I like Matthew's rule number four: «I believe acoustic CBG separates the men from the boys», thumbs up! I don't agree with «Unplugged, a cigar box guitar isn't all that impressive: the sound is tinny, the volume is low... it is definitely a home-made, folk instrument»: what else?
Nice.
I'm with you on almost all of these. Some of the best concerts I've ever attended never used anything as a prop. But I certainly enjoy your visual shows and your use of a prop/drop CBG. I'm 100% with you on #10 and I often play actual bells and whistles when I'm on stage!
1. I believe 3 strings can teach you what you can leave out of a song
2. I believe that simplicity is the essence of good design, both in building and in playing
3. I believe the same energy that builds a CBG builds friendships and families
4.I believe acoustic CBG separates the men from the boys
5.I believe more than 3 chords is too many
6. I believe CBGs should struggle to remain affordable to the working stiffs
7. I also believe those incredible and Lovingly built High end CBG's are worth what the builders ask for them.
8. I believe children should be issued a CBG at birth.
9. I believe anyone who masters the playing of one of these guitars is not afraid of their own blood.
10. like the Greeks I believe the Gods do all things perfectly, we did not need to stop at the CBG but we could have.
8. I believe the essence of any music can be found in an empty cigar box.
