I think - this is a guess, not a "I know and you don't" trip - that Keith started playing those 'same three notes' in solos on the Steel Wheels tour for his Sad Sad Sad solo. And it went from there. It's interesting to a point but not on so many numbers of songs as it has become. On SAL, he does it in She Was Hot, SFTD, I think he does a goofy one in Faraway Eyes (along with some other bizarre licks!), Satisfaction, etc...so it is NOT in every song. It is in a lot of songs.
So why is that?
I think Keith likes it. I don't think it's a matter of the shape of his fingers, because is that were the case then he wouldn't be doing all that he does in Midnight, As Tears Go By, Shattered, etc...because that requires just as much effort blah blah blah...
I think Keith likes that rolling lick so much he just does it whenever he feels like - whether it works or not!
