Solos is a personal thing. I think is a unservice action learn a solo note for note. Is rock music,isnt classic music. But the riffs is hugely important..
Man , this riff and song sends chills up and down my spine ... happens every time I hear it after so so many years . I was glad to hear that the Stones and Beatles were friends . Growing up . I never thought that was the case . Long live rock n roll , man . And God bless those British rockers !!
Absolutely agree. This is the greatest, most instantly recognizable opening riff ever. It's gotten millions instantly hooked on The Stones, including me at age 9. It's only rivals, imo, are Start Me up, Brown Sugar, Jumpin Jack Flash and Satisfaction...wait...they're all by the same guy. Kind of frightening actually. Thanks, Keith! LOVE (as in Love) Hackney Diamonds!
Keith may not be the most technically skilled guitarist, or anywhere even close to that, but he has written and played such a huge collection of unforgettable tunes that he goes down as the GOAT in my book.
When this song first came out, I pretty much ran to the record store (which was probably the record section in EJ Korvette's) and bought the 45. And played it incessantly. It had a unique sound and rhythm like no one else. My parents thought they were the devil's spawn, of course.
That blew my mind--that acoustic he was playing on Fallon is made for 5 strings. I knew Keith removed the top E string, but having a guitar built for that, that kills me. Man, you just gotta love Keith.
@@scaryfakevirus It depends on how you are looking at it. It is the top E string if the audience is looking at the guitar player, and it is the bottom E string when you are listening to the tone 🙂
Three minutes of content packed into a nine-minute video. And not a single mention of Charlie Watts' unforgettable drum line. This was a miracle of videography, I'm tellin' ya!
Wait…they have a drummer? Ok, relax. I was just kidding. The topic was guitar riffs and you went off on “DRUMS!” This entire song was incredible. But with just that one Keith Richards’ guitar note, you can name the tune. What other guitarist in history has ever done that? I love drummers. Charlie Watts (RIP) was epic. But temporality put that drummer fettish aside when the topic is guitar riffs. It’s apples and oranges. Post your own video on the greatest Stones’ drum solos. I’d love to watch it.
When I was a kid, the Rolling Stones made music that sounded more like magic to me. Now as a grown musician, I am still amazed he made that thing sound like it did. Only Keith.
Keith typically wrote the music for the Stones, and Jaeger wrote the lyrics. What a great team! They have been putting out great music longer than any other band. I read Keiths book, very good book, interesting, funny, a great read.
I totally agree Honky Tonk Woman is great, but for me "Can't you hear me knockin," "Gimme shelter," "Bitch," "Jumpin Jack Flash" are ALL right up there in the lexicon of GREATS by The Rolling Stones. I am appreciative of the contributions of The Rolling Stones music to Rock and Roll.
The thing about music is that, it's so subjective...This riff is one of the greats no doubt whatsoever, but many would have their own greats...If you're talking about the category of a riff being the most recognizable right off the first notes, there's just so many..A few comes to mind is 'Day Tripper'.. or even ' Smoke on The Water '...or 'Pretty Woman' ...there's just so many, lol
The funny thing about the intro (in the studio version) is that the drums are mistimed in relation to the cowbell (played by producer Jimmy Miller). Charlie Watts admitted that himself. But the mistiming created such a unique and unusual rhythm that immediately draws your attention and adds to the raw feel of the song.
To me Keef is one of rock’s ultimate greatest guitarist. That’s Nothing to do with speed, enless solo’s, but catchy guitar riffs and melodics combining with A superb timing and ofcourse the sounds open riff tunings painting songs in a untouchable way.
Jimmy Miller played the drums on HTW. He was demonstrating to Charlie what they wanted, but Charlie couldn't pick it up, so Miller ended up on the record instead.
Greatest Guitarist ever, some other of his riffs that would fit the title, Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, Slave, Start Me Up, the entire Exile on Main Street album, Jumping Jack Flash….
I taught myself this 20 or 30 years ago, but with Standard e tuning. At the moment, one of my guitars is tuned in open G.. I’ll give it a shot in the morning
The story in Memphis is that it happened at Ernestines and Hazel's on south main. Its still a gritty dive bar untouched and the kind of place that embodies the song.
thank you. for me, the most underrated, under appreciated Stone's riff is "All Down the Line." the way they created a train rolling down the tracks in that song gives it a driving force of nature.
Discovering a group of musicians who stick together like brothers, displaying unwavering loyalty through every challenge, is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Imagine this: a musician excitedly shares a fresh composition with the band, only to be met with laughter. This scenario has unfolded in practice rooms across the globe countless times. The reasons behind the laughter may differ - it could be that the idea seems too unconventional, the lyrics too personal, or the melody too experimental. Regardless, the laughter reflects a reluctance to venture beyond the comfort zone of familiar sounds.
Bro,they fight like brothers.. Ronnie Wood talked in a bunch of interviews that he needs to be a intermediator between Mick and Keith. They usually dont talk straight.. but they have a bond like group that is stronger than the feuds and negative talking.
Should your assertion be accurate, I would indeed align with your viewpoint. The intricacies surrounding the demise of Brian Jones persist as an engaging subject, fostering intellectual discourse. It is crucial to emphasize that no formal charges of homicide or definitive proof substantiating any nefarious activity have been presented or validated in the decades following his premature departure.@@billcook4768
the riff is of course legendary, but the song has the best line in all of rock n roll (or at least damn near it) -'she blew my nose and then she blew my mind', thats shakespeare level.
Why do people always get the name of this song wrong? It's Honky Tonk WOMEN. It's not just one of them - it's ALL of them that give me the honky tonk blues.
I remember being a kid around 1970 and hearing this in a "Big K" store down in Cookeville TN. One of the coolest riffs ever and cuts thru like a knife.
Yesterday, while driving home from work, I discussed this very song with colleagues and lo and behold, it shows up in my feed. And while you said 'keep rolling', I actually was doing just that. Going to light it up now, but no more funny business, alright? Thank you.
The greatest riffs Keith created were during his times with Brian Jones and Mick Taylor. Nearly everyone of them were classic. The chemistry brought the best out of him.
Yo bros and sisters love ! I love this band. I love The Rolling Stones ! Since a long, long time. But, i'm alive. "Ain't it good to be alive ?!". Thanks The Stones ! Merci les Stones ! Pour le trip, le galot, la virée, le voyage, l'expérience, l'attitude, le cool et le fun, et "les drogues et le sexe, et même un peu de Rock'n'Roll !"💀🆓🩸🔥🐒🖤👅💉🧿🚬🥃🙃🌑😈😎♾️
