VISU1311: Creativity Blog #5

The video we were assigned to watch was an interesting interview with Keith Richards, guitarist from Rolling Stones. The interviewer is a pro- guitarist himself so the two had plenty to talk about. It was cool to hear how Richards learned the guitar, as he shares the story about his grandfather getting him into the instrument. Richards also shared with the interviewer and viewers some of his techniques he learned and used for this musical career. This was surprising since the interview in the beginning of the video said that Richards may not even play the guitar at all. The correlation Richards mentioned between the two hands while playing guitar was the most fascinating. Like he said, many people think its the hand on the neck of the guitar that is the most important, but actually the hand strumming the guitar is. As he said, “there are two sides to every story”, and he is right, the hand making the rhythm is just as important as the hand making the chord.
