Recently rediscovered The Rolling Stones “Back Of My Hand” from their 2005 Album “A Bigger Bang”, and thought it would lend itself to a bit of 3 String Slidin’ by the “Ham Fisted Bricklayer”, used the usual “Kiss” principle and kept in mind a recent comment by “Poorness Studios” which was, “play it like you hear it”.
On the actual Stones recording there’s lots of little guitar fills & harmonica etc., but basically it’s just the one riff being repeated, which is about the limit of my capabilities
:-D

"Thanks Fellow Ham Fisted Denbo", love this particular Git, and my Vox Night Train, which, for unknown reasons, I don't seem to use all that much, might have to change my ways in regard to the Vox.  :-)

Thanks 'UJ', Yep!, I think the "Kiss" and "Play It Like You Hear It" principles make a lot of sense, particularly when it comes to someone like myself, with limited understanding of all things musical, other than what I hear entering my ears.

Agree with your comment about needing an ending, started going off into a series of harmonics to complete the finish, but stuffed it up!, and cut it off when editing, hence the abrupt end, and also, like yourself, would have liked more of a Bass string thump to parts of it, but!, although the string tension on #193 is fairly low, the light .038 low string didn't have the desired result, might do another version in the future using a more suitable git, so as to get that Bass'y Thump to it.

Glad you approve of AGP #193, it was the last build I done way back in Aug 2015, for part of a Band of Brothers, I call "The Bundy Boys, and are high on my list of favourite looking builds. :-)

Thanks for the photo of that cool git.  Alan, I think this is both really good and your best.   Keep this kind of thing going.   

Yeah.  Play it like you hear it.  I know I hear songs different than a lot of folks  Only thing I can do is play it like I hear it.  All you maybe needed here was some kind of closing.  What you did was okay but my ears wanted to hear a bass string thump.  But maybe that is hearing it like I would do it.

Good stuff.
