honky tonk woman – SONG FACTS: Keith Richards notes: "Honky Tonk Women" started in Brazil. Mick and I, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg who was pregnant with my son at the time. Which didnt stop us going off to the Mato Grasso and living on this ranch. Its all cowboys. Its all horses and spurs. And Mick and I were sitting on the porch of this ranch house and I started to play, basically fooling around with an old Hank Williams idea. And then couple of months later we were writing songs and recording. And somehow by some metamorphosis it suddenly went into this little swampy, black thing, a Blues thing. Really, I cant give you a credible reason of how it turned around from that to that. Except theres not really a lot of difference between white Country music and black Country music. Its just a matter of nuance and style. I think it has to do with the fact that we were playing a lot around with open tunings at the time. So we were trying songs out just to see if they could be played in open tuning. And that one just sunk in." Lead guitarist Brian Jones was a founding member of the group and was considered their leader in their early years. Unfortunately, drug abuse made him pretty much worthless, and when The Stones finished recording this on June 8, 1969, they drove to his house and fired him. This was released July 3, 1969, the same day Jones was found dead in his swimming pool. Mick Taylor had taken over for Brian Jones on lead guitar, and this was his first <b>…<b>

    Nice tone, you need to work on your timing a bit. Keep on keepin on

    Good job. Played it note for note but I have to say your timing is a little off at times. Keith’s rythym is something to master in itself.

    In live performance they do not have enough guitarists to accomplish all fills and overdubbs.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I figured the ‘leads’ were in straight tuning.
    They are so inter-laced that it’s difficult to delineate them individually. (!)
    The syncopation on this track with all of the parts complementing, is sublime simplicity – a great groove. So much implied with so little actually spoken.
    Thanks again.

    Yes you’re right. It’s indeed Keith’s masterpiece I agree.
    All addition parts are in standard tunning that’s I’m sure they was simple pentatonic scale followed by each chord. In open G tunning will be unnatural and unnecessary complicated to catch up all notes played with great speed in some solo parts.

    Great job. Thanks!
    It’s shows, for me, a real appreciation of the rhythmic complexity and groove under the deceptively simple structure. Hail Keith.

    One question: Are the ‘stacked’ or layered ‘leads’ during the break also in G tuning?
    I could never figure this out.
    Thanks in advance for your reply…

    All the right notes in the world don’t matter if you play them out of time. Horrible timing. Good tone though.

    Cool video, but I can’t help but feel that it lacks a little bit of groove and feel, like the timing isnt all 100{10faa3092bae83cdf963b1ab1025701434ba1e012413cb9c0c72be0a479389c3} there!

    you’re right. It’s no 1 guitar for Keith open G signature tone.

    is that the Fender 60th Anniversary Tele? It sure looks like mine.

    Yeah, that single coil tele is my fav el. guitar ever, I can imagine why Keith like it so much.
    Thanks 🙂
