Keith Richards - Did Johnny Cash influenced your playing

Keith Richards answers a question from a fan. The video was posted on his website around 2004. Did Johnny Cash influenced Keith's way of playing the neck of his guitar? He gives credit to Don Everly as one of the best acoustic rhythm players.

I adore the Everly Brothers. Kickass to see Keith giving credit to the originators. He is the real deal; no other like the man. Bless him.

@KurtRileyOfficial Thanks for your reaction, and I agree.

@KurtRileyOfficial Kieth is a treasure of the English language.

Umm Cralk?

It's Keith, ...not "Kieth".

I'd love to take Keith Richards, Willie Nelson, and Jim Carrey out for dinner and a pastry or five :-D

Good to hear the Great Keith Richards paying tribute to the wonderful Don Everly. Don and his brother Phil changed and legitimized pop music and their influence is all too often downgraded. But Keith, he knows better; great man.

Lemmy and Keith, What a badass combo.

@buchananstreet Keith, and the rest of The Stones, deserve every penny they can make. So what of it...?

[buchananstreet]

not JOHNNY CASH but CASH influenced their playing mainly

i love listening to keith talking about music, he's passionate about it and knows a great deal

@PortsmouthNoir Lemmy's certainly close. But he hasn't written as many classic riffs or songs as Keith has. But he's just as hardcore about his love of early rock and roll as Keith is.
