-Just thought i would stop in, I havent been around for awhile my computer died,And I just now got hold of one to use,So I was bored and wanting to see if this old computer would do videos.

Its a Xp,I hadnt recorded anything in a long time,And just built me a 4 string fretted CBG that i was wanting to mess around with.So I just did a improv jam and used it and my strat and some harp and bass,just a loose jam really,tossed in some pics from the summer and trying to see if it loads with this computer.

Hows everybody doing?

Good to hear some CBG with harp an all.

Built my first one 6 months ago(3 string) .You could of used the neck as a Bow when i wound up the strings Lol

Have now built 3 more,and i can't even really play 'em!They still sound so good though just slidin' on the old 1 iv v

Addictive? almost worse than nicotine ;-)

Ha! I had to Google "CBG" to figure out it stood for Cigar-Box Guitar. I was thinking "CBG? What a weird tuning."

I tell ya timeistight,they have some weird tunings and trying to firgure out what range to tune,and what 3 or 4 strings to use ,and different ways to tune em,theres no set rule and they sound great with all of them but very different,Its one of the things that i havent firgured out as well as i would like,But then again for only having a few strings they can be used in alot of different ways.and tunings
