[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Hell I think he should have got co writing credit on songs like 'Under my Thumb' where his hook makes the song. Jagger/Richards didn't want to give Mick Taylor co writing credit but a nice solo isn't the same as writing the main hook

[@Viajealduende]

@humphrey peek Bullshit and I've heard it all for decades. Of all the debates and arguments that's never been one of them. Keith wrote the lyrics, the music for Ruby Tuesday and the only debate is how much if any credit should brian have received for writing the melody with the recorder which he never really claimed to write the hook but enough solo was done that there are doubters. There is no doubt that Brian had absoultely nothing to do with Satsifaction. Bill Wyman years later claimed to have written the bass line to Jumping Jack Flash which is in doubt for one it's very similar to the Satisfaction riff.

Bill Wyman now owns Brians Les Paul Gold top. I have a photo of me and Bill with it from the early 90's. Brian Jones is so underrated. You never see him in lists of great guitar players but he belongs there. People don't even know he started the Stones. There is a plaque at Dartford train station that says it's where Mick and Keith met and formed the Rolling Stones. He was so far ahead of others. 'The pipes of Joujouka' recordings are a great example of this.

[@jerrypeters2095]

Yes they would have been named something else. Jagger and Richards were already together and singing the same songs before they met Jones. Jones had been trying to put a band together with no luck before he met Jagger and Richards. Without Jagger and Richards you would have never heard of Brian Jones. The Stones were about the music of Jagger and Richards. Jones is hyped to death because he died young. They hit their peak after he left.

[@alexscott7226]

Ian Stewart...

[@aliceborealis]

@@jerrypeters2095 It's probably true that the Stones hit their peak after Jones left, but even so- the Original lineup was great enough to go head to head with the Beatles, and that's not nothing. Some might say the Stones were BETTER than the Fab Four, because their shit was more blues-based, and they had a drummer that really swung. They were exploring the Blues in a way nobody else was doing at the time, and that had a lot to do with Brian Jones.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thats right!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wmsollenberger8706]

He used the Rose Morris 1993 on "Blue Turns to Grey" and the Rick 360-12 was used on "Get Off of My Cloud" and "Mother's Little Helper". He had a way of using instruments differently and sneaking them in, so it can be a pleasant challenge to locate where else he might have used a Rick 12. But being a multi-instrumentalist, it would be difficult to classify any one instrument as his "signature'. Blues harp, Dulcimer, Recorder, Sax, Tanpura, Sitar, Congas, keyboard, 6 & 12 string acoustic and electric guitar... and who knows what else he brought into the mix. Genius! He added a creative side to the Stones that set them apart and they were never the same without him.

[@steveconn]

@@lindadote Mick Taylor just masturbated solos, didn't contribute to their exploration of Gospel, Funk, Country, Disco, etc. post- Jones.

[@lindadote]

steve conn aka Rolling Ormond ......yes, I could have worded things better since Mick Taylor wasn’t around for the “Disco” debacle (utterly *woeful* crap imo). I’d say MT was infinitely more important to the band than your crude description indicates. It’s a fact that “Moonlight Mile” and “Sway” were composed without Keith who was “otherwise occupied” at the time and Jagger most assuredly didn’t compose these songs alone. Then there’s the gorgeous “Winter” off GHS. To describe a virtuoso guitarist (the man joined John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers at just 17 years of age) in the manner you do is disheartening at best. Ultimately, music is a personal thing so really only as good as the individual listener “hears” it or more correctly, *feels* it. Speaking for myself, the Stones have sounded bloody awful for far too long and I can’t remember the last time their music made me “feel” a thing. I love “music” as opposed “noise” so derived great pleasure from Jones’ and Taylor’s contributions. Different strokes....

Sam Haddad About 20 years ago I was in a music shop in a back street in Earl’s Court in London. I couldn’t believe my eyes when in the corner I saw a green Gretsch Anniversary exactly like Brian’s. I asked the owner about it and he told me it had belonged to Brian. I was beside myself with happiness and asked if I could pick it up and he said yes. I am a left handed guitar player so I had a quick strum upside down as I have taught myself to play upside down to a certain extent. It was such a great feeling to hold and play one of Brian’s famous guitars. While I was playing the owner told me that he had Keith Moon’s monogramed drum kit from 1967/1968 downstairs. I went into the basement and there it was stacked up in the corner. While I was in the shop Billy Duffy of The Cult walked in. What a great serendipitous day.

