I never thought Ronnie Wood played fancy, but I think he sure plays tastefully and smart. Here's a cool look at his gear.

Interesting that he started with his steel guitars.

I like Ronnie's lap playing. He's got a nice, loose style. He's definitely more of a tinkerer on pedal steel, but he gets the job done. I LOVE his guitar playing.

| Well,,,, He's done very well for himself, but I've never been impressed by his playing. |

| There are only a few people who would trust the airlines with a 1954 Strat, but I imagine they have a whole separate way of dealing with "the Rolling Stones" than they do the ordinary folk. They may even use trucks the whole way - the big shows sometimes have two sets of stages, leapfrogging each other around. |

John I understand where you're coming from. Ronnie Wood never entered the ranks of the "guitar heroes" in the same way his peers such as Beck, Clapton and Page did. His playing was far too simple. I think he was good at knowing his limitations and focusing on what he could do well. Wood's playing style and ability however was a great fit with the Faces. I liked his work with the Faces much more than with the Stones. There is a video documentary about bass player Ronnie Lane (The Life and Music of Ronnie Lane)with a spot about half way through with Wood playing an old blonde Sho-Bud Pro standing up. Again, very simple, but great tone and feel.

I'll always remember the "Truth" album on which he played bass. I also saw this band in 1968. When he played on the first, or was it second Rod Stewart album, I mean the song "Gasoline Alley" I really dug his guitar playing on this one.
