I remeber reading once where Ron mentioned Houndog Taylor as someone he really got into for slide. I believe it because Hound had a simplistic,dirty and raunchy style with slide blues. Kinda like Elmore James on steroids!

I'm not sure about that. Jeff Beck was definitely influenced by Hank, though. The Shadows were terrific.

Mick Taylor?

I actually believe this to be pretty accurate. He has been with Stones many years, and so much of their live work is centered around Taylor era songs. So he really can't escape that influence.

I like where his bass-playing, and his guitar-playing meet. Esp. with faces , his guitarwork was very rhythmic. Not Keith-like, but leaning towards his own bass-work. and his basstracks lean heavily towards guitar.

An "All Stones" special edition of (I think) GUITAR PLAYER magazine included the Ronnie comment that (paraphrase), "Someone asked a friend of mine if the slide playing on VOODOO LOUNGE was someone the Stones brought in from Nashville, which was a big compliment to me."

INTERVIEWER: "Your slide playing sounds more Bakersfield."

RONNIE: "Yeah, it doesn't sound Nashville to me."

This made me Google something like "Bakersfield slide guitar" when I learned Bakersfield slide is a "brighter" sound.

But who exactly from Bakersfield influenced Ronnie I didn't learn.
