Ron Wood's Rhythm Guitar Riffs in Faces and Rolling Stones | Reverb Learn to Play

- Rolling Stones/Faces guitarist Ron Wood's playing (both with iconic bands and solo) stretches beyond the parameters of a typical player. With his talent for slide guitar, lap steel, acoustic, and lead playing, it would be easy to make a full series of Ron Wood videos, but today Jeff Massey is taking the time to focus on Wood's rhythmic leanings.

Favorite Ron Wood guitar riff "Stay with me" by the Faces. One of the best guitar intro's.
You mean I'm losing you....👌👌👌
Yeah that ones awesome but imo its Ian McLagan's piano part that really takes that song over the top!
Woods had that inherent gift of falling into the groove when and wherever and with anyone. The joy.
Good to see Ronnie getting some love. Keith usually gets all the attention but Ronnie is just as good if not better
Great to see and hear this, I’d always maintained that Ronnie’s bass playing on the first two Jeff Beck Group albums was his finest hour, but there’s no denying his individual approach and unique tone on guitar (esp with the Faces) which definitely deserves more attention. He earned his gig with the Stones, and when he played on ‘Its only rock n roll’ (title track only) he still had that distinctive biting Faces guitar tone.
Come on, he’s not better than Keith.
@@bungle3912 I think Mick Taylor was better than Ron or Keith.
@@christophertheiss8877 Techincally a better player, yeah, but he doesn’t have the groove of Keith.
@@bungle3912 I totally agree. Yes, I should have prefaced that with Mick was a much more technically proficient player than Ronnie or Keith, but they have that bare bones sloppy but not sloppy groove that makes the Stones the Stones. Cheers!
I once had the good fortune to meet Ronnie in a pub in London. We chatted about the Stones for a while and he signed an autograph. A great bloke as well as a great guitar player.
LUCKY MAN !!!!
I got Ronnie's autograph in 1987 in Dallas area. He was signing one of his books, I snuck in 2 CD album covers too!
He was gracious and very nice.
Ron is a great musician.
Wasted in The Stones.
And I'm a Stones fan!
His work with Rod stood out much much more.
Yeah, Foreigner by his predecessor at Stones, can only wonder...
Exactly! He was sublimely good w Faces. Weaving w Keith has created a mediocre mush.
@@peterdavis8585 The weaving thing was a cover for the lack of definition that worked so brilliantly with Keith and Mick Taylor.
@@GravityBoy72, good take.
FINALLY! A proper video on Ronnie's Style and tone! Ever since getting in to the Faces I've been at a loss to find a proper video about his style during that time. I feel he really dropped off after joining the stones and his personal style was buried being Keith's sidekick. PLEASE DO MORE ON RONNIE/FACES!
Love the focus on Ron Woods, he has a great style, especially through the stuff he did with Faces. A Wink is as good as a Nod to a blind horse is a great Album.
A Nod Is etc a classic album ; saddest part is they just didn't keep going, couldn't keep it together. But they all went on to bigger stuff, great players.
Terry Carthy It would have been difficult because Rod Stewart was going to have a solo career and the stature of the rest of the band was too great that they could not be just a backup band.
Nod as good as a wink
Never enough videos on Ronnie’s guitar style. Lessons on Faces and early Rod Stewart songs are welcome.
I agree
Marco Lima I totaly agree.
Absolutely!!!
@@GilbertFerrol you are the primary source of Faces covers and lessons on youtube!!!!
Can we give Rod Stewart a miss ... p l e a s e ?
Everything you said, Jeff. Ronnie is one of those select guitarists that has an immediately identifiable tone and feel. A consummate player. So yes, keep delving and sharing.
Oh please,, do some more videos talking playing like Ron Wood. He is definitely one of my very top guitarist!! I listen to Faces all the time and I’m always telling people how great Ron Wood is!! It’s usually goes over their heads but,Greatness usually does. Thank you verymuch for great video!! Awesome brother.
I discovered Ron Wood's guitar work when I was starting out and he was with the Faces. Very clever, minimalist playing. A very tasteful player.
@Ronnie Wood Thanks Ron! You're a great player in my view!
@Ronnie Wood All the best mate!
I love this. There's never enough talk about rhythm. You have great feel and tone.
ditto
Came here to say this! What's rock n roll without rhythm?
Yes please more on Ronnie! I feel that he is often overlooked besides Keef
Kweef stinks compared to hard Wood
Yes please! More lessons on Ronnie would be sweet... very underrated. Keep'em coming!
ron woods bass playing in the jeff beck group was great too
OH ! YEAH INDEAD !
Ron Wood also played bass on the early Rod Stewart albums.
