I just discovered your videos this morning after buying a beautiful cigar box electric fretless slide guitar. You are amazing! I will be buying your CDs. You're my new favorite musician! This particular video is really well done and makes me appreciate my new guitar even more!
I am now convinced to get a CBG. I own two nationals which are perfect sounding but the tone and looks of the CBGs are something i must have. That one stinger is just awesome. Thanks for the education -- you made me smile -- just awesome.
i never hear anything rock so hard on one string. just goes to show it's not the instrument, it's the musician. even a "piece of crap" homemade guitar with one string can rock. it's just how you play it.
Education in Deep Blues right there! Wonder what the slide is made out of. It looks like a bottleneck, but it has a round closed end. Thanks for sharing
@pwinokc Make One! It's really easy and really cheap. $3 for a box, $6 for some strings, you can get tuners from ebay for $10, or go to your local guitar shop and get some mismatched tuners from their junk box (I guarantee they have one). Use a piece of hard wood for the bridge, use a bolt for the nut and you're off. Later, solder a broken piezo element to a jack ($6 from radio shack?) and you can hook it up to an amp... I've been building them for a year now and they're FUN.

thanks, that was great! when I play slide, seems like I mainly play 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings, this would be neat. Where can I get one?
