Keith Richards | Guitar Moves Interview

[@ryangunwitch-black]

27:18 I never get past this point in the video because I always have to stop and go play guitar 😂❤

[@Songbirdstress]

I don't get that far, have to practise Malaguena...

[@grahamcox8385]

Yep I did the same thing, had to pick up the guitar and try to get it right,I think Keith could play it blindfolded lol

[@leescarpelli3515]

Me too. Lol

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Hey! I came back to revisit my old comfort food video and saw I got pinned! It weren’t a lie, man! I’ve finally seen the whole thing without stopping to grab a guitar and it’s great! Whould’a guessed! Lol

[@50-Fifty-Vintage]

I stopped the video and grabbed my guitar as soon as he played the Spanish song. By the end I was ready to rip the E string off my acoustic.

[@dreamweap0n]

i bet when keith went to light matt's cigarette matt was like 'holy shit holy shit holy shit.' that must've felt awesome hahaha. glad guitar moves is back

[@gdawgs101]

I would have thought I was dreaming 😂

[@blastofo]

I would have preserved that cigarette in acrylic.

[@hello.i.t]

I would just quit smoking after that, because no cigarette could ever top the one personally lit by Keith Richards. 😁

[@kevinborchers3522]

Marc Maron had a similar story from when he had Keith on his podcast. Marc had recently quit smoking and Keith offered him one and he was like “what am i gonna say no to fucking keith richards?”

[@ThruGoesSamilton]

F yeah 🤣

[@balintnemeth7355]

I started playing guitar because of this video.

[@jamesalley7387]

Me too. I’m glad it’s back online not behind a paywall. It’s rock and roll gospel.

[@ridhowiranatakusumah6176]

its am old video god sakes how can they uploadit

[@chrisbauman2562]

Welcome to the world of music friend. Now,never give up. Don't stress you'll never master the thing,just enjoy it

[@iii2187]

6 days ago? :v

[@Skipray_Blastboat]

I started smoking because of this video!

[@rrjr1994]

Dude, Keith Richard's lit your cigarette. That's insane

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

You could literally put that on a resume.

[@seanstewart8943]

right? thats like dimebag pouring you a shot

[@rayfabris2512]

isn't that cool as fk God lights your smoke I'm good and could pass away then after burning my les paul 😅

[@seanstewart8943]

@@rayfabris2512 dime would have also love to have a cigarette lit by keith

[@gawf99]

I love how he went in star struck thinking Keith wouldn't have anything to do with him. Not far into the interview Keith sussed it out that this wasn't just another "media clickbait." Goes to show how far being genuine can be. The world could learn a lesson here.

[@GIB.SOUNDS]

Keith Richards lights your cigarette, life completed.

[@nez9751]

I wouldn’t have smoked it , I’d have tapped it out and framed it on my wall

[@stevegatesrealtor]

Keef has never tapped out a single cig… I’d wager he’d think it was wasteful lol

[@matthewhowell1279]

Indeed

[@steveholt5230]

You were a musician.... Keith lit your smoke..... You became a rockstar...

[@Ult_Media]

I dont consider myself someone who'd be starstruck by too many other people, but if Keith Richards ever lit my cigarette... I would spend at least the next 5 minutes giggling uncontrollably

[@taz454]

.....and tell everyone I know.

[@pvtnboy6777]

Keith Richards is made of music. He just has to let it out.

[@mathuwhycough6591]

I'm probably the 100th person to comment on it but Keith pulling off the low E of my guitar would be SO epic. That guitar would never see a low E after that

[@danielstephens9748]

I get the impression that if you walked up to a bar and Keith was there (probably drinking a club soda now) and you said hello, he'd give you some time...genuine man.

[@germancarfan]

Oh definitely, I met him in London he was sound

[@henrydemonfreid1985]

Keith is such a sweetheart. When he's playing and looking at the interviewer he just knows his playing is making someone happy.

