This 3-String guitar from Joys Guitars was made out of an old empty Ammo Box, and when I took it out of the box I swear I heard it whisper "let's play some 'Gimme Back My Bullets' by @SkynyrdOfficial!"

The combo of this guitar and @HughesandKettneramps Black Spirit 200 floor amp made it easy to dial in some deep & dirty swamp rock tone. I added a Wild Dog Stomp foot pedal for a kick drum sound. I love the melodies in Skynyrd songs, and while the guitar riffs are what made me fall in love with their music, writing these fingerstyle arrangements has really made me appreciate how perfectly the melodies flow over the riffs and how catchy and organic they are. If you dig this arrangement, check out the "Four Walls of Raiford" and "Ballad of Curtis Loew" arrangements I recently posted.

For those blowing out at 3 strings muddy waters had a string coming down at an angle besides the gutter downpipe from his family home he put a metal socket at the end closest to the ground and at around age 8 had made a basic upright lapsteal using a house
