Ah! The elegant simplicity of rock and roll! Brian's great riff is one of he best of all time and virtually no one plays it correctly. You got it right here. The Teardrop Vox that Brian probably played it on has pickups that are said to be similar to a Strat's. Thanks.

Song is based on an old gospel tune, but the Stones added that absolute killer riff (one of the greatest riffs of all time of course). Based on what Keith says, Brian probably came up with the riff which is why Brian played it (Keith said that whoever came up with the riff generally played it) with Keith doing the guitar solo and the rhythm work including the acoustic playing. So there were definitely a number of hands involved in coming up with this song, but that riff is the thing that really makes it great.

The abundance of excellent Musicians in British Rock scene areas, contributed to the assembly of several great groups. From Greenie and the Mac, to Ronnie Lane assembling some great groups, the presentation of excellent tunes was a collaborative effect. The USA delivered the Blues to the Brits, they returned the Tunes with an imported flavor. John Lee saw it and collaborated with Brits..... The ability to exchange tips on tunes, created some lovely examples......

I struggled to find the Combination that was working for Brian and Kieth. A friend and I were attempting to play this with acoustic Guitars, that seemed to just never produce the sound that Stones Recorded. 14 year old Hormones simply do not get how the blend of a two guitar twang can produce the effects that Chet Atkins was capable of generating. The ability to understand Music Theory helped . But by then Brian was gone, and I had traded off that Nice Gibson Acoustic......

Ha! I always played it the same way on the G an B string down at the third and fourth fret, but I always knew it wasn't quite right. And I LOVE all the reverb on this track, I guess that was a big studio plate back then. I use hardware (Strymon BigSky) and software (Waves Abby Road Plates) emulations when I want that kind of sound on a recording. Those sound good, but it's never quite the same. This song was the Stones' first original song issued as an A-side single, and their first original song to hit number one. It's signature early Stones, really the sound and attitude that defined them. EDIT: Their first number one with any song was the Bobby and Shirley Womack penned "It's All Over Now". Womack originally opposed letting them record it and Sam Cooke talked him into it. That decision made him a rich man, and he later said the Stones could have any song they wanted.

“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, arbiter of events. With those earlier songs, we would have been chased out the room. But that song defined us in a way, and it went to number one in the UK. - Keith Richards from his autobiography “Life” *I guess this makes it clear where the riff Brian plays came from...* *Keith wrote it when he wrote the song well before he brought it to the rest of the band*

What a streak and sound.
