Well Ian, welcome to the club, i joined a few months ago, and like you im interested in playing the blues, but wanted to change from playing a steel resonator to a 3 string, i saw seasick steve at the o2 in leeds a couple of years ago and got hooked on the sound, then after trawling the net for a long time, came across this site, i then got in touch with Randy rooster and bought a 3 string from him, boy does it sound awsome, plugged in turned up , loads of distortion , it sounds real dirty, but i can play it clean and still get the delta blues sound, i love it , the sites brilliant, get in touch with some of the builders and watch the vids, i spend hours on here and cant get enough, my next ambition is to maybe build my own, So good luck enjoy the site get chatting and have fun, c ya.

Yes, I get kind of sea sick from long sessions of "pictures". It's a good sick though...

the deed is now done I've just placed an order for CBGitty's #4 Big Macanudo. Loved the tone on it from the moment I heard it.
