The only child of Bert Richards and Doris Dupree Richards, Keith Richards was born in Dartford, Kent. His father was a factory worker, was injured during World War II. Their residence in Chastilian Road hit by bomb V-1 flying bombs Nazi soldiers on July 5, 1944 when she and her mother went visiting Bert Richards Hospital Normandy invasion. The parents of the father is a social worker and leader of the social institutions. Father from his mother (Augustus Theodore Dupree), who often tour the UK with a jazz group named 'Gus Dupree and his Boys' was the first musical influences and desires him interested in guitar playing. His mother introduced the music of Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington for the first time then buy a kind of acoustic guitar brands Rosetti for 7 pounds while less supportive father often says "Stop the noise!". His first idol was a guitar player Scotty Moore.

Richards entered the same school with Mick Jagger, Wentworth Primary School. Both had known each other during school and lived next door until 1954. In the same year Richards family moved to a new place he described as 'soul destroying residential areas housing officials in most suburban areas' which looks like a 'dull concrete jungle'. This new residence makes little confused Richards can not be everywhere, so he moved the school a year later in Dartford Technical School (at that time which later split into 2 schools), namely Wilmington Grammar School for Boys and Wilmington Enterprise College who lived in 1955 - 1959.

Richards still maintain a relationship with her mother, who strongly supported his musical activities, but increasingly tenuous relationship with his father did not even contact each other until 1982.

Richards riveting style grip and rhythm guitar playing, highly skilled avoid repeating the same guitar riff (in a musical composition) called guitarist Chris Spedding as "direct, clear and with no strings attached". Richards prefers performing with another guitarist and always accompanied by another guitarist on every tour. Chuck Berry is always a source of inspiration. Richards and Jagger often brought her music in their first band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys and the Jagger and Richards are introduced to music early appearance Berry Rolling Stones, Jimmy Reed's music and Muddy Waters is another source of inspiration and on which to base the style of mixing and match rhythm melody developed dam Richards and Brian Jones.

In the late 1960s further reduced the role of Brian Jones, Richards handed the guitar entirely on the number of track record, including a slide guitar that is the expertise of Jones in the early years of the group. Jones replacement guitarist, Mick Taylor work with the Rolling Stones from 1969 to 1974 and he is very skilled to play melody, revealing a clear distinction between melody and rhythm boundary, it is important in an appearance. In 1975 Taylor was replaced by Ronnie Wood style game marks the return of mutual support that he and Richards call 'art of the ancient passage'.

Year 1967/1968 Rolling Stones kicked off "a number of tour provides an opportunity to focus on Richards 'Open Tunings'". Open Tunings usually played on slide guitar but Richards to play on the game rhythm. In the play he developed innovative and distinctive style that is by holding the chord sound and vibrate on the strings I-IV that can be heard on "Street Fighting Man" and "Start Me Up". Richards uses a variety of open Tunings (besides using a standard tone) but with 5 strings favorite variation of tone GDGBD wear with open G string without pressing 6 (bass). Some Telecasternya tuned guitars like this and setting like this is very visible on the color of the Rolling Stones music also appeared in concert "Hongky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and Start Me Up".

Richards prioritize the use of acoustic guitar as the basis for his guitar playing and once said: "... you will never get the most out on an electric guitar because you lose touch". Richards' acoustic guitar playing is heard on many numbers throughout career including the Rolling Stones "Not Fade Away," "Brown Sugar", "Beast of Burden" and "Almost Hear You Sigh". All the guitar sounds contained in the song "Street Fighting Man" studio version, is the acoustic guitar in a way bring him closer to the microphone means of a mini cassette recorder, the same techniques are also used on the number "Jumpin'Jack Flash".

Richards describes his job like the Rolling Stones 'gave the oil on the engine', Ian Stewart called it the leader of the music Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman and Ronnie Wood, both said that while members of other bands followed the drummer, all personnel to follow Richards Rolling Stones. In 1978 Wyman once said "you can not go on stage to play without following the game".

Keith Richards playing bass in a recording studio the Rolling Stones, from "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby Standing In The Shadow" (1966) to "Inflamy" (2005). An unusual event was when she and Bill Wyman are both desperate need to play the bowed double bass on "Ruby Tuesday" (1967). Wyman can press and strum the strings while Richards parts swipe bowstring.

Richards and Jagger collaborated writing songs in 1963, following The Beatles' Lennon / McCartney and can support from manager Andrew Loog Oldham The Rolling Stones, who saw the band's success just one step. The results of the initial kolaborsi Richards and Jagger also recorded by other artists, including Gene Pitney, who wrote the song "That Girl Belongs to Yesterday" is so the sequence no. 1 on the UK Top Ten singles. Richards recalled "We write songs only air finally entered the Top 10 hits. ... There is nothing to us, unless we just wrote it, that's all."

Rolling Stones original work of Jagger / Richards first to enter a top-ten hit "The Last Time" (1965) and "Satisfaction" (1965) so the song no. A class of their world. (Richards declared the music "Satisfaction" came while she slept, woke up so she had plenty of time to record it in his room cassette recorder). Since the album Aftermath (1966) almost a whole album contains the work of Jagger / Richards. Their music is no influence of blues, R & B, rock & roll, pop, soul, gospel and country. Passing through the 70's music they incorporate elements of funk, disco, reggae and punk. Richards also recorded ballads such as "All About You" (1980).
