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.
That’s some story!
It’s everything. The entire album is a masterpiece.
Mary Clayton.. you "bumped into her", yet she never performed afterwards. Was she in Walmart at the time?🤓
👌🥂
If your story is true, its amazing
Tim has more joy on his face than any guitar player I've ever seen. He's such a tasteful and creative player and he makes it look so easy. He doesn't waste a note, he makes me all count.
Tim loves playing the guitar lol
Ditto , my sane thought !
Blues monster Kirk fletcher is a pretty happy guy too. They both bring great joy to the world!
Em all count I meant.
If I could play like him I would too!! Love it
Has to be one the greatest openings for a rock song… it never fails to send shivers / tingles up my spine whenever I hear it. Has a kind of epic, ‘end of days’ feel about it… truly an amazing song!
Thats cause it summons satan. devil music 👹🤘
Nothing wrong with can't you hear me knocking either.
I get that chill too, love it.
Do you know the story? The greatest rock song, ever. I’ll never forget sneaking the vinyl into the house. From the opening lick, freaked me out.
@@skinovtheperineum1208, Sticky Fingers was a perfect album, from start to finish. Let It Bleed was released at the end of ‘69 and a direct rebuttal to All We Need Is Love niavete. It captured the end of a tumultous decade perfectly. ‘63 November and our President was blown away. ‘68: RFK and Martin, Civil Rights and Vietnam.
Often overlooked is Mick's great harmonica playing on this track.
Greatest guitar riff in Rock The Stones were awesome
One of the greatest songs ever recorded. I hadn't realized Kieth recorded all three parts. What a badass. Thanks for the breakdown.
Yes I always thought it was Mick Taylor... but it was easy to find the info with a little research:-)
@@timpierceguitar yes it's at the time when Brian Jones was out of it and before Mick Taylor. Taylor started with the song 'Live with me". He then added lead to Honkey tonk women. Specifically the dual guitar country lick before the chorus. Great job as always Tim.
Keith played every lick on the album with the exception of a few bottleneck licks handled by Mick Taylor on "Country Honk."
@@67goldtops no that's not true. I've read Mick Taylor guitar player magazine interview where he described what he played. Live with me was his very first contribution. He overdubbed on honky tonk women but that's not on let it bleed
@@jimhenderson2308 Nope. Not on the album version he didn't. It's all Keith.
It's really unbelievable that there are so many people who have no idea what a great guitarist Keith Richards is. Mad respect to Tim for this lesson.
So true !!!!
Yes, I agree, but I saw some dude recently judging Keef as the second-most overrated guitarist in rock history. Unreal!
You don't know what you are talking about do you? You don't know many people to justify your comment.
Yes. And my favourite guitar solo - Route 66. I first heard it in 1963 or 1964 and tried to play it. I still can't.
He gets trashed on some UA-cam channels. They obviously don't get him.
Man, you are absolutely the best at what you do!
You don’t just play “in the style of” - you completely inhabit the piece.
Magical work Tim - thank you !!!
A totally unique and brilliant song. Keith's rhythm parts were hooks all by themselves.
There was a ten year period in which Keith was on fire, writing one amazing classic riff after another. Genius. Can you hear me knocking, monkey man, ..... the list goes on and on.
Maybe it was the Low Spark of High Healed Boys
(if ya know what I mean)
@@kellyjohns6612Or maybe the edict that John Barleycorn Must Dye...his hair.
Seems like you and I are stuck in (on) Traffic, huh?
I played Monkey Man for my children to prove I was serious about Rock and Roll.
@@willmpetFirst Keith riff I learned. When I got it down, I thought "I'm a Man"!
Oops, wrong band.
Instant shivers down the spine, forearms, everywhere...
The most beautiful intro to a song ever recorded. Then it gets better!
Every time!
Keith is king.A new Millennium mutineer.A pirate and a buccaneer .
It’s haunting
school of rock with tina s. do a great job on this tune.
From u.k.
My two sons play in rock bands off and on for 20 yrs.
Going through my front door a few years back I heard
my eldest playing this in his room, in his late twenties
then.
I was up the stairs two at a time and in there!
He said I was waiting for you to pull up in the car
Before I started playing it!
I said I’ll give you 5 hrs to stop!
Just keep playing it!
Used to be a massive stones fan, during the Mick Taylor
period.
Aside from the epic and ethereal guitar riff opening the song - Merry Clayton's voice breaking on the high registry is just...incredible. Perhaps the Stones' greatest track.