[@rr2147]

Saw Keith perform with the Winos way back when, it was an amazing show. I was able to get within feet of the stage where her was playing and I swear our eyes locked while he was playing. It’s as if he knew how much the music was speaking to me. It was pretty cool.

[@chimpansi2]

Listening to keef is always a pleasure😊

[@jobysw]

Very generous for one of the finest guitarist out there to sit down and talk with Keith.

[@FranklyF]

The amount of coolness that comes from Keith’s aura is overwhelming.

[@arcidiavolo]

[@XBomyX]

hell yeah, gonna rewatch all of these and start the guitar for 3 months again

[@RedLittleBee]

Dear Matt, me and my friends really were shocked when we couldn‘t find the best Keith Richards video EVER any more. Thank you for bringing it back. 😍😍 You did such a great job. Keith felt relaxed and he even lit your cigarette. And the guitar playing scenes are so informative, funny and amusing. The setting is wonderful. Even the acoustic guitars are unique: 1930s Kel Kroydon KK-2, and Keith playing‘ a 1930s Martin 0-18 shade top?!? This is a treasure!! Thank you for sharing this best Interview. And keep on interviewing the other ones. Do it as long they are on earth. All the best for you! ❤

[@STVG71]

Hokey smokes! What a great interview!

[@itdies2dayyo]

Genuinely seems like one of the coolest fucking dudes. Could've gone on for 6 hours talking about guitar and music, and i'd watch every second of it.

[@taz454]

The epitome of Rock n Roll with a great sense of humour and great storyteller. Could listen to him all day. Love this interview

[@petev.2120]

We must be in a rabbit hole. All of humanity and only 7 up thumbs up.

[@kiezersosay49]

I know its cleshay to say, but we need to cherish the time we had left with this man on earth. To say he's a dying breed is an understatement. He's one of the last true original rock stars left. Im 35, but when i was a young kids were still taught these guys were living legends. I feel like the knowledge and appreciation is dwindling...

[@GettinAuld]

cliché

[@madarab37]

the word you're looking for is cliche, with an accent over the e

[@DeadLifeBoat100]

Cleshay 😮😅

[@lolwhatugonnado]

I watched this when I was 11 and now I'm living it over Andover again I love eletric lady studios and I can't get enough of jmis real home, and the people who know it true

[@poetryofbeing]

The way they attacked that guitar and how they smiled at each other when Keith was playing was so amazing.

[@stthbldt3594]

Greatest rhythm player of all time. Greatest guitar interviewer of all time.

[@wheresmywrench3219]

thank the lord these videos are back, i’ve been bootlegging them for years

[@54woodsgirl]

Malagueña. One of my very favorite songs!

[@scaredypicker]

There aren’t many interviewers who could keep Keith engaged and this interested for so long. Matt has that gift, and we have the gift of this video…

[@shanebrbich5698]

Matt is the same creature!

[@Steve_643]

I love to see that Keith is still completely in love with music and playing his guitar. The way he would smile when he was showing something says it all.

[@marycarmel2398]

I started playing cause of Keith . Glad I had an older brother, was already playing his stuff and left the guitar around . Then he taught me a couple of things . To this day- 50 + years later Keith is our fav player . To think I majored in jazz comp piano and vocals afterward was funny. Guitar was my fun instrument . Still is . Great interview ! I saw him of course but never got to meet my fav rockstar EVER since 1960s . NO ONE plays acoustic with heart like him. Open G 💯 ❤🎉

[@QuincyJamesMusic]

I'm so stoked this is back! I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and was always watching these interviews with St. Vincent, Josh Homme, Dean Ween, and Albert Hammond Jr etc. trying to figure out the instrument. Glad Matt Sweeney is taking ownership of this series and giving it back to the music community, incredible.

[@galetinm]

James Williamson for me.

[@keefriffhard6352]

When Keith talks about music, he creates sentences that sound philosophical.

[@carlwoods4564]

One of the best interviews of Keith ive seen. Hes notoriously guarded. You did well to open him up. Keiths my fave guitarist, im from the North of England. My Mums from Liverpool. I should like the Beatles, but I prefer the Stones. Always have.

