My friend Nedmusic turned me onto this incredible breakdown of the Stones' classic 1969 song Gimmie Shelter. Someone has been able to isolate the vocals, rhythm guitar, second guitar/piano, bass and drums into five separate tracks. It's breathtaking to hear all the parts broken out like this. Spend some time checking this out if you dig the Stones - unreal.
Also credit must be given to the original Dangerous Minds post, where all of this came from.
Vocals (Mick Jagger and Merry Clayton):
Keith Richards' main guitar. Note the interesting punch ins and outs of Keith's licks to compensate for the fact that this is probably a four-track recording!
Charlie Watts' drum part plus percussion:
Bill Wyman bass:
Keith's second guitar and Nicky Hopkins' piano (at the moment it looks like this one has been taken down by YouTube):
This is a great find. It makes me want to put them into Logic and sync/mix the tracks.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Stones tracks. Thanks for posting!
Well shit, of course now these have all been taken down by the powers that be. I wish I would have grabbed them somehow. Sean, thanks for the comment - glad you were able to check it out.
