[GuitarJaeger50]

Music the old fashioned way. I love it. Saw this a while back and it inspired me to build my first cigar box guitar. Finished it a few days ago and can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing guitar as much. Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, guess you're using open A tuning, but what key is that harp your playing?

[H0LL0WBELLY]

@GuitarJaeger50 yeah the cbg is tuned AEA-the harp is in D.(Its the same in all the songs). glad your enjoying your cbg-I own a few 6 strings but they're covered in dust!

[screamingcockatoo]

Fanfreakingtastic!

[H0LL0WBELLY]

@screamingcockatoo thank you Mr.Cockatoo :0)

[screamingcockatoo]

@H0LL0WBELLY

I made a CBG myself and had a friend play it, now I want to make more!

I fretted the neck and it turned out terrific!

[wheelinco]

you need to redo this but turn your vocals up more, Hell I would buy it!!

[H0LL0WBELLY]

@wheelinco you're right-and indeed I did redo this (and all these tunes and more) on the album I just released called 'Punk,Northern and Blue' on cdbaby.Theres a link on my youtube channel homepage-bottom left.Why not check it out. Cheers, HB

[guitarlips1]

@H0LL0WBELLY

I personally love where the vocals sit in the mix, It a adds to the tension and makes it feel more urgent.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

@guitarlips1 thanks for the input dude.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

hey thanks.

[Django5198]

Monstrous performance! Keep it up man!!!!!! Love the sound!

[IEntertainers]

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[williestratton]

i usually find cigar box guitar videos terribly annoying

with fat old american rockers acting like blues is an old friend

but this is something else... i friggin love this.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

glad y'liked it-thanks for subscribing.

[williestratton]

@H0LL0WBELLY aw man i loved it

just noticed too... is that a jay turser amp on the ground there? if so how does that thing sound?

[H0LL0WBELLY]

Cheers Willie,

no dude-its a Liberty amp-a modern mains/battery operated amp-it just looks retro.I like collecting little battery operated busker amps.

[YeahDoItMusic]

I love your music.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

cheers :0)

[ACMercker]

So I was just goin' to send Mr. Saunders a note to let him know about the sounds goin' down round about your parts... he already knows. Spotted him as your friend on Myspace. Way to go brother. Godspeed and Good luck to you.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[llDeann]

[2blindboyblue]

Cigar box that rocks, suitcase for stomp bass and sporting the "jack" in the back. Love it!

[rebob59]

[huntermccartyney]

[Muertodia]

F$#@ing rock and roll, awesome. Thanks for the tunes.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[kdwilent]

Cool stuff man!

[batbrain72]

Since I decided to build my own cigarboxGuitar, I have been listening to A LOT of folks play them on youtube...and you are REALLY GOOD. Thanks for the inspiration. I'd be jamming right now but the bridge on mine just broke. I think metal is probably better than wood. :)

[H0LL0WBELLY]

cheers Bat.

[ijkoool69]

Very GOOD indeed ! I think I'm going to make myself a CBG after seeing some of your videos. I'm truly IMPRESSED.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[10past2]

Totally AWSOME video ! Regards from Australia - PJ.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

cheers PJ-its peoples favourite but I dont know why-maybe its the suitcase!

[10past2]

I feeel its the whole package (pardon the pun), the concept, the rythum, the feel, the timeing, the sound, the appearance, your voice, your playing - extremly well done !

[H0LL0WBELLY]

hi munkey-ok the cbg is in A, so my harp is in D.

if u got a harp in G you would have to play the guitar in D.

put 'cross harp' into google for further info.hope this helps.

[munkeytrumpets]

what tuning is that harmonica?

i want a bluesier tone... right now i got a "G"

[Uberbeat]

Utterly, mind-blowingly awesome mate, love it.Give us more.And more.Don't ever stop.

[tamabirch]

Hi John, Great sound, loved listening to it, saw your bros Graham in Asda gave me you tube details. Will write you soon. Love to maggie. Debs (Sav)

[H0LL0WBELLY]

hey Debs-long time no see-your old man'd like this stuff-you should turn him onto it-its all his fault anyway-ha ha ha!

[ksprague]

Hollowbelly Rocks. Great Video.

[ekserchina]

Awsome dude. I'm building a 6string cigar box guitar. I have a feeling my neck if way to narrow so I might make it a 4string. This is a 3string right?

[H0LL0WBELLY]

yeah-3 strings- plenty of people like 4 stringers but i only play 3 strings cbg's myself.cheers.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

pickup is a piezo= google Shadow sh711 (about £20-30)

amp-yep-straight in the vox DA5.

[keepmusicanart]

awesome sound. I am actually almost done with a cbg i'm working on. just need to do a few more things. one is electrifying. I am going to put in a piezo but was curious what you are using. It sounds nice and dirty. it looks like its going through that vox? pathfinder 15r maybe?

[supersucker72]

awesome I could see myself hauling ass down the road to this keep it. brother

[H0LL0WBELLY]

thanks guys.

[markmckaytnt]

wicked mate

[bigbayboats]

cool tune

[H0LL0WBELLY]

i taped a maraca onto the stalk of the kick drum pedal.-2 sounds for the price of 1. cheers.

[bradicic]

How are you getting that tamborine-like sound? Very cool

[bonzoboom85]

I wish I could turn this feeling into seeds. I would plant them everywhere I go. Go plant the seeds, my friends.

[WELDUROWN]
