  • thumbs up if you think hes better at upstrokes (based on his rythm)

  • @skaterocker666: Wha???

  • My diddley bow is an electric one! The sounds you can make are virtually limitless. Great video though! I wasn't aware of the palm muting technique!

  • @magnum9987 Very cool. I've been meaning to put a piezo pickup in mine for a while now. Just haven't gotten around to it. I'm actually making a tele right now!

  • what gauge and what tuning should the diddley bow be? G im guessing

  • @LiLVeSt23 You can make it any way you want it. That's the beauty of the instrument!

  • @fatheadluv thanks you rock

  • @MrNikcccc You "bend" a note by moving the slide slightly up or down. In other words, there is no bending in the traditional sense of the word. You can, however, press down on the string and get (kind of) the same effect. Hope that helps!

  • how do you bend a note?

  • @LiLVeSt23 ha thanks man

  • @Stratplayer05: Probably 17 or so.
