Single 1968 Drums, Bass and Maracas 0:00-3:34 Guitars, Organ, Toy Drums and Piano 3:36-7:17 Vocals 7:20-9:55

This is the greatest rock song ever written and performed. It’s rock and roll perfection. It’s so bright and energetic with great lyrics and nothing that pulls focus from the overall band performance no dramatic solos or anything just a straight up band tapestry. I wish we could have the guitar and keyboard separated as well

That bassline is some badass whiteboy voodoo.

I'll never forget Charlie Watts' Toy Drum kit on "Jumpin' Jack Flash"! That's some of the funkiest and hypnotic Drumming ever! Charlie used the same Toy Drum kit on "Street Fighting Man". The Guitars, Organ, Keith Richards Bass, Mick's Lead Vocal.and Harmony Vocals, the whole production is perfection! "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is the greatest ever Pop/Rock Single "A" Side!

possibly the greatest basslines ever to be played on a riff-based rock song. such a badass stuff. normally, you would expect the same riff as the guitar part, but playing a single note constantly with variation in rhythm makes it so much more badass. Keith is a great bassist

Since 1968 I thought it was Nicky Hopkins playing the Hammond B3 Organ but it actually is none other that Bill Wyman! Kudos to Bill! What hip Organ work!

Keith and Charlie together are simply excellent.

Kieth plays bass on some of their best tracks.

i love this. All Bass players and drummers please take note.

Brilliant song and that middle part when he sings it’s a gas just sounds like the Sixties. Those notes were perfect and it’s so catchy. Keith just hit the right notes!

BRIAN JONES (1943 ~ 1969) "When this you see , remember me and bear me in your mind Let all the world say what they may, speak of me as you find" This quote was featured on The Rolling Stones album ~ THROUGH THE PAST, DARKLY (Big Hits Vol.2) which was released on September 12,1969. The cover and back photos were taken on May 21,1969 by photographer Ethan Russell. Little did we know that Brian Jones would be dismissed from the group on June 8,1969. I proudly have a framed album British copy of Through The Past Darkly, with Jumpin' Jack Flash as the leadoff track, proudly displayed on my bedroom wall. It is a very cool pic!

The multi track recorder is truely a great invention, And I mean that with all of my soul.

Barking dog, was always subliminally there...now it really is there. Brilliant.

Keith, accompanied by his usual mixed batch of session musicians, is as usual, stellar…

Way back in the early '90s, I was in a band playing lead guitar. One afternoon, when we were playing at a party, we decided last-minute to add "Jumping Jack Flash" to our set. Our bass player was not familiar with the song, so I sat with him and showed him what to play. This was long before KZfaq, where you could locate isolated tracks for faster learning. I am proud to say that, after listening to the isolated bass track, I was pretty much spot-on with what I suggested your bass player payed. 😏

Organ is a nice touch. Always thought it was melotron. Keith plays a great bass. The guitar parts are all priceless. I would hope Brian played a bit of guitar. But will never know. The piano also provides a nice subdued backdrop. Just a brilliant song. My no 1 Rock song of all time. Never wares on you and gets annoying.

The bass is very important in this song and is overlooked

You can hear that 12 string ringing out...amazing...

Guitars, Organ, Barking Dog and Piano 3:36-7:17

Damn, that bass and drum track is funky!

maaaaan i love that drum n bass stem !! Could groove on that forever!

I love those vocal harmonies so much

This has helped me more than any how to play tutorial I have watched! thank you 🙏🏻 for this

Keith Richards played acoustic guitar and distorted acoustic guitar on the Rolling Stones' 1968 song "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Richards achieved the song's original sound by recording an acoustic guitar through a tape recorder until it sounded like the end of the world. He also played two guitars layered on top of each other, one in open E tuning with a capo and the other in Nashville tuning.

all credit to Bill Wyman (except for lyrics,melotron,12 string), this song was initially his creation..the riff,time signature and bass line were created by Wyman

The Bass is so cool.

Excellent!

7:20 "Here, yell that into this Radio Shack cassette recorder I got here, its got new batteries. You guys will make millions I tell ya, MILLIONS !!"

I know it is Keith on bass...however, I read somewhere...this riff was created by Bill Wyman. And...that Mick and Keith kind of stole the credit from Bill for this riff. The article said Bill always kind of held a grudge with Mick and Keith for snatching credit for his invention.

