At 1:26pm on October 26, 2010, MBliss said…: You asked about other song recommendations.
I was thinking about that and it occurred to me that there was a couple of songs on the first Creed release, for instance "one" that might work well worked over for three string playing similar to your version of the Collective soul song.
I know, I hear it all the time, I'm too old for that stuff. Guess I'm just a sucker for a tasty hook!

At 3:02am on October 21, 2010, MBliss said…: Hey Crow!
I have a suggestion. I was exploring the nation and discovered your "one hour build" series of vids.
At the end you played a song, I believe it was "let your light shine down" or whatever its called, Collective Soul I think......
Anyway, I was impressed by how well it worked on the three string, and thought it would make a great "how to play" lesson, maybe some tabs, or at least step through it with the camera positioned to teach the song or something.

At 3:39am on June 18, 2010, Boogie Man said…: My pleasure. And I'm sure I will be soliciting advice!

At 9:29pm on June 17, 2010, Tom (mezzy) Hiles said…: Hey Crow, Thanks for your kind words on my hockey stick Vid.! I left ya some info on it in the videos comments.. (never been sure if those go back to people or not) Man love your cover of " love in vain" great pipes bro!

At 4:00pm on June 16, 2010, GI Junker said…: sorry took me awhile to respond...nothing much I just finished my first CBG and I am very pleased..never have I felt such accomplishment..

At 10:50am on June 15, 2010, Zandi Z said…: Thanks, Crow...love your 'mind-set' about building...efficient, inexpensive, good sound .. and great as a 'present' for someone who becomes enchanted but never thought they'd have the money or talent to invest in a 'real' guitar.
i do have an ulterior motive with some of my 'over-the-top' builds, though....
i do not want to waste time and energy making them loud....'lectrifying them achieves that easily.
I find that the sustain and vibrations from these builds are very relaxing to the body and so are specifically targeted towards the player..which is why i call them 'shamans'.
thanks for the encouragement...you are constantly inspiring...z.
