Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones, off their 1971 album "Sticky Fingers," features Keith Richards on acoustic guitar and Mick Jagger on vocals. Richards' open tuning gives the song its distinctive sound, while Jagger's emotive delivery adds to its melancholic vibe. The use of slide guitar adds a haunting quality to the track, creating a timeless ballad that has become a classic in the Stones' repertoire.
