Jones' replacement was the young Mick Taylor - A suburb rhythm player who fitted in excellently with Sir Keifs various dictatorial rhythmic styles. One such idea was his ‘Guitar Weaving' technique, whereby the two guitars would play partial rhythms dipping in and out with each other. The idea was to sound like multiple guitars to give the songs more depth.
Sir Keif is pretty much a rhythm fascist (He once got into an argument with his idol Chuck Berry claiming that Mr. Berry couldn't keep time!) With Taylor fitting into the picture the band could move forward.
