Time Waits For No One - Rolling Stones - Mick Taylor's Melodic Lines

Me playing Mick Taylor's melodic parts of Time Waits For No One, from the Rolling Stones' It's Only Rock'n'Roll album

[@stevendavis1940]

Great job with one the most underrated guitar pieces. It took the Stones to a different level, and few people recognize this.

[@Justincelos]

Thank you, Steve! Too bad the Stones never did this song live, isn’t it?

[@mjp96]

I am one of the few. Peak Stones, gave them a whole new element.

[@guillermotafolla4516]

I recognized in 1983!

[@beatlebruno]

the best guitar of the entire career of the stones

[@bgierat]

This is my favorite guitar track of all time. Mick Taylor is a genius. The solo transports me to another place. Amazingly beautiful.

I listen to this album like 8 times a day because I drive a taxi and it's the only CD I have in the car, I think I listened to it more than 200 times last month, people seems to like it at least, so I'm spreading stones music somehow. Thanks for the video, from Argentina.

[@Justincelos]

I’m glad you liked my video, Emanuel, thank you! This album is also one of my favorites, and that’s good that you’re spreading it to your passengers! Greetings from Brazil!

[@747heavyboeing3]

My favorite Stones solo guitar ever. I think Mick knew his time was coming to an end with the Stones . He quit at a Christmas party in 74' Thanks for allowing me to enjoy this treasure.

[@Justincelos]

I’m gald you liked it, 47Heavy Boeing, thank you!

[@haolefly]

Must mention how Mick's playing is delightfully augmented by Nicky's brilliant piano. Particularly the last few minutes of the number. Oh my!

[@sfeigh]

This is one Mick Taylor definately should have gotten his writing credit for.

[@howardtyler7]

One of THE most gorgeous and brilliant guitar pieces ever. You have done Mick proud. I love the haunting qualities of the piece and the obvious nods to Carlos Santana. The genius of Mick Taylor beautifully performed. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Justincelos]

[@johnfurst8803]

Wow! I could watch and listen to this all night!

[@2oldforzis]

For some reason this last solo has always brought tears to my eyes. I thought only Mick Taylor could do that, but you just made me look for a handkerchief, so I'm not sure I have to thank you--but I sure admire you.

[@Justincelos]

Thank you for your kind words, 2oldforzis, I’m glad you enjoyed my video!

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

Justin is showing people what really happened back then. Most people think the only Mick the Stones ever had was Jagger.

[@LoveBandit1000]

WOW! My favorite Stones tune! I will never understand why it doesn't get more accolades...

[@Justincelos]

Yes, LoveBandit1000, too bad MT quit the band just after the release of the IORR album, so the song never got a chance to be played live.

[@johnfurst8803]

Mine too!

[@dcr9233]

This is like entering a Disneyland of better understanding of the Taylor Stones era. What a gift. Thank you Justin. You rock

[@Justincelos]

Thank you so much for your very kind words, DC R!

[@markhoward8097]

Justin, that is brilliant on so many levels. Your playing of the great Mick Taylor is absolutely flawless. Secondly, the fact that you know the guitar so well and that your ear is so good that you can pick out the subtleties of Mick’s playing is incredible. I love how you show multiple cameras when there are acoustic parts including harmonics or two electrics. I have watched many videos of others playing Taylor and Richards parts. This is the very best in my opinion.

[@Justincelos]

Thank you very much for your kind words, Howard! Your comment is a great incentive for me to keep posting these videos!

Mick Taylor was my number one guitar hero growing up, learning some of his Stones licks. This one was one of them and showing it all courtesy of Justin! Bravo!!! Brilliant!!!.....it is amazing in so many ways....beautiful, elegant, truly a piece for good players to have a great example of style, structure, melodic interpretation and generation, makes great music. When I saw Mick Taylor play this song live I was almost in tears at how beautiful it was, with the other guitars, piano....wow, what a memorable night.

[@Justincelos]

Thanks a lot, Mike, glad you liked my video! And so nice you were able to watch Mick Taylor live performing this song!

[@mikeoconnell8031]

[@Justincelos]

Thanks a lot, Mike! I really like that song too!

[@teresadolan1524]

Talented dexterity. great rendition...Incidentally just along the road from me..I am in France...poor me...but someone has indelibly chalked on a wooden hut along the roadside that Time Waits for No One...oui en anglais...it's been there a few years...Never has a phrase been more pertinent than at this particular moment in time... Here melodically played as a homage to the great Mick Taylor..and to the fabulous Rolling Stones...Time Waits for No One and it is certainly not waiting for me... This is my favourite Stones song too... It has great resonance for me.

[@Justincelos]

Thank you, Teresa! What an interesting story! This song has great resonance for me too.

