He never was a blistering guitarist. His forte is minimalist tasteful licks that complement or define a song in a big way.

Keith Richards has proved his worth over the years and created some memorable guitar riffs for the Rolling Stones. He’s past his best now but the fact he still gets up and plays, at all, is a remarkable testament to him.

Diggin into those Chuck Berry double stops will get you out of any situation, especially when he learned them from the man himself.

[pjdarcy]

The fact that he can still even hold a guitar given the state of his arthritic fingers is a miracle.

[Baribrotzer]

Basic and simple done well and with feeling. That's what Keith is about, and that's what he does here.

[ed]

We are all blessed to have him still around to spread the joy of his presence and music.

Keith NEVER does blistering solos. Hooks and riffs however....the GOAT.

[AppalachianFreedom]

Blistering? He was standing beside someone that is capable of blistering! 🎸♫♪♪♫ 🎸

[fiveowaf]

One thing i love about Richard's is that he will openly state, he's still learning to play the guitar, always looking for new techniques and sounds.

[HoustonABC]

No one in the 70's thought he would live anywhere near this long!

[brnrik]

Keith just makes it sound GOOD! Very warm fuzzy & happy! God bless him👏👍✝️🎸

[gregoire]

How old is Keith in January 2025 - 103 years? Man oh man, he's still going strong!!

[petergrohmuller]

You can think whatever you want about the Rolling Stones, but Keith Richard was never known for his virtuosity in guitar solos. 😁

[branko]

Keef never gave two sh*ts about blistering guitar solos and is not about to start now.
He said a million times he's not interested in fretboard finger racing and guitars are rhytm instruments for him.
After all Keef is the Human Riff 🤟🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤

[Foldisfitch]

Try to tear him down all you want but very few attain the heights Keith Richards has in Rock 'n' Roll...period

[newspapertaxis]

When Keith starts to kick it in..Love the way Vince gill back steps and does the slight
head knows who the Man

[deadmanprodinc]

Who ever dreamed up this title knows little about guitar skills and even less about blisters.

[flappospammo]

I'm more impressed with the fact he's still here, legend

[sammybeck]

Even though he has old man vibes on the guitar now he's known for some of the most famous guitar licks ever created and deserves much respect

[brentgrubbs]

Any backwoods picker would blow him out of the water. He IS an absolute genius when it comes to creating musical hits.
