    The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. They were active from 1986 to 2001 and have since reformed as a band. The group - with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass) - rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop. They released their major-label debut and fourth album, Gentlemen, in 1993. Pitchfork described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s.
    I've always loved the Whigs, damn they are so underrated! They were such a great band and were so different from the bands in their time.They had soul and a touch of R&B incorporated with their style of heavy rock. Rick McCollum was one of my guitar heroes alongside James Iha of the Smashing Pumpkins these guys weren't the best shredders but they had style and they make some of the best riffs in rock. Anyways Honky's Ladder is one of my favorites from the Whigs! This was a bit of a chore to do cause man the slide parts Rick made was so intricate. But when he plays it live he was as reckless as me but he had more precision I guess. I got close though I think! 😁
    ** oh and I just love that line: "No one ever could shake that ladder like I could"!

      Muchas gracias mi amigo!🙏 Solo usé un pedal simulador de cabina barato para esto, ¡mi Tele es una mezcla! En realidad, sus partes son de diferentes Teles y otras guitarras. ¡Me alegro de que te haya gustado este, aunque a veces las partes de mis diapositivas estaban un poco por todas partes! 😁

    Yes sir. That was great! Where can we see an acoustic version of this... if possible? Cheers from Brazil

      Thank you so much it's nice to see people in beautiful Brazil watching my videos! 😊 I am truly grateful for your visit! 🙏🤍 I would love to do an acoustic version of this song once I get my hands on an acoustic guitar. Unfortunately my acoustic is in pretty rough shape and needs to visit a luthier. Maybe in the near future I will post an acoustic version. Stay tuned! Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers mate! 😀 -Squach
