I played guitar for over 30 years and my style was influenced by Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Johnny Winter, and rock-oriented classical music.
I would like to have played with Bob Dylan or the Stones.
Dylan was bummed out when Mike Bloomfield left his band and I would have been glad to have taken his place. I would love to have added some really passionate instrumental improvisation to “Blonde on Blonde”.
However, I think I would have left Dylan when he went country, or maybe he would have let me go because maybe I wouldn’t have been as good as I thought I would be. :-p
The Stones have always had great rhythm guitar but lead guitar seems to have been a secondary consideration for them. I would love to have added that extra dimension. It would have been somewhat like Hendrix or Winter playing lead for them.
A lot of the time when I listen to a Stones tune (e.g., “Start Me Up”) I’ll add my own imaginary lead guitar riffs to a good portion of the track.
If I played with the Stones, I don’t think I’d ever leave them.