The 400 was a different guitar frequently seen on the Grand Ole Opry and there was no 600 I've ever come across. The pickguard is correct (though the 1985 Celebrity J200 has a pickguard as was seen on the 400. David Gilmour supposedly has 4 of the Celebrity J200 of the 90 made.

Yeah the Rolling Stone that you are not meant to talk about. I still don't know why; but he did a great job of nurturing / mentoring the band musically in those early years. They still use his licks.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Agreed Paul

[@pandereta4]

Thanks! this is a great video.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Pleasure

You stated Brian used an acoustic Gibson J 600...I believe it's a Gibson J 200. I Googled J 600 and there is no reference for such a model. Thank you very much for this series. Very informative on the evolution of these artist's sound and the gear that got them there.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks for the extra details - I realized my mistake after your comment so thanks!

[@HDPinkFloyd]

I often wonder if Brian and Steve Marriott (another gifted musician) paths every crossed

[@TheGuitarShow]

Good point

[@692MOM]

There are rumors they did sometime around 68-69 There is a youtube video of it, if is in fact legit!

[@BigSky1]

HDPinkFloyd I’m sure they did. In fact Brian was due to meet Humble Pie on the day of his death to see if if he wanted to join on organ and keyboards.

[@HDPinkFloyd]

@@BigSky1 wow, that would have been something else, thanks

[@craigoog]

@@BigSky1 I've read that too. Interview with Steve is where I saw it. If you listen to the first Pie album, could can imagine Brian doing so many bits. Sitar, recorder, keyboard stuff, slide ect. If he could have just made it a few more days. I think they would have worked well together. Small Faces and Stones were good friends.

[@arvidsmith1038]

Well Done Sir .... fascinating ...... I will post to our Brian Jones FB Page .... They'll want to know . Thank You ..

Pleasure!

[@sharonunfiltered]

I can't abide how disregarded he seems to be nowadays, he was a musical genius.

[@TheGuitarShow]

I agree sharon

[@DougHinVA]

He was disregarded since he became a dope addict and died of an overdose. Got it?

[@torontolarrivee7965]

That Vox 12 string with a whammy bar sounds like a tuning nightmare. Just insane.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Yes I agree a crazy guitar! Thanks for watching.

[@johnlynch3837]

great musician;it's sad to die so young.the good die young

[@joegoosebass3958]

great video bro

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks bro

[@ClockWerkOrange]

Well done with the historiography!

[@brucegibbins3792]

A sad, but given the man and the times, an inevitable loss. Excellent presentation, friend - I enjoyed this. Any plans on doing something similar - the bass guitars of Bill Wyman? A genuine interest in the bass prompts this question.

[@timsan55]

Thanks, enjoyed that, a lot of information that generally isn't out there.

[@marcbolan1818]

Brian also used a Rickenbacker 360.

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks I heard he used all 3 types

[@ggilvis]

very cool. his second Firebird - the non reverse one it (as did all non-reverse Firebirds) had a rosewood fingerboard

[@TheGuitarShow]

Thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

[@sasquatchalleged5759]

Miss him always

[@raulmacias1311]

Ramongoose, I'll never forget first hearing "The Last Time" on the radio when I was a boy back in '65! That Guitar riff I found haunting and mournful. What a cool riff! Brian Jones played that riff! Brian's slide work on "I Wanna Be Your Man " is mind blowing! You know, The Rolling Stones have never really divulged who plays Guitar on certain tracks. Brian Jones was credited as playing "Percussion" on "Midnight Rambler", but I don't hear Percussion on that track I hear two Guitars on that track. I've always believed it was Brian playing Slide and was credited in error as playing Percussion! Do you have any information on this topic? Felicidades! Raúl.

[@peterpanassow7814]

Awesome channel! Love Brian Jones. Can u highlight Carl Wilson of the Beach boys also? 👍

[@TheGuitarShow]

I love the Beach Boys and that's an excellent suggestion

[@eddiegill]

Brian did sound effects on yellow submarine

[@TheGuitarShow]

Jones played alto saxophone on the Beatles song "You Know My Name"

[@marsattacks7071]

[@TheGuitarShow]

Pleasure Eric and thanks for watching!