I LOVE Ron's intro to "Losing You" .... For years I have watched the old "Faces" live performance video here on U Tube and tried in vain to get it down the way he does it and he makes it look so easy.
Yes please! Woody is the best and yet somehow underappreciated.
Ron and Keith made for one of the best duo's of all time, big influence on me and my mates
Absolutely agree with you, he supports Keith a lot, but not like a crutch, but with mutual respect, because he knows Keith has it too, BIG time.
Joe Perry and Brad Whitford
TheJimmercury who?
BOLLOX. Worst set ever.
I have over 50 years of experiencing their utter shite.
Though I love much of his work with The Stones I think the best legacy of Ron Wood as guitar player is his essential period with The Faces. That is unsurpassable... and not only as a guitarist but as a writer too.
Not sure I've seen another Ron Wood/Faces lesson. That was so cool. He gained more fame with the stones but the sounds you made on this lesson, you haven't heard them from him as a Stone. I'm going to spend a lot of time on this lesson. I even think Ron Wood would love it since it's so appreciative of what he did for Faces
This Jeff guy has gotta be one of the best guitarists on YT🤘🏻
Dude!!! PLEASE DO MORE ON RON!! He is my fave guitarist. I listen to a couple of live Faces show a hundred times a year. Just love how searing his playing is. More RON WOOD!! And you sound amazing guy.
Fr I want more 2
For sure! More Ron Wood please! His style is so cool and compliments Keith’s sound and style so much. Great video.
Yes, definitely do more vidoes on Ron Wood. He is a talented guitarist and not anyone can be a Rolling Stone.
Jeff is my favorite Reverb dude!!! Nice lesson...HEY REVERB MORE JEFF!!!!!!
So minimalist, never tempted to fill where it don’t need filling and you got to appreciate the sounds of the rest of the Faces , Ron’s a class player
This awesome, and yes please for more Ron Wood. Ron is very much under appreciated.
Yes, please !!! More Ron Wood videos would be SUPER. And this is a REALLY GREAT one. Thank you guys :-)
Great video on Ron's riffs, he danced out of the box oh his chords & rhythm playing. I see many of us that would love some more on Ron, slide? Yes, he is really nice, had a chance to meet & get a pic with him, he is really laid back. Great video look forward to some more.
Good job on catching Ron Wood's style and sound. You can see why he and Keef mix so well.
Thanks for posting!
Great informative lesson on Ronnie's licks ,thank you !
...VERY good observation of Mr Wood .... Ron's the glue within the Stones....great video...thx
Love this style. Ron is indeed one of the masters. Thanks for this video.
I've been looking for some type of lesson on Woody's playing. He's a very underrated guitarist. Good rhythm guitar playing is also greatly underrated. Great stuff. Thanks.
Just saw this video. I absolutely agree with you that Ron Wood is an amazing guitar player. I have always that he was so underrated. I would love to see more videos on his playing. You answered a lot of questions I had in this video alone and hope you will do a lot more. Thanks for doing this! - Jeff
Brilliant thanks - huge influence with the Faces. Power with great touch , with the boogie fills and huge slide chords. Saw Faces live in 1974 when Rod Stewart was in his prime - emerging superstar - but Ron Wood stole the show. Huge sound. Set the tone. Got the party started.
Very cool! I've always considered the Faces to be one of the greatest rock bands EVER and Woody's playing an integral part of that legendary sound. By the way the half step slide you demonstrated can also be done as a double stop bend.
AWESOME vid. Wood's playing in the FACES is so amazing. Thank you!!!
The way he handles lead and rhythm at the same time is really great. The Faces swaggered similar time the Stones and is likely why he fit into the Stones so well. That and he has amazing stage presence.
Great playing! Great video! Great subject! Playing rhythm guitar is a true art but to play it the way Ronnie Wood does is magical. Your playing is much easier on the ears than most youtube stuff, thank you!
Please please please more Rod Wood lessons. Especially the early stuff! This video was fantastic. Thank you so much
Awesome!!! I AM A 49 year old with a slight disability (nothing major) SO I HAVE THE LUXURY OF PLAYING 12 hours a day... I HAVE DISECTED ALL THE GREAT CLASSIC ROCK GUITARISTS I PLAY IN 25 OR MORE DIFFERENT TUNINGS, BUT JUST SO HAPPENS I WAS GOING OVER ALL THE CLASSIC G OF KEITH ,I OBVIOUSLY LEARN STANDARD WITH IT,I WAS GOING OVER BEAST OF BERDON AND LISTENING TO ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS RONNIE HAS PLAYED THAT,FROM ALBUM TO ALBUM,AND I HAVE FOUND THREE WAYS HE PLAYS HIS PART OVER THE YEARS KEITH ALWAYS PLAYS THE MAIN RIFF!!! RONNIE ALWAYS PLAYS THEESE MELODIC RIFFS OVER TOP THAT R SO AMAZING, FUNNY HOW I WAS JUST SAYING HE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST UNDERRATED GUITARIST OF ALL TIME ( I MEAN COULD YOU IMAGINE HAVING TO KEEP KEITH HAPPY NIGHT AFTER NIGHT) LOL SO LETS HAVE MORE LIKE THIS???JAMES SCOTT NICHOLSON,ONTARIO,CANADA
Very informative and interesting! Ronnie Wood is not only a fantastic guitarist he is reputedly a really nice guy, too (though I personally haven't had the pleasure). I like this video. No baloney, all substance, easy to understand. Good stuff!
