The Last Time - Rolling Stones

[charroelton]

Guys please !! Like Brian Jones or not like Brian Jones !!! This is damm good guitarplaying. I know what I'm talking about. It's already hard enough to produce good sound out of a guitar, believe me. My congratulations.

[DavidCKendall]

Thanks for demystifying it...I'm just a beginner on electric, and this is very helpful.

[rafaultimate69]

Could you please post a lesson on this one??

[1YBTU8]

Hi - Brian plays it thus: Slide up to 9th on D hit 7th on G. Then 9th on D, 9th on G (BJ uses his little finger, I prefer a bar). Then (the magic bit which makes this riff so great): Open D, hammer 9th on D, 7th G. Finally: Open A hammer 7th on A then 6th on G. WHAT A GREAT RIFFFF!

[jaspurr77]

average guitar and amp..WTF? This sounds great there's nothing diminished in the overall effect of the piece..you're in music for the wrong reasons if you start talking about the 'right way' even still when the 'wrong way' sounds jsut as good. You'd be as well sitting in a padded room reading the serial numbers of microphones...bedtime for you

[wta095]

very good i say

[750tblack]

I do it this way too.Heck even the Stones themselves have changed things up over the years on their own songs. If it sounds good then it is good end of story

[alangriff1]

I can't fault your playing, whether the Stones play it on higher frets. It sounds great to me. A good job. Groups sometimes vary their styles on stage anyway - different to their recordings.

[filmworksusa]

Excellent version - yeah, it looks as if Brian was playing it in a different neck position - but this sounds really good. The solo is nailed, my friend. Great job.

[lovesromy]

I think you are playing it just fine-enjoying it.

[YTOnceAgain]

well yeah, brian DID play it higher up the neck / on lower strings... but I think with your average guitar and amp, the sound is much closer to the original when you play it like this guy. it all depends on what you're after. maybe there's a guy playing it on the "right" strings... and then kids will go "brian used the index finger, not the middle..." or "he used a fender pick" or "his volume-knob was at 8.34" ;-)

[wellergilardino9]

@YTOnceAgain Average guitar and amp? Lol go do some research.

[YTOnceAgain]

@wellergilardino9 Go work on your reading comprehension skills.

[wellergilardino9]

@YTOnceAgain Don't try put up an argument if you don't know what you're talking about, makes you look silly.

[auschuck65]

This guy plays damn good! If I had been able to play a guitar this good, I sure as hell wouldn't have been an air conditioning repairman.

[Lisica2008]

@auschuck65 Ha!

And I imagine that MrJohnnyVolume isn't a professional musician, either--seems a bit too anxious to show off what he knows.

[crichardc]

Who gives a shit if its not the same exact way brian played it. Whats originality for

[ajj4account]

It sounds very good to my ear.

[nyerndc]

This guy plays great. Such stupid criticism comments.

[matco24]

@nyerndc exactly...and who cares if it isn't note for note..lol..people can be so bitchy on here...

[privettricker]

@MrJohnnyVolume We've been through this. It's getting boring, particularly the gratuitous use of exclamation points.

[zed0469]

@MrJohnnyVolume .... Who cares, sounds the same, if it sounds good it is good.

[Philtration]

@MrJohnnyVolume Sorry but this is closer then the rest of the videos that I have seen on YouTube.

[The170460]

@MrJohnnyVolume where is your rendition on You tube ??????

[davehard99]

great cover man

can you post the tabs for the intro please

[CaptainPrivate]

there IS a difference in where you play the notes. The tone of D and G strings (as Brian opens the phrase) is much different than the open E1st and D chord arpeggio. You play different positions on the neck, not just for the notes but for the tone. (An open E vs a fretted E is a simple illustration of a difference even when the string guage is the same.

[Zelittlerocker]

I love your guitar !

