    Keith Richards is my favourite guitarist. He gets a bad rep these days because kids think that guitar playing is all about soloing and shredding. Keith was never a technical guy like Eddie, Page or Hendrix. Clapton, who played with him in the Dirty Mac, was objectively a better player than him. However, I don't think there has been any other riff maker as iconic as Richards. He created some of the most iconic riffs and tunes and he did that all with really simple chords and techniques. You can easily forget solos and shreds but a damn good riff never leaves your mind. Ik his playing has gotten weaker over the year but that's not even an argument, the dude's 80 years old.
    Also, Mick Taylor was fking amazing too. Very underrated. He would have even surpassed Richards' career if he had done something more significant after 1974

Which are they? It would be greatly appreciated to opening my eyes to him.

I’m not convinced and starting to think he’s overrated. I want to learn his good guitar songs, but don’t want to go through the horrible keyboard fluff to find them. If you know them, list them.
