Five strings, four chords, three fingers, two hands, one asshole
Quoted correctly.
"it is argued that Keith Richards addressed this problem by adopting the use of open tunings, especially the open-G tuning that he first began using during the recording of Beggars Banquet. Doing so reduced the fretting demands on his left hand, thereby allowing more focus on the rhythmic aspects of his right-handed strumming."
From Quora;
"Keith Richards is is in his own world and knows where he's at, enjoys being there and wouldn't have it any other way. He has guitars tuned to the Keith Richards tune book that sound wonderful. I've seen way back interviews with him that's made me laugh so hard I'd cry, seen him all but cuss Chuck Berry out because Chuck won't in tune, and on n on.
But Keith can take any guitar and get everything in it out without any trouble whatsoever. There's only a very few people on the planet who have dominion over the guitar to the point of where they are one and Mr. Richards is one of the those few in my opinion."
I have quit fearing for the future of "mankind", a forgone conclusion.
And to reafirm, also from Quora.
"Keith was a better regular lead guitarist.
I always thought he played Chuck Berry licks better than Chuck ever did. Keith was faster than Chuck and put more balls into it."
Personally, I don't know of any drugs known to man yet that would make you think that Keef outplayed Chuck, who he had the most tremendous respect for, but could hardly hold a candle to. In the movie Hail Hail Rock n Roll, you get to witness some truly embarassing Chuck vs Keef moments where Keef has trouble copping the riffs correctly and he's obviously slightly impaired.
