3 times BRIAN JONES went BEAST MODE on SLIDE GUITAR

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Napoleon has sometimes been described as a 'flawed genius' that description also suits Brian Jones, the man could surely play some fine slide guitar no doubt. Thanks to all patrons for your support, I will try to post as much as I can the upcoming weeks while moving back to the home land!

[@CorbCorbin]

That slide on No Expectations is chilling. I think Brian became a casualty of his fame, partly because Mick and Keith became better musicians and songwriters, both naturally and out of necessity. Brian had relied on his natural ability for years, and once the lifestyle he was leading began affecting his ability to play, it was over. Fascinating story, and mystery for many years, which has pretty much been solved now, with a confession from his killer, and forensic recreations.

[@waltlikker3988]

The problem with "I Wanna be Your Man" is the guitar solo is too short. I like the way it sounds as if Brian is winding up (baseball analogy) right before the solo. If the solo had gone 30 seconds longer, his guitar would be flamin'.

[@brendanbrown3100]

@@SR11266 Jones DID write songs - he was too shy to present them to the group. A more strident Jones would have demanded credit on those songs he played a major part in - The Last Time for example. He collaborated with Gene Clark on Eight Miles High. Gene thought he should have got a credit on that. Jones also worked with a certain Jimmy Page on a movie soundtrack. Regarding his death, the police completely bungled the investigation - hence the Brian Jones files are not available to the public to avoid embarrassment. I don’t agree with the murder theories though. Poor Brian does get a bad rap - certainly compared with Lennon and Hendrix, who were both flawed in their own ways.

[@skummelkatt]

For those who wants to know more about Brian Jones I recommend Paul Trynka’s excellent book about him. It’s pretty clear that Brian, not being here to give us his side of the story, have had his story told mainly by two guys who bullied him and pushed him into a corner. Two guys who still suffer from guilt and grudge when it came to what happened to him. Brian was as popular as Mick during his time in the band and was the one a lot of people came in contact with when their paths crossed the Stones. Hendrix befriended him, so did Bob Dylan, Gene Clark, Dick Taylor, George Harrison and Nico. He wasn’t the pure evil or constantly drunk/high person some Stones-fans seem to believe he was. He is a classic case of history is written by the winners.

[@robertshirley3422]

You are greatly simplifying the evidence. Trynka's book goes into much details and draws from dozens of sources. It amazes me how these Brian Jones apologists continue to cover for Brian. Brians had deeply rooted problems going all the way back to grade school days, getting in trouble with girlfriends, becoming estranged from his embarrassed parents. If you are going to mention Trynka, then you should know the full story. Brian was always a deeply troubled person. Extremely talented, but very capricious and toxic. I liken him to the genius of Syd Barrett and Jim Morrison, all unhinged personalities deep down inside.

[@dlhdonn]

Back in the late 70's I read an article or book excerpt on the Stone's. It stated that Brian Jones was one of those people who could pick up virtually any instrument and play it. Especially string instruments. According to his sister, Jerry Lee Lewis was the same on piano. No lessons. He just naturally played from almost the moment he first touched the keys. I think some people just breathe music and experience it in colors and other ways us mere mortals don't. Makes things interesting. There are a lot of us Salieri's out here and very few Mozart's!

[@robertshirley3422]

Morrison was the same way. Although he could not play an instrument, according to Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore , Jim heard the entire song in his head.

[@robertshirley3422]

I wouldn't exactly analogue Brian to Mozart..a bit of a stretch. He was one of those multi- instrumentalist that could add iconic colors and textures to songs, but maybe Brian would have been better suites as a studio musician ( a la The Wrecking Crew) or been a music engineer or producer. Because, HE WAS NOT a prolific songwriter, and for a band like The Stones, competing for popularity with The Beatles, Kinks, The Who and other British Invasion bands, I'm sure it became cut-thoat knockout, drag out. I really cannot think of any of the major bands that didn't have these battles over creativity. Look at the Forgerty Brothers in CCR and the battles within The Animals, Pink Floyd and The Who are legendary. Even the clean- cut Beatles, it got very nasty.

[@williardbillmore5713]

It is true that he could pick out a rudimentary melody on many instruments, that is not an extraordinary ability, by any means. Lot's of people can do that. But what he played was always someone else's melody. Jones was a copyist with no creative or inventive musical abilities whatsoever. He was surely no Mozart... in fact he never rose to the level of Salieri either. Jones could not write, he could not sing, he knew very little music theory and he NEVER composed a single song in his entire career. Jones was by far the least talented member of the Rolling Stones.

I’ve always loved No Expectations. Lovely slide playing Thom. My challenge has always been my getting vibrato to sound less erratic. More practice required!

[@williardbillmore5713]

The key to playing slide guitar in the No Expectations style is to visually make sure you slide up to the fret exactly over it and THEN only put a little vibrato on the notes as they fade away. The tendency for beginner slide players is to put too much vibrato on every part of every note played. It takes a good ear, some restraint and a lot of finesse to keep it sounding in tune with the other instruments. Although the part is super simple and you are only picking a few notes out of really just three chords you have to remind yourself that this is not a rhythm guitar part. It is an accompaniment... In some places when you don't play is every bit as important as when you do play.

[@williardbillmore5713]

If you become an alcoholic and have the D T s because you are drying out on stage, that vibrato comes naturally. That was Brian's secret to an even vibrato

Brian played oboe, sax, trombone, recorder clarinet, stringed harp, sitar, a vatiety of keyboards, banjo, theremin, marimba, vibes, harmonica, kazoo (hah hah). That oboe on Dandelion is Brian. Obviously he wasn’t a master of those instruments but he knew exactly what was needed and showed up with the goods To this day Keith Richards has almost nothing to say about Brian’s contributions and if he does say anything pisitive it’s always back handed.

Your opinion, but he was one of the first British guitarists to use slide on guitar in the early 60s and turn on many guitar players to Black blues musicians who used slide on guitar. Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, ect..

@@randlemcmurphy2672 Not true. Jeff Beck, John Mayall of the Blues Breakers were playing slide guitar blues before Jones had his first guitar. His slide playing on I Wanna Be Your Man was just horrendous.

@@randlemcmurphy2672 Well that claim that Jones was the very first in all of the UK to play slide guitar ... absurd and silly as it is , has been predominant among the saint Brian sect of lies that I have been trying to dispel since Trynka published his fictional book about Jones several years ago. The fanboys will read "One of the first" and then retell it as "the very first" so I have to be extra diligent with that riciulous fallacy.
