Ronnie Wood on the Rolling Stones, Faces, and Slide Guitar

In this 1994 interview, Ronnie Wood talks about slide guitar and the various bands he's been part of, notably the Jeff Beck Group, Faces, and Rolling Stones. Wood details how he dialed in his tone on famous songs, the various styles of slides he's used, his favorite blues and rock musicians, and how he and Keith Richards work out their parts.
The interview took place in the cafeteria of Toronto’s Crescent School, where the Rolling Stones were rehearsing for their Voodoo Lounge tour. On the table in front of us as we began was a photograph of various guitar slides that guitarists used over the past century. Ronnie examined the photo and pointed excitedly to an old hunk of thin copper pipe. Our conversation took off from there.

I'm not ashamed to admit that being in the players lounge at Alexander place in London for the snooker masters final (2014) between Selby an O'Sullivan and sitting at a table with Ronnie and his wife and Jimmy white in a very casual setting with around 9 people in the room was one of the best moments of my life. For Ronnie I was just another person but to me it was a very special hour or so that i'll never forget.

Did Mick authorise this?

How cool he Jesse James did it on his own - but I did sit him down with Eric once. Lol only Ronnie could say that like a proud father and not a rock star
