Lockdown Licks no. 251. “No Expectations” by The Rolling Stones. Signature riff/opening solo in the style of original, played on a 1980s Fender Stratocaster tuned to open E, into a NUX M8 amp set to clean channel with slight reverb. Original played by the late Brian Jones. If anyone doubted Brian’s contribution to the Stones sound and blues/ rock legacy, we hear what would be his last recorded piece for the band before his sad passing.
