@TonyYoungInTexas Thanks I see you're from the US. That means you have LOADS of options for buying one! I recommend looking on the cigar box nation website. Take a look around and see what you like. You could always build one yourself, there are plans on the site : -)

[philjit1]

[bemuzic]

@philjit1 doesn't have to be anything fancy, just so we can see/hear the CBG....check out Mike Snowden's lessons on YouTube

got my eye on some 3 stringers on ebay

[bemuzic]

@becky2dogs mistakes are how you learn : -)...good luck with the eBay ones!

[becky2dogs]

YOU ARE VERY GOOD, WONDRERING HOW LONG IT TOOK YOU TO AQUIRE THESE SKILLS on the CBG? [ YES I'M A BEGINNER- DOiNG POORLY ]

BENDING OVE MAKES ME SORE

[bemuzic]

@becky2dogs Hi, thanks a lot...I got my first CBG's from eBay in Nov 2009. Check out the Cigar Box Nation site if you haven't already. Lots of usefull stuff on there. I bought the strap...I'll send you a link to where I got it (can't put links in here : -/) Yeah I always play standing up as I have neck and back probs!

Thanks!!!!!! You INSPIRE me.....!!!!!! I was SO impressed when you walked along the river bank and made an Electric 'Diddly Bow' on that big piece of Driftwood in one of your first videos I saw....you have the SOUL of the Delta Blues in your Heart B.....again - I LOVE your music!!!!! Take care, and when I finish my 3 string, I'll post a video....probably be pretty raw and crude tho.....

[bemuzic]

@piercedarrow57 thanks a LOT!!...the blues is best raw and crude IMO : -)

[piercedarrow57]

Yeah, I have a tube amp....just a Cheap Epi Valve Junior 5 watt with only a Volume control, but she sure sounds GREAT when I crank past '8'....its LOUD and breaks up amazing when pushed....can't wait to finish my CBG and play some slide.... thanks AGAIN for your cool music.......

[bemuzic]

@piercedarrow57 should sound great with your CBG!

[piercedarrow57]

Can't tell you how much I ENJOYED the sound from your home-made guitar and voice B.....I can't WAIT to finish my CBG and plug it in to my 5 Watt tube amp and crank it...Thanks for your amazing music!!!!!!

[bemuzic]

@piercedarrow57 thanks again!...ooh you've got a tube amp, I'm envious!! Let me know if you put a video on of your CBG when it's done : -)

[philjit1]
