Keith Richards

You can’t have a debate about the greatest guitarists without Keith Richards. I mean, this guy invented 'cool' before it was even a thing. With a riff style that’s part sloppy genius and part wizardry, he practically plays like he’s doing an art installation in a dive bar. And let's not forget his Tylenol-and-whiskey-fueled persona! Fans are either die-hard Stones devotees or just side-eyeing him as the aging rock star who’s definitely seen some things—like 50 years of ‘Satisfaction’ in his sleep. You either get it or you don’t, but trust me, the guy's guitar is a magic wand that casts rock ‘n’ roll spells. Pick a side, because it’s about to get wild in the Greatest Guitarists of All Time league!