He is really nice, I've never went out of my way to meet Musicians, I did Ron, I had bought a book of his artwork & went to a signing, very great, spent time & a guy behind me with a Polaroid let us get a picture together, with Jo. Thumbs up to Ron.
Great tone and lesson. Ronnie’s “lead rhythm” with Faces was unique.
I call him RON. FIRST i would recommend Ron's first band The Birds, (1964-66) who sound as explosive as the early Who, with punkier vocals. Check out "A Collector's Guide to Rare English Birds", which collects all their singles and plenty of unreleased gems. The Birds led Jeff Beck to ask Rw to form the JB Group, originanally as guitarist - when ex Bird bassist Kim Gardner split Ron switched to bass and the 2 JBG albums Hugely influenced the early Led Zeppelin records, musically and even on term of engineering/mix etc. Ron & Rod were then in Faces of course - check out how expressive, warm, delicate and raunchy, loose and tight Ron's work is on say "Long Player", the layered accoustics, lead electric, pedal steel, slide work (& great songwriting) blend together to create the groups fully accomplished musical personality, something technique alone cannot achieve. Another thing evident in rw's playing is wit ('Cut Across Shorty', 'Too Bad' 'Its All Over now'). Too bad indeed his songwriting skill is not utilized more in the Stones. My Favorite Stones RW lps are SOME GIRLS, EMOTIONAL RESCUE, & BRIDGES TO BABYLON. As for his solo work NOW LOOK & NOT FOR BEGINNERS are my faves. And for Faces fans check out the Wood/RONNIE LANE soundtrack MAHONEY'S LAST STAND, which features the other Faces and some terrific songs ('Just For A Moment', 'Mona the Blues').....thanks all for the great comments!
I saw The Stones many times starting in '81 which only got better through the years. A very interesting time was at a show in 2014 in Spain where I saw them reunite with Mick taylor. On Midnight Rambler everyone was fantastic, Taylor did something different from his 70's shows and was great, keith as always hammers the hell out of Rambler, Jagger on the harp was better than I'd ever seen him live getting close to his 69 through 73 performances, not fucking about but playing the hell out of the harp. However! The big surprsie was Ron Wood and not cause he hasn't always held his own in my opinion but because he dropped a bomb of a solo, it was very unique even for him and was not trying to be competitive but he just demonstrated what unusually great shit he could pull out of his hat and he did, not better than Taylor just brilliant right up there with him but doing his own thing showing that each player is a unique artist. I never saw such a brilliant colloboration of 3 distinct guitar players live in my life.
Yeah man that is good stuff. I'm definitely getting some of that into my playing. Yeah I would love to see more Ron Wood style lessons. Good stuff! Jeff I thank you!
Love to see more Ron Wood videos, for my money one of the best and most underrated rock n roll players ever.
This is awesome! Please do a Mick Taylor episode!
Yeah, Micks solo on Dead Flowers
GNR194 BA there is

@@garyeppich2429 Epic IMO!!!!!
The half steps, reminds me of the opening riff for the song “Can’t you hear me knocking”. Cool.
More Ronnie videos would be a welcome addition. Thanks Jeff!
Keep the Ronnie lessons coming please! Love his groove.
Really good video, I prefer these style videos rather than note for note, I especially like that you kept relating the examples to the underplaying chord. Also more Ron Wood I really like how with the Stones he fits his playing into what Keith is doing.
Ron Wood was also the Bass player for the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart on vocals. Truth and Beck-0la are all time classics.
beautiful sound Jeff - nailed it. Thanks
love your Ron Wood style, Please do more
More Ron Wood or videos by this guy. This moved along better than a lot of reverb vids like this
Ronnie is a force in our music world. You know who I would also love to see more on. Ronnie lane. So underrated. Ronnie lane was just a incredible musician. I look for videos on him but there’s not much available. For someone like myself 55 and trying really hard to learn to play I love looking at all you really good musicians play and show us how they played. I can always watch a stones video but nobody is giving me step by step fret by fret string by string details on how to play. You sound really spot on. Thank you
Excellent! Yes, more Ron Wood breakdowns, please! Definitely do a slide vid and maybe one that goes more in depth on what he does in songs like "You Can Make Me Dance".
