Jared King left a comment for Richard Markham"Seriously! No freakin' way! I thought I was the only one around these parts. From the look of your pictures, I could learn a lot from you. We should get together. I'd love to see some of your work in person."
Jared King replied to dogfinger steve's discussion scale length and different tunings? in the group Building a Cigar Box Guitar 101"If you're tuning to GDG, use the strings closest to it. In this case, the A, D, and G strings (5, 4, 3, if I'm remembering the correct numbering). DAD, you'd use the top 3 strings, E, A, and D.
Bonne chance, mon ami."

"It gets even better with each viewing. I notice little things that I didn't observe on previous views that make it that much sweeter. Thanks again, for this. It makes my day every time I watch it."
Jared King commented on Shane's group Building a Cigar Box Guitar 101"You can buy them at any hardware store. Just match them up to the screws you are purchasing to make sure they fit."

Jared King left a comment for Fitzhugh"I don't think it's silly at all. It's funny what douche bags people can turn into on the Internet. I keep a blog and have idiots telling me how stupid and off-base I am, and, I must admit, some days it makes me wonder whether or not I…"
Jared King replied to cefa paulus's discussion ciao from Italy in the group Introduce Yourself!"Welcome to the Nation. Good luck on your building and playing. Happy to have you along for the ride."
Jared King commented on Shane's group Introduce Yourself!"Welcome to the group, Steve. Happy to have you with us."
Jared King replied to Rick Stepina's discussion Excited to start... But now what???? in the group How to Play a Cigar Box Guitar"I greatly appreciated what you wrote. I didn't think it was too much. I whole-heartedly disagree with whoever said you were making it too complicated. You are 100% right, we all learn in our own ways, and yours doesn't happen to be theirs.…"
Jared King commented on Shane's group How to Play a Cigar Box Guitar"Actually, it' would be A-E-A or D-A-D or G-D-G. It's about the interval between the notes. Have you seen knotlenny's CBG 101 video?"

Shelley said… - Hi Jared,
How kind. We don't have our own CD yet. I do appear on a ukulele compilation cd which i have for sale in my Etsy store. (I also designed the packaging)
http://www.etsy.com/listing/50452699/bosko-and-honey-ukulele-safari?ref=em
But, it's definitely a CD for the ukulele enthousiast.
Not sure it would be your kind of thing. : )
But, hopefully we'll have our own disk out soon!
Thanks so much for inquiring!
Take Care & Have Fun,
Shelley
