Do you know who made it? Is it someone Nation folk would be familiar with?

Keni Lee Burgess has some great videos on here that can get you going as well. He will go into theory but it's all good stuff.

Also check out John "Red Dog" mcnair's instructional dvd. Go to the Cigar Box Music ad on this site... the dvd in question is buried amongst a number of other good dvd's and cd's, music as well as stuff on building.
