"@A.D.EKER- Thanks for the comments! Right now I am using a brass slide that I had previously but I'm not 100% sold on it. I really would like to find a glass/Pyrex slide that fits my finger properly.

I Am Blaming All of You with YouTube Channels.
This is not so much of a reintroduction as a rebirth so to speak. I joined Cigar Box Nation many, many years ago when I initially developed an interest in more "primitive" instruments, CBGs, mountain dulcimers, diddly bows, canjos and "strumstick" type instruments. I am primarily a bass player but stringed instruments of all types hold a fascination for me.And then the injury happened. I sustained nerve damage in my left arm that would no longer allow me to fret anything. my had was useless. I…See More

- How many instruments have you built so far?
- None yet.

William, here’s the Slinger’s One-finger songbook, everything is played with one finger, so it’ll be easy to play all the songs with a slide. There’s no special finger picking, just a couple simple strums & super easy chords? Cheers :)

- Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

- Thank you for your comment about the outrageous video. I understand your viewpoint, but I usually don't like to be negative about people's performance abilities (because Lord knows I learning too). You should see some of his other videos. They are comedic in nature and remind me of a randy Benny Hill show. It is too bad there is a language barrier. Enjoy.

- Hey William,
Thanks for your comments on the Li'l bastard I built... Il do a sound clip when I get chance. As for building one, I say go for it.... its very liberating being able to build without a thought for measuring, drying times or quality control!!
Cheers
Ben