Keith and Mick wrote this masterpiece entirely at Keith's home, Redlands in an all night session where Keith was trying out new sounds by playing his acoustic Hummingbird guitar through one of the first available Norelco Philips cassette recorders. By putting the microphone inside the guitar and turning it up he got that distinctive overdriven acoustic guitar riff played high on the neck with a capo. It was a unique sound that gave his relatively mellow acoustic guitar an exciting aggressive edge that he loved. Keith wrote the first verse and the refrain himself with Mick fleshing out the rest of the verse's lyrics. Jumpin' Jack was actually Keith's gardener, Jack Dyer, who Keith had nicknamed "Jumpin' Jack" for the way he hopped around doing his landscaping work around Redlands ...Jack surprised Mick doing his morning chores with his rubber boots on in the wet grass walking by the window where Mick was sitting inside. Surprised by the sloshing sound, Mick said "Who's that?" Keith answered "Oh that's just my gardener, Jumpin' Jack" ... "FLASH!" Mick reacted and the song was created. Keith's first verse "I was born in a crossfire hurricane" refers to the night he was born during a WWII bombing run the luftwaffe made on London. When the sirens sounded, Keith's mom was shepharded off to the protection of a bomb shelter where Keith was born, underground amid the vibrations of the exploding bombs. Instead of bombing London that night they dumped their bombs on Keith's home town, Dartford, demolishing and leveling his home with the cradle meant for newborn, infant Keith still in it. Above everything else, Keith is a survivor as well as a songwriting and innovating guitar genius.

I love Bill Wyman's organ part. I always thought it was Nicky Hopkins or someone else.

Was that Brian on the jangly but of guitar work. He was playing a 12 string Rickenbacker so it’s possible. Really interesting to hear how the song was put together including Keith’s propulsive bass.

This song sounds like nothing else in rock (except maybe a little of “Street Fighting Man” and “Stray Cat Blues”). A unique brew.

Keith’s bass reminds me of Magazine,The Light Pours Out Of Me.

Yea, me too. I have the separated tracks and the bass is a lot easier to play than most people on KZfaq are showing and it sounds way better to me to play it just as it is on the recording. So if you have two guitarists in your band, play the bass part just like the recording, it sounds way better in my opinion.

That sounds like Kieth with the opening guitar bell like groove but then he chugs through the rest of it. Brian and Piano player playing the main riff.

That snare is SO WET!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Very handy indeed.

Brian Jones does play on this song!

i always thought i could hear bagpipes at the end of the song but i guess it's just a bunch of guitars, genius

Keef bass is killer

The Ice Cream sandwich is another great invention that doesn’t get the attention or respect it deserves. Delicious sandwich and self contained.

Charlie. Driving them forward, tapping the brakes,holding them strictly in the middle. I'm glad Mr. Jordan has taken the spot, but I think they needed Charlie to become what they are.

I once heard it said that Jumping Jack Flash was the song that saved The Rolling Stones from their period of psychedelic experimentation with their music and got them back to rock and roll basics.

I only now realise that the bass stays on the B during the riff.

Charlie understood the assignment

Satisfaction riff in reverse

I wish someone would ask Keith who played what on this particular song. Always though there was melotron. And if that's Brian on the 12 string it's pretty damn impressive.

I am pretty sure Keith plays the main riff on open E-tuning from the first fret, with open chord. I tried it and it sounds very accurate that way.

That organ at the end is GENIUS!..did Brian play it?

Look up Brian Jones Vox Mando guitar. It's a super short-scale 12-string electric guitar. Probably what he's playing on JJF.

Where did you get these priceless and historic recordings? Was it just a matter of remixing? Keep up the good work!

You can hear the Nashville strung guitar

One of the guitars is speeded up. You can hear that by the extrem high pitched notes

Ah so Keith is not playing the bass with the well known riff underneath - just sitting on the B throughout. Interesting.

There is certainly a lot going on during the fadeout.

Great, why does the bass sound so much like a thud, flatwounds, old strings

Funk all the way!

Jumping jack It's a gas gas gas

What is muttered at 8:39 and who is it?

It’s the first time I’ve heard of Brian using his Ricky 12 string on this. Is this in addition to the Nashville strung acoustic? Do we have any confirmation of Brian using the Ricky and any ideas which parts it plays?

what's the barking dog sound?

I always thought Bill played the bass on this as the actual riff was his.

Do you use a specific software?

HJ, did Keith play bass on this track?

Amo esta canción.

Sleaford mods vibe

The bass line sounds like that song from 2016. Idk what it’s called

Hat Bill oder Keith den Bass gespielt? 🤔

The recording and mixing of JJF always bugged me being so dense and muddy sounding. What the heck were they thinking? I mean compare the single with Honky Tonk Woman for a night and day transition from sludge to crispness and clarity.

If this is The Stones best song and The Stones are the best rock band ever does that = best rock song ever 🎸

Keith's band...Keith's song.

Shame on the ABCKO Label! Here are priceless Rolling Stones recording session works in progress that should be officially released to their devoted fans! The Beatles have released their definitive albums from 1966~1970 with lavish packaging and interesting outtakes but not The Rolling Stones! It's the same old releases with no outtakes, such as these, and no essays to explain The Stones' recording sessions process! It's the same old unimaginative repackaging with lousy graphics! The Rolling Stones deserve so much better!

oh its true then - Bob Wymann *could* play an instrument !!

No credit given to Wyman who wrote it. Twins are thieves. Just like the way the way they ripped off Ruby Tuesday from Brian. and the songs written by studio musicians.