Definitely. There was so much going on in just the vocals.
This is maybe not greatest song of all times, but I still never play on my gramophone anything after Shelter
@@ljubastojanovic608 Gramophone? Did you buy that off Edison?
@@SilentKnight43Hahaha. 😂
That Harmony Jupiter has a remarkable telecaster-ish sound with no hum. And this song is simply a gem to hear and impeccably played by Tim.
To me, this is the best song the Stones ever recorded. Though I'm not really a big Stones fan, I do like several of their other songs. But for me, this was the one where they reached beyond themselves and made one "for the ages."
Agreed .. if not it has to be in the top 3
"Several of their others"! You're 'avin a bloody giraffe.
This can’t you hear me knocking and I know a weird one, miss you are about the only stones songs I like.
@@mississippisnowplow Can't You Hear Me Knockin', Heartbreaker, Midnight Rambler, Happy, You're So Cold - there's a few.
Little Indian girl... Where is yo mama
I can't listen to this song without tears rolling down my cheeks, and this after 50y. The intro is breath taking, the lyrics are a frontal attack and the solos come like daggers into my heart. Marc from Belgium.
Thanks so very much
NO TEARS mr M ...But you summed it up for me as well
check out the school or rock take with tina s. some really nice vocals.
I hear you man. Same boat here. There are 5 or so songs that make me cry every time. In the right mood I love listening to them and it's incredibly therapeutic for me.
Although subjective this has to be one of the best songs ever recorded. and props to Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could be one of the greatest rock songs in history. Jagger said Merry blew them away when she did her vocals. When her voice breaks at one point, it’s probably one of the most iconic sounds on any track. When the song came out, it blew us away. We lived it !!! The Let it Bleed album was second to none, at the time.
Cool!
Cool!
What a great sound that song is dnamic a true song of the era timeless!
What a great sound that song is dnamic a true song of the era timeless!
Anyone got one ? harmony?
The true magic of this song is the 'solo' opening notes leading into the start of the song. The sound completely draws one in.
it's one of the greatest intros in rock music.
It's so haunting
It is awesome. Monkey Man has a great guitar intro too. Especially hearing it on Good Fellows
Interesting that he used the same guitar on "Midnight Rambler", must have been the same amp also, as it sounds the same, one of his best tones.
@@Johngonefishin I think he was using a Dan Armstrong lucite see through SG and Ampeg amps
Your respect and appreciation of this great song is matched by your own great playing. Your intro is a blast.
Thank you so much :-)
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!
Man, I am an older rocker, very average guitar player, and, during the Pandemic, really got into these guitar guru's. I just have to say that Tim is just such a great player and his smile and way, just really hits me good. Just love him. I should take some lessons.
Did Tim perfectly retune to open E in one take, one turn, for each of those 3 strings? I believe he did! Awesome! 👂🏻🎶
... and with a strong tremolo going on, to boot.
I watched this over and over to see if he's looking at a computer screen with a tuner routed through it.
Can't be sure. But honestly, I just think he has an amazing ear.
@@INXS7144Developing an ear like that is just lots and lots of practice.
@@ska4dragonsi think he’s got perfect pitch. you can’t get that with practice.
@@henrypaul8823 You wouldn't want perfect pitch. A well-honed relative pitch is superior.
Tim, I always watch your face as you play. The pure joy shows how much you love your work!
Santana said " In music if the performer does not show they are in it on their face the crowd will not feel it"
@@apatriot613 ..Sugarcane Harris once said to me, "No tears in the heart of the performer, no tears in the heart of the audience".....
I adore Keith's ear-worm guitar parts. I don't think he gets anywhere near the credit he deserves. It's always about the song for Keith and not guitar virtuosity. And the songs are unforgettable. So many songs....
interesting how most all his rhythm patterns become iconic... instantly recognizable
That’s such a subtle, understated and sweet tone with the tremelo and a slight slap back you’re getting there.
Its great to see how much JOY you have when you’re playing, Tim
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
This is by far my favorite sound/riff of all time. And the song is absolutely amazing! And your playing, wow! ❤👍
Glad you like it!
Thanks Tim. Really thanks. Being a huge Keith follower and fan I'm glad for you saying "he's a songwriter'. He tells the story how he was finally alone in his own upstairs flat and had piano delivered. He said that afternoon he wrote 'Ruby Tuesday', 'Let's Spend the Night Together' and, I think maybe "Dandelion". But 3 huge hits in one afternoon. My man!!!😃
Dandelion was written on guitar i think. There is original demo of it on UA-cam, at least was a while ago. It is very interesting demo.
