Can someone help me out with the chords for Back of my Hand?
I'm trying to learn some slide guitar and this sounds like a good song to begin with.

Cheers,

You too? Mick's trying to learn some slide, it seems....

It's in G. Slide guitar on this one is really easy. Tune it to OPEN G(from low to high DGDGBD), and then, then main lick is played only on the G-string(4th string).
5-5-5-3-3-0.

Just fool around with the 5th fret, 3d fret and the open string. The live solo stuff is just really, really simple blues soloing in G with the slide, for example:

17-17-17-3-3-0.

Stuff like that.

Goodluck!

Thanks a lot Reptile!

I like Mick's slide on this song. It isn't the best technical slide in the world but he plays a simple mirror of the vocals. This is more along the simple delta blues style rather than, say, Muddy Waters, but is still good sounding to my ears. If I wanted note perfect and lots of difficult tricks I'd be listening to Ingwe Malmstien (spelling?) and not the Stones.

Why don't you like it T&A? This is one of my favourite Stones songs from the last 20 years!

who said I didn't like it? I love the song - much better live, though.
