I'm getting on ok thanks....doing a collaboration with my cousin who's a bit of a singer/songwriter...when she saw the videos of my CBG's she was fascinated and wanted us to do a song together...can't believe how much is involved...fun though!!!

At 9:43pm on December 26, 2009, Randy S. Bretz said…: Howdy Timothy, just was wondering if you got to play around with your new mojobone works slide yet. Let me know how you like it.

At 3:39pm on December 13, 2009, Penny Nelson said…: Hi Tim, sounds like we are very much on the same journey of discovery. I've was actually told by my guitar teacher at school not to bother putting in more effort cause I didnt have what it takes (like Lisa Simpson and her stubbie fingers and the saxamaphone).
Played the flute later on so have some musical skill but this is a whole new adventure.
Last year I took up playing the african drum so I have some more confidence in playing with other people.
Yeah Miceal was extremely helpful to me as well - we have to spread the word that "That guy with the pigs head" is very helpful and makes a great starter instrument : D

At 11:50am on December 11, 2009, bemuzic said…: oh right..well I've never reached the point of being able to play what I heard on anything!!.....yeah if you could do that I can see how it would be a bit like starting again in a way...guitars don't seem as clear as a keyboard, but I'm finding the CBG's, especially with the 3 string in open tuning quite easy to get something going (only simple things though!)....also as I try to find what I want, I sometimes come across something else that sounds good!!...if you're enjoying it I'm sure things will start to happen : -)

At 9:00am on December 11, 2009, bemuzic said…: Ha ha, well not too long to wait now!!....yeah Randy seems like a really nice guy and puts so much time into those slides, I'm sure he could charge more...not that I'm complaining!!
Ah it was the same guy....yeah I found that he just didn't seem to understand what the problem was?!...but then he did offer me my money back...wonder why he didn't do that with you??...anyway hope you get it sorted in the end.
Thanks for the compliment on my playing...I hadn't been playing any guitar for over 20 yrs, but a few months ago I got a small travel guitar, and then more recently my CBG's...thought it would be like starting from scratch, but some of what I'd learnt still seemed to be in there somewhere!!...also mess about on the piano a bit which I found helped a bit with understanding the theory...interesting you found that got in the way??

At 9:33am on December 10, 2009, bemuzic said…: Hi, was on Randy's page and saw you've got your slide, but it's been whipped away to be wrapped up for Christmas!! ha ha....sounds like your pleased with it?....don't think the guy is charging anywhere near enough for what he does!!