Man, you are so damn smooth and tasteful with your runs. I can honestly say there's nobody better. You've obviously had videos where you've played a lot more, but hey, sometimes less is more and this video was definitely MORE!
Perhaps the single greatest rock and roll masterpiece of all time.
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!! 👍
Keith is a writer, band leader, guitarist, and RECORD PRODUCER, which is exactly what you are talking about in this video. He had to produce hits, and it could not simply be left to the hired producer, it was up to Mick and Keith to create this magic.
Tell it!
Tim Pierce, simply put, that was bloody brilliant ... thank you!
The most energetic, exciting rock song intro I know. After more than 50 years, it still gives me chills.
Keith Richards is a hidden gem for sure. His writing and playing is underrated. That's my all time *favourite* Stones song.
Hidden gem? Keith Richards? How do figure that?
@@greatwhite3676 I guess some people are kinda stupid. He’s a giant. A true legend.
Agreed. You don't think of Keith with Lennon, McCartney, Townshend, Neil Young - songwriters. But you know a ton of the songs Keith wrote. You don't quite think of Keith with Clapton, Hendrix, Page, even Mick Taylor , Beck and Peter Green - but you want to play so many of his riffs and parts like those players.
The most haunting intro in rock of all time. It's dark and beautiful.
As a guitar player, Keith Richards is underrated by precisely ZERO people who know anything at all about music.
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.
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.
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.
An Iconic intro riff that is as timeless as age itself!!!! Sounds so dang good Tim!!! Wow!!! Thanks for being you!!!!!!
Hi Tim. You've just blown my head off with that riff!!
Freaking awesome. Thank you
Thanks for highlighting Keith's song writing - so successful and so many iconic songs he's written.
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.
THAT WAS Ry COODER
@@bobbyblast5887 er... keith wrote it.
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!
It sounds so much better with the open tuning. Keith is the riff master.
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.
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!
Tim Pierce: Heart of gold and master of the universe! That first 90 seconds was priceless.
It's joyful to watch Tim. He's always so into it and always seems happy as a clam doing what he's doing. Sorta like the Bob Ross of guitar. Cheers....
That guitar and tone sound amazing, Tim.
This is definetely Keith Richards best guitar sound. Buliet proof and keeps getting better as time goes by.
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!
The opening phrases are just killer! You nailed it Tim, exactly as per the recording...GORGEOUS!.
This is my favorite Stones tune.
I loved the melody and Mary Clayton vocals were awesome!
When this song comes on, it gets cranked!
Man, what a great video, song, history, lesson, playing, and guitar! You totally nailed it. I love the joy and fun you bring to guitar playing. Thanks
Thanks so much!
@@timpierceguitar is Harmony making guitars still or is that an old vintage one?
@@patm5086 they are being made again
Tim, thank you for all you do... looking forward to receiving my hat so I can show my support for the Great Tim Pierce. :)
You make everything seem so effortless. I can't wait to grow up and be like you. ;)
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.
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.
great job tim. those riffs with that tone are pure rock n roll, what keith seemed to ooze in his playing. love it.
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.
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.
My fave song of all time. Thank you for posting this Tim. Interesting, and your riffs were amazing. Appreciated.
Keith is the reason I play guitar. I bumped into him for a sec on the Voodoo Louge Tour in Indy in 94. My 1st concert was 89 Steel Wheels. Favorite record is Exile. And have an autographed pic of him in my studio. You nailed ALL the parts of course, Tim
my voodoo lounge tshirt( bought at gig) finally bit the dust
@AFullNelson very cool. I just briefly exchanged hellos with him coming out of the Canterbury hotel in Indy on his way to the show. I've had a few run ins with Rockstars but Keith was already my inspiration for picking up the guitar. By this point I already had my 52 Tele Reissue, because of him...
He is the reason I bought a Telecaster first.
@@teleguy5699 same here
I gave up on trying to learn guitar, but I still watch Tim's vids because not only great music, but he just exudes joy.He seems to never forgotten, even someone who's job is playing.....that music is still all about having fun.
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 got to see the Stones in 1975 when they played The Garden for 6 nights and using the Lotus Stage. 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
☮️🎸🥳
I’m really digging the sound of that guitar! It has such a stylish vintage tone!
All Keith's riffs are incredibly catchy. This one is the best of them.
