bazooka Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Yes indeed, Seeker! [smaller]from wikipedia:[/smaller] Cooder was a guest session guitarist on various recording sessions with the Rolling Stones in 1968 and 1969, and his contributions appear on the Stones' Let It Bleed (mandolin on Love in Vain), and Sticky Fingers, on which he contributed the slide guitar on Sister Morphine. During this period, Cooder joined with Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and longtime Rolling Stones sideman Nicky Hopkins to record Jamming with Edward [smaller] from alternatemusicpress.com:[/smaller] He taught Keith Richards to play slide, and the open G tuning favored by John Lee Hooker. Richards once said, "I took Ry Cooder for everything I could get," a compliment that may explain the fact that the money lick in Honky Tonk Women is pure Cooder-by-way-of-Hooker.
