Rolling Stones-Little T&A (rehearsal) 1

[sbookerthegreat]

This should be what plays on the phone everytime you're put on hold. It would make me enjoy calling the mortgage company a hell of a lot more.

[koldkockrecords]

@sbookerthegreat Agree instead of shitty music.

[flapsdowngearup]

whos yo daddy!!! brnrbitw.

[jdgnevada]

So damn good, yes, gets better with age - 1,000,000 years from now people will be jukin' to the Stones.

[JahraldUK]

who is this black dude in the shade behind Charlie??

[retorical62]

@JahraldUK believe that might be Ollie Brown?

[audadvnc]

@JahraldUK - For awhile in the late 70's, Charlie had developed a nasty heroin habit, which screwed up his rhythm. The Stones considered retiring Charlie, but brought in a conga player with sharp chops to be Charlie's metronome. After awhile, Charlie realized he was killing himself with smack and alcohol, and backed off on both.

[crackernumber2]

@audadvnc your fucking wrong man... that was ollie brown who came with billy preston and toured with the stones 75-76. chariles problem was in the 80's

[sbookerthegreat]

@JahraldUK I think it's God.



[SnappyJones13]

The human riff...

[MegaMichalsky]

Just admit... Which time is it that you're listining to this track? 5,6,10...?

[petrologyboy]

This is beautiful. Further proof that Keith is my favorite guitarist.

[SJ9336JE]

this is typical Keith style, raw but irresitable.

[SJ9336JE]

Keith is great - his style is unique/ simple but damn unique. That makes the greatness of the Stones.

[rizzlaxl]

ive always like this better than happy

[orionilla]

NICE !!

11:49 Pm

Just got home..... drunk as a skunk and this just sounds so good :)

[ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Thank you for posting. The Stones set the bar pretty high for all other bands and show them all how it's supposed to be done. On countless Stones songs Richards and Wood play off each other so extraordinarily that it is absolute genius.

[straysailor]

I love the Stones, but they're not the same band without Ian Stewart and Bill Wyman.

[Nobjan]

@straysailor

What about Mick Taylor? 

[stehla10]

@Nobjan do you hear him on this track??:-D

[Nobjan]

@stehla10 Oh yeah. His playing reminds me of the beautiful voice of

a song bird: all of a sudden a lilting sound catches your ear and you

can't stop, you don't want to stop, listening because its so seductive

and hypnotic--you can't get enough of that sound. Guess you could

say I like his work. :)

[stehla10]

@Nobjan yes you are tottaly right :-) but here you hear ron and keith:-)

[wetube801]

Without vocals this could be a garage band in Wisconsin

[crackernumber2]

@wetube801 yeh well to bad your band never made it out of the garage

[jkllad]

Sounds like the punk version from Exile on Main Street. :-)

[fallenstarseven]

Rollicking instrumental rehearsal of "Little T&A" by the Rolling Stones featuring Keith Richards. Very tight.

[theghgh]

Can anyone tell me what type of guitar is playing starting at 0.22 ? I know nothing about guitars but I really dig the sound on this recording.

Thanks!

[dickstoolhammer]

A 1972 Fender Telecaster Custom, All Black With A Fender Humbucker In The Neck Position, It Has A Schecter Bridge And A Shaller Tuners, This Was Keith's Main Guitar For Many Years Especially During The 1975/1976 Tour Of The America's And The 1981/1982 Tour. He Used This During Little T&A, Under My Thumb

[laspenasdelfenix]

acabo de darme cuenta que little t & a y she so cold son hermanos rifferos.Hijos de las manos de Keith

[Gotindale]

realmente !!! Agora vejo que little t & a e she so cold são muito parecidas !!! Adoro as duas !!! Aliás, AMO KEITH RICHARDS !!!

[ashlarstar]

yeh this is fkn dOpe!

[mudcatGS86]

This sounds, better & better every time I hear it.

[orionilla]

@mudcatGS86 I prefer this song in concert

[clarkewi]

@mudcatGS86 Has a country twang that the Stones had in the "Gram Parsons" period - one of their best for sure. Pure decadence and dubauchery.

[pbuotte]

This instrumental demo cut is the SHIT!!

[wrldgornd]

Old Charlie and Bill in the background will blank faces but just a groovin.

[telegraphwire]

You can really tell how much the song owes to Eddie Cochran on this version. Ronnie Wood on the pedal steel makes it sound like She's So Cold part II

[sonoferin]

great-thanks for posting...but who's the afro king behind charlie in the picture? haha

[johnnyreeferseed]

Ollie Brown.

[gulord666]

Maybe Jagger's ex wife...

[hearsjimi]

he got two songs from this riff ....brilliant...shes so cold and T&A "shes my little rock n roll"

[jehu737]

She so cold? Or I am the only one who noticed?

[KeithRichards07]

Great version!!

I´ve heared that song once while Keith forgot to sing !!! Thats the Stones !! Stones vorever !!!

