Wow!! Great stuff, Mick!!

I have to agree; The Stones were at their most potent, coincidently?, with Mick Taylor in the line up.

Great ! Guitar master Mick Taylor

@rickster1957 well thats valid,and he needs to be saluted,hes done much.

[rickster1957]

@dempsey981 I agree with you that there is talent in everybig city and more guitarist than ever. Many can shred faster than MT and in the ears of many " Trump" him in other ways. Yes Mick has slowed down hes 60+

But.........Mick is a very melodic player never overplaying and playing beautiful solos that fit each song. Thats a talent that many of these local hotshots simply dont have. Mick is a musician and mosts these posts are simply recognizing and saluting his talent . Thats all

@rickster1957 HAHA every big city 1st class guitar store i go into has got a pLAYER THAT trumps mick get serious art that dumbass stats/figures crap..its common sense LISTEN TO HIM!its mundane archaic over the hill stuff twas half a century ago nearly.im not try to beat him up,its just over thats all

@dempsey981 5000? Where did you get your figures from?

[davidkahan]

simply put; this is good blues. But with my eyes closed, I would not have recognized the melodic build-up I'm used to from MT in the Stones, and which to me is where he differentiates from others

Some of you less than kind condescending critics miss the point. There's a good reason why many "studio" musicians remain faceless and why Mick Taylor is Mick Taylor. Time won't pass you guys by because you'll never have "a time". Don't want to be harsh but when a couple of wannabes criticize like that it's kinda hard to take. Go shred in some closet please.

Bass player singing Sweet Home Chicago" ; Mick is using Freddie Kings "Hideaway" as his main theme and varying from that. Sweet home has a theme, and the old blues guys have to be given their due. You can vary all you want, as long as it is tasteful, but the main theme (riff, lick, hook) whatever you want to call it should be used as a catalyst for the song. jmo
