JuanCarlosVejar Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Folks , this photo of Mick seems to be taken in the company of an original 60's hummingbird : anyone who can confirm this ? JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 This is certainly a 60's Bird. Looks like a 1965/66/67 model with the narrow width and rosewood saddle intact. In fact it could be from the second wave of Hummingbirds in the Stones camp. One of those seen on the famous photos from early 70's southern France where exactly this model was up and around. Is it the same guitar we see in latest concert movie. . . I remember that as ceramic saddled, but ain't sure. A long time ago someone here mentioned he has a whole acoustic Gibson collection. Never heard or seen a trace of it, but it could be right. More than 1 that for sure. When is the picture taken, , , , early 90's. . . . . ?

jegvt Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think there's some pictures or film footage of Mick playing a very similar H-Bird in the recent DVD of the making of "Exile on Main Street". I think it's Keith's guitar, but not positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanCarlosVejar Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 recently he has been seen with this one : in this interview with Larry King you can see 3 guitars (not sure if they are Mick's) but one is a small gibson cutaway model I believe CJ 165 JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Haha ha BaNGO PM. ' * ' * ' * ' Nothing better than to see ones old rock stars with their signature guitars. It simply adjusts everything in a healthy way and brings a cruel world back in balance. In fact a bit like seeing EA's empty hook, , , , now occupied with a TV Bird – Yes ! And JC – if you look at that guitar from the right angle it seems to be a Mart. The others - Taylors, , , , ? (which is his main acoustic inthe Shine a Light movie). Correct me if I'm wrong on anything I wrote here. . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC You are right, it's a Gibson. One of those normally a bit beside my radar. Could it be a 185 EC with some semi moustache bridge. . . . Found this one. . . .

SoonerBuckeye Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That Bird Mick is playing is a 1968 model. Enlarge the pic and you'll see that the pickguard is the "screwed down" version which only occured during '68. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My screwed on SJ has the 11/16. Then again we know there's only fluent schemes to follow. Definitely a second wave Bird - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby b Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What chord is he playin'? A major with an added F# ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Looks to me like an A6, I think he has his ring finger lifted up not pressing the string. What chord is he playin'? A major with an added F# ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Looks to me like an A6, I think he has his ring finger lifted up not pressing the string. He is probably playing an A shuffle - the little finger lifts up and down while holding an A shape with the rest of the fingers - Little Queenie, Carol etc.... BluesKing777.

BluesKing777. Yes, I would have written boogie, but got insecure about the right term in English. Dada-dada-dada-dada-dada from E to A and back - Maybe A to D.

livemusic Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not only can he sing, but noticed he's also got long guitar fingers ... I'm envious .. That's first thing I noticed, cuz I have short fingers and no way can I play that chord... a classic rock riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
