Rolling Stones - Moonlight Mile
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 10:43 pm
Hello,
This doesn't appear to have been requested before, and there aren't any real lessons out there yet, so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
Moonlight Mile is possibly my favorite Stones song, and the melody and riff are gorgeous. As with many songs in their catalog, it's in open G tuning. The main riff has a bunch of hammer-ons/pull-offs, and some of the timing sounds tricky--the kind of thing that Neil breaks down so well. It would also be interesting to hear Neil's take on the theory behind the song. While Keith didn't play on the recording, apparently the riff was something Keith was noodling with and had dubbed the "Japanese Thing" (thanks, Wikipedia).
Please give it a listen if you haven't heard the song before and some votes if you like it. I'd love to see a lesson for this on TG.
