Just been listening to "Maggies Samba: where Hank plays an acoustic guitar and it got me wondering how many Shadows tracks featured Hank on acoustic guitar. Has a list ever been compiled? I would love to know of other tracks.

Just off the top of my head:

Poem
Fly me to the Moon
My Grandfather's Clock (12 string)
Genie With the Light Brown Lamp (alternate 12 string version)
Alentejo
A Thing of Beauty
All Day
Autumn (12 String)
Chelsea Boot (12 string)
Thunderbirds Theme (12 string)
Gracie (But probably John Farrar on 12 string)
Some of the 4 Japanese tracks
Some of tracks from Finders Keepers
A Little Bitty Tear
500 Miles
Let it Be Me
Slaughter on 10th Avenue
Most of the Marvin, Welch & Farrar material
Hank's solo albums and, much more I suspect!

Some additional tracks, also off the top of my head:
- All My Sorrows
- The Bandit
- Spanish Music (from "Finder Keepers" indeed)
- The Lute Number (or was it played on an actual lute?)
- Me Oh My
- Little Princess (electric and acoustic)
- Bony Moronie
- Something (electric and acoustic)
- Get Back (electric and acoustic)
- Classical Gas
- If You Leave Me Now (electric and acoustic)
- Right Here Waiting (electric and acoustic)
- Omoide No Nagisa (Beach Of Memories)
- Look Back On Love (the intro only)

"Thunderbirds Theme" does not feature Hank on acoustic lead, or do you mean "Zero X Theme"? "Gracie" does feature acoustic guitar, but only for the rhythm parts, played by Bruce and maybe also John Farrar.

In addition, there is probably a substantial amount of acoustic guitar by Hank on the LPs produced whilst John Farrar was a member of the group.

The jury's out on The Day I Met Marie. Does Hank play guitar at all on the studio version?

I don't think I have that on CD (why bovver?), so it isn't in my database of audio-recordings.

I never realised there were so many tracks. I really appreciate your help. I'll have to put them all on my ipod so i can play them while I'm driving.
