Good, good stuff for sure. Don't stop now. There are very few things better than watching a GUITAR PLAYER play guitar!
Your tone is just beautiful, very appropriate for this song as well
Thanks for posting and keep it up

Just beautiful. One of my favourite you tube video's.
Course I like telecasters through Fender amps too.

Hey, he is good, thanks for sharing.

dont sweat that buzz about playing the tune in e or f, if you dont have a horn section in your band, then go with the e chord, i do , and this song is close to the johnny river,s version of memphis, and many other s that are in "e". that vibro king kills, i play my upgraded fender esquire thru an old fender super reverb and retain that twang. well,keep spanking that plank,..like a big dog, adios

You have to play that in the key of " F ", not in " E ". The horn players always insist on the keys of " F, C or Bb" if you can't streatch, capo it...! I can play it in " F " and without a capo, and I have small hands, because I have learned to reach the D and the D# notes on the 4th string instead of the 5th, to avoid that streatch. Try it, it works good for me...!



Hi, this is Al who played this, thanks my guitar bud, Ron. Amp is a Vibro-King, guitar is a 96 Fender B-Bender Tele (bender is a nuisance on this tune, used only on the last chord)retro Fender vintage pickups installed, old Boss analog delay, Boss compressor. I learned Honky from Buddy Holly's garage tape version (he was tuned down a tone to D!), I tried it in F, the old rhythm guy didn't like those chords! Wish I could trem-pick the high part; yes, what I know of Hideaway,thanx all 4 kind words

@Bliggick ..... Thanks for filling in the blanks for all the feedback you've rec'd Al.
Your 'fans' need more info ... maybe we'll slow this down to tutorial level one day.
