And in the end, I guess it i mainly Jagger whom really likes Chuck's playing style, judging on the type of musicians Jagger has used for his solo carreer.

I guess Leavell is modern, voice-coached Jagger's trusted man - he is there to provide the hints for right notes for Jagger to follow, keeping the songs in a right track (I think "Angie" above is a good example of that). I think this reminds us of Jagger's remerk of Taylor once being the "melodic" guitar player which made his singing easier. I suppose Keith and Ronnie are rather hopeless guitarists in that sense to guide and help the singer in his melodies (and whatever weaknesses there is in modern - post '89 - Jagger's singing, he at least stays in tune rather well.)

The Leavell-Jagger axis is extremily clear in them playing more obscure tunes, old rarities, etc.- it is seemingly Chuck who actually knows and plays the tunes and Jagger síngs for him (or within the context provided by him). This also is the source for karaoke-like performances - teh Stones making replicas of their old songs, which is typical to whole Vagas-era.

I don't think that was exactly what he said. And have you ever sung in a band, where there is lot of lead guitar playing while you're singing? It doesn't necessarily make it easier winking smiley

However, theme-based melody lines, like on Winter (It's really the chicken or egg, here, what came first - the strings or Taylor's guitar, I dunno), he follows the guitar lines a few times, and that's cool. But often did things like this happen?
