  1. @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.

  2. how exactly is this supposed to be a tutorial?

  3. That’s an Anniversary Mexi-Tele Yes? I have one too.

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

  5. What is the specific tuning for each string? Thanks!

  6. 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?

  7. oh yeah and he’s prob been with other types as well, maybe David Bowie, so the rumour goes…thanks for the correction, I’m a bad speller at the best of times

  8. Yeah thats right just about the same.
    

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

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

  11. Nice work, thanks for slowing it down!

  12. VERY GOOD guitar job,waaw*****5+(watch my standard G tuning version by Ronnie Wood):D

  13. 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? 😉