And Merry Clayton, pregnant, ripped out of bed, hair in rollers, put the final nail in the coffin.
They slayed! I'm dead.
Sadly , she lost that baby .
Seriously. Merry Clayton did to this song what Clare Torry did to Great Gig in the Sky. Without em, the songs are still good. But with em....they became biblical.
And it's hilarious how both of them were just kinda pulled outta their houses some random night and nailed it in a couple takes.
@@derekcrymble9085 The very day following the session.
Not to mention she was stunned after a while getting into it...what the hell have you guys got me singing?
What is more amazing is Jagers and Claytons vocals matched this guitar riff. One of the most powerful studio music recordings made.
Best rock tune ever. A lot of credit to Merry Clayton and her truly scorching solo singing as well.
How great is Tim's ear tuning that guitar straight pitch so fast.
This guy's playing is top notch! His solos are awesome: Incredible feel, incredible tone, attack, hitting every note, ad-libbing, just brilliant.
Yup. Beautiful guitar work on His and Your part. Great song. Thanks for the information on this song. Always have loved it. Many memories
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).
You're a beautifully expressive guitar player Tim. Thanks for this.
This gentleman is sooooo GUITAR FEROCIOUS….I Cant get enough of him.Hes seemingly always spot on the money.Perfectionistic ear.Thank u sir.
Man it’s a real treat to see such a happy place playing those riffs, made my day.
🔭 Man - Sensational lesson and great in-depth breakdown for one of rock and roll's most iconic hits. One mark of a great song is no matter how many times you've heard the cut, it still gets your blood flowing and your foot tapping - especially with that ear catching intro and building rhythm guitar. I got a real kick out of seeing and hearing Tim Pierce experiencing that infectious energy as he ran through each part of this masterpiece.Thank you for not only explaining some of the hard to hear details, but demonstrating some of keith's technique as well.
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
very informative! Tim, it really shows that you love what you do the minute you strike the guitar!
I LOVE watching you play as much as I love listening because the look on your face is always pure joy!
It’s contagious and inspiring- thank you!
That guitar tone from the Harmony is just perfect!
The original intro captures the darkness of the premise of the song. Brilliant
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...
I love how you're transported to another place whilst you're playing this....epic tutorial, nice one matey.
Oh man, you are just having so much fun playing those chords. Love it.
Chords
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.
Tim, your format is brilliant. Just as much so as your playing. Very conversation like while showing what you play without going note for note and encouraging folks to play around and come up with their own line which in turn sparks the creativity!
Wow !
Wonderful explanation of the story and the musical/instrumental detail.
Thanks
Very exciting to learn about the open E tuning! I remember trying to figure out this song in standard tuning and replaying the licks on an old cassette recorder in my bedroom for hours; drove my older sisters nuts!
Hey Tim, great rendition of this song. I am sure you played it exactly like Keith did as it sounds just like he recorded it. Thanks for sharing and the history. Cheers from Michigan.
Of all the recording sessions I wish I could have witnessed it is , without question, Gimme Shelter with Merry Clayton busting over Mick with her stellar vocals. Thank you…I always have the same grin on my face just like you…and you nailed it.
Tim, having played in a number of cover band's and being in my 60's now with very little time to play due to having a young family and numerous commitments l absolutely love your expose's. l can sit down have dinner with a glass of wine. Both you and Nic Beatto are totally getting at the core of what it means to be a creator of music, a musician and a sonic artist! !!! Thank you for contributing so much to musical history and knowledge.
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!
Tim nails it again and again !!!❤
Tim, you are what every guitarist should strive to be!!
Tim you're the best .. amazing tutorial ty ..really enjoyed this presentation..always terrific MasterClass Classics
You can tell by watching you having so much fun that this is classic rock. That smile says is all folks !!
Great video man. Keith was brilliant. Some of the best riffs ever
Tim,
You are one hell of an amazing musician brother. You have a killer ear that doesn't miss a frequency change.
You rock brother. Love your videos man.
You rock on. 🎸🎸🎸✔️🇺🇸✌️🤗🎯
Such a great riff and demonstration.
Guitars necks & bodies were once joined together with hide glue, that melt in hot temperatures ( eg oil heater). Increased string tension ( & hard strumming) and could open the joint.
The Easy Beats " Friday on my Mind" is another famous Maton guitar track. Matons are the Gibson's of Oz.
The magical music in the intro to this song, was what catapulted it up the charts. It just makes the skin tingle, the mind float, and by the time the rest of the song comes on, we are completely hooked.
