Okay, let's take a look at Brown Sugar as it is played on Sticky Fingers.
We're going to look at the studio version of it.
And as I got into it, it was interesting.
I [C] found that there was more going on than I might have [G] expected.
Obviously he's going to play that kind of Keith Richards lick.
[C]
And so, [G] you know, that's what you expect.
[Dm] But as he goes on into the [G] bridge and other parts of the song, he doesn't just simply
keep playing that same kind of lick where it's on the pull-offs are on the B and [C] D string.
[G]
[Ab] Instead, [G] when he gets into the bridge, he does it [F] differently.
He [C] goes
[F] [C] [Eb]
[C] [Ab]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Ab]
[C]
And [F] so if you listen, you hear these characteristic pull-offs [D] are not the way we [Ab] might have thought.
It's not going
[C]
Instead, the pull-off is on the G [Eb] string.
[G] But down here, [C] it's on the B string.
[Ab]
[Bb] And that, it's the [A] B and G string together.
[C]
[Bb] [A] [C]
[A] G [Eb] string, [C] B string,
[G] [C] and G together.
[Gm] [C]
[F]
[C]
[Bb] [C]
[G] [D]
[C] [G]
[A] Sometimes [G] they go
[Bb] [G]
[C] Okay.
[N] And the last thing I want to show, it's interesting to see what he does during the saxophone solo
of Bobby Keyes.
Keith plays it differently.
He does not play the same lick that he had been playing up until that point.
He changes it up.
And so, he [Eb] goes
[G]
[Eb] [C]
[D] [Ab] [F]
[Eb]
[C] [Ab] [Gm]
[F] [C] [Eb] So, during the sax solo, he's actually playing those pull-offs [A] on the B and G string.
[Eb]
[C]
[Ab] [C] [F] [C]
Although, on that last one, it's very likely that he is playing [F] it this way.
[C] [A] Because you do tend to hear this [Dm] A that he's playing [F] there.
[C] But, [N] sometimes it's hard to tell because there are so many guitars being layered one on top of the [D] other.
But, it just goes to show that Keith is
Although we just consider him the riff master, he's got a very discriminating ear.
He wants it to sound a [Eb] certain way.
And he's not [Cm] just locked in to, well, [C] this is my lick.
[Eb]
So, I'm just going to [D] play it that way all [G] over the neck.
He's [D] playing it the way he wants it to sound.
And so, in that saxophone solo, I'm 99 [Ab]% sure that that's how he does it.
[C] [D]
[G] Having said that, in concert, Keith will play it [Am] a different [G] way virtually every night.
So, [Eb] sometimes he will play the pull-off on the B and the [G] G string, on that typical kind of Keith pull-off.
In modern [Abm] times, that's pretty much how he does it.
[F] [C]
But, sometimes he'll play it [Eb] the other way.
[C]
And sometimes, you'll [D] notice he won't even worry about that lick at all.
He'll [Eb] just sort of go
[C] [Ab]
[Bb] [C] [D] You know, just play it really, really freely.
[Fm] And, so that's basically what I
We're going to look at the studio version of it.

I [C] found that there was more going on than I might have [G] expected.
