@RIFFSUAREZ Thank you for your interest and question. Yes, you can use a hubcap for the protective cover. Google Larry Pogreba guitars. Inside is a thin commercially made spun aluminum cone that is used for the resonator. Enjoy
@master18666 Thanks for stopping by. I am assuming you are a child on the internet without parental guidance. Why not spend your time more constructively by making your own youtube page. Don't waste your life and make yourself look ignorant too.
@walmic1000 Thank you for your kind words. Often viewers make this comment about the people passing by. It is mainly because my friend is right in front of me filming that they don't stop. They are just being courteous. Actually, Provincetown is a great venue to busk. The people are appreciative / generous and usually stop to talk. I highly recommend the Portugese fried dough. Enjoy.
@twowheels87 Thank you for your comment. This guitar was build by James Millinchuk, a professional guitar builder. Glad to hear you are enjoying the music.
@TheDilligan Thank you for your comment. Well, like my guitar teacher told me, If you have the desire, apply some consistent effort and put in the time, it is all possible. If you are interested, check out my instructional video CD 1 (Open D Tuning) on ebay by searching: keni lee The CD is very reasonably priced and will help you build a solid foundation. CD 2 continues the course, but explores Open G Tuning that is used to play this song. Feel free to write if you have any questions. Enjoy
Wow...cool dude.....btw....here's some nice busker competition....a lot of cool buskers there ... enjoy =) randrworld[dot]com/buskers-competition.php
@kzustang Thank you for your interest and kind words. While producing a series of lessons, I post them for free on Youtube.

@ak474orM16 Thank you for your comment. Actually, the audience is usually very interested and also generous. It is when there is someone in front of me video taping that they tend to keep back. Enjoy.
checked out your stuff on ebay and have purchased CD 1 and your album, looking fwd to them arriving, you have revived my interest in the blues with your inspirational clips, thanks for sharing them.........so cool man, so cool.
@foodfanatic42 Thank you for your comments and purchases. Please contact me after you receive them and have time to review them. I am interested in your feedback. Also, please feel free to write if any questions arise as you work through the lessons. Enjoy.
@zachblues1 Thank you for your comment. Using fingerpicks adds proctection to your fingers. You can dig deeper into the strings to get greater volume and play rolls like a banjo. Enjoy.
@RockNostalgic Thank you for your comment. Rich? Me? LOL But, I got my health and good friends who love me. This has great personal value to me! Enjoy.
Thank you for your comment. Actually, a lot of people stop to listen and talk. A great Busking venue. I think because my friend is standing right in front of me filming, people don't want to get in the way. P-town is great vacation spot. If you ever have the opportunity to go, make sure you get a big tasty fried Portugese donut. Happy Holidays. Enjoy.
Thank you for your kind words. The guitar was built by a local builder here in New Jersey, James Millinchuk. Using the neck from my rebuilt 1935 National Duolian and a giant display Cigar Box I purchased on ebay. I think Robert would be amazed by his popularity. Too bad he did not live to reap the fruits of his labor. Now that is the Blues! Happy Holidays Enjoy.
Thank you for your enthusiastic comment. Please consider purchasing my instructional video CD2. In this series of lessons I teach the theory and techniques found in the Spanish (aka Open G) tuning used in this song. Armed with this information you will have no trouble figuring out my arrangement or creating one for yourself. Go to ebay and search: Keni Lee Please feel free to write if you have questions. Enjoy.
I hope you didn't mistake me and think I was trying to talk bad about you or Mr. Johnson. I was mearly saying I like the legend that he had sold his soul to the devil in order to write and play like he did. Some might say that his new music, with the power of the devil in his fingers, was what other artists would emulate eventually leading to rock and roll. Not that I necesarilly belive that Johnson sold his soul, but it is a good story none the less.
No, I certainly did not take your comment negatively. I was simply making a general statement. Actually, I believe the crossroads ledgend was started previously about earlier blues artiists. It was the popularity of RJ that cemented his connection to the tale. Thank you for your comment. Enjoy.
Well, curse seems a little extreme to me. Everyone is guilty of the personification of the Devil. We need to have a little sympathy for him. After all, at some point in all our lives we have all done something intentionally wrong. It is impossible to know Good, if you don't understand Evil. It takes a right and a left foot to walk in this World. Everything is just not as simple as Black and White.
You can glean the wheat from the chaff, but don't think just because you have no need for the chaff, it is not vital. We are as much as what we hate, as we are as much as what we love. Thank you for your comment. Enjoy.
Thank you. Well, you know I had to look him up, because I'm a dinsaur and have no idea who you where talking about. But thank you because he is younger and handsome. Most people say I look like John Turturro. LOL. Not as good looking, but talented and has a few more pennies than me. Enjoy.
great cover dude most of the lyrics are wrong but it,s still cool this is the stuff that should be in the charts not the commercialised garbage the record companies try to force feed everyone at the moment. curious did you make that guitar yourself and if you did how . plz check out the animated video clip to my song over the mountain and comment plz
Thank you. I try to keep the lyrics straight, but after awhile those RJ songs just seem to blend together. lol. The guitar was made by a local guitar builder Jimmy Millinchuk using the neck from my rebuilt 1935 National Duolian and a very large display sized cigar box I purchased on ebay. Enjoy.
Thank you for your comment. No, actually this is a great place to play. The people were very friendly, interested, and generous. The reason no one is stopping now, is because my friend is right in front of me filming. Enjoy.
Thank you for your comment. No, this is in the USA. Provencetown, Mass. Cape Cod. Back in the day, it was a fishing village, but now it is a popular vacation area right on the ocean. I visit Canada annually and go to Pierrefonds. Enjoy.
Thank you. Ya, it is interesting that there is no footage of him playing a resonator. I guess it was all about being electric in the fifties. Modern Big City, not Country. The Blues had a Baby and they called it Rock-n-Roll! Enjoy.
Thank you for your question. If you are interested in learning this style please consider purchasing my instructional video CDs. Series 1 teaches Open D / E and Series 2 teaches Open G / A. They are available on ebay for only $9.99 each. Search: Keni Lee My current auctions just ended and I will repost them later today. Thank you for your interest.
Thank you. Please look to the right of my videos. I usually have the tuning info available. I'm using Spanish Tuning, Key of F, CFCfac. Low to high. Just like Open G, but a whole step lower. Enjoy.
Thank you. Yes, having a good guitar makes playing a lot easier. I worked hard for many years as a professional chef. I would save my money and buy guitars. Currently, I 've been selling some of my collection on ebay. Enjoy.
Thank you. Actually, it is a very nice venue to busk. The people were very friendly and generous. I guess the reason people are not stopping in this video is because my friend is standing right in front of me filming. Enjoy.
You know there is an old Blues song called Bulldozer Blues that has a flute solo. It was later covered in the 1960s and called Going up the Country by Country Joe and the Fish. I think pan flutes would sound great.
Thank you. Ya, that would have been great. That is the cool thing about being a harp player, all you need is a pocket to carry your ax and you are on the road. Enjoy.

