Keith Richards says Mick Jagger is not very musical

Keith Richards has said that Mick Jagger is not very musical, though he praised Jagger as being very good at being Mick.

According to reports, Keith Richards has said that Mick Jagger isn't very musical. I suppose he would know, given that the pair have been co-writing songs for the last forty years. Despite Jagger's input on some of the Rolling Stones' biggest hits Richards says this: "I'll play whatever Mick says he feels like singing that night. I might say, 'You realise, Mick, that you've got five songs in the same key'. But this is a musical thing and Mick is not very musical."

Richards does have some words of praise for his colleague, however. "Mick is very good at being Mick", he says.
