Here's something really cool from Rolling Stone magazine:

Listen: The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" Deconstructed

The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" — from the band's classic Let it Bleed album — was recorded between February and November 1969 and features only four band members: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts (guitarist Mick Taylor joined the band that year but is not featured on "Gimme Shelter"). Now, music website Dangerous Minds has broken the song down into five components: 1) Jagger and Merry Clayton's vocals, 2) Richards' first guitar track, 3) Richards' second guitar track with Nicky Hopkins' piano, 4) Wyman's bass and 5) Watts' drums with producer Jimmy Miller's maracas. Of these, the vocal and guitar tracks are the most revelatory. We've analyzed each component below.

Enjoy! 8)

pretty cool, I wish I could hear everything deconstructed like that. And let the rest of the musicians in the world hear music broken down like that. Far too few people realize how much they overplay. Music (and the groove) happen between the notes, fill it all up and there isn't anywhere for the groove to be.

funny how they can't tell the difference between a guaro and maraccas. They're both in there...

very interesting, thanks for posting. Gimme Shelter was actually the first song I learned to play note-for-note

Keef may only play caveman simple stuff, but the way he layers it is utter genius.

A really good insight into his playing that RR. Cheers mate.

Another insight is the release of the 1972 concert on DVD. One really begins to appreciate Taylor's work.

I love these decomposed things...amazing how imperfect they are - bass was out of tune for example...but yet it comes together as a classic.
