Good speculation jlowe. I agree. Like Jimi Hendrix he is one on the ones I most wish we would have had the opportunity to see and hear the direction he took. His propensity to get bored with things might have really moved him in some cool directions, rock with a blues and world influence, roots music with interesting and unusual instrumentation. Somehow I think he might have avoided jazz and country leanings but who knows.
What effect the Stones were doing is hard to imagine. Either he would have tried to compete with similar better stuff or just tried to take it too a completely different place. I suspect the latter.

I remember Trevor Hobley retreived a teabox in Sussex with tapes and written on the box: Brian Jones band. at the BBC studio's thanks to his connection at that time with BBC prodecer Scott Jones the tapes were played. they turned out to be crammed with dixieland music.

He would either had to really sharpen his eroded guitar skills, or found his own Mick Taylor in order to be relevant at that time.

At the rate he was going, he sadly might have ended up like Syd Barrett...some off kilter solo stuff, and then completely lost.

Then back to pop music. From What I've read. He liked the fame that came with this.
Then after that didn't work, he joined up with a punk band. Became the image for punk rock.