[@calixa]

I just saw the Stones in Vancouver 6 days ago and still riding the high. It was INCREDIBLE. Ronnie, Mick and Keith are such an inspiration.

[@Patrick-fm5dk]

Happy 80th Birthday to the living legend Keith Richards ❤🎉😊

[@CagedPaps]

So good to see these back, I remember one half was taken down at first, finding a mirror was tough so good we're getting them back.

[@francispower1418]

I remember this interview from the first time around. Possibly the greatest ever guitar tutorial out there, even if it isn’t a guitar tutorial. But in particular I have remembered Keith’s thoughts on silence being a part of the band ever since the first time I watched it. I have always made sure silence was a first call on every recording I have made since. And he’s right. It never broke the bank!

[@rdrrr]

The three seconds of silence on "Can't Hardly Wait" by The Replacements _really_ sells an already killer track. (And for what it's worth, I think _Tim_ by the 'Mats was the closest any band ever came to capturing the magic of Sticky Fingers/Exile. The comparison isn't spurious. Paul Westerberg is an excellent rhythm guitarist who makes heavy use of open tunings.)

[@mikeg3660]

What a legend and down to earth guy Keith is. Great interview.

[@thomasallen4340]

The mans a guitar god. Love Keith and the stones

[@jamesalley7387]

I have literally spent the last two years playing guitar because of this video. Keith’s guitar wisdom has guided me, there is so much in this video that is IMPORTANT. I grabbed my wife’s closeted acoustic and promptly broke the low e trying to remove it. Keep in mind I’m a lefty player (let’s not go there) so I’m playing this guitar upside down. I tuned it according to Keith’s instructions (duh, open g, but I had no clue). It WAS Like magic, even upside down, and I played for three hours. A few days later and my wife discovered the state of her guitar…not good. I couldn’t even remove the pegs, so I took it to a shop to have it restrung for $15. While waiting, I found a little lefty Ibanez on the rack. Only $170? I grabbed an $8 cable, a slide, went home, plugged into my receiver, and never looked back. I’m getting a little misty thinking about it. I suppose this also set off a luthier skills journey for me as well. Invaluable.

[@rjbelcher4415]

HooRay! It's back. Keith is so genuinely excited to talk about the guitar to a fellow brother about the craft, and not some journalist just asking the same questions. I love the whole series.

[@sheldonhavlik]

I love that you can feel the nerves at the beginning with the potential of this not being a good interview and then they break the ice and end up talking about music, smoking cigs, and jamming like two mates. Fantastic interview!! Thanks for re-uploading!

[@andrewlowe9969]

One of the coolest interviews ever Keith knows music and much more his sense of music history and artists and the times he has lived shows he is a remarkably intelligent and amazing human being a gift to us all what an honour to listen to him he speaks like a sage and better than the average politician hardly a stumble in his thought to saying things

[@philipirockz92]

Glad to see the full video nosey sucks trying to hide the video glad it’s back loved this episode

[@votephillips2564]

I love to see how excited the fan/guitar player is during the interview. Lucky him !!!! In 1963-66 I had a cover band. We did Satisfaction, Have Mercy, Mona, Not Fade Away and several numbers from "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band" and used to drive from Amherst to Club 47 on Palmer street in Harvard Square.

[@Nathalie-83]

Wonderful this interview of Keith Richards 😊❤❤❤

[@DaniloMarrone]

Amazing! One of the first songs I learned on guitar was “Malagueña” as well. A fellow student taught me the whole thing. Wonderful words of wisdom from Maestro Keith!

[@TheAtlitor]

I thought Keith was quitting smoking few years ago. But great interview with a legend of rock

[@KimTebrok]

This interview is pretty old. I’m asking someone to date it. Way before he gave up the cigarettes.

[@brad1368]

He did, this interview is circa 2015.

[@dannywoody5497]

What a great sense of humor keith has giant character and he was able to keep this interview. Very cool.

