathtaking full of his trademark guitarstuff
I spent plenty of time trying to get that solo down and never nailed it as you did in perhaps an hour or less. Mick Taylor was the best guitar player the stones ever had. Honorable mention to Brian Jones, who was #2 and a multi instrumentalist.
Loving this....
I know there are overdubs (except for Midnight Rambler)....but I still say that arguably this is one of if not THE best live album ever put out.
Get Yer Ya-Yas Out is definitely my stranded on a desert island CD/Album.
Sure you are no Mick Taylor but you are darn good-exceptional!!
Didn't know JH was at the audience, but always considered this solo a masterpiece of rock n roll guitar. By the way, I was able only to play by ear Keith's solo for this performance. Maybe now with this video I can dream about playing Mike's solo. Thank you mr. GUITAR PILGRIM! Antonio, 31, Brazil.
Thats hot man. Real nice. All harmonious at the start and then transcends
Absolutely spot on, my friend! I have been listening to that Album for 50 years. Your Mick Taylor discussion is very informative. You have spent a lot of time working out his famous solo, and you play it remarkably well. It’s because you feel its nuances, not merely understanding the notes. I think that much of the tension and resolution of repeated bends and phrases , utilised by Taylor, Clapton and others, was derived from the the style of the Great Freddie King. Thanks again for your exploration of the Blues Master and one of my heroes, Mick Taylor. I saw him twice in Australia, in 1973, with the Stones, including Nicky Hopkins, Bobby Keys and Jim Price. It was exhilarating. I saw him again, years later, with John Male. I still remember him hanging a vibrato, and driving his Les Paul into the sweetest harmonic feedback an ear ever climaxed with! An extraordinary musician!
While it’s a given to Stones fans that MT is the best guitarist to have been in the Stones, I would argue that he belongs on the short list of the greatest guitarists ever
No one said those ideas are mutually exclusive...
Best lead* guitarist in the Stones
Awesome dissect of Micks playing wicked cool
I’ll work this video over many times
Thanks
Beautiful playing and explaining! Love it!
I was there. Mick Taylor was unbelievable. Jimi was actually on stage behind the amps. I have dozens of photos. Amazing concert.
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing!
Pick to fingers. Really valuable highlight tip. Lovely analysis as always Thom. Big thanks
Amazing rendition of an amazing solo! Well done! This solo is definitely in my top 3, I think the other 2 if I had to pick would be Claptons solo on Crossroads and Jimmy Page's Heartbreaker solo from June 1972 (How the West Was Won)
What a brilliant video. The usual impeccable playing, perfectly clear and subtle explanation of what’s going on, enthusiasm and vivid visuals. Thank you! Another time it would be great to hear you talk about transcribing and learning longer solos. This was a joy to watch and hear.
You are a great teacher, your excitement about the instrument is inspiring! Cheers!!
What a lesson! Love how you break things down instead of just showing us how to do things note for note! So much easier to apply to your own playing
Thank you! Your videos are wonderful. I learn a lot from them.
I agree with you, that is one of his very best leads. MT brought so much to the Stones. I had the pleasure of seeing them in NYC (MSG) in '69 and '72. Unbelievable. They lost a lot when they lost him. Although to be fair that era was also when they were writing their best songs. Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world, indeed. P.S. Your playing is excellent. Somewhat different tone. Strat vs. Gibson?
It's great to see you so inspired by this solo, and getting so much out of it.
VERY EFFICIENT teaching style
Very good, mick always struck me as a having a very composed sound like he has his own style, vocabulary, it's so composed
The best video so far. Thank you.
You’re not too shabby yourself! You have a great ear. Enjoyed it.
Your chops are a beautiful thing.
You did pretty well on this too mr dutchman. Thanks for the post.
Mick is the peak of stones 🤟🤟 my favorite solo is the one he does in Love in Vain, live somewhere in the 70s😎
Wow, one of my all time favorite guitar solos analyzed brilliantly! Fantastic Work!
Very underrated guitarist with a great wrist vibrato, more video about Mick Taylor please! 🤘🤘👅
One “like” is just not enough for what you do, man. Just not enough.
Nice tips dude, thanks for shearing, it really helps!!!!
You sir are a blessing! Learning so much from you!