Keith and John Lennon are proof you don’t have to be an elite guitarist to create iconic riffs. All my loving, I feel fine stand out for Lennon and countless riffs stand out for richards.
I played along with the intro so many times on guitar my old man hid my Emerson record player. He told me 'I'm not giving it back until you learn another goddamn song'.
So many good riffs from the Stones. Jagger came up with at least a couple Brown Sugar and to a lesser extent Sway . Hard to say which is the most iconic. Pick your flavor.
It's funny I just came here after watching Ringo talk about how "Come Together", uh, came together. The songs are similar in how their intros meld a great riff with a unique rhythm pattern, resulting in two absolutely iconic songs by rock's two biggest band. And they were written about exactly the same time in 1969. Weird.
Crack me up Mike. I played for years, learned & played in open D, never open G,. Played not one note for about 9 years. Started back 6 months ago. Now most of the time is in open G. Shopping not for one... but for TWO 12 strings.... and you understand why....
@@JS-fd6jd ultimately the goal is to have a guitar for each tuning. I often use open D and E, G, DADGAD, DADDAD, DDDDAD. and DGCGCD. I have 10 guitars now, so it kinda works out.
I had a sailing boat, my first, decades ago, called "Honky Tonk" with the tongue painted by me... The next one was "Excalibur".. Anyway, "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out"... Honky Tonk Women... Mick Jagger saying before "Charlie's Good Tonight, didn't he?".. And then started playing his drums.. Read the book "Charlie's Good Tonight" and like a lot, learn a lot about jazz, Charlie Parker etc.. Charlie Watts had great personality, a true gentleman, and a devil on drums... This song is the open G chord, like many others, but what came first is the great Charlie Watts beat... This song is a completely duo, Charlie and Keith, followed each other.. From Country Honk to Honky Tonk Women, country to rock and roll... A flash in Keith head with this simple and great chord.. Jumping Jack Flash too, etc... Brown Sugar also..!!! But they quit to play this great song.. Not adequate nowadays to play it... That strange movement beat the Stones, put them on knees ...They were a great disappointment to me...
Nobody rocks it like Keef on the guitar so modest,@ Jimmy Fallon, gets my personal award for his Jagger impersonations! Far Out! Plus think of all the rock chicks that have sang on stage w the RS …..Mary Clayton RIP, Lady Gaga, Cheryl Crow and many hot more ! As Mick approved “😊
life is so cruel - when you're young, you're too stupid to appreciate every second... then you get old, feeble & realize how much you missed out in life & wish so much to be back
The Stones have many great riffs. I don't think I could pick a favorite. "Honky Tonk Women", "Brown Sugar", "Satisfaction", Gimme Shelter", "Start Me Up", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "The Last Time", "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Street Fightin' Man" to name a few.
Segundo a biografia do Keith Richards, a composição foi em uma fazenda localizada em Mato Grosso- Brasil (na época Mato Grosso era um Estado extenso e fazia divisa com São Paulo, anos depois foi dividido em Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul.
It was 'Not Fade Away' that got me into guitar when I was about 10 years old. I used to stretch an elastic band from the door knob to the catch to alter the notes. I liked that first single note and played it over and over. Guitarists are an odd bunch eh? The Stones were the first and most iconic Rock and Roll band ever! And they are still going!!
Dude,i loved this video and the references of my country. But in the subtitles isnt Mattal, is Matão ( which can be translated to Big Grass,in english),a really little city in the state of São Paulo (Saint Paul) ,not Sal. I readed that Mick and Keith received the nickname The Glimmer Twins by a rich woman in the capital of the state. They arrived with beer in cans in Matão, this was news here in those years, and they had a real good time in a farm of a banker heir, and the workers of the farm played viola caipira ( country viola ) that have 8 strings and is tuned in open d ( they call this tuning Cebolão, in english Big Onion ) regular or a step above,and in open g ( Rio Acima , or River Above ) and have other variation that is Rio Abaixo , or River Below. It is fun to think that the atmosphere of this trip to the rural side of São Paulo gave to the rock music this catchy track and their trip to Bahia gave inspiration to Sympathy for the Devil, after they entered in a Candomblé house.
Thanks for the catch! My bad on the subtitle mistake, it's Matão, not Mattal. But hey, glad you enjoyed the video and the nods to your country. That trip to the rural side of São Paulo definitely gave rock music some serious vibes! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
By the title I thought this was going to be about Satisfaction. Love that but Honky Tonk Woman is my favorite Stone song…in my top 10 songs of all time. It seems to be that the Beatles were outstanding, as was the Who and the Kinks…..no band has the chemistry as Mick -> Keith -> Charlie and then back to Mick.
“Solos come and go, but a riff lasts forever.” - Keith Richards
Solos is a personal thing. I think is a unservice action learn a solo note for note. Is rock music,isnt classic music. But the riffs is hugely important..
Ain’t that the truth!
Please let Keeeef last forever ❤️👍
He's so sharp with words! I haven't heard that one before.
Humans come and go, Keef Richards lasts forever.
Man , this riff and song sends chills up and down my spine ... happens every time I hear it after so so many years . I was glad to hear that the Stones and Beatles were friends . Growing up . I never thought that was the case . Long live rock n roll , man . And God bless those British rockers !!
You are not alone...
Did you ever watch Yellow Submarine by the Beatles? There are a couple of references to The Rolling Stones. Great movie, especially when........
Absolutely agree. This is the greatest, most instantly recognizable opening riff ever. It's gotten millions instantly hooked on The Stones, including me at age 9. It's only rivals, imo, are Start Me up, Brown Sugar, Jumpin Jack Flash and Satisfaction...wait...they're all by the same guy. Kind of frightening actually. Thanks, Keith! LOVE (as in Love) Hackney Diamonds!
Don’t forget “Can’t you hear me Knockin?”
and Street Fighting Man and Live With Me and Monkey Man and Bitch and Happy and All Down The Line and She´s So Cold and Slave and and and...
It was hard to pick a favourite riff out of his 60s stuff, and then he came up with Start Me Up (1981), and it got even harder!
Obviously you have never seen or heard of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Texas Flood opening riff...
Keith may indeed subjectively hold the record of the most iconic guitar riffs/intros of all time
Keith may not be the most technically skilled guitarist, or anywhere even close to that, but he has written and played such a huge collection of unforgettable tunes that he goes down as the GOAT in my book.
Simplicity is the key to music - not fast playing show off nonsense.
@@danherrick5785 Agreed!
Well… he’s somehow made out ok
@@danherrick5785I wanna move my feet. Not bang my head...❤

