👅 Keith Richards drops to one knee with his Telecaster, one hand on his head and a thumb up to the crowd, in a leopard print shirt that could only belong to him. The Telecaster has been at the heart of Keith's sound for decades. In the late 1960s he started playing in five string open G tuning, taking the low string off entirely, and that stripped down setup drives Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and Start Me Up. It is a big part of why a Stones riff is recognizable within a couple of notes. Keith and Mick Jagger had known each other as young boys in Dartford, then ran into each other again on a train platform there in October 1961, when Mick was carrying records by Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters. That chance meeting led to a songwriting partnership and a band that has outlasted almost every one of its peers. Keith was born in Dartford, Kent, on December 18, 1943. Which pairing do you think brought out the best in him: Keith with Brian Jones, Mick Taylor or Ronnie Wood?