[getmeadoctor]

im certain its clear but, that 8 second pause prior to the first lick kicking in was to assure all cigarettes were lit. stones for life!!!!

[vdbdg]

infectious groove, great tape

[Southie657]

Woody was (is) at the top of the heap.

Hence guitar player for Rolling Stones.

Simple.

[BSlash24]

love the slide. Woody I'm finding is a better player than I thought. The rhyme is simular to stuff from Emotional rescue, like she's so cold & let me go.

[Louivanamsterdam]

my cousin Pedro do the same, inspired by the great Keith

[dannyd1572]

Wow...so this is what it would sound like with a pedal steel in it. Keith talked in an interview on how he got that slapback sound on the guitar. He rearranged and tuned down the top string to give it a ticky-tack sound.

[ZeropointZero70]

i think he used an echo unit. It's called a "slapback" where you set the delay to a milisecond which in turn throws whatever you play right back at you. It also gives the impression that you're playing in a big room with lots of echo. That effect is all over the Stones lpsfrom 78-82. And I love it!! Keith should use it more often.

[dannyd1572]

I wonder if its a special kind of delay or pedal?

[ZeropointZero70]

couldn't tell you that. I'm not Keith's equipment tech. Any old delay, analog or digital will get you that sound right out of the box. it's the easiest setting to dial in to. It might be an echoplex which is the size of a piece of carry on luggage, but by 1980 they were making them in stomp box units which are much easier to carry around.  and much more affordable too i reckon. They're a lot of fun to play through. They also enhance your sound too. Makes even a bad amp sound good.

[dannyd1572]

Great! Thanks. I have a floor model Crate, which I can sometimes get a nice Keith sound out of. However, Keith used a nice mix of Marshall heads and Mesa Boogie cabinets for a long time...what a nice mix :)

[ZeropointZero70]

Yeah the new Crate amps are nice little units. Much better than their solid state (UGH) rigs they came out with in the 80's. If you want the early 70's Keith tones, you gotta find an Ampeg from that period. Not the reverbrocket of Gemini models from the 60's. That's what they all used then. Make sure you use a Mark 1 Mesa if you ever get one. The later models are all great, but the early ones without the complicated dashboards really smoke!

[dannyd1572]

Don't know if your familiar with the Crate FXT120, but thats the model I have. I've messed around with some of the knobs and can sort of get the marshall sound. I use the same Tele as Keith and when it comes to playing hard rock chords...there is nothing like the raunchy sound of a tele.

[ZeropointZero70]

i don't know that one offhand. I like those crate 32 and 60 models with the 1 X 12's in 'em. But yeah, I do love my Tele. Bought a copper '52 re issue in '99. Didn't fall in love right away, but then one day a string broke during practice on my Les Paul and used the Tele for the night. Somehow it spoke to me that night and couldn't put it down for months! Went from being my mistress to  being my wife so to speak! Now she's my Little Rock and Roll! Oh uh huh huhh.....!

[dannyd1572]

Thats so great man! Rock on! Long live Keef! I guess if we all could sound like him, he wouldn't be Keef. Mine is a 1972 jet black, Tele..just like his, only mine is a Squire. I also have the double humbuckers. He uses a humbucker with a single coil. I still get great sounds from it.

[stratcat3142]

@dannyd1572 He used an MXR delay pedal (analog) back then ...for "Some Girls" / Tattoo You." A lot of that stuff is from the same era, even though the albums are 3 years apart. Pretty much any digital/analog delay pedal will get you in the ballpark. Just set it for a few millisecond slapback and you're off....let your ears be your guide

[dannyd1572]

@stratcat3142 Don't forget She's So Cold from Emotional Rescue. Same sound. I have a nice Crate twin floor model that has a nice effects knob with about 10 different effects. I can basically get this sound right out of it. But then again I have a 1972 custom Tele....just like the man himself :)

[Phunkville]

Love that 78-82 sound so much, first stones music I heard was Some Girls when I was a wee lil' boy! , thank you for the technical breakdown. Amazing

[koldkockrecords]

this sounds great.Nice demo that's that Keith Richards guitar riff and Ron's wood slide. Thanks for posting this I can't stop listening to it. I'll listen to take 2 also

[jimjamaica]

slippin dice

[shdgashgda]

i agree, that is classic richards guitar work..... the train track thing is also in his reggea stuff, and check out slippin' away on steel wheels he also does it on she's so cold, yap yap(solo)...and you dont have to mean it.... he is the "riff master"

[ForTheHeart76]

I love the stacato train track sound he was getting off his electric guitar. The Rolling Stones were always so innovative.

[dannyd1572]

@ForTheHeart76 Yeah he said something about how he put a heavy guage of string and tuned it down to get that "tick tack" train sound. Makes the song. Well, that and Charlie.

[oreokookie1000]

@ForTheHeart76 Stollen off Johnny Cash and chet atkins too!!!! 1950's shit, man
