@humphrey peek Bullshit and I've heard it all for decades. Of all the debates and arguments that's never been one of them. Keith wrote the lyrics, the music for Ruby Tuesday and the only debate is how much if any credit should brian have received for writing the melody with the recorder which he never really claimed to write the hook but enough solo was done that there are doubters. There is no doubt that Brian had absoultely nothing to do with Satsifaction. Bill Wyman years later claimed to have written the bass line to Jumping Jack Flash which is in doubt for one it's very similar to the Satisfaction riff.

Jones had been trying to put a band together with no luck before he met Jagger and Richards. Without Jagger and Richards you would have never heard of Brian Jones. The Stones were about the music of Jagger and Richards. Jones is hyped to death because he died young. They hit their peak after he left.

Some might say the Stones were BETTER than the Fab Four, because their shit was more blues-based, and they had a drummer that really swung. They were exploring the Blues in a way nobody else was doing at the time, and that had a lot to do with Brian Jones.

You never see him in lists of great guitar players but he belongs there. People don't even know he started the Stones. There is a plaque at Dartford train station that says it's where Mick and Keith met and formed the Rolling Stones. He was so far ahead of others.

Although I loved Mick Taylor’s gorgeous guitar work, it’s a fact that the early music had a uniqueness to it, thanks to Brian’s varied use of instruments. A sound (and magic) the band have *never* managed to recapture. I lost interest in the Stones a very long time ago, the music became far too predictable and repetitive imo.

He used the Rose Morris 1993 on "Blue Turns to Grey" and the Rick 360-12 was used on "Get Off of My Cloud" and "Mother's Little Helper". He had a way of using instruments differently and sneaking them in, so it can be a pleasant challenge to locate where else he might have used a Rick 12. But being a multi-instrumentalist, it would be difficult to classify any one instrument as his "signature'. Blues harp, Dulcimer, Recorder, Sax, Tanpura, Sitar, Congas, keyboard, 6 & 12 string acoustic and electric guitar... and who knows what else he brought into the mix. Genius! He added a creative side to the Stones that set them apart and they were never the same without him.

Sam Haddad About 20 years ago I was in a music shop in a back street in Earl’s Court in London. I couldn’t believe my eyes when in the corner I saw a green Gretsch Anniversary exactly like Brian’s. I asked the owner about it and he told me it had belonged to Brian. I was beside myself with happiness and asked if I could pick it up and he said yes. I am a left handed guitar player so I had a quick strum upside down as I have taught myself to play upside down to a certain extent. It was such a great feeling to hold and play one of Brian’s famous guitars. While I was playing the owner told me that he had Keith Moon’s monogramed drum kit from 1967/1968 downstairs. I went into the basement and there it was stacked up in the corner. While I was in the shop Billy Duffy of The Cult walked in. What a great serendipitous day.

steve conn aka Rolling Ormond ......yes, I could have worded things better since Mick Taylor wasn’t around for the “Disco” debacle (utterly *woeful* crap imo). I’d say MT was infinitely more important to the band than your crude description indicates. It’s a fact that “Moonlight Mile” and “Sway” were composed without Keith who was “otherwise occupied” at the time and Jagger most assuredly didn’t compose these songs alone. Then there’s the gorgeous “Winter” off GHS. To describe a virtuoso guitarist (the man joined John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers at just 17 years of age) in the manner you do is disheartening at best. Ultimately, music is a personal thing so really only as good as the individual listener “hears” it or more correctly, *feels* it. Speaking for myself, the Stones have sounded bloody awful for far too long and I can’t remember the last time their music made me “feel” a thing. I love “music” as opposed “noise” so derived great pleasure from Jones’ and Taylor’s contributions. Different strokes....

One day I was at a music shop as a guy was about to buy the same guitar as mine for silly money. I know this is bad, by slide up to him and said, I'll sell that guitar to you for half as much. He bought it. I had cash. I bought an incredible "The Paul" for about what I sold the Vox for and then Katy bar the door. I had been playing a very old Cadillac and now I had the keys to the Corvette. 20-years later I'm a Strat player but I was a Les Paul guy for many years. Anyway, my 12-string Vox teardrop story.

