Why do I cry each time I hear these notes... why?

I was a very little boy when this came out, but it's been with me all my life. My mum, who's now 85, just loves to listen to this!

Some years ago I posted this one on TAF...

How is it possible to play the most difficult (and beautiful)
piece of music ever written WITH EYES COMPLETELY CLOSED???
16 minutes like that.

How many hours of repetition, study, exercise?
Confidence
Memory
Knowing of Yourself
Sensibility
Emotional and mental responsiveness
Knowledge
Natural, biological skills...

I have been struggling for ages with that piece...
Something in common with the trader's qualities and the market?

Sight is only one of the senses, no?

As for trading, sometimes you see an opportunity that may meet all your entry criteria, but somehow it just doesn't feel right, so you don't enter, and mostly that's a good decision. Other times an opportunity jumps right out at you that also meets your criteria, and you enter...and your trade pays dividends.

Some things we can't explain, we can only 'do'

It's very hard to pick the best songs / music from the Stones, but if I had to pick my top 5, this would be there....for sure. The guitar playing, not by Keef, but by Mick Taylor is simply amazing......sends chills down my spine.

Mick Taylor replaced a certain Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers because My Clapton was too unreliable, if I remember correctly.

And here is Mick Taylor with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and Albert King, and Mick certainly does himself proud here too

How true... Was just my music software in random mode... its own proposal to me.
And I completely agree on Mick Taylor... Here he is!

Mick Taylor again... piece and guitar. Great period for the Stones, I think! I never thought he was too "bluesy" for the band...

I'd better give Keef a turn!!

I learned to play this and it was a bit more difficult to play than you may imagine....well, for me it was! A very clever piece of music in the intro. I think that Keef is playing a Hummingbird here, but I'm not sure of that.

Yep... when he was playing acoustic he almost always used a Gibson Hummingbird.
Recently sometimes a Martin!

On the Hummingbird sometimes he plays some tricks with the strings' tension: mixing extralight and hard to obtain a 12-strings effect!
But the secret are always in the tunig... open G and open D... and the 5 strings set-up! etc... A genius.

Thanks for the info. I knew he liked to play around with different tuning but mixing string gauges is something that I didn't think about. Nice idea, and yes, a genius indeed.

I must admit to seeing a Gibson Hummingbird hanging on the wall at my local music shop and almost willing it off the wall and into my hands!!