[seth1066]

If you've watched the vintage Stones tapes of this song played live, it's usually, like a lot of Stones live stuff, in a faster tempo than the original studio recording. For all we know, Jones could be playing an economy version of the same notes, but on a different part of the fretboard, for easier/smoother playing for the fast version.

[629pyxi]

if you were to do that, it would be AWESOME--and I would be very grateful : - )

[629pyxi]

yes, he did do the same notes--this is not to take anything away from you. However, I have yet to find anyone, including on the standard tab sites, who can accurately duplicate what Brian Jones did; not just the notes, but the fingerings as well.

[privettricker]

@629pyxi I'll see if I can post that other fingering soon.

[629pyxi]

That is NOT how Brian Jones did it. There is a vintage video on YouTube of how it's done, but the quality is not good. I'd be very grateful to anyone who can properly represent how Brian Jones did it.

[privettricker]

@629pyxi He did different fingerings up the neck using the same notes.

[lafreeway]

@629pyxi I am not very smart so could someone please explain to me why it makes a difference where the notes are played if the notes are the same. I see people posting all over youtube complaining that someone did not do something EXACTLY like someone else. I don't get it. Could someone please explain why I should not enjoy this video. Thanking you in advance.

[privettricker]

@lafreeway Truth be told, there really is no difference. But I can understand how some people would want to play it with the identical fingerings to the recorded versions. I get fanatical about playing some songs exactly correct, but for other songs I couldn't care less.

[Lisica2008]

Interesting--and I don't even play guitar. Thanks for posting!

[TheSmithIsDead]

what knda pedal you using? thats some clean distortion

[privettricker]

@TheSmithIsDead No pedal, just straight into a Marshall 50-watt half-stack.

[buzzfuzz146]

Another great one as usual. 

[richkreider]

Great playing, great tone.

[noelgod]

beautiful guitar, truly beautiful 

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

thank you for covering the stones. most of the tabs suck. and its easier to learn from watching you : D please cover more stones. you help me alot. and i love your tone

[whatwouldjudydo]

Brian Jones would be proud, man.

[playlikemicktaylor]

Just FYI, the original riff (Brian Jones' part) was played on the 7th fret position D and G string

[TyroneShuuze]

I was 5 yrs old when I heard this song on the radio

now I can learn to play it.Thanks.

[EzaBlade1]

If you search on here for 'The Rolling Stones (NME-1965)' and check that video (I couldn't put the link in this comment)

The song starts at 6:43.

The main riff can be seen near 7:30.

The chorus chords can be seen near 7:52.

They seem to be different to yours and I thought this may be hepful if you figured this song by ear and haven't seen i played. I am a complete guitar beginner so forgive me if I misunderstand.

[privettricker]

@EzaBlade1 Same notes, different hand position.

[303y03]

@EzaBlade1 The way Brian Jones played it (Hammer Ons) is hard to pull off without significant amplification.

Makes me think of the All Right Now riff. Several ways to play it, but no-one does it the way as Kossoff originally recorded .

[CrumitFrank]

I've never seen a tab or demo of the basic riff that wasn't missing at least a couple of notes. You got 'em all - congrats.

[narancor]

Well done.

[reroyo2]

you should do some black crowes

they do alot of open g stuff like the stones

[privettricker]

@reroyo2 Check my channel.

[weczq4]

Thanks for taking another one of my requests man! Much appreciation sent your way. Love the tele too.

I do have another question though, how do you decide what guitar to use in your lessons?

[privettricker]

@weczq4 These days, it comes down to whichever guitar has strings that aren't caked in rust and crud! Otherwise, I try to use something that's a bit similar to what's on the recording.

[davejviking]

lesson time for us dumb guitar players

[zuperbal]

Hey Man,

Great playing! Who made the Tele?

Roclk it!

[JV2120]

one video away from 666

you should celebrate with either some Sabbath or maybe something heavy

ya know?

just a thought

KEEP ON ROCK'N!

[nearvana2003]

Love it man well done!
