A stab at MT's glorious solo on the 1974 "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" album track. Case study in sophisticated simplicity: MT plays C major scale throughout. (The opening line is technically G Mixolydian, but whatever — it's C-derivative.)

It's all in the phrasing and musicality, which I can only approximate.

Best to digest this solo piece by piece. Some of the phrases don't flow intuitively.

  • Fantastic, many thanks. I've been obsessing over this song for the past couple days, I figured out the main part on guitar, and am very pleased to come across this exquisite coda to cap it off. I'm wondering if the backing chords are Am and Em alternating, or does it just hold Am, or something else?

  • @JackStraw65

    The chord progression for the solo is basically C and F ... A Cmaj7 sounds nice, too.

  • Very good! Mick Taylor is one of my favourite guitar players, you did an excellent job, pretty close to the master ;) Is your guitar a es335? I would like to buy a new one (currently I have an Epiphone Les Paul), but I hesitate between a Gibson Les Paul and a Gibson es335. Which is better for Taylor-like guitar playing ?

  • @oclero

    Here I'm playing a Gibson ES-339 -- smaller, lighter body than the 335, but without any sacrifice in tone (or so the theory goes). MT's signature sound is derived from the Les Paul, without a doubt.

  • Nice job- one of my favorite tracks on that album. I think MT uses a Strat on that solo. Pretty Sure. Your Gibson sounds awesome. I can't complain about your sound.

  • Ohh. How can I get this slow motion with tab!?

  • ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT ! ! !

  • @oclero - Get a Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard! Do not hesitate! You do not want an ES335. Go to the Gibson web site and read the interview with MT. He swears by his (reissue) Les Paul Standard.

  • very nice
