FLATTRACKS: “Honky Tonk Women” - RopeWalkerCountryStar

Rope Walker takes on the classic Rolling Stones song from 1969, stripped down and country-ed up on the two string cigar box guitar.“Walker certainly does Mick and Keef proud!”

I agree RonNorthcutt. Part of it for me is the almost uke size of the little two-string, and how easy that makes it to just pick up and goof on.

Thanks for the encouraging words UncleJohn and JacobBlackwood. I guess the glimmer twins will continue to receive the royalties though... 

i like how a good song is a good song... and how that means that it can be stretched and shaped and re-tailored every which way, and it’s good will still be intact.

I am beginning to think the 2 stringers are the new three stringers. I actually have more fun on them than anything else I have built.

You took that song from The Rolling Stones.  Now it's yours.  Great job, rope.

Walker makes Mick JEALOUS!    Love it.

Thanks PoornessStudios.I agree. I haven’t been playin my six (5) string lately at all. I’m learnin’ what the little ‘un can do.

Chuggin’ the Stones with a Country flair, who’d a thunk it? Rope Walker, that’s who! Great creativity, well done!

I love this Rope. A great twist on this classic tune. I'm digging these 2-strings/3-chords vids. Sometimes stripping it down is best.