[@brianelliott9861]

This is a work of pure genius - a timeless classic. Everything is perfect for the mood and the lyrics which Shelley would have been proud of . The arrangement, the choice of instruments -particularly the piano as backing are so moving. I love Jagger's wistfulness and his vocal intonations which are perfect. And of course Taylors guitar finale is magic.

[@brianwalsh6666]

A great gift for people all over the world, Justin. A remarkable lesson in every respect and I'm happy to read people's grateful comments. Songs about time, like this one and Pink Floyd's, continue to haunt and prod us. I'm actually glad that this gem never got overplayed like so many of the others. Still fresh and provocative. Thanks for sharing your obvious passion... Brian

[@Justincelos]

[@markanthonyhauck9438]

Bravo! I always considered this Taylor's crowning achievement as a soloist in his relatively brief time with the Stones. Does anyone else detect a Carlos Santana-ish vibe in the phrasing or "feel" of this solo? And the tone! I could swear I'm hearing this played through a Mesa Boogie. Witnessing it being so immaculately performed here brought tears to my eyes!

[@Justincelos]

Many thanks again, Mark Anthony Hauck! You're right in the comparision with Santana, as a matter of fact, I see similarities also in Can't You Hear Me Knocking solo, don't you think? And yes, I used a Mesa Boogie Mark IV for this recording, good ears!!

[@eddelc]

Sure, kind of Santana Song of the Wind. Anyway Taylor is a guitar master.

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

if you consider the stones were really a great band from 63 to 82 than those 5 fives don't seem so scant... plus they were their best years

[@FenellaBeach]

Just found this and so pleased. One of my favourite solos of all time and you've nailed it - flawless transcription and feel. One of those solos that's just right out there on its own, it just sounds different. Sounds Santana(ish) - but don't know if that was intentional. Read an MT interview many years ago - he said Jagger had promised to share the songwriting credits with him, but it came to nothing - shame, without the solo it's only half the song.

[@Justincelos]

I'm glad you liked it, Fenella, thank you so much! Yes, it is really a shame that MT has not received any songwriting credits for this song. His contribution here is huge, thanks to him it sounds unlike anything the Stones had ever done.

[@udohoppe6243]

[@747heavyboeing3]

@@Justincelos I have a question. Can you play a song by ear after just hearing it?

[@Justincelos]

Interesting question, @@747heavyboeing3. It depends. In some cases, when the song is not highly complex, I can learn the basic stuff after listening to it once. But to learn all the nuances (for example, the regions of the neck where it was played, or which parts were picked or played with hammer ons and pull offs, or the intensity of the bendings and vibratos, etc), several listens are needed.

[@z-rex6068]

[@Justincelos]

Thank you, Keef Richards! The solos are very long, so it is natural that it takes more time to decorate all its parts. Barcelona is a lovely city, I was there in 2017 to see the Stones at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Gran abraçada per a vosaltres!

Wow! I just came across this in my weekly "going down the rabbit hole" of all things Stones on KZbin. This song, for me, is Top 5 Stones songs ever. It's possibly the only guitar solo that can bring tears to my eyes. And Justin, you absolutely nailed it beyond belief!!!! Yes, Mick Taylor would love this (if he hasn't already seen it), and such a pleasure to watch your finger work up close. To my knowledge, , the band has never performed this song live.

[@Justincelos]

Many thanks for your very kind words about my playing, Aaron! And yes, this is a really nice solo, which unfortunately was never played live by the Stones.

[@aaronsegal2819]

@@Justincelos One of the best solos ever, by anyone. Never played live, to this day. I believe Mick Taylor has done it live with his own band (will look tonight on KZbin!). Strangely enough, when Taylor toured with them in 2013 ( he only did 2 songs a night with them), this was not one of them.

[@aaronsegal2819]

@@Justincelos How long did it take you to nail that solo?

[@Justincelos]

I won't lie, @@aaronsegal2819, it took me quite some time ti do it. First I had to listen to all the subtleties MT did in each track, which was not always easy (especially in the acoustic parts). Then I had to learn all the notes and also the fingering (I've seen several videos of this song in which people made the phrases using the 4th finger - instead of the 3rd -, which is not how MT normally plays. Finally, I had to memorize everything.

[@aaronsegal2819]

@@Justincelos That's was one of several things you showed in the video that I loved.... both the acoustic parts & electric. I'm no guitar player( 3 chords!!), but I've always been "'obsessed " with listening carefully to the parts of his solo that are kinda buried under the mix. There is another guy on KZbin that attempts to do the very same song & solo....his name escapes me....he does well but nowhere near your version. There is one major difference, in my opinion: your passion shines through. You can feel it. It shows.