Three minutes of content packed into a nine-minute video. And not a single mention of Charlie Watts' unforgettable drum line. This was a miracle of videography, I'm tellin' ya!
The video is about Keith's riff and not the drum intro

Why am I amazed that he nails it perfectly? I mean, why wouldn't he nail it, it's his riff, he's Keith freaking Richards!
When I was a kid, the Rolling Stones made music that sounded more like magic to me. Now as a grown musician, I am still amazed he made that thing sound like it did. Only Keith.
The best riff 4 ever. When u hear that cowbell u know yr n 4 a surprise of greatness.
Keith typically wrote the music for the Stones, and Jaeger wrote the lyrics. What a great team! They have been putting out great music longer than any other band. I read Keiths book, very good book, interesting, funny, a great read.
Not! Keith wrote harmony and riffs, but Jagger whore melody and tekst!
@5:46 spot on for me. Thank you Keith for the inspiration and the life long journey of guitar!!!!!
Me too. The architect of the soundtrack to my mis spent youth
Man Jimmy Fallon can sing like Mick Jagger, or Jim Morrison, or Neil Young, or anybody he wants. Loved his "The Doors" imitation with Reading Rainbow.
yeah. no he can't. JF isn't remotely funny and sounds nothing like Jagger
And Keith can play like Ry Cooder.
@@ibberman LOL - Not sure which proposition is more absurd - the OP's or yours.
A photo finish at any rate.
Mr. Dave was Ry's only peer.
Yes a doofus poser and an embarrassment
Tip of the hat to Ry Cooder for showing Keith the Open G tuning and without doubt planting the seed for this monster riff.
Ry Cooder is a special class in his own rights.
and EVERLY BROTHERS ATleast one of them!!
And to the guitar geniuses of Bamako Mali Ali Farka Toure and Salif Keita who taught it to Ry Cooder
The intro on 'can't you hear me knockin' ' is right up there.
Yeah so is the live in 81 can't always get what you want...hands hardly even on the gat....
Can it get better than the sly tumbling dice entrance ?
Keith is the Rosetta stone of Rock.
Well said.
His bass line on Sympathy is epic.
I totally agree Honky Tonk Woman is great, but for me "Can't you hear me knockin," "Gimme shelter," "Bitch," "Jumpin Jack Flash" are ALL right up there in the lexicon of GREATS by The Rolling Stones. I am appreciative of the contributions of The Rolling Stones music to Rock and Roll.
Lest we forget Satisfaction’s open
Gimme Shelter is just wow
I first learned to play guitar in the Keith Richards Tuning. Open G all the way baby!!
The thing about music is that, it's so subjective...This riff is one of the greats no doubt whatsoever, but many would have their own greats...If you're talking about the category of a riff being the most recognizable right off the first notes, there's just so many..A few comes to mind is 'Day Tripper'.. or even ' Smoke on The Water '...or 'Pretty Woman' ...there's just so many, lol