[@PMC47]

This is at least the 4th time I've watched this interview over the years. My first electric was a 72 tele custom reissue. Still have it 3 decades later. Keef is one of the main reasons I started playing, and when he gave Matt the cudos, saying it's good to talk to a sympatico; what a thrill that must have been. Such a true gentleman✌️

[@CasuallyJapan]

If Keith Richards lit my cigarette I would take it home and hang it up on my wall 😂

[@G.Patrick_Johnson]

I have seen this interview more than one time. I LOVE how enamored the interviewer is with the fact that he is speaking with his hero. For me, sitting down with Keith Richards would be the same way for me as well. I am congratulatory to the interviewer getting to meet Keith.

[@ronv1725]

This is beyond awesome. Keith seems like such a cool human being.

[@allthingsawesome2]

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVER

[@stnwrd]

Keith, I give my thanks as my main inspiration that got me started with the guitar. After seeing Hampton '81 live on TV that changed everything for me. Thanks very much Keith!!!!

[@oakenshanks]

this is quite literally, the best interview of a rock and roll genius/star. ever.. ever.. this is awesome..

[@tomashcroft7024]

It’s so amazing that we get to witness this. I wish Jimi was still around. Matt Sweeney’s doing the lords work. Please bring back the older one’s like Josh Homme’s!

[@salomeacreshomestead]

So happy these are coming back! Hopefully this means new episodes too!

[@guitar-moves]

[@Solfonny]

Love him talking about the Jimmy Reed turnaround. Billy Gibbons mentions the exact same thing says "it's so wrong, it's right."

[@Burghbhoy1]

I'm in awe of ling term guitar players like Richards , Knopfler etc ... the hours of practice they gave put into their skill level .

[@slashtrio]

This interview is freaking gold

[@TheFolkandAcousticChannel]

Keith is such an utterly endearing, genuine individual. What a beautiful video, must’ve been a great experience! Take away for me learning music is what he said about bringing space into the mix…

[@Jim-cl5ed]

Keith is way beyond cool .. the best 5 str open G demo ...e-v-e-r !

[@ferramirez4570]

Watching this video takes me back to a moment in my life where life was way more beautiful and easier, for a moment i went back there again, thank you. Glad to see you are back.

[@olds3945]

As soon as Matt played. . . . everything changed. Mad respect for both these guys.

Since the Stones have come out with this new album. It seems that Keith has been around more now than he ever has. Mick has always been the one that went out and sold the record. I enjoyed the show and learned something about the five strings. Good stuff. Ronnie.

I saw this years ago but I give Matt props for pushing Keith to play. I know the handlers were livid.

[@alexisherrera4687]

Why did they instruct him not to play?

[@pibstarr]

@@alexisherrera4687 In the video he says he'd have to charge more which is probably I think because contractually turns it into a performance not an interview. That's just my wild guess

[@alexisherrera4687]

Why would he HAVE to tho? He doesn't NEED to charge for anything if he doesn't want to@@pibstarr

[@themagikian4237]

Because he can't really play. It's an "act". They had songs made for them by Tavistock Institute. He can probably play some, like George Harrison could play some. But everyone has to wake up. This is make believe non sense. They ain't gods. Walk the other way.

[@pollyanna147]

@herrera4687 What makes this interview so special is that Matt knows what he's talking about and Keith felt comfortable enough to throw him a bone. This interview was like two friends talking to each other. Keith could sense that. This wasn't some bait and switch.. Matt is a peer and Keith shared his knowledge and based on how the conversation was going, picked up the guitar when asked like a they were in living room. Keith probably felt like a human compared to countless BS interviews he's done over 50+ years. Amazing stuff.

I'm glad to see this interview in it's entirety uploaded! Keith's story about Ike and Tina Turner at 2:30 is very telling. People tend to think that she was passive but she wasn't anyone's punching bag. Tina got into her share of fights and as Keith said she wasn't someone to mess with.

[@GingerWaters]

Happy that I found this channel. You guys doing good work. True lessons from true masters.
