Keith Richards

“The co-founder of the Rolling Stones, along with his partner Mick Jagger, is Keith Richards, arguably the best rhythm player in history, and one-half of the “Glimmer Twins.” In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine referred to Richards as the creator of “rock’s greatest single body of riffs” on guitar. Richards was also the inspiration for Johnny Depp’s character, Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. This is what sets him apart from everyone else you’ve met.
