<p>"I believe the world needs a new Alan Lomax" - Amen, my brother! He/she is out there somewhere, I hope. I have a guest bedroom, and I can supply meals, some beers and a way point to circle back to on that long quest into antiquity and modern times...<a href="http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/antiquity" style="background-color: #fbd48e; font-weight: 400; color: #333333;"></a></p>

<p>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?</p>

<p>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! </p>

<p>1. I believe 3 strings can teach you what you can leave out of a song</p>
<p>2. I believe that simplicity is the essence of good design, both in building and in playing</p>
<p>3. I believe the same energy that builds a CBG builds friendships and families</p>

<p>8. I believe children should be issued a CBG at birth.</p>
<p>9. I believe anyone who masters the playing of one of these guitars is not afraid of their own blood.</p>

I like your beliefs, but might add a few more:<br />
<br />
1) "I believe I'll have another" is only a good idea AFTER the gig, and before you reach 4.<br />
2) I believe fewer notes are better. It is impressive to shred, but should serve the song.<br />
3) I believe 1 string will lead you to 3, then to 4, and sometimes, 6.<br />
4) I believe simpl is good. But Inalso believe in tasty complexity.<br />
5) I believe anyone can play these instruments.
