Oh no I wouldn't not believe that to be the case, it may not be the case, but given that the Stones were in at the beginning of what we are calling 'rock' in the sense that bands started having two guitar players, then the 'weaving' such as it is could certainly be attributed in the first instance to Jones and Richards. To an extent there was similar going on in some of the blues bands they were listening to, and who's music they were trying to get to grips with. Of course in much of the Stones early work with Jones and Richards, there is a clear separation of roles with what you might say, a 'conventional' rhythm and lead going on, you know with one playing rhythm only, and the other playing the fills and the solos.

My view would be that Jones and Richards had the same idea about where they wanted to go with their guitar playing, and that was definitely working round one another. I think Keith didn't get that with Mick Taylor whose playing was as you know more linear and melodic, but found Woody to be like Jones, in line with his own musical thinking as far as guitar playing went.

I think Richards and Wood have developed the 'weaving', and taken it beyond where it was with Jones and Richards, at least up to the late eighties anyway. Of course they have had more time to develop it. When I think of a song like 'Beast of Burden', I hear that as being a perfect example of the height to which the pair managed to take the art form to. I also wonder if Keith's extensive use post '69 of open tuning, has lent itself to the 'weaving' especially with Wood to take his musical cues from, and vice versa?
