Brian Jones + Keith Richards Lesson EP1 Historic Guitar Songs - The Last Time

[@dogsforlife36]

If was not for Brian Jones. I would never have picked up a guitar. He was my mentor. Still is. I hear any stones songs with Brian playing it makes me tingle all over. M C UK 🇬🇧

[@Leepal1969]

Great choice, this track has got everything for the improving guitar player to get practicing on.

Thanks Lee

Brian Jones's super power was taking a relatively ordinary song and turning it into a great song with a simple part. He kept doing that right up until Jumpin' Jack Flash when the Stones were finally capable of putting out complete bangers without his help.

[@TheGuitarShow]

I couldn't put it better myself

[@briantaylor2.023]

They did A LOT of stuff without his help before Jumpin’ Jack Flash, but ok… 🤡

Don't you just love all the great work Brian did on Play With Fire and Monkey Man and Give Me Shelter??? ...Oh wait...

[@RoyBennett-dz2cq]

Bangers? From when Brian was sacked, the stones got bigger and better..the greatest rock and roll band ..1969/1974 best albums..Brian did some stuff but couldn't tour with visa problems

Great song, great history about it. Golden days of the Stones for me. Ronnie Wood is great but Brian Jones and Mick Taylor years were the best. Just my opinion. Thanks for the lesson!

[@TheGuitarShow]

I agree Antonio thanks very much

[@garethgoodchild2643]

That was fun. Great memories. My high school,friends and I formed a band in 1965 and this was one of the many Stones covers we did. I think we wore out the 45 record playing it over and over trying to figure out the guitar parts. Walking the dog, Pain in my heart, Congratulations were some of the others. No You Tube videos to help you in those days!😊

[@ovalvox7888]

Well done! A great two guitar part song. Dual lead guitar by Brian and Keith during the break. Brian Jones really made this song a hit with his innovative lead guitar part.

[@williardbillmore5713]

That was NOT a "Lead guitar part. You know nothing about music. A repeated riff like that is an accompaniment. Lead guitar is improvisation. Brian could NEVER improvise. He did not have the talent .

@@williardbillmore5713 From Wikipedia The Last Time Brian Jones - lead guitar (riff) At least it is more complex than Keith’s simple Satisfaction three note riff that he gets credit for as lead guitar. Ironic that Keith started riffing the very next single after Brian thought of it first with the Last Time, which Brian wrote himself, authenticated by Keith himself on a 1965 interview. You are like a conspiracy theorist Williard. Constantly proven wrong. By the way I play multiple instruments. I just don’t brag about it like you always do. I’m not conceited.

[@williardbillmore5713]

I have Keith as proof that you are full of it from his 1965 interview stating that “whoever thinks it up.” You have been proven WRONG again by your own boyfriend Keith. Poetic Justice! Quit revising history. You irritate all of us who know the real truth of the Stones.

[@bluesingmusic3443]

Sadly I remember when this was the "New Music", yes I'm that old. Still one of my favorite Stones tunes. This was on the 1st Stones l.p. I ever bought "Out Of Our Heads". Many moons ago. Our next door neighbor had a Vox Teardrop guitar. His was purple. He was playing Johnny Cash (Well Luther actually) leads. He had the Vox amp too. He said he'd bought them as a package when they first came out. (Now I really feel old Goose. One bit of good news for me, just this year, my channel with some of my music, has gone from 15 subscribers to 41. I never pushed it of course. But still it's a nice little bonus.) Great job handling those riffs. I really love that jam. If I'm not mistaken that was their 1st hit here in the States.

When the Rolling Stones had their debut at the Marquee Club on July 12 1962 the musicians on stage were as follows... Mick Jagger , lead vocals Formerly the lead vocalist for the Blue Boys Keith Richards , main guitar and backing vocals,.Formerly the guitarist for the Blue Boys Dick Taylor, Bass guitar and backing vocals .Formerly the bass guitarist for the Blue Boys Tony Chapman drums and percussion .Formerly the drummer for the Blue Boys Brian Jones newly added guitarist. Ian Stewart newly added pianist.. This Accurate listing of the Rolling Stone's lineup makes it abundantly clear who JOINED who's band a couple of months before.

Ramón, this song was on the first Rolling Stones Mexican EP I ever bought back in 1970's. Satisfaction was on that same 1965 release! Recorded here on Sunset Blvd at RCA Records studio Hollywood, California. We pass by there all the time. Famous landmarks are here.

Keith Richards plays both acoustic and electric guitars on “The Last Time” on the studio version, which says in an interview. The solo is the electric guitar.

[@randybackgammon890]

Probably double tracked a bit of both for the rythym and mixed together.Common studio trick to beef up the rythym gitar

Bit left-field kind of question but at 1:40 it got me thinking… Do you subscribe to the CAGED system of playing? And if so what are your thoughts about the pros and cons of it, in your opinion, please?

[@williardbillmore5713]

Keith Richards revealed in an interview that this being the first song that He and Mick had written and presented to the rest of the band to play , they were quite nervous about how it would be accepted. One thing he said gave him the confidence to present it to them was the repeating lick that plays throughout the song... he was really proud of it. Yes Brian worshipers...Keith wrote that lick that Brian plays when Keith wrote the song. Brian learned it well and repeated it flawlessly all the way through the song... But Brian did not come up with it himself as many want to believe. Sorry. *“Mick and I knew by now that really our job was to write songs for the Stones. It took us eight, nine months before we came up with “The Last Time,” which is the first one that we felt we could give to the rest of the guys without being sent out of the room. If I’d gone to the Rolling Stones with “As Tears Go By,” it would have been ‘Get out and don’t come back.’ Mick and I were trying to hone it down. We kept coming up with these ballads, nothing to do with what we were doing. And then finally we came up with “The Last Time” and looked at each other and said, let’s try this with the boys. The song has the first recognizable Stones riff or guitar figure on it; the chorus is from the Staple Singers’ version, “This May Be the Last Time.” We could work this hook; now we had to find the verse. It had a Stones twist to it, one that maybe couldn’t have been written earlier-a song about going on the road and dumping some chick. “You don’t try very hard to please me.” Not the usual serenade to the unattainable object of desire. That was when it really clicked, with that song, when Mick and I felt confident enough to actually lay it in front of Brian and Charlie and Ian Stewart, especially,*

Who thought up the song along with all their other hit songs? Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, Jones was poser who played what he was told to play as long as it wasn't too complicated. Keith would have to dumb it down sometimes when Brian couldn't play the parts Keith wrote for him to play.

How can anyone in their right mind say that Brian Jones "founded the Rolling Stones when their debut performance at the Marquee Club On July 12th 1962 consisted of the band called the Blue Boys, Keith's band that had been founded the year before. They had changed their name and they added two new players Brian and Ian Stewart but the rest of the band was Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Dick Taylor on Bass and the drummer Tony Chapman.All members of the Blue Boys...Keith Richard's blues band. The songs they played that night were from the Blue Boys set list that they had been practicing for nearly a year, and consisted of mainly blues songs and some rhythm and blues Chuck Berry covers The performers on stage that night were the entire Blue Boys band, Keith's band. The only group Brian Jones ever founded was the 27 club. It is all a myth and a lie to say that Brian Jones founded the Rolling Stones. Brian JOINED the Blue Boys,Keith's band and THAT band then changed their name to the Rollin Stones.
