Sticky Fingers Door-Knock — Open-G Riff & ES-345 Latin Outro
Richards' opening riff is an open-G part commonly associated with a Les Paul neck-pickup sound, although the exact session guitar and amplifier are not conclusively documented. Mick Taylor's extended outro was improvised on a Gibson ES-345 and developed into the song's Latin-influenced jam. Settings approximated from the likely Richards chain and Taylor's documented instrument. Source: Premier Guitar's Sticky Fingers lesson and Guitar World's Stones guitarist history.
Signal Chain
Notes
Use less distortion than the riff seems to require and strike the open-G chords aggressively. Taylor's outro should be smoother, cleaner and more sustained than Keith's rhythm.
