Your a legend ! I've spent MONTHS trying to get my head around playing a CBG. I've got NO musical experience AT ALL - and after watching countless videos from other people, all saying do this, do that, you gotta do it this way etc - I ended up in a mess and utterly frustrated. I've already started playing my own (kinda "clumpy") riffs now :=)
I've got a long way to go tho. I'm still kinda hovering around the 5th,6th,and 7th fret area ( mines fretless, so i'm playing purely with a slide).

OK so how would that sound if you was to bend the string up are down.

Dude you're insane :-) Got so much knowledge from this 5 mins video. This stuff makes sense to me now. Awesome man. Keep it up.

What was the fret scale on this one? 24.5 or 25.5? I learned alot from my first build but I haven't quite wrapped my head around this fret scale thing. If I had 2 guitars side by side, one a 24.5 and the other 25.5, the third fret would sound the same if both were tuned to the same open chord, right?

Holy ...
Now, looking at this one CBG (I've seen you play others)... you have a nail for a nut, an eyebolt for a bridge and no frets. Right?
Dude! thats AWESOME! great work!... is there any way to play that blues chord bit on a normal guitar? could you say which chords you are using here?

I have no idea how to play a normal guitar anymore! Um, chords are probably G, C, D (typical blues I IV V)
