I just found out that on one of my favourite tracks from 2005 (was reviewing the decade during my tea break ? ) the rather tasty slide guitar is played by... Mick Taylor Jagger. Yes, Mick Jagger. The song's Back of My Hand from A Bigger Bang (best release in decades). From wikipedia:
"The song features prominent harmonica from Jagger. The song heavily harkens back to earlier recordings by the Stones. Richards said at the time of release that the song is, "... a classic sort of Muddy Waters thing, or even earlier. And as we were getting it going, I went, Jesus Christ, we could have cut this at Chess, baby. You are what you listen to, in a way, and I never stopped listening to the blues."
Unlike most other tracks from the album, it was recorded as just the core lineup of Jagger singing and playing harmonica, percussion, bass, and electric slide guitar; Richards playing guitar, and Charlie Watts drumming. These are the only founding members of the Rolling Stones still in the group."
It got me thinking, what are some of your favourite guitar pieces recorded/played live by non-guitarists?
Here's the track:
