@@sandecoffey9125 I read that Taylor had developed a serious drug problem after a few years with Keith and the rest. And I'm pretty sure he wasn't getting paid the same as the original members. Probably still a good gig but maybe kind of insulting after a while. So for his own sake he needed to get out of there. The Stones gig gave him more fame than his career had up to that point but it became destructive for him personally. Too bad, Sticky Fingers is a high point for them. But Jimmy Miller the producer of that album was another one who became a party animal around the time of working with the Stones and he wound up self-destructing. So everyone can look at it all as they want. Ideally if Mick Taylor could gave stayed with them for a few more years then their sound would gave been that much stronger musically. But at least he's lived a long life and is still around to talk about it. The same can't be said for Brian Jones or Jimmy Miller.

Mick Taylor has complete control of both kinds of vibrato.He mastered the parrallel and the horizontal vibrato.The parrallel is extremely difficult,due to the exact place needed to wobble the string up and down, without going sharp or flat.This takes years of playing,only heard Jeremy Barrs? even get close. He is on u tube playing note for note, even with parrallel vibrato. A young, talented guitarist that may have a date with destiny.The horizontal is like violin players use,and some, like Jeremy use both effectively.

I know this from one thing and I play the guitar, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Von, Robin Trower, David Johansen all play and sang in a flat key and they tune their guitars down one full step and when you want to learn to play a song by them you have to tune your down a full step in a flat and it was always a pain in the ass retuning my guitar to a flat to listen and figure out how to play songs by these greats. Without a doubt when your brain is wired differently when your hands can play an instrument in what would be anatomically imposable for a normal mortal man like me or you. Around 1982 I met a guy who worked in Sam Ashe who was ambidextrous and could switch sides and play the guitar better than I could play it right side up, amazing stuff. Peace.

SRV was all over Albert King.....it's really obvious...on his slow blues jams.......I love Stevie.....but to me Johnny Winter rises to the top...not only because of his incredible slide playing and well rounded acoustic open tuning picking but because he mixes all of the blues influences together to have his own style that you can't put your finger on a definitive influence....

Albert broke Stevies heart when he told him he could do better. The look on Stevies face was dire.

Me too. Johnny Winter and Mick Taylor are my 2 top guitarists. And Johnny had that wicked singing voice too, even till the day he died . Ya, i liked Johnny's mix of high energy Blues and Rock and Roll .

I hate most harmonica players. I have time playing harmonica on stage. I’d turn my mic off during vocals and call and answer blues. When the lead guitar player looked at me, I’d do 12 bars and look at him. If he nodded, I did another 12 bars and got out. Otherwise, a harmonica sounds like someone stepped on cats tail. This harmonica player ruined the whole song.

The great Albert King,with this groove and this classy voice who played guitar with a right hand tuning on the left hand. Trebel strings at the top. 🧐 ❤

I saw a Jack Bruce with Rory Gallagher vid of this song too. And here as there they are both too up-tempo for the song. Like they were coked up or something. There's plenty of space for licks as is heard in Cream's LP version but here as well as there...too cokey.

Taylor's a virtuoso.......but........it's AK's simpler, less fancy and more direct, piercing, nerve tingling, wild-bird playing that leads everything here. There's absoluely no doubt who's playing when AK steps up. As great as MT is, he still sounds like everyone else, (among a select "everyone") and his play is a composite of all the stuff he's assimilated. Not so with AK.....In his case the play is purer, and just totally him, which to me anyway is why it's such strong medicine. They're both great, but my money would always be on Albert when it comes to old blues....with rock, it would be Mick. I learned his leads on "Hide Your Love" from Goats Head Soup note for note years ago....and I thought he was far and away the best guitar player the Stones ever worked with. The balls it took to quit that band to do his own thing........to say nothing of what it ook to get in in the first place.

Albert King told SRV he was good but I know you could be better. The look on Stevies face was shock. Taylor in his prime was the best and most unique guitar player. Makes Mayer look like a amuture.