If you are interested in learning, please check out my instructional video CDs that are available for sale on Ebay. Search: Keni Lee Also, please feel free to write if you have any questions. Enjoy.
Thank you. The Blues is very versatile. It is very easy to plug a lick from one song into another song. This makes it a lot of fun because I can continuously change the arrangement, and not get stuck in too much repitition. Enjoy.
I started learning Blues guitar back in the 1980s from instructional tapes by Stefan Grossman and Happy Traum. Later I attended seminars by Woody Mann, Bob Brozman, Mike Dowling, John Cepas, and Steve James. Thank you for your question.
Thank you. My friend, Jimmy built it for me using the old neck from my rebuilt 1935 National Duolian and a large retail size display cigar box that I purchased on ebay.
Thank you for your comment. Well, I think there are still many black people playing the Blues, along with all the other children of the rainbow. The question really is, why are so many middle aged white men attracted to the Blues? I personally would say because it is a great form of music, and I am deeply indebted to the early Black Americans who invented and developed into the art it is today. Enjoy.
oh god my best friends dad would absolutly love this not to say that i dont i do! it shows white man cant play the blues i want on of those guitars too! are they hard to build i love it and i know you dont need my advice but keep it up!
Thank you for your comment. My friend, Jimmy who built this guitar, is going to build a simular model that will be sold on ebay. When it is available for sale, I will post a video. If you are interested in building your own, start by googling cigar box guitar for further information. Happy New Year!
Thank you. Well, remember there is someone right in front of me filming. So, this video does not give an accurate representation of the situation. It is a great place to busk. I made good money. Happy New Year. Cheers!
Thank you for your comment. In actuality, I attracted a lot of attention. Many people were very generous, and I meet a lot of interested people. It is funny when you play on the street, some people look, and don't know what to make of it, others, come right up and want to know all about it. Happy New Year!
Thank you. My friend, Jimmy built this guitar for me, using the neck from my rebuilt 1935 National Duolian, and a large retail display cigar box that I bought on ebay. He is going to build a simular instrument to sell on ebay. I just finished finding all the parts. I will post a video when it is completed and up for sale. Happy New Year!
Thank you. I am very fortunate to have Jimmy as a friend. He is a very talented builder who has done work in the past for Sting. He has done restoration work and built a small parlor guitar for him. It is very kind of him to take on my projects. Enjoy.
THANK YOU!!! I have been looking for the last 2 hours on you tube for someone who can play a proper Robert Johnson cover and do it justice.You rule!! Please keep it going!!
Thank you. Please look to the right of my videos, I usually have information that includes tuning. I'm tuned in Spanish tuning. This is commonly known as Open G, DGDgbd low to high. In this video, the guitar is tuned down a whole step to Open F CFCfac. I tune the guitar to match my voice. Happy New Year! Enjoy.
I've always wanted to play this song the right way with the right sound but I just couldn't. Your version is the best I've ever listened to and I'm learning it. If I only could find and afford that amazing guitar here in Argentina...
Thank you. I think the box is just old dried out pine. I bought the box on ebay. lol. The trick with resonator guitars is to get the cone to ring correctly. String guage and tuning is very important to get the right downward pressure to drive the cone. Happy Holidays! Enjoy.
wow! your guitar is a box! (compplement, not insult ftr) i wanted to build a telecaster box guitar but a box of wood with pickup cavities aperently costs 700$ good job!
KeniLeeBurgess, nice playing, and singin', I hope someday my little cigar box guitar grows up big and strong like yours! Check out my video response...he..he
blues songs are supposed to be reinterpreted, that's how the masters did it, by copying others and changing the song to fit their style. now almost 100 years later many standards are a LONG ways away from the original.
Thank you for your comment. I agree with your opinion, but I must also include I find players who study and are able to reproduce original versions an important contribution. Not only to preserving the Blues artform, but also good entertainment. It blows my mind when someone plays RJ in the original key and it sounds like a old 78rpm. I have learned many useful ideas from other players who where able to figure out musical phrases that I struggled with for a long time. Happy Holidays! Enjoy.
Thank you...lol...no seriously. I bought it on ebay. It is a retail size box that a store owner would use in his cigar shop. Please see the other video that I describe this guitar. Enjoy.
so is it possible to make a home made Resonator (slide) guitar with a hubcap? just curious.

