Keith RICHARDS: A RIFF Lasts FOREVER, Solos Come and Go!

The Rolling Stones:
Keith Richards, the iconic guitarist of The Rolling Stones, is renowned not just for his unmistakable swagger and style but also for his distinctive approach to playing the guitar. One of the unique features of Richards' playing is his frequent use of a 5-string guitar, which has become a signature element of the Rolling Stones’ sound. But why does he use a guitar with one less string than usual, and how did this unusual setup come about?

#1. And what a noise it is. Blueprint for rock guitarist. Look up rock n roll in a dictionary, should just show a pic of Keef.

@@NOBodYknoys111 Yep. RnR is about riffs and attitude. Keith is god of both.

Mesmerizing - as is so much of The Stones music. I still find so much of their music continues to grow on me. It's not that I would classify them as my favorite - my favorite would depend on the mood, time and day and may change by the hour. I've been listening since their beginning and will continue to be a fan until my death.

Great job ❤

[@RockinRollinOne]

The Strolling Bones, riff machine

[@monkeyrevolution1964]

UNIQUE ❤❤❤🐒🐒 Brazil here 😂

[@curiousuranus810]

He certainly made noise, I don't know if he ever thought of setting any of it to music though.

[@malcolmmcdonald1885]

IF KEITH HAD NOT BEEN BORN, ROCK ' N ' ROLL WOULD HAVE CREATED HIM.....

[@jakevoutilainen3455]

He knows how to play Chuck Berry tunes better than Mr. Berry himself.

[@Series7Guy]

I was kind of happier when nobody knew about this because it gave me more opportunities to show off. Oh well, back to the drawing board I suppose.

[@corkwijk9]

Wow! This explains why the Beatles were better. They had an extra string.😮

[@vinonavortex5582]

Love you keith

[@janetsimpson4799]

I love keef x

[@stefke5862]

And a voice-over that loves to say five strings in every line :)

[@tomslick2058]

He does not always play open tuning.

[@ChristopherBond-s5q]

It sounds almost like a horns

[@williamburns7580]

The Stones are one of...if not my favorite bands but Keef took writing credits from Mick Taylor for "Sway" and "Moonlight Mile" that he did not have input in writing those and how many other songs. Mick Taylor didn't have to worry about the government taking his money because Keef is such an obscene tyrant. ..Stones are nowhere close yo the band they were in the early 70's when most of their hits were made!