It’s amazing the beginning of all there songs are so simple yet so strong and everyone recognizes it
Not gonna lie! I tried to learn guitar because I wanted to be like Keith!! RIP Charlie Watts and Bobby Keyes.

He is pure genius,simply and unique!

Mick Taylor and Can't you hear me knocking blows this riff away. The Mick Taylor years were the best years for the Stones.
Comparing the two perfect intros with each other tips your hand and robs you of any possible credibility.
The greatest riffs Keith created were during his times with Brian Jones and Mick Taylor. Nearly everyone of them were classic. The chemistry brought the best out of him.
Macht nichts, trotzdem hab ich diesen kleinen Vortrag genossen...den Song “Honky Tonk Women“ mag ich eigentlich sehr...Danke...war schön....🌻...
That riff is the reason I wanted to learn to play guitar back in the 70s.
Thanks Keith!
Exile …Can’t stop listening
I thought it was gonna be the opening riff for Can’t you hear me knockin’ 😎🎸 Love HTW too of course
Best song that the Stones produced - EVER.
These guys are immortal.
Whenever this song comes on “fuck yes!” Is the natural vibe felt by all who hear it …. Yes y yes yes yes more more more
I counter with "Can't you hear me knockin'" for Keith's most iconic riff..
Love the stone's
What's "stone's"?
Yo bros and sisters love ! I love this band. I love The Rolling Stones ! Since a long, long time. But, i'm alive. "Ain't it good to be alive ?!". Thanks The Stones ! Merci les Stones !

The opening riff of Gimme Shelter was always my favorite, especially when Charlie Watts comes in at 41 seconds. A masterpiece!!
I’ll go with opening riff of Can’t you hear me knocking as his best.
Thank you. At least one other reasonable dude in the world
Keith Richards is a legend
Keith no guitar player like Jimi, Jimmy, Jeff, Eric, Mick Taylor....He is so good. Angus too.
Technical ability... correct.
Memorable creative ability... he's up there with the greats.
Jimmy Fallon does an impressive Mick impression!!
Kieth IS a living legend 😎
So is Keith ! 😁

It's possibly originally from Ry Cooder. The cowbell were originally by producer Jimmy Miller to count them on but sounded do good they were left in.