His slide playing is iconic for me, he's just got "it" perfect fit for the Stones.
Hell yes! Great job! More videos on Ron please!
Yeah fantastic, definitely more Ronnie wood and the faces
@Ronnie Wood you're the man Ronnie
Awesomethanks for showing us some of his earlier faces riffs and yes, more Ronnie please.
Great tone here. Ron is way under-heralded for the faces work which was groundbreaking and unmatched. Thanks for good tips.
Great stuff. I love Ron Woods playing. Please make more vids on Ron's playing.
Great video. Always has been one of my favorite guitarists, especially Faces. Love to see you play songs like True Blue, Miss Judy's Farm (all the way through)...Great Ronnie sound!
great lesson! this format, and the tone and the camera angle so we can see clearly. Thanks!
Awesome video, nailed the feel and tone of Woddie, great job!
It's like you guys are reading my mind, first Freddie King licks and now Ronnie Wood
Thank you man
Always loved that faces Riff
Nailed it! Really informative and well explained. Love his tone and feel - Woody would have probably created a very close approximation of Mick Taylor's work had he been in the band when "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" was recorded (same tone, same embellishments on the first half of the song, especially the into itself).
I'd love more on Ronnie Wood
Definitely love Ron Woods playing I'm totally enjoy more lyrical Rhythm techniques like he has
Cool ,keep the Ron Wood coming.
It all sounds like "Can you hear me knocking".... Love it
Excellent video. I love Faces-era Ron Wood distorted tone.
Brilliant lesson and guitar technique
Yes!!! This was great, more stuff on Ronnie would be awesome!!
Ron Wood was my influence as I was growing up learning to play guitar .I love his tone and his style .The Faces were a great Rock band and all five members added there own unique parts and made some great Albums ...My problem with Ronnie Wood is most people regard him as a Rolling Stone ...And he is ..But ..But I always think of him firstly as the brilliant and original guitarist in the Faces .....So the answer to your question is Yes ! I would love more Ron Wood guitar lessons from his Faces days .....I hope you read this as A Nods as good as a Wink to a blind Horse Regards Gilbert
You are so right! :) :)
Your right about him being tagged as only a Stone, many younger players haven't heard the Faces material & Ron solo work, try to find Ron's 1234 Album on CD, not out there, Gimme Some Neck is my Favorite. I think you could spend a hour easily on Ron's style.
I am just old enough to have already been familiar with his great Faces & Rod Stewart playing a few years before he officially joined the Rolling Stones. That Ampeg amp gritty tone was unique, but never heard with the Stones. Maybe what blended well with Rod's rough voice back then, doesn't go as well with Mick's voice or Keith's tone.
Another problem is that Ronnie alwas gets compared to Mick Taylor!!!
Very nice video, Jeff! Amazing sound of your les paul, really likes Ron Wood sound.
It's just amplifier gain or have pedals?
Awesome. One of my favorite guitarists. Surprised how little info there is on his style! Faces Rule! 🤟
Great riffs! In Ron’s style mooooorrrrrreeee! Please! Excellent!
Great lesson, many thanks
Fantastic! I'm no expert, a mere plonker at best, but an aficionado of those who can play nonetheless. You made it easy to hear and see Mr. Wood's techniques in your playing. More, please!
Great concise teaching and gteat tone!
Gr8 Bass player too & uses open tunings but a fabulous artist too .. his paintings & sketches .. I sat in a bar with a crowd of folk around him & he was as unobtrusive & not a rock star as anybody I've ever met .. just another guy in the bar & only the muso's around knew who he was .. all around a cool guy .
Would love more stuff on Ron Wood. Dude is a great player and a big influence on me.
Love your tone. Ty.
Great little lesson man
Great Video... i have always enjoyed Ron's vibe ( he also wrote one of the best autobiographies ever) taking you up on your suggestion and i would love to see more Ron! I also think someone who channels Ron and i love his vibe is Rich Robinson. Thanks man
Wicked guitar sound, great!
Would love a lesson on Ron's power slide technique! Probably my favorite slide player of all time.
great video, thanks so much
Great video! Yes please do more videos on Ron Wood.
Thanks Jeff. Would love to see more demos of Ronnie, as well as Keith too.
That's a great lesson Jeff I'm signing up!
Great video, would love to see more on Ron Wood guitar!
Hell yeah, more Ron Wood Vids dude, keep em comming
