Art/Literary - Music / livre sur la carrière des Rolling Stones
English term or phrase: slithering guitar hook
"Based on a slithering guitar hook, a mechanism that they practically came to define, “The Last Time” showed how quickly the Stones had matured as a musical unit."

"Based on a slithering guitar hook", une technique qu'ils ont en fait élaborée, “The Last Time” est la démonstration de la rapide maturité des Stones comme unité musicale.

J'ai des problèmes pour traduire les expressions techniques du livre.
Y a-t-il un expert en la matière sur Proz ?
Merci pour votre aide!

Explanation:
I like "accroche," but I believe that "slithering" refers more to sliding notes and riffs (iow, all over the guitar neck).

neutral  Alrx: Not necessarily, the 'hook' is more likely to be short and catchy, the main riff from "satisfaction" for instance (which is also the hook IMO), is based on 3 notes...

  -> yes, I agree. Neither a "sliding note" or a "riff" has to be long.