I started learning Blues guitar back in the 1980s from instructional tapes by Stefan Grossman and Happy Traum. Later I attended seminars by Woody Mann, Bob Brozman, Mike Dowling, John Cepas, and Steve James. Thank you for your question.

you know what i noticed, no black people play the blues now.
just middle aged white people hahaah.
nice cover by the way.
eazyduzitjacob 3 years ago
Thank you for your comment. Well, I think there are still many black people playing the Blues, along with all the other children of the rainbow. The question really is, why are so many middle aged white men attracted to the Blues? I personally would say because it is a great form of music, and I am deeply indebted to the early Black Americans who invented and developed into the art it is today. Enjoy.

Thank you for your comment. My friend, Jimmy who built this guitar, is going to build a simular model that will be sold on ebay. When it is available for sale, I will post a video. If you are interested in building your own, start by googling cigar box guitar for further information. Happy New Year!

Thank you. Well, remember there is someone right in front of me filming. So, this video does not give an accurate representation of the situation. It is a great place to busk. I made good money. Happy New Year. Cheers!

Thank you for your comment. In actuality, I attracted a lot of attention. Many people were very generous, and I meet a lot of interested people. It is funny when you play on the street, some people look, and don't know what to make of it, others, come right up and want to know all about it. Happy New Year!

Thank you. My friend, Jimmy built this guitar for me, using the neck from my rebuilt 1935 National Duolian, and a large retail display cigar box that I bought on ebay. He is going to build a simular instrument to sell on ebay. I just finished finding all the parts. I will post a video when it is completed and up for sale. Happy New Year!

Thank you. I am very fortunate to have Jimmy as a friend. He is a very talented builder who has done work in the past for Sting. He has done restoration work and built a small parlor guitar for him. It is very kind of him to take on my projects. Enjoy.

Top drawer guitar plucking, six finger banjee playing, musical mastery-mystery!! What open tune are you playing in please?
lujas10 3 years ago
Thank you. Please look to the right of my videos, I usually have information that includes tuning. I'm tuned in Spanish tuning. This is commonly known as Open G, DGDgbd low to high. In this video, the guitar is tuned down a whole step to Open F CFCfac. I tune the guitar to match my voice. Happy New Year! Enjoy.

I've always wanted to play this song the right way with the right sound but I just couldn't. Your version is the best I've ever listened to and I'm learning it. If I only could find and afford that amazing guitar here in Argentina...
What wood is it made of?
duodeno 3 years ago
Thank you. I think the box is just old dried out pine. I bought the box on ebay. lol. The trick with resonator guitars is to get the cone to ring correctly. String guage and tuning is very important to get the right downward pressure to drive the cone. Happy Holidays! Enjoy.
KeniLeeBurgess 3 years ago
wow! your guitar is a box! (compplement, not insult ftr) i wanted to build a telecaster box guitar but a box of wood with pickup cavities aperently costs 700$ good job!

blues songs are supposed to be reinterpreted, that's how the masters did it, by copying others and changing the song to fit their style. now almost 100 years later many standards are a LONG ways away from the original.
schlooterhead 3 years ago
Thank you for your comment. I agree with your opinion, but I must also include I find players who study and are able to reproduce original versions an important contribution. Not only to preserving the Blues artform, but also good entertainment. It blows my mind when someone plays RJ in the original key and it sounds like a old 78rpm. I have learned many useful ideas from other players who where able to figure out musical phrases that I struggled with for a long time. Happy Holidays! Enjoy.
