      OH YES!!..could not agree more. I doubt today's non-entities when aged 80, could with just a plain basic guitar stummed just a few basic notes and create such magic, response and attention as he did. The older I get, the more grateful, blessed and thankful that in my teens and young man-years groups liked the Rolling Stones gave us such marvellous music which we took for granted and most likely will go on in the future as Mozart and Beethoven have done.

Mick Jagger is the only Rolling Stones member I ever met and that "Jagger Swagger" is in incredible. When I met him, Mick appeared to have a diamond between his teeth! It looked to be there sonwhen he smiled and a picture was taken, he would have a sparkle in his smile. Like in an old Ultrabrite toothpaste commercial! As for Charlie Watts, I'm also a Jazz fan and I loved his releases.

      This is very true. I've been playing in a modestly successful Stones cover band for five years and although the other guitarist and l have mastered all the licks, we still fall short getting the feel at times. There's something ironclad about Keith's timing that's elusive.

      It’s interesting to see his right hand technique in this video. I think I’d have to unlearn a lot of what I think of as “correct” movement to play these riffs. He’s very loose and uneconomical with his hand motion. It’s so relaxed and yet when he strikes the note it’s at the perfect point in the beat. It’s interesting to hear how questlove is struggling a bit to lock in to the beat but Richards just grooves on without missing anything. It’s honestly more impressive than any guitar shredder I’ve seen.

Saw hiim twice as our post office when we both were mailing a letter. Just said to him, "Love your music and your work with the Rolling Stones," He just said thank you, and went on his way the first time we met. He really is an amazing guitarist.
