Listen to Brian Jones' isolated guitar on 'Get off My Cloud'

Listen to Brian Jones' melodic isolated lead guitar tracks from The Rolling Stones' third UK number-one single from 1965, 'Get off My Cloud'.

This is interesting, because the riff is SO associated with the song. When I’ve played the chords, people sometimes don’t even recognize it as “Get Off My Cloud” because they don’t heat the Brian Jones part, which is incredibly sparse.

Meet the American who first recorded the blues, nation's original pop diva Mamie Smith

Vaudeville performer Mamie Smith recorded "Crazy Blues" in 1920, widely regarded as the first recorded blues hit. The success of American blues inspired rock 'n' roll.

The late Howlin' Wolf explains the blues -

“A lot of people want to know what is the blues. I hear a lot of people saying ‘the blues, the blues’ but I’m gonna’ tell you what the blues is. When you ain’t got no money, you got the blues. When you ain’t got no money to pay your house rent, you still got the blues. A lot of people talk about 'I don’t like no blues’ but when you ain’t got no money and can’t pay your house rent and can’t buy you no food you damned sure got the blues. That’s where it’s at. I tell you. That’s where it’s at. If you ain’t got no money you got the blues. 'Cause you’re thinking evil. That’s right. Any time you’re thinkin’ evil you’re thinking about the blues. See. If you ain’t, if you, if you’re getting everything you were sent, and don’t need nothing, you don’t have no right to worry about nothing. But when you ain’t got nothing then you got to worry about something, and that’s why the blues come in. And Lord, first thing is that you know 'I don’t have this, and I don’t have that’ and you look over there at these other people, and they got this and got that, and in your heart you feel like that you ain’t nobody, you got the blues.”
