@alexkabasser Where did you get that scratchboard from/what's it made out of? I'm trying to make one for my guitar but can't seem to get the right sound. So far I've just got a thin piece of wood, scratched up the surface with metal files n dug groves into it. It doesn't make a particularly loud or scratchy sound though. Any help would be much appreciated. Fantastic guitar playing, keep up the good work :)

@maverick040690 scratchboard was built by nick benjamin (luthier of #77) don't know what wood that is, on my other guitar i use some spruce! anyway, hard wood is better for this purpose, greets

Even if you had tabs, I wouldn't dare looking at them..

[alexkabasser]

@DahlbergAdam hahaha, start slow, u can do it !

I can't tell if this sounds more Irish or S. African.

Either way, your last name should be KaBADASSer, cause its killer. Listened to your CD on Rhapsody. Very good stuff.

@alexkabasser thanks for the advice man. Might try to make one with a bit of spruce when I have a moment.

bad. ass.

Do you think an electric acoustic with a piezo pickup could pick up the sound of that sandpaper scratching as well as your guitar does? An amazing song by the way, my personal favourite of yours.
