@sabbsj: look, listen, & learn 😉
Thanks, mate, you’ve inspired me to where I’ve cut off the sixth string & re-tuned a subsquier level strat.

That is the same as banjo tuning with the 5 string 2 octaves lower, very cool!

Well played and the tone sounds great.
I have a Laney VC30 and a (mex) telecaster and I’ve had real trouble getting a good keef tone. Any tips? Do you remember which pickup you were using? Did you back off the tone knob to stop it being shrill? Any suggestions for amp settings?

Being open G there is no need for the 6th E string it just gets in the way with this tuning

Wasn’t the original name Country Honk and done acoustically on the "Let it Bleed" album?

Nice job, thanks.
But the song is called Honky Tonk WomEn … with an "e."
Why in the world does everyone spell it as "Woman?"
Doncha’ think Mick has had more than one? 😉
