  • the simple little lead riff that kicks off "if you can't rock me" is such a clean and casual toss-off that the genius of it goes right over yr head. epitome of cool, nothing to prove, just a cool, exhilarating breeze of exquisite tone and slippery pentatonic bliss. it's really all i need in a riff. dude kept it real.

    The stones were at their best when Mick Taylor was with them. He lit the band up. Great guitarist indeed.

    Mick Taylor is definitely my favorite classic rock guitarist. He doesn’t get the press of some from that era but his playing was fantastic. One of the big three guitarists to play with John Mayall along with Clapton and Greeny.
  • Dude!!! I love the way you can unpack SOOOOO much out of a short lick! You break it down into chunks and you give us visuals, which makes it so much easier. You give us the notes AND you give us the theory which allows us to be creative and expand upon the ideas to meet our own needs! And you keep it short but sweet! You're an awesome teacher!

    I am so happy to see Mick Taylor getting his flowers here on YouTube. So many channels recently (past year or so) have been covering his work and techniques which I am endless grateful of. Thank you for the video!

    Taylor’s work on Ya Ya’s is what really got me into rock n roll
  • @doublek321
    I love Mick's playing on "Time Waits For No One".
  • @2war2bray
    The way you explained the guitar work here is excellent, some of the best I have observed if anyone wants to get anything out of it. Well done.
  • Thank you, sir. Those graphics for the seven ascending triads are a huge help to viewers' appreciation of the relationship between mode and scale on a fretboard. A lot of work went into this. You're giving Beato some tough competition -- or as prefer to look at it, we're blessed with different presenting styles, allowing a breadth of viewer/student/subscriber experience of music theory!

    Great video! Felt like you made it for me. I’ve been obsessed with this solo for at least 35 years upon first discovering it in high school. I’ve also been a guitar player for even longer than that and while I could always play Keith’s solo, the skill level to play Mick’s was always just above abilities. Every year or so I give it a go. You’ve inspired me to take another stab at it. Thanks for the video!
  • @Theweeze100
    Thank you so much. I’ve always loved that album, I think it’s one of the greatest live albums in history, and seems to be a real sleeper. That was a great break down of that solo. I’m glad I have subscribed to your channel.😮
  • Outstanding tutorial. The graphic overlay on the fretboard are fantastic and the guitar sounds great. Thanks!
  • @MattGranz
    Thanks Mark! I love this lesson. After years of stopping this song during Keef's lousy solo I finally heard Mick's contribution and was immediately wanting to learn it. I taught myself but of course learned it wrong. Your lesson was beautifully done. I want to see you do the rest of his solo now. 😁
  • @Anjohl
    Love the overlays on the fretboard! As someone just starting down that journey (learning the fretboard, not playing, been playing for 30 years!), that makes it all come together so much better!
  • @jimc6687
    This short lesson tops Mark's all-time favorite and best portrayed lessons!! Great job, M.Z.!! Jim C.

    Mick was amazing he was only about 20 and I wondered how someone so young could be so masterful and what I saw as unorthadox for a blues player. "Sympathy" and a song called "Vacation" which he did with John Mayall inspired me to play guitar. Thank you for your lesson on this song. Over 50 years later Im still messing it up.
  • @Teleman73
    Great lesson as always! Mick Taylor has been a great inspiration, I need to go back and listen to him.