@@TheGuitarShow I saw Brian Jones play the Dulcimer mentioned above at their concert here in New York City in July of 1966--I had never even *heard* of the instrument at that point in my life, but there he was, playing the thing! He had to play it sitting down, incidentally. There are no neck straps for dulcimers, as far as I know!

It might be a J200 (Not sure when they dropped the 'S' as a designator) But it is definitely a 200. The 400 was a different guitar frequently seen on the Grand Ole Opry and there was no 600 I've ever come across. The pickguard is correct (though the 1985 Celebrity J200 has a pickguard as was seen on the 400. David Gilmour supposedly has 4 of the Celebrity J200 of the 90 made.

Brian was the genius behind the Rolling Stones as well as the creator of the band. I was surprised to hear that Brian taught Keith to play. Brian played rythm but his dominant guitar sound often pushed Keith to the background. Brian also played a sitar but it's not mentioned here. The Stones banning Brian from the group permanently was a mistake. After Brian got over his drug problem, he should have been brought back. The Stones never recaptured their pre 66 originality. Brian was murdered, so we will never know what he could have accomplished. He was in legalities over his forced departure from his band. Speculation is that was the real reason he was murdered, which would have implicated Jagger and Richards. But nothing was ever thoroughly investigated, so we will never know.

Nice job ... I saw him in 1967 in St Louis Mo. for their concert. The McCoys led off the festivities that evening. I was 19 and the lead singer in a local St Louis band. I really wasn't impressed with them because they weren't a tight group. It sounded real garage band. Nice video. Brian was a very Interesting member of the group and a big lose. He did Lady Jane on what I guess was a dulcimer that night. He Actually impressed me more than the rest of the group. 👍

A new band with brian jones at the helm or even just a brian jones solo career would of been revolutionary and blown the stones out of the water. He was like neil young - not afraid to experiment and talented in many genres. Not to mention a damn good instrumentalist. And wether it was his rock and roll lifestyle or more mysterious circumstances, he deserved better.

Thank you for such an informative video and the comments you have brought out of the woodwork add even more facts to a great story. Brian, for some reason was my favourite Stone when I was growing up. I think I liked his image and choice of mod dress, and, his playing of course.It was not always easy to establish who did what at the time compared to the data available today. My Mother knitted me a "boat neck" black and white striped jersey at my request. Still have it somewhere. These days (my age starts with a "7") I own an Epiphone EJ200 and an Epiphone Firebird VII, but that is only by coincidence and through opportunities that arose. Thanks again, have subscribed and will check out as much as I can in due course.

Brian had 4 illegitimate kids by the time he was 20 and did nothing to support them. You can even watch a video of the mother with his son Mark in 1965 saying Brian makes $ and I’m on the dole. He also used to go behind the other guys backs and make deals to get more pay at gigs as the leader of the band. He also didn’t show up in 1965 for 3 shows in a row in the middle of a tour in Europe and Keith had to do the guitar ‘ weave ‘ alone. I was a member of the Brian Jones fan club in the early 1970s and been following the band since 69. He was a brilliant musician and a very talented artist who was also a right cunt who could be really mean to his friends. He probably had personality disorder but back then no one addressed those things , least of all 5 guys rocketing to rock n roll fame. It’s sad it’s similar to Syd Barret of pink Floyd or Peter Greene Fleetwood Mac Blues version. He wrote Black Magic Woman) some people just can’t handle the $ and the fame and become destructive. From interviews I’ve seen with Brian he had plans way beyond rock n roll. Film world music etc. It’s very sad but he brought a lot on himself. It’s a shitty game and not everyone can do the long haul regardless of talent. Still I love the sounds he gave us. They remind me of my youth.

@@jeffdelaney8934 Plus, Bill says Hassinger was always encouraging them to be inventive with instruments...which made the Aftermath album such a gem. That "zoom zoom" effect during the last minute of "Paint It Black" was Bill Wyman on his hands and knees under the organ working the foot pedals with his hands. I'm not a musician so don't ask me to explain that, but that's what Wyman said years later in an interview..

I miss it more the older I get. - nice fat 70's neck, which I planed and sanded down, a ' pop ' switch as a booster, all white with black binding - white down th neck.
